Bone Island Grillhouse® opened in 2008 on Lake Sinclair in Eatonton, Georgia. It was started in response to lake residents wanting a place on the lake to enjoy a good meal with great service and a wonderful view. The owner purchased a marina at auction and remodeled the small 50 year old fish camp restaurant. From this modest beginning, the concept was born. The idea was to offer menu items made from scratch that are popular in Key West, New Orleans and Savannah along with traditional favorites such as steaks, sandwiches and pastas.
In 2011, by what could only be called the “answer to prayers”, three siblings, Kara Fuller, Ryan Winfield and Jody Winfield joined the team. They brought vast experience and vision to the restaurant. Being coined the B.I.G. by our Lake Sinclair guests, the siblings took that acronym and branded it. It was determined that the location would need better accessibility in order to sustain the demands of a scratch kitchen. The decision was made to move to a new location on Lake Oconee. At that time, some favorite family recipes were added to the menu. One of the most popular is our house salad dressing recipe that was created by the mother of the siblings. That dressing is our famous Grillhouse Brand Vinaigrette. We are proud to say we are a locally owned and family run business. We source many of our products from local vendors. Eat Local = Support Local!
In March of 2020, the sibling trio took over full ownership of the brand. Our goal to be the preferred restaurant to both our guests and our team members has not changed. We strive for excellence through Purpose, Passion and Pride. We are proud to continue to be owned and run by family, building relationships with amazing guests that become friends we are proud to call part of the family. Go B.I.G. or Stay Home®
