Driftwood

For a small town this restaurant is huge. They also have massive booths that could easily fit 14+ people. The pizza is ok, I'd suggest getting something else, it's not bad just not overly good, way to much sauce for my liking. The steak was cooked as order and the sides were delicious. The Mac and cheese was very cheesey and looked to have multiple types of cheese in it. Would recommend this place for people visiting lake Mac.

Addendum: After leaving my last review, the owner, Samantha, personally and graciously called me to talk about my bad experience. For an owner to take time out of their day and personally tend to an online review, speaks wonders. Samantha asked us to give Driftwood another try and see if they could give us a better experience. We went there for a second time and I have to say my experience was extremely pleasant and worth the drive! Waitress was phenomenal and tentative and food was hot and delicious. My overall experience was superb and I am happy I gave this place another try. Decided to take my dad here for his birthday. Drove 60 miles and the waitress was absolutely awful. It was not busy as it was a weekday and there weren’t a lot of other people in the restaurant. She would sigh or roll her eyes when asked to get anything. This is after she told us that there would be an 18% tip automatically per ticket since we had a party of 11 (6 adults 5 kids). I did not have a problem with that rule at all, and would’ve given a larger tip had she been the least bit polite. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Stopped in while traveling west off I 80 and had the best surprise when pulling in and seeing how friendly and inviting this restaurant was. And then was pleasantly surprised by all the friendly smiling staff And their eagerness to make sure we had everything we needed and our food was fixed to our satisfaction. One of the best places we have been to and all the traveling we’ve done in the last two years. Will go there again!

Wonderful staff, wonderful food but incredibly rude and awful GM. We had a dog with us, 3 different wait staff told us it was okay then relocated us to an area to accommodate until the GM came out and told us that we were breaking policy. Could’ve been polite about it but when we asked for the check, in a snarky tone, handed it to us. Just tell the policy upfront before we order drinks and food and we would have either abided or found an alternative spot. Great staff and food, this review is specifically for the GM
