I’ll let the picture speak for itself. Had the smoked wings half lemon pepper half Jamaican jerk. Dare I say some of the best wings I’ve had in Charlotte. Was genuinely impressed. Major props to the chef!

We had a nice time visiting this spot over the weekend — the location was lively and definitely one of the most happening places around! The service was a highlight for us: Sydney was our server and she was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food itself was okay, not particularly memorable, but they made up for it with a good selection of alcohol options. Overall, a fun place to hang out, especially if you’re looking for a great atmosphere and excellent service!

The food was delicious. Our server wasn't the best. The brisket & pulled pork was delicious. The white cheddar Mac & cheese was yummy. The hushpuppies with the honey butter was out of this world. I almost got some to take home with me. 10/10 hope to be back one day. Hopefully better service

Food was Amazing. Ribs. Smoked Wings. Brisket. Rice Pilaf. Beans. All Excellent. Impressive Quality and Consistency accross the entire meal. Outside might be a bit much for the summer but inside was nice and cool and the service was perfect.

I took my son and his girlfriend to Boardwalk Billy's for lunch. This was our first time here and we really liked it. The bar is cool with lots of TVs. We started off with the chips and guacamole, and they were very good. I had the wings, and they were cooked perfectly. They both had a burger, and they enjoyed it. I was impressed with Boardwalk Billy's and look forward to coming back.

This is a nice place to come to for views, drinks and hangout. The food was great. I ordered steamed oysters and they came out pretty quickly. The salmon was excellent! A must try! I also enjoyed the lemon pepper green beans. The scenery is beautiful if you sit on the back patio over looking the lake.

I love eating here by the water. It gives me the feel that I’m at the beach for just a little while. The service and the food was good. I have never had a bad experience here.
