Fun atmosphere. Good burger. Lots of sorts on lots of TVs. Nice cold Ruthie's beer.

Love this place! Every time I'm down to our cabin (East Side, East Okoboji) and we want a Bar this is my #1 place!

Good vibe inside. I like the bar material a lot. Feels legit. The food was actually stellar. Philly was awesome even the bread. The wild rice was cold but nice to choose from and the vegetables had good flavor. Lots of TVs too. read more

Good menu. Really good Caesar side salad and nachos. I was less impressed by the burger on my second night there.

Nautical Burger all the way. Mozzarella sticks on a burger. What else do you need? The fries are also great. I ordered a side of the nauti sauce that tastes like a spicy Raising Canes Sauce for the fries. It's great. The cooks know how to make something tasty! It's a little more pricey and sometimes super busy, but it is a great meal. You will feel terrible later, but your taste buds will thank you in the short term! read more

Great service food was good, fairly typical bar and grill. Friendly place. Beer selection was reasonable

Great staff and amazing food. Always a upbeat place. Must try. Wings are good . Drinks are even better

Went in with a group of 8 and instead of accommodating for our group, they simply said "you guys are going to just have to split up" very frustrating for us as we had someone with a gluten allergy and they are one of the places that have a gluten free option, but because of the rude service we went elsewhere. We were a bachelorette party and had been planning on going here for dinner for months as it's one of the brides favorite places to go when she's in okoboji. read more

Duck wontons. Yes please. Pork tenderloin. Think of a normal bun then add two inches to the diameter and that's the tenderloin. Huge. Yes please. Taco salad. Yes please. Service. Amazing. Environment. Sports lovers perfection. PBR. Yes please. Some fish my Mom got. She loved it. No pics. That's my bad. But every time I'm in okoboji I'm there for that tenderloin! read more

It was a fairly slow night, so we walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender working seemed more interested in flirting/chatting with another customer then taking our order. 15 minutes later we finally got acknowledged and ordered some drinks. The Nauti Juice was delicious! Once our food got ordered, it only took about 10 minutes. We had the Irish Nachos in the boatload, which was more than enough. I personally felt there could've been more toppings and the beer cheese didn't really work on this dish for me. The menu seemed to have a lot of interesting items I would like try. I really enjoyed the look of the restaurant with the garage doors. Maybe we'll need to come back and try out a new bartender/different menu item. read more

Visited here right before the Chris Jansen concert. It was very busy but I'm not sure if that was because of the concert or if it is always like that. There wasn't much seating to begin with but we made due by sitting at the bar. Service was pretty quick. Since we were at the bar, the bartender took our drinks and food. I got the chicken sandwich which was really good. Nice quality meat and a nice crunch to is as well. Definitely a good place to go to to satisfy your cravings! read more

Good atmosphere with football games on. The service was good. I had the sweet chili tilapia and it was fantastic!

The drinks were very reasonably priced here with fun cocktails and mules ranging between $6-$8! We got a few long islands and a few of their beers which were good. The bartender seemed to have some limited options for cocktails (my partner requested a hurricane and they didn't have the liquors for that). We got the fried pickles with some ranch as an appetizer which were excellent. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese which I think was underwhelming. The tomato and bacon threw off the sandwich and took away from the lobster. I paid $2 to upgrade my side to the sweet potato fries. They were delicious but unfortunately I was only offered very few fries (probably about 10 fries total). The food options will be a crowd pleaser if you come with a big group as their menu is versatile, but don't expect the most amazing quality of food for a dive bar environment. read more

Absolutely AMAZING! The fish and chips are a MUST HAVE. They were fresh and chicken nugget sized with fresh slaw and fries. The Nauti burger was huge and tasted great. The cheese balls were really affordable at $8 and were tasty cheese curds. read more

The service here was great. No drink menu but the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly in suggesting drink options. I got the blueberry lemonade sour which was fantastic. The wontons were tasty, small portion but delicious. Couldn't really taste the duck at all mostly a creamy filling but good nonetheless read more

Ehh we have been there twice and I would rather go somewhere else. Our waitress took our order and that was it. Fries were cold hamburger wasn't good. It's all open there was a nice breeze. I can't say I'd go to McDonald's over there but it's not too far from that. Next time it's hibachi 88 which is the best restaurant down in spirit lake. read more

Nautical's had the best hamburger I've ever tasted in my 67 years! It was outstanding. The rest of the family enjoyed their orders as well, but their burgers are off the charts! Thumbs up. read more

Food was good, service was great. There are plenty of TV's around to watch your favorite sport, there is also a dart board and pool table to keep you busy. There is an open door directly to the neighbor pizza bar so that will make nights even more interesting. First time here but I will certainly be back! read more

Always good with friendly service and staff is very accomodating. Great for lunch even with a family

Our family dropped by on the Thursday night the Vikings were playing so the place was close to full and fairly loud (in a good way!). This is a dive bar with food on the main drag in Arnolds Park. The food was good, but this is the third time within three weeks that I've been served cold fries. Not lukewarm, cold. They once were warm, but not recently. Very surprising on a night when the velocity of food delivery was high and heavy. I recommend the corn beef Reuben, which is as authentic as I've had ! BUT, DON'T order the fries ! read more

Stopped in here for lunch on our way in to Okoboji. With four hungry teenagers, we just wanted some food. Oh. My. Gosh. Best bar food EVER. Huge portions and perfectly seasoned fries (kids said best they've ever had). Our server knew everything about the area and offered a lot of suggestions for food and shopping. Great experience. We will be back. read more

Great food and fast service even with a very full dining room. Great selection of beers too!

Food was amazing. Had tried grilled cheese and Reuben sandwich and it was to die for. Would definitely recommend. The workers are so kind and polite. With a full house we sat down and ate within 45 mins. read more

I went here before going to the summer theater. The food was fairly good. I had a BLT with fries. The sandwich was fresh and had a ton of bacon in it! The waitstaff seemed very overwhelmed even though it wasn't very busy. It took quite a bit of time to get our order placed and the place was quite dirty. We had to sit at a dirty table and again, it took some time for the waitress to clean it. We were not offered a cocktail/drink menu. Overall the food was good but the atmosphere and service was below expectations. read more

the rooftop is amazing, but they don't take food orders. the food is decent but it takes an hour to get it. servers are rude and never around. read more

Friendly and attentive staff. Good offering on menu. No lengthy wait times. Delicious margaritas. Several options for souvenirs. Relaxing atmosphere. Open air seating inside, very refreshing! read more

Nice and easy place to eat. Went in Mid January and was a hit. I thought the staff was great.

Good food, however, terrible service. Owner and bartenders offer horrible service. Charged for the drinks we didn't buy, but forced to buy. Would not go back and would not recommend. read more

Good food and pretty decent service even being understaffed. I have been to many restaurants that are not understaffed. The staff works their tails off and do their best. read more

Good service and good atmosphere. When asking locals from Okoboji, this was one of the top recommended places. Burgers with a little greasy but the waffle fries were delish. I'd go there again! read more

Great Place to grab an amazing lunch/dinner. This Bar has an amazing selection of beers on tap and bottled to suit any beer drinkers needs. The wings are made with homemade sauces and cooked to a crisp perfection. My wifes chicken ceasar salad was the best she has had in years. This place has a working owner who takes pride in his bar and the service they provide. Don't forget to grab some champagne on tap! read more

Has been a good experience here so far! Great service and friendly. Does anyone remember Vern and Coilas restaurant?? They had the best onion rings......well these are pretty spot on!!! Food has been good, variety of different things on the menu, nice change. read more

It's new and fresh. It was clean but unexciting. The bar staff was engaging and friendly. I have herd the food is good... But I did not have it when I was there. It is structured toward the younger crowd. But worth a Look in at all ages. read more

New place on Broadway by the Emporium. Love the open air feel with the overhead door open. Service is prompt and friendly. $3 margaritas and taco specials on Tuesdays. Had the seafood platter with cod, shrimp, and calamari. Good, and enough for two. Plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sporting events. read more

See all

Relaxed sports bar atmosphere. Quick service, good food. The Nauti Burger had bacon, onion rings and "Nauti Sauce" on it. Plus they put it on a bun. Pointless. Not a fan of the sauce, but everything else was good. The server/bartender was welcoming and friendly. I will come back but try something else. read more

Buffalo wings were not very good...had no sauce visible on them, I wonder if maybe they forgot to put sauce on them? Onion rings were very good read more

Came in with high expectations and left with disappointed. We waited for at least 15 minutes and no one acknowledged our presence.

Went here quite a few times! The food is pretty incredible! The wings... OMG! Every flavor you can imagine! SOOO good. The fried pickles could use some changing. It was literally fried sliced pickles. Really not that great. The nacho fries could also use some work. I LOVE the toppings. But the grainy fries y'all use kind of ruin it (If i'm honest). Get some waffle fries or deep fried fries. Would make that dish to die for! The toppings... omg I'm still drooling. But yes, GET WINGS!!! Get all the wings!!! Drop dead delicious! I'll be back for sure! read more
