We had plenty of time and I thought that we'd both enjoy a little exploration around West Lake Okoboji first. Duke's (in the former Woody's Pizza building) is now closed on Monday and while turning around through Arnold's Park, I noticed Bob's on the water right next to the Fillenwarth Beach Resort. Bob's is casual and inexpensive. There's a limited menu selection of Hot Dogs, Sloppy Joes (called the Varsity), Chicken Tenders, Fries, Onion Rings, and the like. You order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. My Son and I decided to sit on the deck and enjoyed a wonderful view of the Lake (and a Regatta in progress) on this gorgeous "not too hot or humid" day. The food itself is probably 3 stars, but for where you are, and why I'm here, this total experience makes me a fan.

We went there and waited outside the window for 5 minutes because the OPEN sign was on. We went around to the door thinking maybe you order inside. The cook said you order at the window. We stood there an additional 2 minutes with no one coming to take our order. I opened the door as we left and said we'll go elsewhere and never be back. We went across the street to The Hutt.

Either things have changed significantly for the worse OR the locals aren't too demanding in the areas of hot dog excellence or the loose meat (known as a tavern regionally) arts. Don't even get me started on the poorktenderloin (spelling intentional) sandwich we tried as well. Suffice to say, like everything else we tried it was very lackluster. Beware of current day exploitation of glory days reputation!

I came here to meet up with some "yes we're old" high school classmates, and had a fine time catching up.
