We decided to eat dinner at the restaurant when our son and his fishing partner decided to go home early. It was about an hour before closing on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and there was only one family in the dining room when we got...there. The last time we were there, it was so busy we had to eat in the bar. Their menu is amazing! They include a copy of it when you check in at the RV park and the whole weekend I kept debating whether or not I should eat the food I had or go there. I am so glad we decided to dine out. The staff took amazing care of us! We ordered the special and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend dining there, day or night. I can’t wait to go back and have breakfast!More

First off, the view from the upstairs patio is just beautiful. The Delta looked amazing watching the boats go by with the shimmering water. Now for the bad news... the food is mediocre at best. We paid over $40 for two sandwiches which would be...fine if they were good. The service was also not great. Fries were cold and the beef was dry and overcooked.More

We stayed there for a week and the location is okay for boaters since it has direct access to the Delta however there are many drawbacks. Drawback #1- it is in a area that does not have any stores so be prepared to drive far...for anything including groceries. The tiny on site store has nothing when it comes to groceries, food or anything really relevant. #2- No Cell Service and very spotty (crappy wifi) #3- Two out of the 7 days the power was out and for over 8 hours each time!! These were the 2 hottest days and it was miserable plus upon asking for a discount or credit the response was a hard no! #4- pool is small and not well maintained and very dirty. You could see the bottom had a layer of dirt which apparently never got vacuumed out #5- Some site have ZERO shade and grass is mostly dry and dead. Thankfully we were able to move our site to another that offered some relief from the sun under a shady tree THANK GOD!! Had this nor happened I really think we would have been miserable for the 7 days we stayed.More

Six of us had a great dinner here, with four different selections from the menu ordered. Everyone was very happy with their dinner from a very large NY steak, to the personal pizza, fish & chips and calamari steak. Service was excellent, pleasant and went...out of the way to please us. Dessert was yummy too... the next time we're camping at the Sugar Barge Resort & Marina we'll return to the restaurant for another meal!More

What a fun place to grab a drink or a bite to eat. Great view of the water and as a bonus you can get there by land of by water, plenty of dock space to park your kayak, boat or jet ski.

Went with friends to celebrate a birthday on Friday afternoon. Best calamari I've ever had, perfect garlic friends, and wonderful burgers and fish & chips.

Great river views throughout restaurant. Very friendly service and food pretty good. This is kind of the go to place on the island and has a lot of potential. We visited in off season so I am sure business picks up in the summer.

Great service friendly next camp ground which isn't as nice very noisy. They have a 10 o'clock curfew that they fail to enforce. But they do enforce the the launch fee. And it has gone up by 5 dollars with no improvement to the ramp.

Great place to get lunch or dinner! Seating upstairs on the deck offering umbrellas, a full bar, full lunch and dinner service and live music on weekends. Beautiful views and good service. Drinks are decent and the food is good. Fun crowd. Come by boat...or car! During the winter the restaurant is only open on certain days. They offer a full bar and inside seating with beautiful views.More

Stopped in for drinks with my wife. Bartender was no where to be found. After waiting 5+ min for someone to show up, finally she appeared. I found the service to be super slow but the people are nice. The outside patio upstairs offers up...some great views of the delta while you can sit and talk at a table.More

We had happy hour drinks which were very good and came back for dinner the next night. Great food, my wife and I started out with the Caesar salads which were HUGE! Very crisp and lots of cheese with the dressing on the side excellent...choice. We shared the Salmon with Dill butter over wilted spinach and scalloped potatoes. Delicious!! Will be back in June for another couple night stay and can't wait to eat here again.More

First let me say most of the staff was great! But you know what they say about a few bad apples! first the balding woman behind the front desk. not a very pleasant person! Her and the management could use several classes on customer service!...this is not a family place! we had drunk fisherman urinating in my yard.partying and drinking only heavy on weekends . its all good no one seems to care! My daughter Disturbed a neighbor one night and the next day I was evicted ! that doesn't sound very family friendly right! The guy that urinated in my yard was still there. I was told by the balding lady that something would be done about it. Nothing was done at all! beware of of the restaurant and bar the food is horrible and the service is horrible. We called in an order and was put on hold for 45 minutes finally I drove up to the restaurant and order the food myself and reminded the bartender to hang up the phone. Worth mentioning is the mosquitoes will eat you alive in this park I'm not so sure that this is the best park on the delta it could fall in the other categoryMore

Many large windows looking out to the river. Waitress gave us good service. It was a beautiful day and we wanted to be by the water. Food as expected for the area. Nothing to call you back. The thing that disappoints though is that it...is open such limited days that we decided to not camp in the RV Park with our group as we would have liked to walk to the restaurant. Go for the river and just enjoy that.More

I don't know, they have a separate bar area from the restaurant but I'm not sure if they offer music?
