Bayside Located Inside The Cobblestone Inn And Suites, Fairfield Bay, Ar

We took our visiting family there on a Wednesday night for dinner. Our server, Brandon, was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the stuffed chicken, pork chops, and Monterey chicken sandwich. All were tasty, hot and fresh. Fried pickles were awesome! Pecan pie, Key Lime pie, chocolate cake... Impossible to choose! All were so good. Prices were cheaper than other local spots and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Good for families or couples. Highly recommend and will be back!

The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive, nice, and professional. The food was the only problem. I ordered the steak burger and a baked potato. The steak was almost raw. I ordered medium rare, it was so chewy I couldn't even swallow it. My baked potato resembled the gas station food that had been sitting in the warmer all day. My husband and sons food was pretty good. My husband ordered a burger and fries, and my son ordered the Mac and cheese and fries. The fries were delicious. The atmosphere is very laid back. They had live music, the place looked very clean. My only advice would be to order the simpler items on the menu. If I had ordered a burger, my experience would have been 5 stars.

Unfortunately this place was awful. The service was SO slow, the waitress was awful even though she only had 3 tables. She took one of our cups of tea for a refill and she was gone with it for 10 minutes!! She took a guys order who had just come in at the bar while we had been waiting for literally 15 minutes for her to come take our order. We didn't get the correct food but figured we didn't want to wait another 10-20 min for her to bring a side of tartar sauce or the correct potato toppings. Insanely slow service--and when we did actually get service, it wasn't good. Also the food was 2/5 and it was very expensive. Also a weird menu, and very limited options. Blue cheese stuffed chicken--yuck!

I ALWAYS try to give them the benefit of the doubt , given I have worked in the food service I personally know how it can be sometimes. As for our visit here , we stopped by while on vacation , left very disappointed, will not be back definitely wouldn’t recommend this. Service is #1 always! We walked in through the main entrance , talked to one girl who said sit wherever you want , we’ll be right with you. So we seat ourselves in the patio area, 20minutes go by and we still haven’t seen a server , no menus , no drinks. Another server comes out and wipes off a table , asks if we’ve been helped, no we hadn’t , we wait 15 more minutes , I go in and just ask to get a menu, told he was on his way to me as he’s talking to another worker. Again , I know how it gets sometimes but the restaurant was not busy, this was a Tuesday. Finally we get menus watered down drinks , no straws, fine , we goto order the server doesn’t use his book which I would assume is the reason he messed up our very simple orders. No refills, no one checked on us after we got our food. Disappointing, this place has a great atmosphere it has potential but lack of service or clearly lack of communication. We were there for an hour a half before we got our food total. There was 2 other tables near by I could overhear wasn’t happy.

Place was busy on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Food was great. Food: 5 Atmosphere: 4
