Since there are not that many restaurants in the Smith Mountain area, this place will do, but I would not go out of my way to go back here.

This restaurant has great food and service. The pasta dishes and steaks are perfectly cooked and everyone from couples to family can enjoy this place. In a strip shop area off of Smith Mountain Lake it is easy to spot and easy drive from the lake. A lot of the restaurants on the lake are pricey and this place is... More

I love Johnathans. We go there everytime we visit Smith Mountain Lake. It's got a cute bar, and a wonderful buffet. The price for children is about 1/2 price ($6. I think), so thats a great value, especially for my "tweenies". It also has a good outdoor area where you can see beautiful sunset views.

Whether it's lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch, you can always count on Jonathan's to delivery great service and great food at a reasonable price. Tuesday night is 1/2 Price Burgers, also!

Try the lunch buffet. It has lots of variety, great taste and very reasonable price. Great balance of Asian & traditional American foods. Plus, lots of dessert choices.

The buffet is consistantly great, food replaced often so it is always hot and appetizing! On Sundays the buffet is terrific with an omelet and waffle bar!

Jonathans' has undergone almost yearly changes in management since it opened. The current incarnation is as a mix of American and Thai food. The Thai menu is by far the best (only) available around the lake. The patio has great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's reasonable and worth a visit.

Family friendly, and a nice bar area for adults-only. Noise level is not bad, even when crowded on 1/2 price burger nights (Tuesdays), but arrive before 6pm to ensure a quick seat as this is very popular with the locals at Smith Mountain Lake--even in the off season. Good variety buffet on weekends, with Chinese dishes a surprise specialty, and... More

We have been visiting Smith Mountain Lake each year for more than 20 years and were disappointed with the lack of really niced restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. We were pleased, therefore, that on our most recent visit we discovered Jonathan's, a family (Korean) restaurant offering an extensive menu in pleasant surroundings and at very resonable prices. Our... More

My wife & I moved to SML during the fall of 2011. Our first experience @ Jonathan's was about 6 months ago. We went during the evening. The decor has a modern feel to it. Our entrees were delicious. When we were leaving, we discovered that they serve a Sunday Brunch from 11:00a to 3:00p. It consists of plenty of... More
