The idiot didn't understand that oysters can be shipped in express which this fancy place does to keep it fresh! Service: A+ Our server was so sweet and gracious to our needs. He made us feel important. When he missed something he quickly owned up to it and retrieved it for me. Ambiance: A+. Fancy steak house in the middle of the desert. I L-O-V-E this place...it's a real treat to go here. Dietitian Dorothy's Nutrition4Men.com + Nutrition4Ladies.com Tip: incorporate greens such as in this Prawn Salad regularly to make a healthy gut (including Spinach, kale, arugula, broccoli, Swiss chard and dandelion greens.) They aid digestion and reduce inflammation so it would be a good side salad dish to split with the filet and lobster as your main course to split with your dining companion.

River Willow at BlueWater Resort & Casino is essentially the only upscale dinner option in Parker,…read moreso your expectations need to be calibrated accordingly. We tried the seafood risotto and the stacked prawn salad. The risotto was rich but leaned mushy for my taste, and the wine reduction overpowered the dish. The prawn salad was refreshing but had too many competing flavors that didn't quite come together. Service was solid, and the ambience is pleasant though dated. Certainly about what you'd expect from a casino restaurant in Parker. Given the quality, the prices felt a bit steep. Decent option if you're staying at BlueWater and want a sit-down dinner, but don't expect a destination-worthy meal.

Visited 8/12/2023 Wow…read moreFirst visit to Whiskey River Steakhouse & Saloon Fantastic place to get a good meal. We love the hours and the friendly service. Small menu but packed with fresh made dishes. Sadly asked but didn't deliver the MediumRare burger we requested more like Medium Well Done. Everything else was Amazing. I Recommend The Stuffed Bacon Jalapeños. Fresh and Nice flavor. Onion Rings we're nicely done. The Star for me was The Porterhouse Pork Chop. Excellent and as were the Sautéed Mushrooms. Salads were fresh and crispy and the salad dressings tasted like homemade. Very refreshing. All in all a very nice restaurant. Can't wait to come back next time to enjoy more of the menu.

Our server told us the omelets were 4 eggs, that explains a lot. Wifey had the yogurt berry parfait. That was yummy too. Now the second morning, they had a 4 oz steak breakfast for $4.99.

Everyone on the patio, including our group of 6, was in bathing suits fresh out of the water. Super casual. We visited Father's Day weekend 2026 and stopped here on a Saturday for lunch. Service was slow, but once we got our food, it was all so good! Turkey sandwich 10/10, sweet potatoes 10/10. My kids (ages 4 and 6) shared the Mac n cheese and chicken tenders, both were great and large portioned. All the decor is pirate/tiki themed and great for kids! Can't wait to return!

My husbands favorite was the monte cristo he got it twice during out trip and I changed it up a little each day but love a savory breakfast. The "9ner" breakfast is a great deal and plenty of food and super good! They are dog friendly which is great for us and they always brought out a water bowl for him and sometimes a pup cup. The service can be a little slow but it is busy in the mornings and I do not mind enjoying the views of the river and seeing all of the boats go by outside. I can not wait to come back! Much better than trying to cook breakfast for multiple people at camp!

I had the shredded beef tacos the sauce and spices in the meat was delicious! My girlfriend ordered the chicken quesadilla, she thought was good and that what would've made It better is if the chicken was more moist, but that may be a matter of her personal preference. It was so filling that she was only able to eat half of it. You gotta appreciate a good "Mexican full"! I do!! The young lady at the counter was sweet and helpful. The restaurant is spacious and clean and has a good vibe for everyone. I will definitely return next time. I'm in the area.

Prices were reasonable and the ambiance reminded me of Mexican meat markets. Id definitely return.

The grill cook doesn't understand the difference between rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well. and well, but the food was always enjoyable. The soups were outstanding. I was a saucier and I understand soup. I rarely find a soup that needs no seasoning to my taste, but CC nailed it. The waitstaff are friendly and efficient, even when buried in customers. I give the place as many stars as I can. The ambience is exactly what one wants in an American roadside cafe. Happy customers, friendly employees and they even sell ice. That's important when the temps are in the 120's.

This place deserves much higher than 3.9 stars!…read more Hard to beat the location right on the water. They have a good sized indoor area, plus a patio and an entire outdoor bar/grill as well. Gotta love the decorations too, they really committed to the whole pirate theme! Shout out to our server Rheanna, she was awesome! On top of drinks and food, plus she was fun to talk to! We got a couple starters, the zucchini blossoms with marinara and the stuffed portobello mushrooms. Both were really good and tbh I almost got full before my meal even came! Our meals came with side salads, but don't be fooled they were pretty big. Their dressings are very good too btw. I got the Spicy Italian Sausage Ragu with zoodles, and she got the Creamy Pesto Alfredo with chicken and also zoodles. I love that they offer zoodles on some of their dishes since I don't always eat pasta and it's rare to see them anywhere. The ragu had so many veggies and the sauce was perfect. The sausage was definitely spicy. The creamy pest alfredo sauce was very tasty, worked very good with the chicken. We both had leftovers as the portion sizes were not stingy. We've been here a couple times before and they're consistently good. It's becoming one of our go-to's whenever we come to the river! **sorry I didn't get pics of the apps or salads

Turns out they open at 9 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and quit serving breakfast at 11:30. D'oh, I misread the website hours and thought they didn't open until 11:30 so we hung around for 45 minutes before running over so as not to arrive before the restaurant opened. We walked in the door and the hostess seated us immediately with menus. I asked about breakfast but the server explained that they opened at 9 and stopped serving breakfast at 11:30. So we had lunch, I ordered a Hawaiian pizza and my girlfriend ordered a hamburger that came with pastrami and a fried egg. That thing was a monster. Pictures don't do it justice. It was a huge stack of protein, burger patty, stack of pastrami, covered by a fried egg and topped with a brioche bun. Lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion of course as well. My pizza was delicious and her burger was awesome. I couldn't help but take a bite. We both ate half of our meals and were stuffed. So we took the other halves back to our room as leftovers. Great location right on the river, our table looked out over the channel to the pirates den launch ramp. Prices were reasonable and the food portions were generous. We will probably return the next time we're in parker.
