Bear Creek Marina

"Awesome lake view, cold beer, terrific cocktails! Had the marinated steak tipswhich exceeded my expectations. Did I mention they have friendliest staff around? Worth the wait & we will be back!"

"You can't find too many places that have good service, great prices, really tasty food, plus an outstanding View, but here we are. The restaurant, Bear Creek Marina, served up everything in spades, and I look forward to returning with friends and family."

"We love the Bear Creek Marina. My family stay in the campground on weekends and enjoy hanging out with all the staff! The environment, food, staff, and drinks are all top notch. We recommend this place 100%! Karaoke and bands every weekend. Sam and Jennifer behind the bar are the best! All servers doing a fantastic job as well!"

"We got there at 1:30 pm on Sunday. It only got more crowded. Salmon was good not too dry. Cheesesteak was excellent with pepper-jack. Shaded areas were cool and comfortable direct sun not so much. Owner was sitting at the bar chatting. Guy singing was talented and a good volume to be able to talk."

"After going to the Emerald Village, the whole family was hangry. I Google a place to eat nearby on the way down the mountain. I saw a lot of potential places, but they were all closed or closing within the hour since it is Sunday. By the time my cell service stabilized, I found the listing for Bear Creek Marina & restaurant. We quickly set the destination into the GPS and went through new winding roads until we arrived at this amazing river front establishment. We sat on the patio bar and ordered our food. Our waitress was kind but unattentive. We received water from a passing waitress and additional sauces from the food runner. Everyone was nice enough, but we had to ask the passing waitress (that brought us a pitcher of water) to hunt down our waitress for additional items to our order. I asked for fried shrimp but received grilled. We had a bit of a wait for our food and the waitress had disappeared (even with all of our waters drained) so I didn't send it back, I just ate it. I probably needed at least *one thing* on my plate *not* deep fried, anyway. The food was delicious. Everyone was pleased with what they ordered. For the price, the serving portions are good. I saw a lot of smiling faces around the patio. It felt like our service issue was an isolated case."

"This was our selection to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. The drive was a little over one hour from our home and it was worth the trip. The host was able to seat us very promptly and with an outside table sporting an umbrella and fantastic views of lake James. Our waitress brought table settings and menues while taking drink orders. She was very kind to all of us and very attentive during our meal. Serving sizes I thought were very good. Our son had a shrimp meal with sides and if I recall he said there were 12 or 14 shrimp. My fried flounder meal had four good sized filets (the menu indicated only 2) each was nicely cooked and not oily at all. The green bean side almost tasted as if they were grilled, very nice touch. The sweet tea had just a bit more sugar than what I use, but very refreshing. Great marina and boaters atmosphere. There is live music although not while we visited. I would make another visit to the Bear Creek Marina it is thumbs up. If my review helped you please give me a like. And God bless you."
