About Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar

Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar offers a unique dining experience by the water, with stunning views that create a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant is themed with Sea Plane nostalgia, with multiple dining rooms and outdoor seating available, though the day of visit was too hot for outdoor dining. Guests can enjoy the best lobster bisque in years, topped with cream and Sherry, and must-try dishes like the Pitadilla, filled with tender chicken and cheese, served in pita bread. The menu features gluten-free options such as buns and potato fries sprinkled with rice flour. The venue is perfect for private events, with a professional and caring team led by the owner, ensuring a smooth and memorable experience. Visitors appreciated the excellent food selection catering to various tastes, with standout dishes like high flying onion rings, Mahi Bites resembling chicken tenders and served with lots of food, and the juicy Ye Olde Black & Blue burger. The fries are seasoned with a nice flavor change from traditional fries. The area around the restaurant offers a slower beach vibe, with other nearby restaurants and a lovely park for exploration. The service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff making efforts despite a busy holiday crowd. The atmosphere is cozy, and guests can watch the sea planes take off and land, adding to the charm of this lakeside spot. Some visitors noted flies around the building, but overall, the experience remains enjoyable. The restaurant’s quality food, beautiful views, and friendly service make it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal by the water.
