I visited in July and the pizza and service were really good. I tried the Royal pizza which had a…read morebbq sauce base with smoked brisket, bacon and caramelized onions. It was very good. I also tried the house-made mozzarella sticks and the Busch Lite beer batter onion rings. The mozzarella sticks were excellent. The onion rings were good as well, but the batter was thick and crispy and fell off the onions. They are definitely worth a try if you like beer battered onion rings. They have a nice little patio that faces the main road (Hwy 71) that is good for people/traffic watching. They allowed my very small puppy on the patio which was a bonus!

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).

Despite being busy, we found a decent seat that looked over the sidewalk and service was pretty good. We ordered the fried raviolis and a hamburger and cup & char pepperoni pizza. The fried raviolis were amazing. They were stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, romano and asiago cheeses. The pizza was good as well. The prices were reasonable and overall food and service were really good.

The sandwich was supposed to have coleslaw on it which I requested after I took the photo. Once I doctored up the sandwich with more sauce, also requested, and the slaw, it was good. 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. My recommendation is to sit outside as the noise inside is a bit loud for me.

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!!

Neither was very obtrusive. Our waiter was Benjamin. He was so kind and congenial. Even friendly. Our order was relatively simple...onion rings and a chopped sirloin dinner. Benjamin was so good about the timing of our app, salad and entree. He checked with us often enough to be helpful but not a nag. The onion rings were very good with a relatively light coating. I had read that the wedge salad was delicious, and those reviewers were right! The chopped sirloin was fantastic and huge (16 oz.). It was probably done a little past medium, but it was still very flavorful. The mashed potatoes were amazing! Skin on, creamy and delicious. We were so glad we shared the app and the entree so we could get a piece of the lemon berry cake to eat back in our room! The tartness of the lemon with the sweetness of the strawberry sauce was the perfect way to cap off the evening! We were very happy with our experience. Benjamin made it even better with his kind personality! Best of luck with your future plans, Benjamin!

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!
