Drinks are overpriced. Atmosphere is jammed packed. Bunch of snot wealthy people. Enjoy a six pack at home

It's a beer bar with mixed drinks and it's on the water. Great place for a drink.

Busy place, absolutely packed. Servers did their best, but tables were dirty. It's a party bar, it's alright.

Food was fair, the staff that helped us was ok. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but it was really chaotic and disorganized. Maybe that's the point? It was nice to have a place for kids to play.

This place is only good for drinks with a view. When we ordered our drinks and were going to put in our food order we were told they were short-handed and had to order at the outdoor counter. At the counter, which was also the kitchen, there were so many flies, the cooks spent more time killing them than cooking. The chairs we were sitting in were plastic, and the one I had buckled underneath me when I tried to scoot in. I'm not a large person. The bathrooms were filthy. The toilet lid was on the floor next to the toilet and the seat was off its hinges. The best thing about the place was that it had plastic souvenir cups with funny sayings. Stay for a drink, but don't eat or pee.

Our original bartender was young and distracted by the young girls but the more experienced bartender named David took charge and made things right. Without him we would have left hours earlier. Good job David. 7-29-23

I didn't get a chance to eat there YET, BUT HOPEFULLY I WILL NEXT SUMMER!!! I had to meet up with a friend & that was our meeting point & then we headed for the boat!!! BUT!!! There were people sitting around eating & drinking various things already & it's one'a those places you can just tell that it's a hoppin' little place once the people & parties get started!!! It's designed with TiKi hut bars & tables with umbrellas in colorful arrays, just a real HAPPY & FUN KIND'A PLACE!!! I can't wait to go next yr & I HIGHLY recommend you try it out for yourself!!! My Sister & Friends HIGHLY recommend it as the BEST party place on the OKIBOJI LAKES IN NORTH IOWA, ESPECIALLY ON THE WKENDS IN THE SUMMER!!!

You want fun entertainment this is the place to go. Fun for all ages. Usually some type of live band playing. All of the bartenders are super fun and outgoing. Food available at all times . Kids can swim in the water or there's a swing set sand area for them. They have lots of apparel to choose , not to mention boats on stock with boating accessories available at all times. You can come by vehicle or by boat.

Went here a couple times on our trip and it was fun and we enjoyed the drinks, food and shopping at their store food was pretty good. There is room for improvement in the facility out side (bathrooms especially), there is need for upgrades, it's just old run down looking in areas. Birds should not be allowed to nest in the palapa (s) and do their business over our eating area and us. Friendly staff!

Drink orders taken at the table, but for food you have to walk up to the food hut and order, then back to pick it up, unless you want to mobile order for a fee and still make your way over to get your food. No options for my dairy-free kiddo except apple slices which were green apples that were too sour for him. Nachos were good!
