Fish and Chips and Chicken Wings
Laurel C.

The view of Lake Pleasant was beautiful . Ordered Fish and Chips and Chicken Wings ... delicious . I would come here again

Menu

Beautiful location, remote and quiet in off-season (Oct/Nov), and friendly staff. We were too late for food. Keep in mind this is inside the Lake Pleasant Scorion Bay area. It is BELOW the parking area. There is Handi accessible elevators or stairs to take down to the marina and a daypass to LakePleasant park is $7/day.

Burger

Casual setting right on the water . Burger and O rings perfect, hot. Salad , tasty . Bloody Mary, so good . Server super attentive, would definitely recommend. Went in the daytime, but I'd be curious to what it would be like at night.

I'll start by saying we are not boat people so we had no idea how to find the restaurant. It was an adventure. It was so relaxing to be eating on the water. The food was really really good. My husband got the fish sandwich (no idea what kind of fish). He said it wasn't greasy at all and seasoned perfectly. I have the fried chicken special and it was also outstanding. I really enjoyed the sweet potato's. The staff were extremely friendly and knew the menu well. We will be returning.

Fish tacos

Cute spot on the lake. Decent menu. Live sports on TV. Friendly staff. Loads of outdoor seating. Lots of parking. Fun spot to visit on a sunny day.

The boys and I decided to make a day out of it and checked out the water toys, Paqua Park, and of course, the grill. Upon arrival, we had a bit of trouble locating the restaurant as we didn't see any signs in the parking lot. However, we eventually found our way down the pier and stumbled upon the restaurant next to the convenience store. We opted to sit on the outside patio and were treated to a stunning view overlooking the lake. My son and his friends were in heaven with their fish and chips and fish sandwiches - they barely left me a fry! I went for the Shrimp Ginger Sesame Salad, and it was not only tasty but also a generous portion. Our waitress was a delight - friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. With the boys on summer break, we've been exploring different dining spots, and Scorpion Bay Grill is definitely one we'll be revisiting. The boys are already eager to try out the Paqua Park obstacle course on our next visit.

After a nice hike on burro trail we stopped in for a drink and some appetizers! This place is good for a stop over for hikers and boaters! You can order in advance for pick up or you have a seat on the patio overlooking the lake! The restaurant also offers indoor seating for cold days! There is also an indoor and outdoor bar area! The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu that has bar type food! There are salads and healthy options too! Also the place offers an extensive drink menu! We just enjoyed a couple flatbreads! The Korean chicken flat bread was unusual and had good flavors! We also ordered the margarita flatbread which was more traditional! Given we are in Arizona I had to order the prickly pear margarita! The margarita was nice and tart: not overly sweet! Lastly our waiter provided great service! Worth a stop if you are int area for the view alone!

Dam good Fish tacos
Eric M.

I took the family out to lake pleasant and stumbled across this restaurant. There is not a lot of food options around here but this one hit the spot! I wasn't expecting much since we are in Arizona and it would be hard to keep fish fresh but this place blew my mind. We ordered the dam good fish tacos which came with battered Cod, cabbage, pico de gallo and coleslaw. The ingredients sound simple but the flavors were on point and the fish was so fresh! They also give a big portion of the fish. When I think tacos I think small bite size but these were really huge tacos. It also comes with either your choice of tater tots, fries, coleslaw, onion rings or potato salad. My family and I enjoyed eating here and really wanted to dig in on other food items like the fish sandwich and the marina club. I know people like bringing food to eat at the lake but if you didn't bring anything, I recommend stopping by and trying their food. Really good food and the service was phenomenal

a boat docked at the dock

What a scenic view! Great place to catch lunch on a sunny day, indoors or out, you'll get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Service started out great but slowed considerably as the crowd expanded. I had the Greek salad with chicken. It was plentiful and delicious. Chicken cooked as requested. Veggies all fresh. House Greek dressing was the perfect match. My husband ordered the pretzel plate - the salt and garlic pretzel were very good. Garlic the best of the two. The parmesan pretzel was just weird tasting. We both had local beers, and Amber ale and a hazy IPA. Both very good. As mentioned, service slowed terribly and a hour lunch turned to two. They were super busy and likely understaffed. Only place to go in the area, but it's worth it!

quesadilla and fish & chips
Robbie M.

Such a fun hidden gem! There's no sign on the road for this place, and I would have never expected to find a restaurant inside a regional park. I guess it's really mainly for the locals! The only reason we knew of its existence was because we ran across some people on a hiking trail and they mentioned they had heard some wild donkeys in the distance while eating at the restaurant. To get there, head to Scorpion Bay and park anywhere up there. Find the path down. There's a long steep staircase, or you can take this fun ski lift/elevator sort of thing. Keep walking all the way down the pier. Once at the restaurant, customer service was great! We wanted a table outside in the sun, and they didn't have any except for a little area that was considered more of a lounge and wasn't supposed to have table service, but they basically gave us table service anyway. All the food on everyone's table looked great, and the same was true of the food that we ourselves ordered. We got a quesadilla, which was one of the cheaper things on the menu for $14, and it was stuffed with different flavors and we were really happy with that purchase! We also got the $21 fish and chips. Good, but not as much food as I would have thought for the high price. But just the customer service and the environment was a really nice experience. Our kids enjoyed the ducks that were walking around right outside the patio area.

Wild burro at lake pleasant

Decided to go for a hike atLake Pleasant. We stopped in at scorpion Bay Grill the place was very busy with a lot of tourist this time of year however we were able to get seating at the bar. The waitress staff was very friendly and attentive. They also didn't seem precious about which waitress was supporting which table. We were approached by about three different waitresses all wanted to make sure that we have been helped and that we were doing OK. I was very impressed because as busy as they were, they were still Very customer service oriented. We ordered the wings at first and they were yummy. We later ordered the sliders which were undercooked and the meat did not taste fresh. When the waitress noticed, we were not eating them. She quickly responded and took them back. She recommended the Ruben, which we ordered next and it was very delicious. The views were amazing you could see Lake Pleasant clearly. And again the staff were amazing. Highly recommend this location.

Visiting Arizona friends and they had heard about this place, so we headed there and we were very happy we did. Park then take the stairs or ride their little funicular down to the dock. I think mainly used to transport your stuff to boats to spend the day, but fun little ride. So many activities available. Rental boats, jet skis, and more! Beautiful lake but due to recent storms there was debris floating around. But still beautiful! We went just for lunch but I know our friends will be back. Lunch was delicious and service by Amy was great. Helpful and patient and answered questions about the place, being first timers. Amy did say it gets very busy during summer but I think so worth a visit anytime!

The view is nice but food is so so. I had the fish tacos and wasn't a fan. The fries and tots were good. Service is fine, friendly enough

We…read moreordered the chicken tenders and fries for our son, buffalo chicken wings that were perfectly tangy and absolutely delicious, and finished with a medium-rare ribeye that was tender and mouthwatering. What really elevated our night, though, was Martin's exceptional service. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcomed from start to finish. He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing, and his energy honestly made the whole experience that much better. We'll definitely be back for the food, but Martin is the reason this visit felt memorable. He's a star in our eyes.
