    Perfect breakfast view.
    Melissa J.

    Great views, great beer and the Walleye is fresh and flakey...what else can one ask for on Lake Erie! The wait staff is great, quick and attentive, the beers are cheap and cold, so walk over to the Casino if you are looking for a quick bite.

    I started by looking at reviews for this place. I saw a lot of 1 star reviews but from 2-3 years ago. I simply refuse to give a 1 star because I've only been here once. Here are a few disappointments - 1. The burgers taste like they are out of a box. 2. The nachos with crab has imitation crab that you can't taste on it. 3. The lettuce in a salad is not fresh. 4. The beer is sold in cans but priced as bottles. Here are a few good things - 1. The nachos aren't bad but just lack a bit. 2. The pepperoni crips are DELICIOUS. 3. From previous reviews, the service has seemed to improve a bit. 4. It's on the water and a decent view. Overall, I wouldn't spend the time here. There is too many little things they could improve on if they put the effort in.

    Chicken tenders are great, fries are great. Love that it's on the water. Walleye tasted a bit weird (like old batter or something).

    Honestly really disappointing. Food is low quality, prepackaged food that's over priced. Service was only moderate. Canned drinks from the bar that were over priced. $5-$6 for a canned beer. Food is way overpriced for the quality and freshness. I can't even express how disappointing this place way. Basically the only good thing about this place is that it's on the water. Everything else is very disappointing. Don't waste your money here.

    We've been coming here since the late 1970's. It's a lot nicer. They have one of the better selections of starters on the island. The food is good but service a little slow -but then again you're on island time. Nice boat access & view.

    Great Place. Awesome environment. Weekend days have live entertainment which draw drunk wacky crowds. Weekend nights bring in the booze cruise with a kick-ass DJ and a total dance party inside. Wouldn't recognize the place from day to night. Outside is the tiki bar with a more chill atmosphere and good place to get drinks instead of waiting inside. Dockage located right off the patio where all the cigarette boats show their stuff. Great view of the lake from the patio. Menu not too extensive but it's all good bar food. Great burgers and perch. Some unique awesome apps include pepperoni crisps, fried pepperjack cheese balls, fried zucchini, and crabmeat nachos. Signature drink: Casino Royale. 20oz. bloody mary including celery, shrimp, pickle spear, olives, lemon and lime and heaven. $6.95. Only plastic containers available, don't be asking for a wine glass (or a wine list).

    This place had a really fantastic band when I was here. It had a good local bar type of vibe. Cool place to stop for a beer when you're out on the boat. If you're coming my your personal boat it can be a major B to park because this place is always packed.

    The batter is not cooked and the shrimp was super undercooked and slimy.

They were super excited but you can only ride so many water slides for so long so we were thankful to be able to take a break in the Big Game Room. Keep in mind this is designed for kids so some of the things are cheesy but it's for fun. Since I was splurging I got the Safari Family package which included tokens, tickets, escape rooms and activities. The game room is full of various types of games from little kid games, to VR games, to ticket games. My daughter and I really enjoyed the VR pods while my son went for the ticket games. We were there during the day on a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all. The first activity we did was the mirror maze and it's not huge but they enjoyed it as part of the whole experience. We also did the 7D Theater and that was probably the most favorite activity. You strap into moving chairs and go on a ride to shoot zombies etc. next we headed over to laser tag and shot each other bunch. The same lady got us set up for each activity and was very nice. Finally we headed over to the Escape room which was very basic and small but was very fun. We were able to escape but used a lot of hints.

    Each game takes a minimum of 6 credits with most averaging 8-10. Each credit is equivalent to .25,…read moreso most games costing $2-$2.50 is absurd. The claw machines were rigged to only grab effectively 1 out of 20 times, and the claw machines all had different sized prizes but all cost 8 credits! Why is it costing me the same amount of credits to win a tiny plastic toy or a giant Pokémon? Makes no sense. I hate arcades these days, they're all money grabs with impossible games and crap prizes.

When the food arrived, I thought we were being pranked--my Alfredo looked like a tiny side dish. We were both shocked. His chicken Parmesan was overcooked and, according to him, tasted like leftovers. The waiter never once asked how the food was, even after clearly seeing the pathetic portion size. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. We spent over $60 for one of the most frustrating, underwhelming meals we've ever had. Total letdown

You get access to a wide variety of quality food. There are not a lot of buffets in the area these days. By default, this buffet is, therefore, one of the best buffets in the area. It wasn't very busy and we got through the non-member line quickly. We were excorted to a table and then we went to the buffet. The buffet is long, so it's a little walk to get from one end to the other. The food all looked good. We skipped the Mexican and salad sections. There was a tasty looking hamburger buffet, but I skipped that too. The pizza looked good as well, but since my life is full of pizza, I skipped that section as well. Finally, I saw the stuff I like - veggies, pasta, and meat. I didn't get any fried chicken, but I loaded up on pasta and various sauteed veggies like green beans, sweet potatoes, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. When I returned to the table, our drinks still were not delivered, but they arrived within a few minutes. The veggies were delicious, but the brocollini was a little tough. The mashed potatoes were awesome. I loved the veggies. On my second trip, I got some more veggies and mac n cheese. I didn't want to over eat, so I kept it to two plates. On Wednesdays or Thursdays, I will definitely be making a visit to this buffet because it is so much better than some of the other food in the area and in some cases, cheaper. Take for example, two summer rolls, a glass of water, and some noodles and veggies is $24 at a nearby restaurant. While this meal is tasty, it's not a good value. At yet another nearby food stand, I can get a bottle of water, veggies, meat, and noodles with sauce for $7 - a great value. But one can only dine at the same establishment so many times when the menu is limited. I'll be back, Jack!

We arrived around 1:30 PM and were pleasantly surprised that our room was already ready -- such a relief after traveling, especially with kids. However, the new luggage carts are definitely a downgrade. They barely hold anything, and if you have more than just a couple of bags, it turns into a hassle. Really hoping they switch back to the old style. The waterpark itself is always a blast, but I do wish the hours were longer. Closing at 8 PM on weeknights feels early when you're on vacation and trying to fit everything in. Same for the sweet treat shop -- we felt rushed trying to get from the waterpark to the room, get dressed, and then make it down to the arcade and grab treats all within about 45 minutes. We chose the Stay & Play package mainly for the arcade credit ($100 each night), but we didn't realize that when you use the package credits, the games don't give you tickets. That was disappointing, especially with kids who love winning prizes. On the positive side, the kids absolutely loved the Build-a-Bear experience. It was pricey at about $100 for two bears, but it is vacation, and they had so much fun that it was worth it. I also really liked the new charging wristbands -- super convenient and nice not having to carry a card around all day. As for comfort, the waterpark air could've been warmer. I remember it feeling much more comfortable in past visits, but this time I felt cold almost the whole time. The hallways were especially chilly. Food-wise, the Pizza Pub was fantastic. We had it delivered right to our room, and both the pizza and the chicken chunks were delicious -- honestly one of our favorite meals of the trip. Overall, even with a few hiccups, we had a fun stay and would visit again. Kalahari still delivers a great family getaway, just with a few things I hope they adjust back to how they used to be.

We contacted resort staff three separate times with serious concerns during our stay and saw no action taken--only empty apologies. That lack of response was extremely frustrating and made it feel like guest experience was not a priority. Going back to the room for a break didn't help. Our room faced a solid wall, did not have a fireplace as advertised, and we dealt with constant loud door slamming and wall pounding from nearby cleaning staff. It was not relaxing and made it difficult to rest. The conditions in the waterpark were also unacceptable. The lines for the water slides smelled strongly of urine, as if people were urinating while standing in line, which was extremely unpleasant and unhygienic. The wave pool was especially concerning. Chunks of concrete were breaking off the bottom of the pool, and I cut my foot on one of these pieces, about the size of a penny. There was concrete grit throughout the water, which was very unsafe - I gave chunks to the staff to emphasize my concerns. On top of all of this, everything was freezing cold. The wave pool water was freezing, the slide water was freezing, and the hot tubs were not hot at all despite hour-long wait lines with 40+ people. Even the indoor temperature felt cold. For the cost of this stay, none of this was acceptable. Overall, this experience was not worth what we paid and fell far below expectations.
