Splash Waterfront Bar & Grill

I'm surprised i"m the first person to be Yelping about this place. It's located in the middle of tourist country. Splash is right on Castle Rock Lake so you can go by boat or vehicle. Splash is about 15 minutes north of the intersection of 82 and Z, or 10 minutes south of Z and 21.

I visited Splash for the first time in August 2010. I ordered a BBQ burger, our party of 4 also ordered the large nacho platter. I don't know the name of the platter but it is huge. The nachos will take 4 grown adults to eat. Honestly it'd make more sense for everyone to share a nacho platter and another appetizer then to get individual entrees. The service has always been good. Seems like every summer that I make it up there it's busy when I head up.

This summer 2012 I was there and the dinner menu seemed a bit more pricey for the quality of the food. I ordered jumbo shrimp and they were just ok My better half ordered the cheesy chicken and she wasn't too impressed.

I honestly think a place like Splash should stick with normal bar fare. The burgers have always been good as have there appetizers. When ever we've ordered regular dinner entrees we haven't been all that pleased.

I think from now on we will stick with burgers here. Keep in mind the nachos will fill 4 adults up so don't order them in conjunction with regular dinner entrees.

Our first red flag should have been that the hostess could not tell us how long the wait would be. The second was that there seamed to be plenty of waitresses, but tables were uncleared and people were sitting around without drinks, and one table without menus.

We only waited 15 minutes until we were seated. We ordered our drinks and meal right away. The waitress had left us kids menus with activities, but no crayons. We didn't see the waitress again (not even just passing by to go to another table) for at least 40 minutes. In the mean time I went up to the bar to get our own drinks, and some crayons. At one point I found the hostess and asked her how long she thought it would be until our food was ready. Again, she didn't know.  

When our food did arrive it was o.k (but not worth that long of a wait. It is worth a short wait, I mean, it could have been worse.) I ordered a pork and coleslaw sandwich and my husband had a burger. Neither come with anything but a few thin pickles. I wish the waitress would have mentioned that they did not come with french fries or anything. We ordered three kids meals; two chicken and one fish. We received three chicken meals. When i mentioned it to our waitress she looked at her ticket, and grumpped to us that her ticket just says three chickens. Evidently it was our fault in he eyes.

The only saving grace was that there is a little playground for the kids to hang out at, and a bar so we could get our own drinks.
