With all the debate going back and forth on Sinclairs, all I would like to say in closing is I do not understand why people that say yes it is bad, but it is at a lake and other lakes don't even have that good ... why is it they do not have higher standards/expectations for themself and the business they are paying their hard earned money to.
A business is a business. You should expect value and a level of quality and service by paying your money. The business in turn should have a desire to also provide that to earn your business. The problem is they have no competition so they do not have to try harder and can pretty much charge what they want.
My best anology is if you hirer a painter and his quality is bad and does an overall lousy job ... you don't say well this is at a lake so I don't expect more. You still expect the job to be done right if you are paying for it. The same should be for Sinclairs or any restaurant. Again the difference in my example is that you know if the painter did a bad job you would fire him and hire someone new ... because you have a choice. We do not have the same choice (yet) on this side of the lake. I believe if we did and a better option, Sinclairs would be hurting badly. I just look forward to that day ... or that they improve. Either would be fine by me.
Those that say, well stay home and cook ... I go to the lake to relax. Part of relaxing is my choice to cook or go out. We just happen to like to eat out, socialize with friends and not have to cook and clean up.

are with you 100%. Love the lake and love to go eat on the deck overlooking the lake but when the food is complete crap and then the tab comes for $60 or $70 it is hard to stomach (no pun intended). Sadly though, with the water the way it has been for a few years and gas keeping people at home....the dining business is not going to thrive on the lake. We are stuck with the nice atmospheres and locations....as well as the subpar service and horrible cooking.

I agree. However I would much rather see them improve on what they have than go out of buisness.

let me start by saying I will not eat at Sinclears, Disney World or any Dinner Theater. I know that the food at any of the above mentioned places will suck. Those places are not about the food.
If you want good food at that end of the lake cough up the money and join Willow Point. The food is excellent (at least for now) the service is great, and the staff is friendly and accomidating. And I eat there 2-3 times a week. On Wednes day they have a twofer special and among other things you can get Filet Mignon and all of the trimmings for $20 and your significant other eats for free.
On Friday evenings they have a piano player and a vocalist. Both are excellent and have performed on Broadway.
Also if you have an even half fast boat, you can get to the Cove from anywhere on the lake in about 20 minutes. I don't know about all of the food there because the rare Ahi Tuna is so good I get it every time I go. It is about twenty bucks. I don't know about the folks that seem to own the place they seem rather sketch and some of their business decisions seem questionable, but I don't know them and don't know the hole story.
By the time you do that and then eat at Chucks, Niffers and Oscars on your junk food days, there is only one meal left that week and it always seems to be The Yellow Hammer.
BTW my Canadian Beaver stick won stick of the month last year at the hammer.

If you like eating on the deck try the COVE on Hwy 49 Blue Creek area.

Great info. What is the cost to join Willow Point? I can no longer play golf, do they have a social membership?

If your looking for a gret place for your self to eat, I really strongly suggest you try The Yellow Hammer in waverly. You won't regret it.

I would love to eat at The Cove, but where do you dock your boat? I recently drove my boat to the Blue Creek area, but noticed the bridge is too low to pass under. The only docks I saw looked like they were private property for condos. Any suggestions for dining at The Cove by boat would be greatly appreciated.
