The Barefoot Bar at Okoboji

Loved this bar. One of our favorites except this year CHICKENS! Please get rid of them. They don’t belong in a bar. Dogs have to be on a leash. Not everyone likes chickens. Will be back when they’re gone.

Drove from over an hour away. 3 employees trying to handle 200 people. They want your cash and dont care about anything else.

Great place to sit by the lake and have a few drinks.

Absolutely terrible food. “Nachos Grande” was a small salad on a paper plate with a few chips, no cheese, a spoonful of taco meat. For $16. Olivia was our server and she was great. Other than her, this place has really gone downhill. So sad because it’s a beautiful venue but clearly poor management.

The food was terrible. I paid $17 for a pizza but it turns out was just Totinos. There were tiny chickens everywhere but parents were letting their children chase them everywhere wreaking havoc. And on top of that bartenders were letting people cut in line literally left and right.

I texted them several years ago and told them the Bar was going down hill. The playground equipment was broken, the tables and chairs were broken and taped. Some not even taped. Very surprised no one has gotten hurt! The palm trees are brown and weeds growing around them. They said they hadn’t noticed. I think I see the owner there whenever I have been there. It used to be our kids favorite place to visit when they come to the lakes. We went there again this summer to see if it had improved and only gotten worse! Only thing good is some of the entertainment and the cold beer. Very sad! What a perfect place for hanging out!!

It wasn't very busy the day we dropped by, but the service still wasn't great. The place is not very clean. There are chickens running around making a mess. I believe this is a health hazard and should not be happening. I like animals but won't go back here again.

Came for the gator grill out. They were pretty busy so all the staff were having a tough time keeping up, so props to them for doing what they can. Food was alright, not a very good portion for price though. Also, they must not have a dish washer because they used paper plates and the plastic wrapped utensils. Not a fan of that.
