Lazy Joe’s

This place really shines. Located in the middle of nowhere really, no restaurants, and just a boat ramp within a mile of here, it’s a destination — but a worthwhile one.
We tried the queso dip, wings, and burger. The burger is outstanding. Queso dip, addicting, and the wings, definitely fresh and the sauce is tasty. I found the hot to be not as ‘hot’ as one might think but definitely full of flavor. The fries. This was the only let down — they were soggy. :(they do have home made potato chips and I wish I had tried these. To the credit of Lazy Joes, I did not ask for a replacement on the fries as we were already full, so I am not going to dock a star for this.
The décor is an old house, made up of a few different rooms, a couple different bars you can sit at, a porch/​dining room, and a porch that’s more like your grandpa’s front porch style of sitting with checkers, couple of bar stools and some lounder chairs — not sure if they serve out there in the summer but it’s a nice place to hang.
The owner himself came to check up on us over the course of the meal. I like it when the owner is engaged in his business, it tells of an effort to exceed and usually means more consistency in everything.
Yes, it’s sort of lake accessible. There is no dock, but you could beach your boat and take a short walk through the woods or beach your boat near the boat ramp area if you wanted to send someone to get some food. I’ll write more if I ever try this — I’m sure we will in the summer.

You will never taste a better Chicken or Steak Philly Cheese Sandwich, Hamburger or fresh cut french fries. Great friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices, and yummy food.

Best burger in Hartwell! Get the Parmesan Fries! Great dive outside, nice cabin feel inside. Lakefront restaurant with dock. $ 2 for a 16oz beer. Need I say more. Awesome joint. Keep it up!
