"I rarely post one star reviews, but this place earned it. We got there on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm, and the place was crawling with people. Normally, that's a good sign! It was a partly sunny afternoon, and in the low 80's; perfect for a meal sitting outside, next to the lake. The problem, was that about 75% of the people milling around this place were doing so, because there wasn't a single person in sight directing traffic to tables. No hostess. No servers. No managers. No anyone. Is this a self service restaurant? Are there servers? Do you seat yourself? Is there a list? Hello?!? Is anyone out there?

This visit was my first time at Howie's and I was initially a bit confused on where to check in. I spoke with the bartender who told me just to grab a table anywhere so we did. We took a seat by the water. The music was good, the scenery of the lake is great, and the service was good. My wife had their veggie burger and fries, which she said were amazing and I had three different tacos (chorizo, Caribbean jerk, and fish). We also split their guacamole and chips. We were pleasantly surprised by this place and we'll definitely come back again.

I would give 2 1/2 stars if I could. The good: Great view, Great location, nice patio. The waitresses was attentive and pretty on top of things. Drinks were ok, pretty much what you would expect at a dive bar. The food was horrible...... the tacos had potential but were over loaded with toppings, poorly constructed and as a result were soggy and not very well done, I think if it were the right mixture of ingredients it may have turn out all right. The coconut shrimp was under cooked and poor quality. The burger meat was very low quality and as a result it was a below average burger. Chicken tenders were pretty much what you would expect. Honestly the food was pretty crappy, I wish someone on...

Mine will be the contrarian review. A Facebook friend posted he ate lunch here the other day. So, despite some of the Yelp reviews, I trusted Mike's appetite and taste. We visited that evening for dinner. Once we discovered Howie's, tucked back in a residential neighborhood, we parked in the gravel parking lot and made our way down the steps to the patio. There were several open picnic tables and we chose one closest to the water. There was an interesting mix of guests. Quite a few people had arrived via boat. Our waitress came over and greeted us and was genuinely excited it was our first time visiting Howie's. She explained the menu and specials. She returned with our drinks and took our o...
