Let me start with I love boats and keep one down at the lake... not a disclaimer, just a fact that is suppose to reiterate how much time I spend here. Ambiance is A number 1! Everyone takes super good care of me, Cindy and Phil especially! Food is WAY better than you would expect for a bar on the water... and they had me with just being on the water.Low key dive bar on the lake... if that's your vibe, this is the place! Heavy pours, friendly service and bar food that's a notch above, what's not to like? read more

Fast, friendly service with a relaxing and pretty view of the harbor at Lake Mead. Cannot beat the atmosphere. Food was pretty standard, salads, sandwiches, wings. You come for the waterfront vibes. read more

It was a chill ambiance i think because they were about to close but the service was immaculate. Our server was so willing to take a picture of us, was very nice, and she answered all our questions since it was the first time for many of us. The food is mid but that Ranch?!?!?!?! It was homemade and it tasted like Love in a cup. My mom raves about the wings. She has no problem driving all the way over here just for those wings. Perfect place to go when family comes to visit. You can feed ducks, take pictures everywhere, and enjoy some food. We went on a day they were doing karaoke. Forgot the day of the week :) read more

This place is pretty cute on the inside. Reminds me of an old dive bar. There is plenty of seating and the staff is nice. The food honestly is what kills it for me. The food was just not that great. We ordered fish and chips, the shrimp basket and mozzarella sticks for the whole table. The mozzarella sticks were cold, the shrimp were over fried and lukewarm and the cod was also overcooked/overfried. Their garlic fries were really good, that was the star of the show. But the onion rings my husband got instead of the "chips" were lukewarm and not great. It felt like most of the food was just freezer food reheated. I don't think we will be returning but it was nice to at least experience it once. read more

Food was delicious as you can tell my sandwich was almost gone before I could even take the picture, French toast was amazing and so was the coffee. We tried there Bloody Mary's that our server said made in house those were super delicious. It has a nice view of the lake and boats and the walk to get to the restaurant was also a great experience. Waitress were also very friendly and helpful read more

10/10 experience... but don't come here for the food! Adorable restaurant, basically the only one on lake mead except the seasonal dinner cruise. Parking in a large marina lot. Walk down the dock to find the restaurant. Sit outside, enjoy a drink. They have nearly a full bar. The girls who work here are super nice. The zucchini fries were decent. Just don't expect much out of the food, but that's not what you should be here for. Amazing place to relax and enjoy the lake views. read more

I love this place. I remember coming here as a kid. I don't love pay $25.00 to get in to have lunch. We ordered salt and pepper wing/tater tots and garlic cheese curds. Everything we had was really good. Service was great. They also sell popcorn so you can feed the ducks and fish. We had a great time. read more

A fairly large cafe right on the water, plenty of seating indoors & outside. The view was very nice, looking out to the boats tied up at the marina & seeing the calm waters of Lake Mead. But, it is a bit of a walk from the gravel parking lot, especially if it's a hot day. The food was wonderful & the service was great. I went with the Island Chicken sandwich, while the Mrs went with their signature Titanic. We both had tater tots. Hot & crispy, they were a great side dish. The have a full bar too. The interior decor was very clean & neat. From the pirate near the front to the diving helmet & then the surfboards & signs on the walls, all reflected a water motif. All in all, we were happy we stopped in. read more

What the hell happened here. This place used to have fairly good food at decent prices with cheap drinks. Now it has average food, the prices have gone up and the drinks are just okay....and they charge you for the mixer (so if you have a rum and diet coke, they charge you for the rum and then charge you a buck or two for the soda). Who does that? Wish it would return to its former self, but I don't see that coming. read more

Loved the atmosphere! It was so relaxing to sit outside surrounded by water and beautiful scenery. The kids enjoyed feeding the fish and watching the ducks. The burgers were excellent and had a flame broiled flavor. I'd score the salads lower than the burgers, as the salmon and chicken were both very dry on the salads we ordered. Salad dressings were good and helped make up the difference. The service was excellent! read more

Very nice cafe right at water's edge with plenty of seating, very friendly waitresses, when it's warmer weather there is a large outdoor patio..fun to watch the many ducks swim & stroll right beside you. All our food was very good both times Ive been here. We had hamburgers onion rings, buffalo chicken wrap, & grilled chicken sandwich all perfectly prepared & tasty. Kaitlin was our server & she was professional & friendly. Cindy also took some photos of our group...both very kind. I will surely come again as it was very pleasant place to hang at the harbor. read more

Yeah, Buoyyy! Excellent food and service! This nautical-themed restaurant sits right on the water of Lake Mead. Their menu offers diner-like options as well as seafood. My daughters completely finished their mac and cheese and chicken fingers from the kids' menu while I did the same to my Grilled Cheese (one of my favorite meals) on my choice of rye. YUM! For their included sides, I went for their amazingly good potato salad. My mother-in-law and hubs also enjoyed their meals and beer. A lovely little sail-abration! NOTES/TIPS: **Wheelchair-accessible. Clean bathrooms. Casual vibes but a shirt and footwear required. **You can feed the ducks and fish by the dock outside. **Parking is very easy before the dock along the sandy area in a vast lot. read more

Mood - The Start of a New Adventure I love going on mini roadtrips. I am that person who fits 36 hours of stuff to do within a 24 hour timeline. Live life to the fullest and accept an adventure is my motto. That is where this restaurant came into play On this day I wanted to go visit the marina and and check out the levels a Lake Mead. it always puts things into perspective when you get to see something for yourself. Upon entering was greeted and led to set at any table we chose. Menus were given and drink order was taken. There were some questions that were asked and everything was answered with ease. Opted for the Titanic their Signature Garlic Parm Fries, and the Western with Tots. Everything was prepared wonderfully. However those Fries really stood out top and center in my opinion. Interior is pretty big. There are several table and chair arrangements. It can def accommodate small parties to more larger ones as well. It was very clean and music was playing in the background. It is very marina inspired deco and great to look at as you are conversating with your party. There is outdoor seating as well. Would recommend - pricing is reasonable. Staff are very courteous and hospitable. My table was continually checked on. The have daily specials that are offered as well. Location is Lake Mead - now it is not free to get into Lake Mead unless you are military or have a special pass. There is a fee for a daily pass or you can buy the annual pass which will get you into State Parks, and BLM lands ect.... This is why I said this is the start of my next adventure. Please pay attention to the gravel road pictures I took for the parking. If you are on the other side where it is mainly dirt road, I would not suggest using a car to get over as the sand is soft. read more

This is a very laid back establishment. It's just a small restaurant on the marina that absolutely has that 'small town' feel. The staff are friendly and courteous, but are sometimes hard to track down. The food prices are very decent, and the food itself had good taste and quality. Overall, a very good spot to grab a bite to each other a drink to relax. read more

Very friendly staff. Before talking about the food, we have to consider two factors, 1- the restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere 2- prices are low. The sea food was frozen and not fresh, but the drink was very good. read more

This stop makes a trip to Lake Mead feel complete. Visited twice now and will be back. Casual waterfront dining with good service. Generally attracts people coming off the water but a good stop for anyone trying to enjoy the lake as a roadside stop too. The outside looks kind of like a shipping container and then the inside has nautical wooden finishes including pirate and sailing decor. The restaurant and bathrooms are slightly dirty but that comes with the territory. Lots of menu options, beer on draft, wine, and a cocktail list. The wings were pretty good. We got the Asian and hot Buffalo wings, extra saucy, all flats, with blue cheese and the IPA they had on draft. On another visit, the Hippie Juice cocktail was decent but I would not recommend the Island Sunset as it has pretty overwhelming mixers. There are a ton of ducks, other water birds, carp and catfish swarming the docks. People feed them bread and popcorn. They're really used to being fed and follow you, opening their mouths for food. It's all a bit strange but a good photo opportunity. Some people lay on the dock and try to grab the fishies too (unsuccessfully). Sharing some information that I hope is helpful: - There are 2 marina restaurants and both have the address 490 Horsepower Cove. One is called Harbor House, which I am reviewing. There is a restaurant that is called Boat House that is a nearby restaurant on a separate dock. The ownership is the same and there are similarities in the menu options but different hours. When facing the water, the Boat House is on the right hand side dock. Meanwhile the Harbor House Restaurant is on the left hand side dock with a sign on the awning saying "Las Vegas Boat Harbor." I included a marked up version of the satellite view from Google in case that helps. - The posted hours for both the marina restaurant vary quite a bit with the seasons and demand. At the time of writing this post, I have included a picture of the posted hours. The hours online are highly variable for both restaurants and not reflective of the actual hours. read more

Awesome customer service. Very friendly and accommodating. They give 15% military discount too! Thank you so much. We sat outside by the dock and watched the ducks begging us for food. Lol. We ordered beef quesadilla, seafood platter (fish, shrimps, calamari), and sample platter (mozzarella sticks, mini corn dogs, onion rings, battered sausage, fried pickles). It was oookay, fried stuff you know nothing too special. The quesadilla was the best thing we ordered, but it wasn't too memorable or anything. I'd say it's a okay place to eat if you are around and hungry. Great staff! read more

There weren't a lot of choices around this area, and we didn't bring a picnic. The fried cheese and pickle fries were great. The salads were nothing special. The burgers were decent. What was great was the location right on Lake Mead. We loved walking out with the ducks and fish following us. read more

Cool location but the food is not good. My friend Ordered regular and seafood samplers that came soaked in oil that tells me it's reached its end of life two years ago. Fun part is he was going to give it to the giant carpe that feed by the docks but told him it would kill them. Bought some popcorn instead and fed the fish. Staff was fine, friendly etc. Beer was cold but Flat. Make sure you don't show up hungry or thirsty. read more

Have been coming here for years and the service is unmatched! My family always feels like family when we come in because the girls are all so attentive and helpful. The Mai Tais are a must at night and the bloody's in the morning. You also have to get the mozzarella sticks and the new garlic cheese curds!! The lake would not be the same without this place and so many amazing memories were made from here. Definitely stop by for a drink if you're going out to the lake. read more

This is a cute casual place to eat on the water which is rare in the desert. The food is not fancy in the least so if you want a basket of fries and a sandwich, it's perfect. Wish they had a fence around the dock because it's great for kids to see the ducks and fish, but as a parent I have constant paranoia that they will fall in! Otherwise good, cheap, casual eats. :) read more

Hanging out at Harbor House Cafe reminds me of the Otis Redding song "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay." Lake Mead isn't exactly a bay, but it is the closest thing to it in the Mojave Desert. Harbor House Cafe is part of the Las Vegas Boat Harbor marina. It is a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by the Lake Mead water and boats. Harbor House Cafe serves the typical cafe food during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a full-service restaurant with friendly waitresses. Harbor House Cafe is more than a restaurant. It is also a bar. They serve beer in cans (domestic $3), bottles (domestic $3 and imports $4), buckets (5 alike cans $12), and draft Michelob Ultra ($4) and Shock Top ($5.50). It is a bar that is over and above just serving beer. They serve cocktails that include Bahama Mama, Beach Bull, Naked Pirate, Sand in your Shorts, Tropical Sunrise, and Blue Coconut Margaritas. Plus they also serve wine. Today when I hiked round-trip between the Hacienda (might be Hoover Dam Lodge by the time you read this) and Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Harbor House Cafe was my half-way stop. It is a very tranquil spot to take a break on Lake Mead with a cold one. I ordered a Michelob Ultra draft in a plastic cup that I took to the patio where I felt like I was sitting on the dock of the bay. I enjoyed feeling the gentle breeze of Lake Mead, hearing the seagulls, and taking in the boats. I felt like I was transplanted back to Long Island. The docks surrounding and including the Harbor House Cafe is a prime waterfowl viewing spot. Waterfowl from ducks to geese to what looked like a rooster are the free entertainment here. There was no shortage of an entertaining waterfowl coming into view. Just like any good entertainer, waterfowl brightens my mood. I timed it so I left Harbor House Cafe at sundown. Being a hiker into picture-taking, the sun coming down over Lake Mead was a nice way to end my break. There is relatively few places in the Mojave Desert where I feel like I am sitting on the dock of the bay. Harbor House Cafe gives this experience with friendly service. And I give it 4 stars. read more

I walked in and our bartender Tayler was amazing, friendly and great conversations with us. She would absolutely be the only reason I will ever come back.... Then this lady Jannett (I asked for her name) came up and started cleaning the vaccum on the cutting board. I made a comment that she was cleaning it on the cutting area and prep area for drinks. Her comment back was "oh nothings dirty in this" and referenced the vaccume.... She did clean up the area, however the drink garnish containers were open. read more

Terrible service, if you aren't white they'll basically ignore you, service was slow and the food was wildly mediocre.

I honestly think this is a hidden gem Inly if you have a National Park pass or willing to pay every time you enter I would say this is a place you should definitely try. This was our first time here stuff I really friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and full of flavor. Wish this was some thing closer to where I live. read more

I was told several times, don't go there. Well, I'm the one that has to learn on their own. It's our anniversary and I was looking forward to a night out with dinner on the patio. We waited over 10 minutes to be sat. No one came to greet us after the cook made eye contact with us, some guy in a beanie was stacking dishes and napkins, made contact. The bar made contact. We had to go to the bar area with my 8 year old, just to be told the grill is down only serving fried foods. Which is odd because we just watched the cook make pizzas. read more

We've been here a handful of times trying different items off the menu but now we always go for one thing. The philly cheesesteak fries!

They are enjoyable and attentive if you aren't being a butthead. read more

We were visiting Vegas and it was dead so we decided to go look at Hoover Dam. We were able to walk the property but all tours were canceled due to Covid and the idiot Governor Of Nevada. So we were all hungry and drove over to Lake Mead and found this place. Our server Cindy was very friendly and we had a great time talking about several issues such as the effects of Covid or government over-reach and fees. The burgers are huge and the tea fresh. It hit the spot before we drove back to Vegas. read more

For the price you can't beat it! Service is impeccable and so accommodating! Great atmosphere!

Honestly I seriously question the managers or whoever hires the staff at this place. Having a slip, we come to this place a lot and every single time, Ericka is talking about the other employees to other co workers and how they are horrible at their job or don't know what they are doing in front of customers. Its becoming a joke between our friends really, that when we go she will be working and we can hear all the drama. All joking aside It's disgusting that she thinks that's appropriate around customers. The only good thing they have done lately is hire Karsten. She is amazing and happy and helpful. She is the POSITIVE person you want waiting on you. read more
