The Boathouse

The Boathouse Restaurant sits on the tranquil shores of Lake Wallenpaupack in Hawley, Pennsylvania, offering a relaxed, vintage‑inspired dining experience that welcomes both boaters and drivers alike. Open daily from noon to nine p.m., the eatery serves classic American fare such as the Lake Wallenpaupack perch sandwich, a crisp fried perch fillet on a toasted bun with tartar sauce, as well as timeless cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, and hearty salads. Prices typically range from $15 for a sandwich up to $30 for specialty plates, making it a family‑friendly spot for lunch or dinner. The interior blends reclaimed wood, nautical rope accents, and soft lighting to evoke a cozy dockside lounge, while an expansive outdoor patio provides uninterrupted lake views and a gentle breeze. During the summer months, a stage hosts live music ranging from local rock bands to acoustic singer‑songwriters, creating a vibrant atmosphere that complements the clinking of glasses and the scent of grilled fare. Guests can enjoy a selection of craft beers, regional wines, and classic cocktails such as the “Lake Breeze” gin‑based drink, all served by attentive staff who know the menu by heart. The Boathouse also offers catering for weddings and private events, drawing on its waterfront setting and flexible menu options. Parking is available on the adjacent lot, and a dock allows boat‑riders to tie up and walk directly to the restaurant. Whether you’re seeking a casual lunch after a morning paddle or an evening bite with live tunes, The Boathouse delivers dependable, tasty meals in a setting that celebrates the natural beauty of the Poconos.
