18 Best American Restaurants near Okoboji

“The best customer service!! The friendliest group!!! Great food!! Fun bartenders!! The old customer service that seems to be forgotten these days!!“

“Fantastic Food and great service every time I visit. An amazing atmosphere that lets you relax, and on sunny days it gives you the greatest view of the lake with only a turn of your head.“

“The most delicious chocolate chip pancakes in the area! I’m sure the blueberry and the plain are just as delicious! ❤️“

“We really liked the large selection of food! The atmosphere was nice and welcoming. We were only there for dinner, but we could imagine it being a fun sports bar. The service was top notch, and the food was pretty good. I had the filet steak tips with a dinner salad, broccoli, and twice baked potato. The salad was only lettuce, onion, and green pepper. It's disappointing to me because I don't care for onions or green pepper. That left me only with lettuce. The upside is that at least it was not iceberg. The steak tips were cooked perfectly, and the sauce that came with it was amazing! The twice baked potato was rather bland. Broccoli cooked perfectly! We will be going back to try more.“

“A great place to grab a quick bite and enjoy the lake. The young man working patiently endured my sister's myriad menu questions. He was very polite and knowledgeable. The food was fine and hit the spot as we enjoyed the view. We were even treated to a guest appearance of a bald eagle!!! How cool is that!“

“Great place to join the locals for a bite to eat. The portions are generous and one of the most affordable in town. My daughter wanted a pork tenderloin while visiting from out of state. Her bigger-than-the-bun tenderloin made her happy. Her hubby enjoyed a brisket sandwich, and my hubby and I had the Philly and Reuban. All delicious. Your server will be assisting a full house and gets down to business.“

“Anniversary dinner for us. The food was over the top amazing. (Baked shrimp appetizer, scallops, mushroom ravioli, pork shank, asparagus, cheesy grits, green beans, bread service, and two different desserts to go) Only thing…. I ordered a tiramisu to go, and tried it before leaving. The tiramisu was dry- as though it didn’t get much espresso soaked into it. I wonder if it was just a fluke because the rest of the food here was so stellar. Beautiful presentation on the tiramisu, and the whipped cream served with it was divine. If you’re looking to go somewhere to celebrate with some amazing food… Go here. Pricy, but you get what you pay for. We eat out a LOT. The quality, taste and presentation of the food was top notch. The service….. I’m not saying it was not good, it WAS good. But not stellar. With the caliber of the food and the price, I would expect the service to match. Overall, I would definitely go there again for a special occasion because you can’t find find food this well prepared too many places.“

“Definitely the best atmosphere and the most attentive and friendly staff in the lakes area. Always a fantastic vibe for the mature crowd, live music, great food, bartenders always on point!! Congrats on 7 years! Well deserved! 😎🤙🏼“

“Very nice resort. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Our condo was older but very nice and clean. Grounds are great, a lot things to do right at the resort. Outdoor pools were clean and nice. The areas around Okiboji were alot of fun. Overall a great experience. Would definately go back.“

“We had an unbelievable amazing meal tonight! We always do throughout the year but the food was to die for. Amazing chopped salad with steak tips, great cheese burger cooked perfectly, egg rolls that were nothing like typical egg rolls & of course the classic white cheese balls. Service was so friendly & prompt. Great cold beer & amazing Paloma. The Ritz is a staple in our family but tonight was over the top!“
