First result was Bridget's Bucksnorts. We checked the menu to see if it was just junk burgers or something worth the stop. First thing we saw on the menu was the Big Daddy.... Long story short: I got the Big Daddy, my wife got the Shroom Burger; and, the next day, we're both still talking about how great they were! I want to know how I can make my burgers at home that unctuous!!!! We'll definitely stop again!

Last Sunday I was here to meet up with some classmates, which would have made this a mini-51st Reunion. As the picture shows, I think we've all aged fairly well, but noting with sadness the classmates who have passed on. The menu here had good choices, the restaurant/bar space was clean and comfortable, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The food was good enough, but somewhat besides the point considering all these home town friends coming together. My only complaint is that the very nice and accommodating waitress didn't know how to make change for this cash-only business.

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

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!

I ran across The Tap while passing through on a cross country trip. I was looking for something…read morethat wasn't fast food or chain food, and a beverage. They have a varied menu and offer a lot of options. I'm a vegetarian, so steak wasn't part of my plans, but I did end up choosing the standard side for a steak, a fully loaded baked potato. I had hoped for an IPA, but they explained that they'd offered them in the past without much interest from their regulars. I ended up drinking a couple of Sam Adams, and that complemented my potato nicely. Everyone was very friendly and the prices were good. The menu items on Yelp were out of date, so I took photos of the present menu. I forgot to take a photo before I started mashing my potato...better late than never. I would definitely go back if I'm passing through again! They also have two pool tables and a dart board, if you like them.

Didn't seem overly excited that there were outside of the normal folks there, but we were greeted and served. The food was basic. Fried gizzards were ok as were the mozzarella sticks. Seemed like the oil needed to be changed. Nothing special about the nachos. The Tap Patty Melt was bland. The bread had a bit of an off taste from the griddle. Overall, it was food and wasn't completely horrible, just not great.

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!!

We stopped by on a Saturday as we were looking for a good family lunch spot and the other Yelp…read morereviews were good. The whole experience seemed flustered. The host originally seated us in a space that did not fit our party. Then he moved us to a center spot in a long, family-style table with people on either side of us. We had a five year old with us who was overly tired and very spunky and we had to try to keep her focused on us and not our neighboring patrons. Was really not the most appropriate seating for children but we didn't want to ask for yet another table. Soon after we sat down, we discovered that the parties on both sides of us were upset and looking for any employee so they could express their frustration. Seeing as we were all so close, we could hear them complain to others in their parties about the service. We learned shortly that we should have written up our losses early and moved on. We didn't. We ordered our beverages and immediately got water. The rest (2 soft drinks, an iced tea, and a milk) slowly trickled out one by one. The waiter apologized every single time he came to the table about how slow everything was from us being seated to getting our drinks to him coming to take our order. Once the food came out, he was apologizing again for how long that took. He wasn't wrong. As for the food, it was fine. Portions were average to smallish for the price. It wasn't as special as we had hoped it would be based on the descriptions. We each got something different and all said that we wouldn't order that item again. Not that it was bad. It just wasn't good. The best thing we had was the pretzel stick appetizer. That was pretty good but for the price, we wouldn't order it again. Nothing was super memorable except the decor which was super fun to look at. Oh and the very apologetic waiter. Our food came out hot. Turns out that was not true for the table to our left. The table to our right got the wrong food so half their group was done while the others were just starting. Apparently one of the cooks had called in. So, over all, I gave them an optimistic 3 stars. It was like a participation award with the assumption that if they were firing on all cylinders, it could have been much better. Personally, i wouldn't try them again but as the only Irish pub in the area, it could be a neat happy hour hang out. It just was not a family lunch spot.

We visited here mostly because their online menu, and their menu inside, said they serve Kilkenny, one of my husband's favorite beers and one that is rare to find. Unfortunately, we were informed right away that they no longer serve it, either, as the distributor was struggling to get it. Alas. That is the only complaint we have, though. Service was great, busy as the place was on a Saturday at lunchtime. I had a Magner's cider while my husband made do with Schells Octoberfest. The cheese curds were absolute artwork, some of the best we've had in ages. I had the beet and goat cheese salad. It was huge with very fresh ingredients, quite filling without an added protein. My husband had a burger and fries and really enjoyed them.
