    Shrimp sandwich and chicken nachos were the best. They treat kids so nicely here and even include a little treat with their dinner. A nice beer selection too (34 options)!

    This place is awesome! The outdoor patio area is nice and covered, plus there is a part that’s open with trees to give shade from the sun. The food was delicious and their selection of beers is outstanding. I will definitely be coming back again.

    Always a great experience! Love the food and the people! We come here every Wednesday for music bingo. Unfortunately there was a rude costumer tonight who took it upon himself to cut the speaker down. When the DJ asked him not to touch his equipment, the customer dropped the fbomb and flipped him off. Lots of people come here for music bingo.

    The best wings in town highly recommend getting the Jim Beam sauce, extra crispy wings! My bacon cheeseburger was extremely flavorful- and so were the french fries! .. I recommend getting the honey mustard dipping sauce :) Great food and great service- bartender was very friendly! See you guys soon!

    I love this place! The food is always fantastic and the staff is just wonderful. We have been celebrated everything from special occasions to everyday lack-of-ambition-to-cook nights here for so many years, and BLDH never disappoints! They also are so very supportive of the community. Just an all-around amazing business!

    Good bar food with some surprises. The pork belly tacos are my favorite. This afternoon we sat on the covered patio with our dogs and enjoyed a cold beverage and a plate of chicken bites with korean style bbq sauce. Lovely and crunchy with just a touch of heat. The service was great, but let the staff know if you're going to sit on the patio to avoid waiting for service. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the tired looking interior. We've been coming here for almost 20 years and the decor has hardly changed.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Took FOREVER for the food to come and it was cold and not good. The waitresses never came up to give us refills or ask us how food was. They also were very rude, I’ve never had more rude waitresses in my life. There wasn’t many tables there and there was no excuse for them to not wait on us and do their job. We had to ask for check and it took 30 minutes for it, they kept looking at us as they walked back and forth but never brought us the check. I will NEVER step foot back into this restaurant and I will make sure everyone I know, also knows how horrible this place is.

    Beer was warm.. server had to ask what beer (2) of us ordered multiple times before getting it to us. Requested a local college game to be turned on.. which offended the bartender to which she stated for all to hear “its the last time the channels change”… sharable’s were great, but having to beg for a warm refill just is not how I needed to spend money on college football day.

    I loved this place. The only bad thing I would say is that they have so many good choices it's hard to pick one! The burger I got was great and paired with sweet potato fries and their honey mustard/siracha sauce I'm drooling just thinking about it.

    Food is really good, especially the meatloaf and okra👍

  • 5/5 Jerod J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great selection of beers, delicious burgers, wings, and salads!

  • 4/5 Andy F. 4 years ago on Google
    Large selection of food options. Everything from fish and chips to ghost pepper cheese burgers. Beer selection is decent as well. Downside is it gets pretty loud in the dining area, even with it being a 1/4 full. The wait staff is very friendly and made good food suggestions.

  • 3/5 Valerie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was slow and the food was average but definitely not good. It is the third time in a year we have given it a try. Disappointing.

  • 5/5 Richard S. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food & great selection of beers and a great atmosphere a fun place to go for dinner

  • 1/5 Laurie B. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was terrible as well as the service! We ordered 3 appetizers and the chicken salad sandwiche and a burger. None of us, party of 4, liked any of the food.

  • 4/5 Michael E. 4 years ago on Google
    Good stuff. You won't leave hungry

  • 4/5 Anna F. 4 years ago on Google
    I had hamburger sliders & they were delicious! The macaroni salad also was very good. Service was good, and server was very attentive! Would definitely go back!!

  • 5/5 Danielle V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and Liz was fantastic. The kids meal was more than enough food and well seasoned which can be overlooked by many places. Not here. We will be back!

  • 4/5 Lori H. 1 year ago on Google
    A friend recommended this place. We stopped in on a Wed night around 9. When we walked in, the music was soooo loud and there were kids all over the lobby, bumping into us and interrupting the hostess. We were offered inside or outside seating. We chose outside because of the music and kids. Our waitress was very nice. Suggested the pork belly tacos ans tater tots. I got the tacos ans waffle sweet potato fries. My husband got the special patty melt and loaded tots. That food did not disappoint!! The pork belly was perfect and the heat from the cole slaw paired so good with the bbq sauce. The waffle fries were amazing! I shared the patty melt and it was so freaking juicy and the flavor was delicious. Def recommend the food but the noise and rowdy kids was a little much.

    Great food, wide range of beer selections. Waitstaff seemed happy and energetic and really nice vibes inside. I’m pleased with my first time there and would say it’s a great place to have dinner with the family or go have an evening drink.

  • 4/5 Tom C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, although portions have gotten smaller. Quick to be seated but sometimes takes a while to get your food. Interior is okay but could use updating. Still one of our favorite spots.

  • 5/5 Andrew H. 1 year ago on Google
    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants in HS! The atmosphere is great and there is a side with a bar and lots of tvs to hangout and watch sports. Pickle chips are a must try!

  • 3/5 Erin B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a review for take out and dine in. My sister recently dined in here (got me take out) and she mentioned the service was extremely slow. She is a waitress so she can understand to a certain point. Her waitress seemed distracted by other people she was attending to at the bar. As if her table was an inconvenience to her. Long story short everyone got their lunch an hour after it was ordered, all coming out at different times. She ordered take out and even that came out before one of her friends meals who was sitting at the table. Waitress was short with my sister and the table. My buffalo salad however was delicious. The candied pecans were a compliment to the lunch. Large portion of buffalo wings. I enjoyed my meal. Hopefully service is better next time!

    I've been to Bass Lake Draft House many times over the 12 years that I've lived in the area. I keep going back because it's a top notch dining establishment. I've never had a bad dining experience there. The food, service, and atmosphere are all outstanding. All the food is great, but their burgers are the best around.

  • 5/5 Harlan S. 9 months ago on Google
    Above average Draft House, plus they have fried okra as a side dish. Tuesday night appears to be trivia night and folks were having a good time with a great MC. Service was very good. The waitress was pleasant and checked back at just the right times. There are daily drink specials from a well-stocked bar and lengthy beer list. Nice place to relax and enjoy the A/C. Nice to be out!

  • 4/5 Justin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Now that’s a tasty burger. The wait staff, bar, needs some help. It’s not so hard to say your welcome. But the ‘57 burger is off the chain. Get extra napkins. Well done kitchen.

  • 3/5 Ross W. 9 months ago on Google
    The staff here are made up of some of the best people you’ll ever meet. The food though is really bad and what they do well is inconsistent at best. We’ve been regulars for years and tonight my family all left our dishes pretty much full before leaving. Great people only go so far when you’re hungry. We’ll go for drinks but not anymore for food.

    I was really kind of disappointed with this place. I had been wanting to stop in for some time. The very first thing I noticed when we walked in the door was the overwhelming smell of old stale beer. Not sure if they had a keg leak or what but the whole bar smelled like they hadn't cleaned up a spill. The menu seemed to have a good variety but it all kind of tasted the same. I think the fryer grease needs changed. There is a lot of potential. They have a lot of tv's and it seems like it will be fun to watch sports. I will give it another chance some day and update my review.

  • 4/5 Jordan L. 11 months ago on Google
    Decent drafthouse with good bar staple foods. Service left something to be desired, but certainly wasn’t terrible. Pretty good variety of beers to choose from. Overall I’d suggest coming here for a meal or a brewski.

    As a New Yorker coming down to North Carolina to visit folks and some R&R, it's great to come to Bass Lake Draft watch My "AFC" NY Jets Beat the Weak NFC division Philly Eagles. But my post is to recommend the NEVER FROZEN BURGERS here! Me and my son have been to many spots, But it's Hands Down BEST BURGER IN HOLLY SPRINGS, Could be but can't say the State of North Carolina but they're up for the challenge!! Thank you JENN, Be back soon..

  • 3/5 Heather H. 6 months ago on Google
    Server was a nice kid, food was ok, the restaurant was dirty, food from previous customers was still on the floor at several tables and could have easily been cleaned up but was ignored. Music from the bar area was good music but too loud to even talk to one another in the dining room.

  • 2/5 Taylor H. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is 10/10 but the service is awful. We went for dinner and they are operating at half capacity but the restaurant was not full at all. There were maybe 4 other families there when we were first seated, but it took 13 minutes for a waiter to come to the table to take our drink order. The host told us their menu was online which was fine but when we started looking at it, half of the descriptions were cut off so we asked for a physical menu. Never got it. Finally they took our order and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious! I asked for a side of ranch when the food was first brought to our table. Never got that either. About half way through our meal we both finished our drinks (2 waters and a sweet tea) and never got refills. There was nobody around to even ask for a refill because everyone was in the back instead of walking around checking on their tables. Then, when we finished our food it took almost 20 minutes for our waitress to check on us again. I asked for a box and she brought it back right away but didn't bring the check so we were just sitting there with dirty plates for another 15 minutes before she finally brought it over. They weren't busy so I just don't understand why it took so incredibly long to get everything and everyone was very forgetful of what we asked for.

    Today was our first time ever ordering from here. I must say from placing the order to pick up the customer service was top notch. Now on to the food.... holy smokes! Not only are the portions large for the cost, but the food taste amazing!!!!! I highly recommend this place. Thank you for a positive & pleasant first experience. My family & I, look forward to many more.

  • 5/5 Justin M. 3 years ago on Google
    Some of the best bar food and friendly staff in the area. A true local bar. Also kid and family friendly.

  • 3/5 Clinton K. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent service! The staff was extremely nice, genuine, and prompt. The food was subpar and I wouldn't go back.

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service! They are also really doing the protective measures for inside dining well! We had a wonderful dinner out for the first time since we locked down in March!

  • 5/5 Carolyn C. 3 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed a relaxing burgers and beers dinner for our 33rd anniversary. All coronavirus precautions were being adhered to and we felt safe eating there.

  • 5/5 Jessie B. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I love this place because of the people. KJ and Michelle are like family to us. The service is beyond amazing and the beer selection is great. It’s our go-to place in the area for a date lunch on our days off.

  • 5/5 Kency B. 3 years ago on Google
    So so so good. I wish I remembered our servers name cause she killed it. Great tacos great beer.

  • 4/5 Jim M. 3 years ago on Google
    Ate here during phase II reopening. Staff was practicing safe distance and servers wore masks. Ate outside and felt comfortable.

  • 5/5 Eric B. 3 years ago on Google
    The Tomato cucumber salad with Feta was outrageously good

  • 2/5 Tori P. 3 years ago on Google
    Food wasn't good, meat as dry, potatoes extra dry, cold broccoli. Service wasn't great. I had high hopes for a pub food.

  • 5/5 crazy867 3 years ago on Google
    Always enjoy going here for dinner. I usually arrive early and during the week to avoid the crowds; but I never have had a bad time here. Food is great and highly recommend the blue moon burger, pickle chips, and the wings.

  • 3/5 Amy A. 3 years ago on Google
    Great selection of draft beer. Too bad they don't seem to want to give you any samples so you can pick a great brew.

  • 5/5 Heidi J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and great 80s hair music

  • 5/5 David J. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cristie B. 3 years ago on Google
    Bass has great servers, great people running it and just good food. It's no wonder why they have a steady stream of regulars.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and good music. I'm not quite sure why more people aren't going to Bass Lake for Brunch? I was the only one seated on the dining room side. I have been going here for over 15 years and they have great food. Go for brunch Saturday and Sunday at 9am. You won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Donna F. 3 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for a late lunch. Great food and service. Both my husband and I had the Steak Affair salad that was extremely filling and provided us just what we needed to hit the greenway on our bikes. Life is good!

  • 5/5 Joseph N. 3 years ago on Google
    I've ordered takeout from Bass Lake Draft house several times recently. The food is always spot on and their menu options are incredible--though, admittedly I am addicted to the buffalo chicken sliders and often focus on those! Prior to Covid-19 I went in a few times and always received good service and good food. No complaints so far!

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 3 years ago on Google
    Service is wonderful. Food is great.

  • 5/5 Ed M. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered the special today, Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac 'N Cheese. I was not disappointed. Chicken was cooked to perfection and the overall flavor was phenomenal. I hope this becomes a signature dish on the menu. I had to change up my re regular IPA to Brew Dog Elvis Juice. A nice substitution that was very smooth going down. And hey, Elvis! And as always, the services was top notch.

  • 5/5 Felicia S. 3 years ago on Google
    Kristen is the best server ever!

  • 1/5 Th B. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the first restaurant that I went to since Phase 2 where none of the employees (that I saw) were wearing face coverings. Come on, know your Ws! When you take orders or deliver foot you are within 6ft. Do the right thing and have all employees wear a mask!

  • 5/5 Matthew S. 3 years ago on Google
    Oh my God that Mahi taco was the best I've ever had!!

  • 5/5 Robert C. 3 years ago on Google

    Loud as heck music. Slow service. Food was just OK.

  • 4/5 John B. 4 years ago on Google
    Local feel. Decent menu. Alternative to all the chain restaurants popping up in Holly Springs.

  • 5/5 Brooke I. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has a great selection for people trying to eat gluten free. They have a separate fryer for any of their side items (fries, tater tots, etc). They have a pretty good gluten free bun. Many of their dressings are gf, but I know their ranch and blue cheese dressings are not. Burgers have always been cooked nicely, the fries are deliciously crispy on the outside, soft and potato-y on the inside. Wait staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, especially concerning gf information.
