4 /5 Chuck Kay: I am a native of Hartwell, and hard to believe, my FIRST time at Boathouse Grill. I will be back! Was there with family. It is not easy to see the signs that take you around several of the boat storage buildings. Parking is good. Great little restaurant on the shore of Lake Hartwell. The food was excellent!! I highly recommend. We had "peel and eat shrimp", fried shrimp, fried grouper; salad w/ blackened Mahi; delicious hush puppies, onion rings, chicken fingers, etc... Our waitiress was excellent, friendly, attentive. Atmosphere is exellent with a "water/beach" type theme. Very clean. I give it about 4.5 stars. As a reviewer, it is hard for me to give 5 stars. :-) Give them a try if you are in Hartwell! You will enjoy it!
