Dear Friends, Family, and the Wonderful Community of Eagle Mountain Lake,
With a heart full of gratitude and a touch of bittersweet emotion, I’m writing to share that Sammy’s on the Lake will be closing its doors.
Since opening in 2019, we’ve had the honor of serving more than just great food and lakeside views—we’ve had the privilege of building a community. What started as a dream quickly turned into a place where strangers became regulars, and regulars became friends who feel like family. Every laugh shared across a table, every celebration, every quiet moment watching the water together—it all means more to us than words can express.
To our incredible customers: Thank you for showing up, through every season and every storm. You supported us during the hardest times, especially through the uncertainties of COVID-19 and the long, cold winter months that would have closed many other doors. Your loyalty, your warmth, your presence—it’s what kept us going.
To the musicians who sang, played, and entertained us—thank you for filling our space with music, energy, and soul. Your talent brought our patio to life, set the tone for countless memories, and made Sammy’s more than a restaurant—it made it a place to gather, dance, and celebrate. We are so grateful for every note and every night you spent with us.
To the staff who’ve been part of this journey: You are the heart and soul of Sammy’s. Every dish, every smile, every late night—we did it all together. We love you all deeply, and we are endlessly proud of the work we did and the family we built.
And to the marina owners and staff—thank you for your unwavering support and partnership over the years. You welcomed us, and helped make this little spot by the water a true home.
Although this chapter is closing, we are choosing to end it with a grateful and joyful heart. Sammy’s on the Lake was more than a restaurant—it was a shared dream lived out with the best people we could have asked for. And now, as we pass the torch to a new owner, The Anchor on Eagle Mountain Lake ! we hope you’ll join us in welcoming them with the same warmth and support you gave us. We are excited to see what the future brings for this beautiful place we’ve all come to love.
Thank you, from the bottom of our heart’s for every memory.
With love and gratitude,
The Molina Family 💜
