Rita's Cantina

Put-in-bays boardwalk will continue to attract visitors from all walks of life so why not make this place truly authentic? I believe it’s time to bring in a Latino/hispanic food expert to review the taste and dishes this spot has to offer. The food does not do a good job at all of representing the culture or flavor that a cantina would or even could offer. Atmosphere and music are great but the food needs help ASAP.

If you’re looking for a more quaint place to grab a drink on the island this is a good spot. Margaritas are good. Tables overlook the boat docks.

Jonathan made our rainy pit stop more than worth it! We didn't eat, but we had drinks. The rooftop bar gives you a wonderful view of all the things and Jonathan was super accommodating! We enjoyed being stuck there during a thunderstorm and had several drinks. Will absolutely be returning!

Went there last night the bartender was too busy talking to her boyfriend and watching basketball on tv to help us. Then we asked if we can smoke at the bar she said no but her boyfriend was smoking at the bar and putting his cigarettes out on the bar ( not an ashtray) when we ordered our food she said she will put it in but doens’t know how long it will be because she doesn't know where the taco bar person is. We have gone here many times never had an issue till yesterday.

For a place that advertisements margaritas as its primary come to, the black diamond margarita was highly disappointing. Came in a tiny cup with one shot of liquor and on the rocks. And they had the nerve to charge 15 bucks for it.

The Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita is AMAZING! I really enjoy this place because the drinks are great and the view is remarkable!

Great view
Good drinks but paying $40 for two Rita's Margaritas is a ripoff
Went to The Boardwalk bar same drink $13.50

Great location to eat, but the food was waaaayy overpriced for what you get. It was quite underwhelming—it was basically your standard ballpark nachos with canned queso.

Ended my Bachelorette party here yesterday. I asked the bartender for a fruity shot, she thought I meant fruit flavored alcohol, little miscommunication there that’s okay. But when I told her I didn’t like the shot her words were “well maybe you just need to find something and stick to it.” And looked offended that I didn’t like it. I had been drinking my go to shots all day so I wanted something different, which is something I thought maybe a bartender could do for me. I’m only giving 3 stars because the girl that helped us after the other left was very kind, and respectful to me and my bridal party and even offered to take our picture.

Good atmosphere and good place to spend the evening but 32$ for two small Margaritas is

Terrible food and drink prices are outrageous. Don’t waste your time!

This place sucked! I ordered a traditional margarita and it was $19.25. Seriously!? It was a plastic cup FULL of ice and a little bit of margarita, nothing special. Kids ordered chips and queso for $10, slow service (we were ready to leave before they came out) and literally chips from a bag and a plastic cup of watery queso. Please do not patronize this place. It’s a total rip off. Many other places on the island more reasonable and friendlier. ??

This is a very nice and peaceful yet fun stop. It has a wide variety of drinks, beers, frozen coctails, margaritas, and plenty more. There is plenty of sitting or standing room at the boardwalk for you to enjoy your drinks and in the pleasant scenery of Lake Erie and Put in Bay. They do have a couple of snack options, but not much, so I recommend going for the drinks and view primarily.
