    Halloween Party 2020 Beach Bums on Ottertail Lake!
    We L.

    The Best view of Ottertail Lake while engaging in a delicious snack or meal as well as their drink specials or whatever your favorite may be! Great beach feel. Great patio and what ana amazing lineup for music! We will be back for beach TikiD and the country singers - they could be signed they sound awesome! So great food, atmosphere, staff of course!, and music! No question where to go get some vitamin D and enjoy!

    Great table and fast service on a rainy Wednesday in July. We've been here before and haven't had the best luck with the mixed drinks (too dilute/no alcohol), so tonight we stuck with draft beers and soda. We got the fried chicken, Cubano and Pele burger. Chicken got a 10/10 for flavor and delicious crispy skin. I give the Cubano 8/10--nice panini style with pickles, pulled pork and ham. The fries were good and generously portioned. The pele burger got a 8/10--great portion, great flavor and truly spicy! Service gets an 8/10. A note! If you're a city water or bottled water person, most of the tap water in the restaurants in this area tastes/smells of "well water", "rust", "iron"... if you're particular about your drinking water bring your own, ask for bottled, or ask for drinks without ice.

    Signature Cocktails!

    My grandsons (6&8) love it- probably related to the frisbee plates but this spot turned the youngest into a onion ring eater .

    We ate there at 6pm after parade and it was busy, but it only took 20 minutes to receive our food…read morewhich was not bad with it being busy due to Watemelon Days. The service of all the bartenders and wait staff was above and beyond 5 stars! I was seated where I could watch kitchen and I observed the 1 and only cook handle food without gloves (FDA recommends avoiding bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods) and boasted chicken is considered just that. There was a very bare simple menu so I ordered a cheeseburger and chips and he got the white chicken. I literally saw cook put the chicken in basket bare-handed and let my husband know that while he brought our order to window and I watch waitress bring over. My cheeseburger was well over-done as was the grilling of the bun which I ate some due to not having eaten and didn't want to wait longer, but the chicken was so overcooked that you could barely use fork to peel away a bite on the breast. When he finally got a bite, it was so dry that even dipping in ranch didn't help. The outside was very dark considered to other places we've gotten chicken from. Now, I was very impressed with the service compared to prior years at watermelon days, but the food was much better. I did see staff going back to try to help, so bonus stars for that. My husband did talk to owner who was very understanding and seems to really care about her bar and restaurant, and had 2 breasts remade but they ended up to be the same way unfortunately. Maybe for bigger crowds, have more people in kitchen the whole time so food is not overcooked for which should be discounted some to customers that do receive it that way. Next year we will eat at cafe or drive to Battle Lake before street dance.

    We ordered take-out chicken dinners based on the great reviews. It has been several years since we…read morehave eaten here and wanted to see how things with the new owners have changed. The new owners are very friendly and my husband spoke favorably of the changes inside. (He picked up the order.) Said it would be a really nice place to watch a game, etc. As to the food. The chicken was very moist and hot, but for us it was disappointing as to taste. A little bland for us. We kind of felt the same way about the potatoes. The coleslaw was fine but nothing special. Chicken places are a dime a dozen in the area and there are others that we prefer. But I could also see why this option would be preferable to some people. We still intend to try the place again and try some other things on the menu and perhaps watch a game.

My husband ordered their weekend special, BBQ pulled pork sandwich and fries. We waited patiently for an hour for our food. I thought those would be easy orders and get us out faster. WRONG. I picked them up in a paper bag at the counter, rather than a tray. (Maybe because the cook did not want the her to see what was being served). Where is the cook's pride? The fries were so soggy with oil, it looked like they had been boiled rather than fried. Discusting. The wings were so over-seasoned, it was like eating the spice directly from the can. Had to throw them, could only handle 2. ( Yes I tried to wipe off the seasoning from the wings). Also I was surprised how small the wings were. My frozen ones from the grocery store are bigger. The pulled pork was bland, and the amount of bbq sauce given on the side, was not enough. So disappointing. We paid restaurant prices for unedible food. No this is NOT a Diner. There was no table service. No one filling water, etc., yet they have the nerve to ask for a tip when you order. I tipped, just because of what might be done to my food if I didn't. When the food was opened at our table, there was no one to show the greasy slimy fries to, due to the line of people crammed into that little building. I would of had to push people out of the way to reach the small counter. At that point, it just wasn't worth it.

It gives off the vibe of a sports bar but also a place to sit and have a casual meal. The fried pickles came out hot and crispy and they were wonderful! Even after sitting and munching on them after 5 minutes the ones that were still in the basket were still warm. The PB+J burger was amazing! It has a nice little kick with every bite you took. It had the perfect amount of spicy that wasn't too overwhelming. The BBQ wings were also very good! Cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of sauce on them. The cheese balls were really good but had too much cheese in each bite you took. The cheese balls were also much larger than what we were thinking they were going to be. Roughly the size of a golf ball. The service was splendid. There was one waiter and bartender working while we ate but you wouldn't have guessed that by how fast our drinks and food came out. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us, while waiting on every other table in the building. If you are passing through town this is definitely a place to try out!
