Lakefront Dining and Community Vibes
Proudly serving the community for over 50 years, Horseshoe Bar & Grill has long been a beloved gathering place for generations of locals and visitors alike. Originally opened as Ouida’s Horseshoe Tavern, this iconic spot on the shores of scenic Horseshoe Lake in Alexander County has remained locally owned and operated since day one.
Since taking ownership on January 2, 2017, we’ve continued the legacy with a fresh, family-friendly atmosphere where great food and warm hospitality come standard. We're known for our juicy, hand-patted burgers and made-to-order pizzas that keep our guests coming back for more—you definitely won’t leave hungry!
Whether you choose to dine inside or enjoy your meal outdoors at one of our lakeside picnic tables, we promise a memorable experience with a view.
Come hungry, leave happy—see you soon at Horseshoe Bar & Grill!

We’ve had the pleasure of hosting some great live bands during special events, adding a fun, music-filled touch to the atmosphere. These are just a few of the talented groups we’ve worked with in the past:
