Spirit Lake, Iowa…read more The outside of this restaurant is adorable. Picnic tables, and a few four top tables sit randomly underneath a tree with outdoor lights. The inside is cold and modern. Plastic chairs, low back high top chairs and concrete floor. Photos line the wall, mostly of kids and scribble crayon on the back wall It is a walk up where you order your food and then they bring it to the table. The guy taking my order was curt. Asked him if they fry their items in beef tallow. He said no. Then I told him I had a question about the turkey burger. He was gruff and said what do you wanna know. Then I asked him if he had to pick between two sandwiches, which would he pick? He shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps he should not be working the front of the house with his lack of personality. My husband's burger was plain but good. My turkey burger was very dry. The onion jam was absolutely delicious and so was the bun that it was served on. We ordered a side of tater tots. They have a bit of kick and spice to them. However, they were soft. I prefer my tater tots to be cooked to a crunch. Not wet and limp. You can order soda, but it is sold by the can. There are no fountain drinks. There is no table service. In fact, I have not seen one employee walk since we have been here. I would give thus place a 3.8 for food. I would give them one star for service. No, I would never come back

My burger was just barely warm & came out within 5 minutes of us ordering. It seems like they are pre-cooked & then warmed up. The bun didn't seem fresh & my fries were hard. My other 2 friends had specialty burgers & fries. There fries were hot, fresh & delicious. I am very disappointed.

We had plenty of time and I thought that we'd both enjoy a little exploration around West Lake Okoboji first. Duke's (in the former Woody's Pizza building) is now closed on Monday and while turning around through Arnold's Park, I noticed Bob's on the water right next to the Fillenwarth Beach Resort. Bob's is casual and inexpensive. There's a limited menu selection of Hot Dogs, Sloppy Joes (called the Varsity), Chicken Tenders, Fries, Onion Rings, and the like. You order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. My Son and I decided to sit on the deck and enjoyed a wonderful view of the Lake (and a Regatta in progress) on this gorgeous "not too hot or humid" day. The food itself is probably 3 stars, but for where you are, and why I'm here, this total experience makes me a fan.

We've been coming to Okoboji for 15 years and never noticed this place. We saw it mentioned in the…read moreOkoboji magazine. We went there and waited outside the window for 5 minutes because the OPEN sign was on. We went around to the door thinking maybe you order inside. The cook said you order at the window. We stood there an additional 2 minutes with no one coming to take our order. I opened the door as we left and said we'll go elsewhere and never be back. We went across the street to The Hutt.

The music is great and the workers are always smiling and seem like they enjoy being there. Management also always has specials that are making it family friendly and affordable for everyone. It may have a bit of a higher price point than some fast food but they mail out coupons and do a lot of marketing to allow people the option to save! My go to is the deluxe cheeseburger combo meal deal! I also am excited they have the corn dog nuggets back!

There were big chunks of fried pieces in with the fries. I took them to the front and was given more fries that were almost as bad as the first ones. And no apology was given when I asked for fries that were fresh. My mom's Swiss and mushroom sandwich was very salty. I won't be coming here ever again!! I was then contacted by the RVP from Windom... "I'm the RVP for the Windom Hardee's, thank you for reaching out about your experience. I'm sorry it wasn't a pleasant visit, and I'd like to make it right with you. Would you happen to know who waited on you and your mom? This way I can talk to them and correct what they did wrong. If you send me your address, I can send you out some coupons and a gift card for your next visit, that can be used at any Hardee's." I then sent her the information that she asked for on September 11th. And as of today, I have heard nothing or received my coupons/gift card. NEVER AGAIN!!!

I got the side salad as my side dish and it was one of the smallest salads I have ever seen.. it was simple and good. The service was excellent and the view of the golf course was great.

There is a nice big deck for outdoor seating which overlooks the golf course. There are nice big square umbrellas for sunny days. The staff are all local and friendly. My recommendation for food is the build your own pizza. Unlike other places I've been, their toppings offerings are comprehensive including spinach, hot cherry peppers, green olives, feta, shrimp, etc... on top of the standard "boring" toppings. The pizza is oven baked so the crust is perfectly light and crispy yet hearty. Go and enjoy!! This is one of the only place located on the west side of Okoboji on Hwy 86!!
