Snappers on the Water

Reviews & Tips

  Wow.    9 pm and you cannot have a bar stool...   Apparently they take the bar stools away from the bar because they don't want guests throwing them when a fight breaks out.  I wouldn't suggest coming here After 9 pm for a beer unless you want to stand!

  This is a restaurant with an identity crisis.  It's back to being Snappers after a brief stint on Tumbleweed.  I've only ever been in here on Sunday afternoons.  The food I've had has been decent, and the beer specials are good.  The bartenders have been upbeat.  I've never seen more than 7 other people in the place.
  
  I'll post a tip once I stop by on a weekend night.

  This review is for Tumbleweed Cantina.  After having some tasty toronados at taste in Fenton, we wanted to try this place out.  Sitting outside, drinking a local Michigan beer? Success.  The food? FAIL.  Service?  While our waitress was top notch- we waited forever for apps and dinner to arrive.  Only to be completely let down.  Food was tasteless.  I had the fish tacos.   Wife has the tamales.  Kids had the combo tacos.  $70 for the four of us to eat bland food.  Sorry.  We won't be back. And there are better places to go for a drink.

  Don't bother! The manager was as much of an airhead as the waitress who took our order ( 4 ) , not bothering to write anything down, then 5 min. later came back and asked 3 of us what we ordered. Since she didn't ask me, I figured mine was the only order she did remember, WRONG! she brought all the orders, one at a time, then looked at me and asked what I had ordered! After about 10-12 min. I asked for the manager. As I was explaining to him what happened, she finally brought out my dinner, which wasn't what I ordered. By this time everyone else was done with their food & the manager said he'd take care of it; he sent out another waitress who said she continue taking care of us and left. When she came back,  she started clearing empty plates and I told her she could have mine too; since I didn't order the scallop fettucini I only ate the scallops & some of the side order of hushpuppies. (I had ordered the scallops & hushpuppies dinner, Not scallop fettucini dinner with SO of hushpuppies) She appologized and left. 10-15 min. later, when I had gone to the ladies room & returned, there sat another dinner! I sought her out explaining I didn't want another dinner, just the check. When it came, I was surprised to see I hadn't even been comped for the beers (2) I had, or something at least, and got charged for the side order I hadn't asked for. I can't believe the manager had no more regard for my business than that so I paid the $70 bill and vowed never to be back. Guess he feels he doesn't need satisfied customers.

  Apparently this place has been called a bunch of different names.. but when we were there it was called Snappers on the Water.  It is literally on the water's edge - they have docks (although with as shallow as it was I don't know what you would dock there besides a rowboat) - I believe it is Bennett Lake that they are on (thus the name of the road).  
  
  We went there with a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon in hand, which was happily accepted.
  
  I thought it was noteworthy that they have a 64 oz drink available for $18.95 that has just about every shot known to man in it.  Insane!!
  
  The food was delicious.  we didn't drink alcohol here though so I can't say anything about the bar staff or the quality of their drinks. The snapper which was advertised was unavailable, so that was a disappointment, but no big deal.  What was available was well prepared and presented.  The wait staff was friendly and courteous.
  
  They are a small venue, and they had a party bus parked out front when we visited (we were there for lunch, so the place was empty then, but I imagine at night it gets uber busy being in the middle of nowhere on a lake).
  
  Overall, I'd have to say it was a 3 star experience.  The novelty was nice, but I don't really see us returning.
