Taco Tuesday at the Lake kicks off May 7 at Stonewall Resort

Weston, WV – Beginning Tuesday, May 7 and continuing each Tuesday through the end of October, Stonewall Resort will host Taco Tuesdays at the Lake, where both day guests and overnight guests can enjoy a decadent Mexican dinner buffet in Stillwaters Restaurant and a leisurely and scenic boat cruise around the lake.

“Among other things, Stonewall Resort is known for our amazing lakeside scenery and our culinary program,” said Andre’ D’Amour, general manager at Stonewall Resort. “With the ‘launch’ of Taco Tuesdays, guests can experience the best of both worlds.”

The Taco Tuesday dinner buffet will be available in Stillwaters Restaurant on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Guests will receive one meal ticket and two drink tickets per person. The menu includes unique taco fillings, like Mesquite smoked beef brisket, chili rubbed pork shoulder, citrus glazed baby back pork ribs, baked Cod with fresh lime butter, as well as a host of sides and desserts. 

Guests can enjoy both indoor and outdoor patio dining options, lakeside. Drink tickets can be redeemed in Stillwaters, TJ Muskies Bar & Grill or during your boat cruise.

Little Sorrel, the resort’s 100-passenger lake excursion boat, will depart from the resort Lodge at 6 p.m. for an approximately one-hour cruise. Guests may choose to dine before or after the lake tour.

The cost to participate is $45 per adult and includes the dinner buffet, two drinks and the evening boat cruise. The cost for children is $22.50, which includes the dinner buffet, a beverage, and boat cruise.

Due to limited seating on Little Sorrel, Taco Tuesday reservations must be made in advance. Please call 304-269-8880 to make your reservation.
