Happy Sunday! Here at Ryan's Pier, my daughter and I enjoyed our first time here for lunch. Weather was beautiful with all the shine sun on this gorgeous Sunday. Topping at 89 degrees with a little breeze, it felt wonderful. A cute little lake view with a park for the kiddos. It was a decent place for any day outing. Just a nice view and something for everyone to enjoy their afternoon.
Ryan's Pier had plenty of seating inside and out. A full bar with plenty of options. I ordered a margarita nothing too fancy but still really good. Menu was simple with burgers, wraps, quesadillas and a kiddos menu. A typical bar menu. Except Ryan's Pier was a total hit, and our new lunch time outing! Everything was really good! We ordered the kids cheese quesadilla, chicken wrap with onion petals and some homemade crab cakes. Everything was really delicious for our lunchtime and very much appeasing. Our entrees came out hot and ready! Didn't take no time!
Our waitress and the staff were terrific! Nice smiles with great hospitality. The women were patient and pretty much laid back. Good service, nice view and great company is always a great time! Always my motto! Check em out!
