Reviews Summary

Rowdy Beaver Restaurant & Tavern offers generous portions and a rustic, friendly atmosphere. Diners often praise the perfectly cooked steaks, flavorful chicken tenders, and delicious loaded baked potatoes. However, some patrons report issues with slow service, especially when the restaurant is busy or understaffed, and a few have found certain dishes to be overpriced for the quality. The "dive bar" smell has also been noted by some.

"We’ve been wanting to check this place out for a couple of years and finally went last night. Our server was great! He was attentive enough that we never needed anything but since we were clearly on a date, he let us be. I got the prime rib and it was huge! It was cooked perfectly and tasted great. My husband got the French dip sliders and he said they were awesome. It will cost you more than some restaurants but the food is worth the money. We spent about $70 and didn’t order liquor just so you have a frame of reference."

"The food was phenomenal! I had the patty melt with hushpuppies. The burger was cooked as ordered, and the flavor was great. The wife had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and hushpuppies. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not dried out, and not full of grease. She is not a fan of white gravy, but found it really good and tasty. The restaurant side was closed and had to eat in the bar, where there was colorful language from the patrons in the rustic setting. The gift shop was closed, I really wanted a Rowdy Beaver t-shirt. The waitress was new and messed up my order, but quickly corrected it."

"Nice spot with a lot of seating and a home-town feel. It was pretty quiet when we were there so less than 20 customers and no wait.
We ordered the beaver Dam sandwich which was jalapeno and cheesesteak on a bun which was fabulous, and the GF got the chicken fried chicken and onion rings. CFC was good although a little underseasoned. The fries here were a solid 7/10 even though they were served at room temp. I would guess they could be a 10/10 if hot and fresh.
Good selection of cocktails and beer but not much local beer on tap. Service was good, friendly, and punctual."

This large cave is situated on the southern shore of Beaver Lake. This man made lake offers a ton of recreation opportunities including fishing and boating. Its 487 miles of shoreline weave in and out of valleys and limestone bluffs, so there are plenty of coves to explore away from the central lake area.
