Pig Tales on Lake Lanier

This is a really great place to get some good food. We went here for lunch today. The food was really good. The atmosphere was wonderful and peaceful. Our server was very nice and friendly. We never had to ask for anything. She made sure our drinks stayed full and that we had everything that we needed. There was plenty of parking and a nice little area to walk by the lake after eating. If you are looking for a good meal at a reasonable price, this is one of those places.

We loved it here so much we came back twice in a 3 day period. So many great menu options. The view on the lake is beautiful. Delicious food. Easily enjoy amazing weather with the deck/patio style seating. Really great all around. Only complaint is we had a hard time getting drink refills. And it took a long time to be able to put an order in for our food. Waitresses just seemed to disappear for bits at a time but were good when they were around. Definitely highly recommend the deep fried green tomatoes!!! They were a family favorite for sure. Honestly all of the food we got everyone loved. It seems you can’t go wrong here.

It was OK, but far from the great experience I was hoping to have just based on reviews I saw. I promise you my standards are not super high, but they are definitely not as low as give these guys five stars. The place is your typical beach or lake restaurant that is a bit pricey for what it actually carries, service is nice though not fantastic, the tables needed more cleaning as they were slightly sticky and the food was OK, but not mind blowing, by miles . You get plasticware, and laminated menus that I’m pretty sure I’m not very clean . If you can carry some hand sanitizer with you, I think you will thank me. The table I got was sticky, and there was a napkin dispenser that had not just seen better days but also cleaner ones. Mine hadn’t been cleaned or dusted, resulting in a sticky and dusty dispenser, the kind of stuff that you don’t want to touch or get anything from. The girl taking care of me was OK, but it took her a long time to realize I was ready to order and definitely never checked on me, so after I was done, I had to wait her to pop her head around my area and shake my hands quite more than a few times to get her attention . The sandwich was OK, though it broke apart the minute I picked it up . I usually do not mind a sloppy sandwich so it was OK I guess. Fried potatoes had a weird shape and they were not as dry or crispy as I expected, but they tasted good. The restrooms were clean, but smelled horrible really. to be honest though I do not know if the ones I use where part of the restaurant as they were outside and next to the restaurant, so maybe it was part of the complex. Nasty anyway. Price was not awful, but I was surprised I spent almost $25 on the sandwich I got plus the potatoes plus one glass of Diet Coke. I don’t know if they do refills, but I would assume they do.

Love the atmosphere of this place. The restaurant has a great view of the lake with plenty of activities to do when you’re waiting to be served. The food was decent. The chicken was seasoned well and crispy. I expected more seafood choices. I ordered the burger with pork and slaw but the slaw was different more with greens than cabbage. The burger was a bit bland needed a touch of salt. But I would return and try other menu items.

It is three stars because of the servers were really nice. No fresh brewed iced tea! The steamed and beer shrimp were cold and seemed a little old. The french fries were really good and the barbecue sauces that they give you a really good. The spinach salad was okay but it would be better if the dressing was warm or hot. It is a really nice location and it was fun to sit here and look at the lake and look at all the people having fun
