Hazel's — Restaurant in Fontana Dam

Night 1 - All you can eat crab legs. The right butter, 7-8 out of 10 crab legs (cooked a little too long but I understand that is tough on an all you can eat night), great service and in general just had a great night. Their version of Cheddar Bay biscuits had a nice spice... very nice. Smoked tomato soup.... wow... something far past my happy scale, so impressed. Hickory smoked flavor with a sweetness I couldn't quite identify until speaking to the chef. Night 2 - Valentines special. Of course... I had the smoked tomato soup again and again it was phenomenal... perhaps even worth the drive of an hour just for the soup. Filet, potatoes, reduction, spinach etc.... all tender and tasty. Palate cleansing sorbet break... nope, never again... please get rid of it. We watched another group of 4 also have looks of disgust. There are other options for palate cleansing that need to be substituted. As a final, the creme brulee...nice.... Overall, I would definitely like to visit again. Price is on point with quality and had good service so hats...

If you like an over a hour wait for a pancakes and like hair in every one of them then this is the place for you. The staff said a groups of 12 wasn't allowed due to state mandates, but had a table of 11 seated at the same time, if you're gonna break the rules for one break it for all. We unfortunately had to eat two meals there riding out a storm and both times hair in the food, crazy long wait times, and simply ok food. Definitely not worth the money and when asked about why the service and quality was so bad the answer we were given, "It's our off season." Definitely not an acceptable excuse...

Food and chef is incredible! For dinner that is. Breakfast buffet not good for price. Both male servers were very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. Wife had ahi tuna cooked perfectly two nights in a row. Burger very good, but pasta primavera was probably one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Slightly smokey sauce knocked my socks off. Great food at more than reasonable prices. You won't regret eating here, in fact you'll be pleasantly...
