Got there at 6:30 and the patio was already packed but it’s definitely nice view out there. Decent selection of brews and the service was good. The food was about average.

Really do enjoy going here. Even on pint night and trivia night, it doesn’t seem to overcrowded. What really draws me in here is obviously the beer selection. They have the largest, and usually best beers on draft (and in bottles) in town. However, bottle prices are pricey as well as some drafts. This is to be expected, but still, I’ve seen better prices elsewhere. Other than that, this is my go-to location for my beer fix. The patio and large bar are a plus.

I actually like the location here a bit better than the Addison one. It feels newer, and also has a great patio. No smoking is a huge plus. Service is really attentive, but sometimes the knowledge here is lacking. I’ve been served the wrong beer on more than one occasion, but it’s also been corrected when I asked. I haven’t eaten here, but I assume it’s quite good just like the other Saucer locations. Value for draft beers is pretty good, but bottles tend to be a bit overpriced. I like this location and recommend it for a combination of great beer drinking with a nice patio atmosphere!

Great place-love how its right on the shore of a very scenic lake. easy to get to and some great beers. very big place-can sit alot of people. have daily specials and seem to rotate through their taps pretty quickly. If the beer is in TX, it will be at this bar. I definatley enjoyed this place.

Great looking draft house - dark woods on the inside and a huge patio overlooking the lake on the outside. Service was only decent (although it was very busy). Best beer selection I have ever seen - hundreds of beers available, and thanks to beer flights you can try many! Solid bar food and vegetarian options noted. Beers were rather expensive, but there are many specials available.

Not quite as good as the Houston location in most aspects but gets bonus points for the lake view. Still a solid place where the beer geek can get enough great brews to make it worth a stop. I’ve only been once & don’t know how representative of the norm my experience was, but the service was mediocre at best ...mainly due to one bartender guy. Might have been an exception but I have no one to confirm that.

Gotta love a place directly on the lake, so this one gets immediate points for location. Selection is on par with the Ft Worth location and generally better than the Addison one. I had a great time last year at their Summer Beer Fest and got to try lots of beers. The service hasn’t wowed me during any of my visits. Food is lacking.

Great location right on the lake and next to Bass Pro Shops. When the weather is nice, have a pint on the outside covered patio overlooking Lake Ray Hubbard. The selection is about like the other Flying Saucers, but the limited beers seem to stay on tap a little bit longer at this location. Decent food, but nothing to write home about. If you like other Flying Saucer locations, you will like this one.

Visited a couple of months after they opened this location. I am used to Flying Saucer Houston. I assumed this would be at least as great. Umm, not even close. What a joke. Located in Suburbia, the staff and servers have no clue about what they serve or what strong ranked brews they can offer, or what they taste like. The selection was a joke compared to Houston. What we did get wasn’t even fresh. And how do you screw up a Turkey Reuben sandwich??? The same thing I get at the Houston Saucer all the time. I barely ate half due to gristle. The servers we had were dumb and vacuous with no knowledge of good beer, and slow to boot. I held my head in shame because I had brought a guest there after talking up the great service and selection of the Saucer. Not this one. A joke. An embarrassment actually. I will not visit again. Come to Houston to learn how to train your servers and what customer service means.
