Blue Water Grille

So far off of Marina parking lot! The walk on the marina docks to the restaurant is very far… be prepared to WALK a lot!

Overpriced food was below ok and portions were small will not be going back here. Not easy access from land.
Golf cart service back to our car was good.

Very very good food and drinks. Staff is very friendly. The view and atmosphere is very nice. Center hill lake is beautiful and this is not typical lake food

Eight of my girlfriends and I recently dined at BWG when we were visiting Center Hill Lake. We had a very easy time making a reservation and the hostess was patient with us when were a few minutes late and wanted to go take a few photos before being sat.
The view from the marina is absolutely gorgeous — I definitely recommend going around sunset if you can. We had delicious mozzarella sticks for an appetizer along with the artichoke dip. The artichoke dip was a little disappointing because it frankly tasted like spicy queso with a few bits of artichoke… not exactly what we were hoping for.
All the meals from the chicken tenders, to the burgers, to the quesadillas (chicken & veggie) got good reviews from those who had them. I ordered the «herb roasted chicken» and was disappointed when it came out fried, not grilled. Nowhere did it mention it was a fried chicken breast. Either way, food was good & decently priced.
We had some cocktails (peach sangria & hurricane) which were good, although the amount of alcohol in them is questionable.
All in all, a good meal with a great view!

I really fancy marina restaurants, or at least the idea of them. Usually, I find that the food is pretty blah and I only accept it because I want to be on the water. So, imagine my surprise when I found this gem! The food is good, like really, really good! I would pick this restaurant if it were totally landlocked. I had the roasted chicken, which was amazing! I also sampled some appetizers, which were great, as well. I had a couple of glasses of champagne, too. The service was snappy, and the view was great! This place knocked my socks off!

So, restaurants in marinas work one of two ways. You look at the price, eat the food, and calculate your «waterfront» tax at 30−40%…
Or the way they do it here — serve food that’s actually worth what it costs. We had a club sandwich (real slabby tasty turkey and ham), sweet potato fries (about as good as any such anyplace), chicken (no complaints from the complainer), and a cheeseburger (actually cooked medium).
Service at late lunch on Sunday was snappy and on the ball.
Just perfect for boat dock dining.

FYI– this restaurant is closed Labor Day through April.
(would have been nice if Unilocal mentioned that instead of saying they are «open now» :/)

Lunch on the Lake makes for a perfect day
The Bloody Mary at Blue Water Grille is a great way to start the day or start lunch. My fish tacos are wonderful with slaw and guacamole on the side. Fish was nicely grilled and a tasty remoulade sauce. My husband had the blackberry chicken salad, which was OK. The dressing on the salad was way too sweet but the chicken salad was tasty although the blackberries make it purple. All in all we’d go back again.

This was a great find on our drive home from North Carolina. A little off the beaten path but definitely worth it. Food was great, service great, awesome wine list and beer choices. And considering they are the only place around we thought their prices were very reasonable. Definitely worth the stop off I-​40. Also very pet friendly. They even brought a bowl of water and a homemade biscuit for our dog!

Great fish! Great setting! Really imaginative menu for example, Brussels sprouts with jalapeño jelly! Wow! Good beer on tap.

This is a seasonal restaurant.
