Gar Woods Grill & Pier Review

Named after the builder of those beautiful mahogany race boats that used to grace the lake in the 1930s and 1940s, Gar Woods attempts to evoke and pay homage to that era. Whether folks are watching Monday Night Football or drinking a famous Wet Woody, it seems as though something is always going on in the bar. On a sunny day, it's great fun to sit on the lakeside deck to enjoy the good food and good cheer. The menu is wide-ranging, covering everything from a shrimp-and-lobster bisque to beer-battered coconut prawns, blackened chicken sandwich, and grilled rib-eye -- nothing out of the ordinary, but the preparation is solid and the service is friendly.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
