That was exactly our summary, but have to admit we don't go every month like some devotees. It's a nice alternative to driving all the way to the coast, kind of gives that ocean side dining feel, but yes, very average to low average quality food, a lot of variations in the staff's (training ?) behaviors, friendliness, etc, a real "hit and miss" place, you never know, but being realistic, they do a brisk business, always have, and it works for them !

I love Eaton's Beach. I realize they get busy so I either go early or I call ahead. I think their food is very good. The Washday Special and 3c's Mac and Cheese are amazing.
If it wasn't such a long drive I would go there more often. To me, it beats all the Country Clubs (except Lopez and Havana). |

Scott, the upstairs bartender is the best in the area!

I still can not figure out the difference between a "reservation" and "call ahead seating".

With call ahead, they know you're coming. And it's not really a reservation; there's no guaranteed seating time. You just get a spot in line, and hopefully by the time you get there, a table will have opened up for you.

Went to Eaton’s beach restaurant 3 weeks ago, arrived about 4:30 and we were seated immediately. There were five of us. It was our first time in over a year. Food/service was good and the atmosphere great. May go again before we go north for this summer. It’s different from any place in TV.

With Call ahead typically that means you are put on the waiting list just as if you walked in the door. A reservation as we all know means they intend to seat you near the time that you requested. The OP has a legitimate complaint. They should give you an estimated wait time that is ALWAYS conservatively estimated so that actual wait time will be less. Thank you for giving others a heads up. It is already a long drive for most. The negative responses were quite unfair and WRONG. Last edited by ithos; 04-07-2021 at 07:54 PM. |

So downfall is long drive, how long is it? To get to a restaurant that meal doesn’t come in a bag takes us 45 minutes.
We are so used to call ahead, not only does it put you on the list as if you were there in person. It gives the restaurant a chance to move people up if the call ahead is later than expected.

We are lucky to have a sandy lakeside beach with decent restaurant so close.

Yes. Some places in France the wait is two months.
