The Boat House Restaurant

This establishment has changed hands a few times. The current owners have remodeled so that all their guests can see the sensational views of Realfoot Lake!
Our visit hosted exceptional great food.
My fish fillet plate was hot, cooked perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection! Others at our table enjoyed a delicious Steak and grilled chicken breast.
The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This is a must stop on your vacation trip!
In my opinion, they are as good as the other more established restaurants that have been on the lake because of the view and service we received.
Stay consistent and we will keep coming back!!

First day at Eagles Nest Resort, just down the road from The Boat House, also first time at ReelFoot Lake EVER!! Didn't know their hours, came in just at Sunset, waitress was pleasant and friendly and helpful!! We ordered chicken fried steak and it was Awesome!! (We were catching fish, so we didn't want fish) Not very many people, Not busy. Got a beautiful photo of the sunset, First night there from their Beautifully Clean Huge Windows!! Everything was wonderful! *(The cashier could have been a bit more friendly, and could have spoken to us in a friendlier tone.)* But other than that, would recommend 10/10. Found out why he might have been unfriendly... they stayed late to accommodate the few guests that were still there, including us!! Still would recommend 100/100 !! Thanks for feeding us delicious fresh food on our first night, Sorry didn't know the hours

We enjoy eating at the Boat House in Samburg. The atmosphere is friendly. The service is good and the views of the lake are amazing. My meal was the fried chicken salad and my husband ate the Philly Cheese hoagie. Both were delicious! The fries are seasoned & came out hot! We ate for under $30!!!! Can’t beat that!

Loved the food, service and how it's decorated. Also, we had a perfect table right by the water.
The owners and waitresses are so nice.

They had a few issues at breakfast time , they are just starting on serving breakfast so just a few minor details to work out they will definitely get the hang of it . There dinner was awesome . The atmosphere is Beaytiful. Over we will be back ty to all the staff .

We are absolutely positive surprised about this place. The grilled catfish was perfect, the side dishes and salad as well. The service was super friendly. We would definately return if we are around again.

The homemade chocolate cake was a treat. Love it.

When I don't have time for a sit down meal there,I order carryout because their food is wonderful.I personally have never encountered anything other than friendliness and professional service along with great atmosphere.

Glad they reopened. But on Sunday better get there early on the lunch special it doesn't last long. Food was good and service was good also.

Great food and great service and the view from the dining room is just breathe taking. Can't wait to go back for a visit soon!!! Love me some Reelfoot Lake!!!!!

Great place to eat. Very clean and nice atmosphere. The food was delicious.
Great menu with lots of options. We had catfish with all the trimmings and a shrimp cocktail.
Delicious!

thanks for a wonderful dining experience!

Beautiful setting on bank of Reelfoot Lake. Great service, prices, and food. Just got dessert and a great sweater.

We live in Tipton County came to the Boat House after the tornado last year. We loved The Lakeview and had tried a couple of the other restaurants in the area. We stopped looking when we found The Boat House. We came back this week and stayed at Southshore Resort for 4 nights. We ate here Thursday and Friday nights. They are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. The fried catfish is perfectly seasoned and fried fresh. We had the slaw, fries, white beans, and green beans. I had the catfish both nights and Joe had the chef’s salad the second night. All of the sides were were flavorful especially, the white and green beans. Joe’s salad was a great portion with ham, bacon and good, crisp veggies. The staff is all very friendly and attentive. The view is perfect of the lake and the sunset beautiful, whether from the restaurant or the park outside. We will definitely be back for my birthday in October, if not sooner just for the catfish! The owners, Kerry and Joann, are the perfect hosts! It is definitely worth the short, pretty drive to Samburg.

Love the view of Reelfoot Lake! We were there in the middle of the afternoon. It wasn't too busy so we got a seat right by the window looking over the lake. Very friendly staff and the catfish was delicious

Great place. Accommodating 20 people very easily and efficiently. Food was fantastic. Atmosphere was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The view is amazing!
Didn't dine, just stopped for views 😊

The food was incredible! The catfish was steaming hot when they brought our food. Those were the biggest fillets we've ever had! The service was great too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Enjoyed a great dinner everything was delicious!

New manager's literally took over ownership just before Dec 10th tornados hit. Didn't stop them from keeping on. Food excellent. View is always stunning

We went there with around 30 people and the staff and food were both amazing. Jenna was extremely nice and friendly. If I'm back in the area i will definitely return.
