    Unassuming with great service, cold cold beer, awesome popcorn, and a nice array of food for lunch or dinner.

    # Bouy's Waterfront Bar and Grill: A Floating Paradise…read more Nestled on a floating dock, Bouy's Waterfront Bar and Grill offers a unique dining and entertainment experience that's hard to beat. Since its recent renovation and rebranding, this waterfront gem has become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. ## Atmosphere The highlight of Bouy's is undoubtedly its location. Perched on a floating dock, patrons are treated to stunning waterfront views that change with the tides. The gentle rocking of the dock adds to the nautical charm, creating an ambiance that's both relaxing and exciting. ## Entertainment Bouy's really shines when it comes to live music and dancing. The venue regularly hosts bands that keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. It's the perfect spot for those looking to let loose and enjoy a night out on the water. ## Drinks While we haven't had the chance to try the food yet, the bar at Bouy's doesn't disappoint. Their drink menu offers a variety of options to suit all tastes, making it an ideal spot for a casual evening out with friends. ## People-Watching One of the unexpected pleasures of Bouy's is the diverse crowd it attracts. From casual boaters pulling up to the dock to dressed-up diners, the mix of patrons adds to the lively atmosphere. Watching boats of all sizes come and go is an entertainment in itself. ## Food Although we haven't personally tried the food, the menu looks promising. Based on the dishes we've seen served to other patrons, the food appears appetizing and well-presented. It's definitely on our list to try on our next visit. ## Overall Impression Bouy's Waterfront Bar and Grill offers a perfect blend of waterfront views, live entertainment, and a vibrant atmosphere. While we can't yet vouch for the food, the drinks and ambiance alone make it worth a visit. It's an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy a unique night out, whether you're in the mood for dancing, relaxing with a drink, or simply soaking in the waterfront views. Tip: Given its popularity, especially on nights with live music, it might be wise to arrive early to secure a good spot. Final Verdict: A must-visit for its unique floating dock setting, lively atmosphere, and promising menu. We're eagerly looking forward to our next visit to finally sample the food offerings!

    4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $32 03/28/2026 We saw that Arcadia was a Top 10 Finalist for Iowa Burger of the Year, so knew that we needed to give it a try - and last night was our opportunity. Arcadia is a short drive north of Grimes in a newly developed area of Polk City just after you cross over the long bridge over Saylorville Lake. We were impressed with the new building as we drove up (told that it opened about 1.5 years ago) along with the lively, open atmosphere & modern decor as we entered the building. We started our meal with a couple of local craft tap beers - a nice selection was available. Since we came for the Burger of the Year contender, the Smashburger was one of our orders (see picture) and we opted for the Fish Tacos as our second meal (see picture). Both were delicious and highly recommended. While I offer my Kudos for offering Marshmallow Creme for a dipping sauce with the sweet potato fries (we haven't found many places that do this...and we LOVE it), my only knock is that it was way too watered down and runny - with most of it running off the dipped fries rather than sticking to them. We finished with a Salted Carmel Old Fashion...and yes, it too was delicious and highly recommended! More information on the drinks and Happy Hour specials can be found at: HappyHourDesMoines .

    We've visited this place three or four times now and feel like it's worth the drive to Polk City…read more Today we decided to try their burger, which has recently been recognized as the best in central Iowa. It is worth the hype! Delicious! It was on our table almost as fast as we ordered! Our server was attentive and kept our water glasses full. We had a couple of cocktails and they were excellent too. They have a mix of booths and tables, and you can dine at the bar if you choose. The place is in a newer building and very clear. The parking lot is shared with a few other businesses but there is ample parking. Check it out,

    4.0* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* 06/11/2023 Had coupons since hearing about someone going to a live band here and following on Facebook - and were in the area after Mass one evening, so gave it a try. The first challenge was finding the place. While our phone map took us to the entrance...it isn't super clear how to get to the restaurant and we had a couple of false starts. First at the marina office near the road and then we turned around on the winding path before getting to the restaurant thinking it was leading nowhere. Just keep driving - you will eventually get there... Once we finally found the restaurant, the view was great and probably the largest draw - hard to top relaxing at a table with food and drink while watching the lake and boaters. The facilities are what you might expect for a seasonal dock business with public access...functional, simplistic and a little crude - not what you would find in even an average place on land. With that said, we found the drink selection and the food to be above average. We each ordered burgers (see pictures) to use our coupon. We both shared samples with each other and found them both to be solid - soft, moist buns, fresh toppings, crispy fries and good flavor.

    A cool place to grab a drink but not the food …read more Extremely overpriced for what you get and the quality is weak at best. Stopped by last Saturday with friends and we ordered a chicken wrap, burger, chicken nachos, two iced teas and a water, plus a tip was over $60!! Insane. My chicken nachos were probably the worst nachos I've ever had. It tasted like cold, canned chicken, not even seasoned, and the cheese was a cold, thick-consistency of Cheese Wiz; I left most of it on the plate. Super disappointing.
