The Hooch Hideaway - Lagrange

Visited a few nights ago and our first trip this year. Ordered fried pickles which you get one dozen fried pickle chips for $11.99 and the ranch was like WATER. Ordered a burger which ironically came with seven pickles, frozen patty and over cooked French fries that looked and tasted like they were made hours before. The mustard packets I was given were expired, the mustard came out as a solid! Hubby ordered catfish sandwich and at first tasted great but as he ate more the catfish was completely mushy and his fries were over cooked and tasted like they had been made hours earlier as well. I had one small bite of my frozen burger patty after scraping off the expired mustard and we were offered a $4 discount. If you are charging a premium price for a premium location your food definitely needs to be better!

First things first, they were running a limited menu so they didn't give us menus. Bathrooms were extremely dirty, ceiling fans looks like they haven't been used in years, our table was dirty and sticky. There were both flies and wasps all inside. I worked in a restaurant for 4 years so I try not to leave negative reviews but this was the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. Was told they were out of fries, so we ordered other sides. They never told us it was an upcharge. Was charged $16 for 8 low quality, small pieces of shrimp. Food is extremely low quality for how much it costs. Will never be returning. Was charged a service fee which is supposedly for the army core of engineers and to run credit cards, but most likely does not change if you pay with cash. Waitress was fine, not the best, not the worst, but didn't inform us of any prices after not offering a menu or any upcharges whatsoever.

DO NOT RENT A BOAT FROM THIS PLACE. We rented a boat this past weekend and paid well over $500 dollars for this boat. It was covered in spider webs and spiders and there were cockroaches inside where the life jackets were located. When we tried to use the ladder to get into the water we released there was no ladder, only one step ABOVE the water line. One of our attendees got all scratched up and bruised trying to get back into the boat without a ladder. We were offered to change boats. We had to drive this boat ALL the way back to the dock, we were about 45 minutes away. Then we were told we had to pay for all the gas we had already consumed even though we had to STOP and drive all the way back to get a new boat. The new boat was covered WORSE in spider webs and all the cup holders were filled with water. When we drove away and attempted to use THIS ladder it literally pulled out of the floor on the VERY FIRST USE! So we weren't able to swim at all! When we returned to the dock we had to pay for all the gas on that boat and when we asked to speak with a manager to get some assistance on ALL the issues we had, we were told they were TOO BUSY and someone would call us this week. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE AND POORLY RUN! Oh and to top it off the bathrooms in the restaurant area were literally flooded. When you flushed the toilet, water GUSHED out around the base. The bathrooms were like a small lake. I have rented boats here in the past and never had these issues. Whoever is running this place now, needs some serious help!

This was the worst meal I've ever paid for and waited 2 hours for. There was only one waitress dealing with the entire Sunday rush, causing slow service. If I had known it would be so slow, I would not have stayed. Communication is key in situations like this. Now to the food... The burger was awful, burnt and flavorless despite ordering it medium. The fries were overly salty and barely edible. The side of mac and cheese, priced at 4.99, consisted of only 8 noodles. We have visited many marinas, and this was the worst experience. We will not be returning.

Loved the food and the service! You need to try the fried green tomatoes! They are delicious.
