Ordered Spotted Rooster Tacos without wraps on a bed of lettuce. Super delicious. We also enjoyed the storm with an embedded tornado in it. It was amazing how the floating outdoor deck sheltered us . Super friendly staff with great food.
This place is the best. You won’t find anything like it. Jordan at the marina is the kindest human and so forgiving when you need a tow, need new batteries in your broken boat, or just do stupid thing they don’t really need to help with. He is patient and so helpful as is their entire staff at the marina. The Sat. Night live music is banger and the food is some of the best on the lake. Any guest that has ever visited with us has loved the whole experience. They love what they do and it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Lauren the sweetest server girl ever at the bluegill you’ll have the complete experience!
Rode up to Bluegill today. It did not disappoint. It has indoor and floating dock seating. The rooster tacos were great. The Dickle Pickle was also very good for the adults. The menu had a very large selection. I was expecting only burgers and few other options.
An amazing hidden spot on Tim Ford they have a live band and a bar and you can feed the fish while you eat there's bluegill all in the water next to the restaurant. The restaurants it's right on the it's beautiful.

The ambiance is enhanced by the gentle sway of boats and the calming water view. It's the perfect place to savor delicious food and create lasting memories.
I was camping at Tims Ford and was looking for a restaurant nearby. I’m glad I found this one! It’s about 10-12 minutes from the visitors center side of the park. I called in my order and it was ready on time. I got the oyster poboy and fried okra. The oysters were surprisingly very good! I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a middle of nowhere marina restaurant, but it was very good! Portions were very large.
First time at Bluegill Grill!! We very enjoy dinner there! The food is good! I love to see the fish, there's a ton of them!! Very fun to feed them hahaha. The server is very friendly! We will be back! Wednesday they have all you can eat cajun for 22/per person. I might try sometimes! Hope it's not too many people.
This was the 1st time here, and it was amazing! The food was delicious. we had a Cuban there sauce was so good it came with French fries. There waitress was very good too so sweet. I highly recommend stopping in it's so worth it.
