  OMG - the bar was rocking when we got there, live music with the singer belting out "Son of a Preacher Man".  Fabulous voice.  And what was great is that there are two sections - in case you're not in the mood for the live music scene.  
  
  The chef made me the best ahi tuna I've ever had - and I've eaten in plenty of five star restaurants.  Fabulous sauce over it, with some shrimp and holy cow the veggies were to die for.  
  
  I can't recommend this hidden gem enough.  Seriously, if you live in the area, get your butt over there for some great food and a fabulous atmosphere.  
  
  Sadly it's closed on Sundays and Mondays.

  Lake Dogs is under new management as of about 4 weeks ago.  They still serve hot dogs (my mother fell in love with the slaw dog) but so much more.  We tried the crab cakes, buffalo shrimp and lobster bites and they were outstanding.  The Low Country Boil was like nothing I've ever had before and would eat every night if it was available:  chunks of potato, sausage, big shrimp, huge crab legs set on top, and a half ear of corn.  It was scrumptious.  The 2nd time I went I opted for the big salad and it was more than enough food for dinner.  Lettuce, tomatoes, boiled egg, cucumbers, and lots and lots of boiled shrimp on the top.  Blue cheese dressing on the side and a nice glass of Cabernet left me a happy camper.
  
  They have plenty of flat screens to cover the games and live music outside some nights that's not so loud indoors that it drowns out conversation.  The wait staff is fun and quirky and the chef loves trying out new stuff.  If I lived nearer I would volunteer to be a guinea pig for his recipes.  I understand that their smoked ribeye is awesome.  Each night has a theme - their website shows them as well as some of their dishes.  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenewlakedogs.com&s=b002db601c1847d3de963b6e591e91dd0636dc3668fa1eb9e19b37a22389be56" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenewlakedog…</a>

  They may advertise "the best hot dogs in Georgia" but the hotdogs were just meh. I ordered a chili cheese dog and expected a big sloppy thing to eat. It came wrapped up in paper, no cheese, no onions, never even asked if I wanted any. I had to ask for a knife and fork, although I probably could have picked it up and ate it with minimal mess. Never got the knife anyway. I was lured in by a sign on the interstate, big disappointment.

  we went there with a table of 5 last night. It was packed out with regulars and there was a live band on the deck. Apparently they do this every Thursday night. The sign and menu both state hot dogs, but on Thursday they have boil night and on Friday they have steak night. 3 of us at the table had the snow crab legs boil, one had the shrimp casserole and one had a half pound of boiled shrimp. Now for the review:  BEST crab legs I have ever had hands down and I get them everywhere. They were crispy and buttery and sooo well seasoned. The sides were a spectacle as well. The shrimp, which I sampled, were seasoned the same and very tender. I did not sample the shrimp casserole,  but I hear it is a crowd favorite. The owners and waitstaff were attentive and friendly, even in a packed out environment.  My only cons are that the a/c was weak last night after a 110 degree day and the place is a little hard to converse on band night. I will not take it down a star though as I would sit in the direct sun in 100 degree heat and never say a word if it meant having these crab leg and shrimp dishes. Can't wait to go back. Keep up the great work!
