[Dancing Queen]

Today we enjoyed warm welcomes, and a pleasant trip on a charming paddle wheeler, and a wait staff that rivals any 4 star restaurant. We never had to ask for any refills they were always there asking us, starting with bottomless Coffee, regular and sweet tea, ice water lemons, and sneaking in constant refills of half and half, as we neared one or two left in the bowl.
They arrived soon after with a buffet of appetizers of home made pecan sticky buns, sliced zucchini and yellow squash, carrots, and celery, with home made ranch dip, melba toast, and watermelon, pineapple, Crenshaw melon, cantaloupe, and red grapes before lunch.
All meals started with warm sweet rolls and real butter, with a Caesar salad,
I had the Salmon fillet with lemon butter, (or you could choose a teriyaki glaze), fresh green beans, and rice.
They also offered prime rib, chicken St. John, Veggie Lasagna, or a large plated salad with your choice of chicken, salmon or as a chef salad.
I did not have the desert, so unfortunately I cannot comment on that.
There was live music on the lower deck, and a dance floor on both decks.
A scenic trip and great food all for one price plus gratuity in Sanford Monroe Harbour Marina.
It is a family run business, and 90% family is there serving you. They are all warm genuine people.
It is truly delightful, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the review and information. Always looking for something different and a nice little trip outside TV's.

My friend and I are booked on a AAA-sponsored day trip for Thanksgiving Dinner aboard the Barbara Lee. Your review gives me encouragement that we were right in booking! We are used to T'giving aboard an ocean-going cruise ship, so this will be something of an adventure!

We were also there yesterday. Prime rib was excellent... a little thin but perfectly cooked. Wonderful staff, great family run business. Stopped by Trader Joes on the way home since it was only a 30 minute detour.
