"100% Family/Friends/Work Lunch Recommended & Apprived!! This whole place is Amazing!!
Very kid & wheelchair friendly! The tacos & food at The Lake House Kitchen was eaten so fast pics of our meal weren't taken. The atmosphere is absolutely delightful at night and feels safe to allow children to rum around. Many many picnic tables and places to sit and eat! The grab & go at each eatery is convenient for those wanting different foods! The Ice Cream at Ripples is simple Real Ingredients with OUTSTANDING Flavor!!!! We ordered a flight which is six 1/2 scoops and perfect to top off dinner between 5 of us! Stopped in Maritime for a drink and can attest to the deliciousness of their boozy hurricane as well!
I'll Be Back!!!"
