About

In 1952, when the Army Corps of Engineers began construction on the Belton Dam, a man named Frank Smith saw an opportunity to serve the workers building what would become one of Central Texas’ landmarks. What started as Frank cooking meals for those dam workers soon grew into something bigger—by 1954, he opened Frank’s Lakeview Inn, a restaurant perched on the shores of Lake Belton. From its very beginning, it became the go-to gathering place in Central Texas for life’s most meaningful moments—graduations, after-prom dinners, first dates, anniversaries, and everything in between.
