As customer Janet B. described, the experience is not just about the food but also about the fun! From shuttling you from the parking area to an arcade and a dance floor, every element is designed for enjoyment. The flavorful burnt ends and fried jalapeños are particular highlights, recommended by many for their delightful taste and portion sizes.

Great food and fun atmosphere ! We had 9 in our party and we only had to wait 15 minutes tops to get seated. We all had our drinks and food in a very timely manner, it was 4 on a Saturday afternoon April 5 and was very busy. Our wonderful server was Ms LeBaron!!
Super fun restaurant on the RV Resort side of the lake. You grab a golf cart shuttle down to the restaurant and marina area which was fun & not a bad wait. The restaurant is more of a bar atmosphere and has great music and a dance area. There's also a nice arcade area. Loved the soldier table placed in a well traveled area. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the weather while we were there. Be aware that boats pull right up next to the tables and they like to 'entertain' with their own music & shenanigans so if you'd rather avoid that definitely take an indoor table. Same great menu as the other Dillon's and burgers are big enough to share especially if you start with an appetizer. The burnt ends are fantastic and highly recommend the fried jalapeños. There is a small store on the marina as well for any essential item you may need. Alyssa was a terrific server & super fun.
Idk why I never left a review for this place ?? The food is ok. We went to watch the jokers play on Sunday. We really like their music. The service is always good and we love how the restaurant is right on the lake. Be prepared to pay 9 bucks to get into the lake area to park. I'm told it's so high because it's owned privately?? Sorry no pictures. But try the pretzels.
Fun place to go to get an experience of Lake Pleasant, AZ. Food wa add good. Large selection of BBQ and other fed in items. Selection for all diets. What I learned: Entrance fee: $9.00 per vehicle Park in shuttle lot on top. Take shuttle to dock and restaurants an add shops. Very fun to see the lake and all the boats. Rentals available.
We are new to the area and we heard about this area. We are used to Lakefront , coming from Missouri and Lake of the Ozark's. It was busy inside and we found a place at the bar. The bartender took our drink order quickly and gave us some menu's. They needed more than 2 bartenders because it took awhile to flag her down again to order food. I ordered the beef over mashed potatoes which was delicious. The reason for the 4 stars is my wife ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and got a chicken sandwich. We did not say anything as it already took 25 minutes to get our food. Overall a good experience, a little loud with the music but I get it.
