Portside Grill & Bar

Right on the lake and fantastic chili lime chicken wings!

This is the most fun place at the lake.  It makes you think that the next person arriving is really likely to be Jimmy Buffett.  The peel 'em and eat 'em shrimp are (almost) as good as any you'll find in New Orleans.  (Hey, this is SML, anyway!) the wings are fantastic, as are the burgers.  My personal favorite is the Cuban sandwich.  It is a great place to while away the afternoon, enjoying a great view of the passing parade of boats and just getting into that Key West state of mind!

Really nice atmosphere!  We had a lovely visit at Smith Mountain Lake.  Having dinner here just added to the overall wonderful experience.  It has a very laid back vibe, which was perfect for our large group to include 4 children and 5 adults.  The kids played w/their very simple ring on a string for awhile, which gave the adults time to chat.  The food wasn't gourmet, but it was as expected for a lake side grill.  Everyone raved about the chicken wings.  I had the cheeseburger, and was not dissapointed.  The kids had a frozen non-alcoholic pina colada which they gulped down quickly...Bottomline, if I visit Smith Mountain Lake again, we will be stopping here again!
