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!

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

Worst place for breakfast ever…read more The lady at the drive through window took my order and I had to wait over 5 minutes for her to come back. This was after I paid for the meal with my credit card. When she came back I wanted to just have her cancel the order but she insisted she could make the food quickly. She came back telling me the cook was no where to be found and when she brought the meal back another 5 minutes later, it was cold and absolutely not what I ordered! The biscuit was hard as a puck and like I said it wasn't the breakfast sandwich I ordered. She was trying to make the best out of a bad situation but honestly I can see why no one was in line. Bad food. I don't recommend anyone eating here.
