Restaurant on the banks of the Colorado River, calm and quiet. The very friendly owner is very knowledgeable and contributes to the good atmosphere of the service. Copious menu, cool facing the bay window, I recommend this establishment. THANKS.

Parking: Direct parking when arriving in front of the entrance

Great place to stop on a 45 degree day! Needles sit in the Mojave desert ? with the Colorado River runs through it, crystal clear and icy cold. The airconditioned cafe has a 180 degree view of the river. We shared the best massive pizza. The river makes up California's and Arizona's border. So we sat on the California side gazing over this amazing river at Arizona...a once in a lifetime "must" experience??

We had a terrible experience here. Walked in the doors at 6 pm. We didn't get our food until just after 7:30, but they forgot my 4 year olds food. At that point, I just paid, once I could get someone to ring me up, and we left finally at 7:45. It was so ridiculous! Friends of staff/ regulars at the bar were constantly yelling and whisting really loud the whole time. My 17 yr old had to go get ear plugs from our car while they made my 4 year old cry several times throughout the experience. No one seemed to care that we had been forgotten, even though we were at the first table up front. Other tables came, got their food, and had left, and we still didn't have our food yet. No apologies, still charged full price for everything we ordered, I had to go to great lengths just to get any interactions with the staff the whole time. Noticed they were giving another table there the same treatment, so I'm not sure what we did, but it was really dumb. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious food, fun and pleasant staff, great river views. The pizza and the beef dips are great.

Parking: The restaurant is inside Rainbow Beach, so the weekends during summer get crowded.

$18 for two Jack and Cokes! The strip bars don't charge that much! Just a river bar with a nice view. Used to stop here every month, will not be back again.

Our friends brought us to this great little spot for lunch. The view of the river is spectacular. The food was really good (pizzas, sandwiches, burgers). The servers are very friendly and attentive. There is a full bar. We will definitely go again and bring friends to share this great find with others.

Pretty tacky and didn't smell good. Bartender allows fowl language. So obviouslyvthe owner was away. Didnt stay and eat... it didn't feel right. Sorry business owner - stellar restaurants and good help are hard to find. Leave the kids on the boat if you go
