First time there was amazing food and service!

I could eat here every single day and not get tired of it, foods always amazing and for being right by the water and in the middle of the park, the prices are so reasonable. My favorite spot to eat at šŸ˜€

BEST BREADED AND POUNDED-OUT PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH IN SIOUXLAND. HUMONGOUS! GREAT QUALITY PORK. MY 30-YEAR SEARCH FOR A DECENT TENDERLOIN IN NW IOWA IS OVER, FINALLY!
My guests LOVED their sandwiches, too. GREAT PRICES. Coke on tap was excellent. Guests loved their drinks. Italian beef sandwich recommended as well.

My wife and I sat at a table, they were 1/2 full. We Ordered a cocktail and then food. They brought out my pork tenderloin and it looked like (and tasted) the soul of a shoe. I took two bites and I nicely told them it looked and tasted like the soul of a shoe and they took my order back and they took the money. We got up and left with no apology from their staff or anyone. No comp, no refund, nothing. Will Not go back or recommend. Oh, and it’s wthe same owners of both places.

Boardwalk is one of our Boji favorites…so we always take friends who are visiting to enjoy the lake views and a meal. Our last crew was from Boston and are Italian-Americans. They were so impressed with the Chicken Parm sandwich! They liked the uniqueness of how the sandwich is stacked and thought it was so warm and gooey! We also have tried your Saturday Breakfasts during our farmer’s market visits-and they are AMAZING too! Thank you Boardwalk for always providing good food via your awesome staff!

To be honest with you, I try to explore the menu of restaurants I have been to a number of different times, but apparently when I visit the Boji Boardwalk Bar & Grill, I seem to be on a fish and chips kick. These photos are taken 11 months apart and the only difference is yesterday I ordered it with sweet potato fries. However, I will say that the fish is very good. It's hand battered, very crispy, not overly breaded, the fish is fresh tasting and flaky. I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries this time around and for a dollar extra, I would say it's worth it. If I didn't mind making a mess of myself, I would DEFINITELY order their Italian beef or one of their gyros because they sound amazing. If I had an extra stomach or was splitting with someone, I might even opt for their pork tenderloin because it is HUGE. So, depending on your appetite and your willingness to get a little messy I would definitely recommend checking those out. The staff is very friendly and the overall atmosphere and vibe is relaxed. There are plenty of TVs to watch the game or take in the views out of their garage door that opens directly onto the Arnold's Park boardwalk and their outdoor seating where you can take in the views provided in the second picture. This is taken from my seat where I was having dinner. Talk about a perfect view or spot to grab a beer and people watch. In this strip of stores/restaurants, you are right in the heart of the action with the amusement park behind you, shops on either side of you, you're even in earshot of the outdoor concerts, and looking directly at where they shoot off fireworks every weekend in the summer. The prices are certainly affordable for the amount of food you're getting - especially for Okoboji. Cheers!

Parking: Parking is a little bit of a challenge in that it is not right in front of the venue. It is approximately a block away. There is a large parking lot that accommodates the entire amusement park. There is a cul-de-sac road that goes all the way down to the water and the pier where individuals can be dropped off, right near the restaurant. Handicap spaces are a little ways away and are near the Maritime Museum.

Wheelchair accessibility: The seating in the restaurant is a little tight, but everyone was very accommodating to make space so that I could get to my table/seat. I believe that all of the seating on the patio area are high tops so it may be difficult for those with mobility devices or an inability to get to taller seats.

The Italian beef is easily the best sandwich in Boji. Great fries too!

The food is great, but the place is too small to handle the tourist trap in the summer. You either get here really late, call ahead for takeout on the pier, or right when they open to snag any table.

Your average Okoboji tourist restaurant. Enjoy the view and remind yourself that you’re on ā€œBoji timeā€ now. The seasonal demands often stretch wait/cook staff capacity.

Sat at Nautical the better part of a September Saturday afternoon watching various games. Apparently, NBC blocked out the Notre Dame game so we had to watch that one on our phones. We started with bloody marys which were better than average but nothing to call your friends about. We had prompt service with a good attitude even when we asked our server to split the bill 4 ways. I had fish n chips which were fish bites instead of fingers. Good but not hand-battered. Fries were good - tasted like McDonald’s. Reasonably priced. Bathrooms clean and well-stocked. Great place to meet up with friends!
