BOT Burger all the way! Came to the restaurant and asked for recommendations - The BOT was…read moresuggested as an award winner and that was enough for me to try it. I'm not trying anything else on the menu, it's been great! The burger is cooked great every time. I love the combination of toppings. It tastes awesome and its now the staple for me when visiting Okoboji! The fries are cheap and nothing special. Reminds me of McDonald's with less salt. I like the vibe. Sometimes the music is really loud and it's hard to have conversations. There is an okay amount of seating. There isn't a ton of back support, so they want you to eat then leave.

Spirit Lake, Iowa…read more The outside of this restaurant is adorable. Picnic tables, and a few four top tables sit randomly underneath a tree with outdoor lights. The inside is cold and modern. Plastic chairs, low back high top chairs and concrete floor. Photos line the wall, mostly of kids and scribble crayon on the back wall It is a walk up where you order your food and then they bring it to the table. The guy taking my order was curt. Asked him if they fry their items in beef tallow. He said no. Then I told him I had a question about the turkey burger. He was gruff and said what do you wanna know. Then I asked him if he had to pick between two sandwiches, which would he pick? He shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps he should not be working the front of the house with his lack of personality. My husband's burger was plain but good. My turkey burger was very dry. The onion jam was absolutely delicious and so was the bun that it was served on. We ordered a side of tater tots. They have a bit of kick and spice to them. However, they were soft. I prefer my tater tots to be cooked to a crunch. Not wet and limp. You can order soda, but it is sold by the can. There are no fountain drinks. There is no table service. In fact, I have not seen one employee walk since we have been here. I would give thus place a 3.8 for food. I would give them one star for service. No, I would never come back

There is a channel between two lakes that borders on the edge of the patio, so the boats are generally quiet passing through.

They were very accommodating and even provided the extra plate (edit: after getting the bill, I noticed either they upped the price of the sandwich from the menu price OR they charge $2 to share a sandwich. Not real thrilled about that part, but truly the only negative)! While having a different taste with the peanut butter, it was surprisingly a delicious sandwich. Chips were crisp for the most part.

What a find! Beautiful hole in wall in downtown Jackson. Walked in @ 1930 and they had posted…read morethat they would be closing @ 2000. Was promptly greeted and shown to a booth. Staff came by with the menu and I ordered a coke (FYI they do have a full bar). They brought the coke and I then ordered the breaded pork tenderloin with sweet potato fries. When my meal arrived I was impressed (see picture). That's no frozen mass produced pork tenderloin, that is a fresh cut, pounded and breaded one right there. Served with all the right fix'ns (pickles, thinly sliced white onion and sliced tomato). Tenderloin was bigger than the bun (a must for a good pork tenderloin). The fries were great too. Don't quote me, but I do believe that they were fresh sweet potato fries as well. I will be back!

We had the bucket of wings, which, of course we could only make a dent in because there were so many wings so well worth the $30. The onion rings were crispy Krunchy and every sauce we got, especially the Carolina sauce was killer. I don't know who smoking their wings, but they know what they're doing. Get here enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the music, by yourself one of their fabulous T-shirts for only 20 bucks, I mean come on who sells T-shirts for $20 anymore. That's just amazing.

Disclaimer: I was the only person there when I arrived on a Tuesday evening…read more I was in the area for work and stopped here for dinner and I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. It has the quintessential downtown bar and grill with weathered small town elements - deep and narrow store front, hardwood flooring, neon signs, large tap selection. I ordered the Billie Jo burger medium rare, and it was the best burger I've had in a long time. Toppings were fresh, cold, and crisp, fries were piping hot. Top notch!

My fav is the weird combo Fourth of July burger which is exactly what you love about summer.

I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.
