I always will get their cauliflower crust as I'm obsessed with it. However only downside is it sometimes can come out crispy almost to the point if it is burnt depending on who is behind the counter. Service is overall alright but not great. Waiters are not very friendly and often miss something we ordered or type it in wrong every time we way there however they always fix their mistake. Drinks also can get a bit pricy. Please note the place is not very big so you may have to wait on the weekends. Overall super cute place and love the food!

However, the next time I stopped in, it was even better. Now Portside is a boji must when we're in town. It just really is that good. Portside has multiple levels and a fun atmosphere as well. It can be occasionally hard to find a seat on a busy weekend so plan accordingly! Check out their tshirts too (I really like this pizza).

The drinks hit the spot, finding a seat was easy, and the break-away breadsticks were a flavorful way to kick things off. The pizza itself didn't quite land for our crew. We ordered the Butcher, and the sauce in particular wasn't our style. The prices ran a bit higher than we expected too. Nothing that dampened the outing, just not quite our thing. We're glad we gave it a shot, and if the drinks and appetizers are your scene, it's worth a stop. It may not make our regular rotation on future Okoboji trips, but every town deserves a first visit.

Every Iowan beerfest I attend, I am always in search of the West O Beer tent. We popped in on our final night of vacation for a pint and some pretzel bites as the kiddos played out on their patio. Pricing was on par. Parking was a bit cramped, you can tell when the parking lot is full that the inside will be, too. You need to order at the bar. (They are closed on Monday, FYI.) The pretzel bites were good, mustard definitely had some kick. My West O Cocoa was the perfect end to vacation. I'll pop in this brewery again when we are in town!

We figured since they were busy for the game we would give them another chance since we did enjoy the views of the boats/lake, but we came back a few days later on a Tuesday, place was empty, but service was just as terrible and food just as bad. Food took almost an hour for pizza, chicken strips, fries, and burgers. If I could leave a 0 for a review on food and service, I would.

Was told I'd have to make the drive in to the restaurant and show them my "pending" charge in order for them to help me and they would make my pizzas. Drove all the way there to be told my order didn't go through. A manager was on the phone with either another manger or the owner and just walked off and told another young man to help me while he was still on the phone. A young kid comes over and asks how he can help me. Well, the pass off was terrible this kid didn't know why I was there or how to help me. Then the manager who is on the phone hollers at me through the kitchen window to place my order online again and that my pending charge will just fall off. Seriously the customer service industry is dead, and no one is educating these young kids on how to help someone or diffuse a situation. You can't just walk off in the middle of helping someone because you are the only person who is allowed to "cut the pizzas." The only helpful person was a young man name Austin who offered to clean a table so I could sit down and wait for help.

Food took about 15 minutes and am assuming broasted chicken takes a little longer. When we got our food it was piping hot. That's a really good thing. Server asked if we needed anything else. Asker her for salt, pepper, and ketchup. She returned with those things promptly. Food was hot and delicious. Chicken was moist and the sides were also good. Here's where the experience goes sour. We finished our meal without seeing our server again. Didn't ask how food was or check on beverages. This seems to be the normal. We had finished our meal and had to wait for our server to make a reappearance. We were one of three tables of patrons at 2 pm on a Friday. I hadn't been here to eat for about a year due to the same issue with the service .....,. Or lack thereof. Again, the food was good but once again server was poor and invisible.

Milford, Iowa 8 PM…read moreon a Tuesday night and this place is packed. I would not consider it a sports bar but more of a lively lounge. Only two people working. They are doing the bar, tables, wait staff, all of the above: two very busy girls. We sat ourselves and waited for them to bring a menu. The menu has much to choose from. Some really great appetizers, sandwiches and burgers. They fry everything in beef tallow. I ordered the Kentucky chicken bourbon sandwich. I chose the side salad with blue cheese dressing. My husband ordered a burger with fries. I ordered a draft beer. Can't go wrong for a large 16 ounce cold draft for $3.38. Restaurant is very clean. However, when they clean the table, they spray the table with chlorine or bleach, and it has a very strong smell. I really think they should spray it onto the rag and then wipe the table. I do not want to smell that or take the chance that it is going on my food while I am eating. Jumping back to the food, I asked for soup. It is September 2 and the waitress said "there is no soup" although soup is on the menu. It is not available until winter. A bit odd. My husband liked the burger. It came on Texas toast. He had fries with it as well. The burger comes plain. If you want anything on it from lettuce to tomato you have to pay $.25 extra. He asked for some mayonnaise. They gave him two packets of mayo and charged him $.52. Really? They also have a sign on the wall that says that they are charging a dollar more for every beef product on the menu as beef prices have gone up. Crazy! My Kentucky bourbon chicken sandwich was not the best. The chicken was dry and it had sautéed onions with too much sauce poured on the top. It was a sticky mess. My side salad was nothing but lettuce and shredded cheese with a few croutons. The waitress was kind and accommodating to my allergies. I appreciate her for that. Overall, I was not impressed and would not go back. Nor would I recommend this place. I give this place three stars only because of location.
