Walking in the door says have a seat, no one said anything to me, both servers and bartender looked right at me and said nothing. Waited 15 min for her to simply ask me what i was gonna drink. Had to ask for a.menu. i assumed the wings would be sauced but they werent and had to then ask for ranch as well. I got a plastic cup instead of a glass for a cocktail. Was not impressed with service and since it was a tuesday and there was no one there after 7 it should not have been like that. I suppose only during the summer does it normally get reviewed. Sorry not here on vacay.

Great place along the lake with an amazing patio on a wooden dock. This is a great place to catch some sun and enjoy Okoboji.

The food is good with great appetizers and pizza, but I personally recommend the Lue Burger - which I pictured. The fries are good as well, but it's hard to top the Lue Burger.

Next time you're in Okoboji, give The Ritz a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

The atmosphere is as great as the service. Good music and GREAT Bloody Mary 🍻 It's a must stop!

Great waterfront restaurant and bar that has been a staple of Okoboji for 35 years. Known for their large cocktails served in a fish bowl to drink out of, on Sunday they offer a Bloody Mary bar where you can build your own. We loaded ours with shrimp, bacon, cheese and pickles and used their homemade bloody Mary mix. We went with a lot of their appetizers and the favorites of the group were the chicken quesadillas, pulled pork nachos and the crab Rangoon.

A little over priced but decent. Our pretzel and cheese dip came out cold. We also ordered a St. Marteen pizza. The crust was very thick and made it really doughy. Not bad but I prefer slightly thinner. The drinks were good but since the menus have no prices we had to wait to find out they were $20&$25. That was for the smaller drink size. Be prepared to spend money if you are drinking.

Loved that they had live music but it was really loud. Hard to hear the server which was standing right next to me. It was a point and order situation. Be ready to stay a while and it takes a long time to get everything. We normally spend 45min in a location and stayed here an hour and half because that is how long it took to get our items.

We met friends there who had been raving about the pizza. We tried the pizza with the cauliflower crust, and it was excellent! We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the weather when we were there. It was packed, but we were able to find a table and a spot with our 2 dogs, which they were very welcoming. The waitress knew our friends and she was a lot of fun. I couldn't decide what I wanted to drink, but she was very helpful and patient, even though she was running her rear end off. I wish I would have caught her name because I would definitely give her a shout-out. We will definitely be going back.

Pretty expensive for what you get but the views are pretty sweet. They have a great view of the lake, we were there during ice fishing time. But yeah, probably will just go for drinks and apps next time.
