Well, we had a chance this weekend to try drop by both Daisy's at the North Lake Condos and Cream at the Creek in Wind Creek State Park. I think the folks that have already posted about Daisy's nailed it. We gave it a try Friday evening. The food was okay - although I thought a bit pricey for plastic plates and paper towel - but the service was really quite bad. The restaurant was not at all crowded, but apparently a couple of call-in orders (placed by folks who arrived for pick up and waited near the bar almost as long as we did) had the kitchen in chaos. Someone from the kitchen came out and apologized to us, but that didn't make the food come any faster. Everyone we talked to on staff there was very friendly, but we had to ask multiple times for most things - sweetener for the tea, dressing for salad, tartar sauce for the fish, etc. - and the wait and wait for it to arrive. I can tolerate some issues, but the food really wasn't good enough to overcome all of that.

Then on Sunday we stopped by Cream at the Creek for ice cream. Quite possibly the best chocolate malt I have ever had, but like Daisy's, the place was practically a study in how not to run things. There was a huge line of folks getting sno cones and ice cream, so they were definitely hopping. But their assembly process in the kitchen seemed very haphazard with folks getting their orders in pieces often SEVERAL minutes apart, which doesn't work all that well when kids and frozen confections are involved. And they got our order wrong, but fixed it rather quickly once they finally understood the mistake.

So, as nice as it is to have options on the north end of the lake, I'm afraid the fried catfish and fried shrimp from Daisy's just aren't good enough to overcome the service problems. At least not anytime soon. The chocolate malt from Cream at the Creek, however, may just be worth the wait.

When I contrast these two experiences with lunch at Sinclair's on Saturday and lunch at Chuck's on Sunday, I just have to ask: Isn't there a restaurant owner on the south end of the lake who's interested in expanding?
