The food was absolutely amazing! Our waitress Carissa ( I think) was very sweet and the service was speedy. I highly recommend the salmon and the garlic mashed potatoes. This has been our favorite restaurant we’ve tried here so far! The goldfish in the hallway might appreciate a bigger tank though, haha.

Great for locals, long time caving owners and first timers. Chicken was crispy but a touch bland. Potatoes and asparagus were outstanding.

Was recommended to eat here while we were in town, you will want a reservation if it’s a weekend or you may not get in. We got an appetizer, spinach artichoke dip, which was delicious. It took awhile to get our dinner as it was busy, I got the broasted chicken and it was amazing - very light breading and very juicy chicken. The twice baked potato was okay, side salad was pretty sad. Other dishes we got were the shrimp fettuccine, my daughter thought was really good but rich. The prime rib was recommended and it was ok, my husband liked it. Good for families, but most of the clientele were older groups of people (60+ yrs). All indoor seating and very dark inside, more of a romantic atmosphere. Good food!!

Wow still I have taste in my mouth food was so tasty. I will start with before I decided to go to Outrigger restaurant normally I read reviews that wasn’t very helpful,which I can say from my personal experience. A lot of people was complaining about look of restaurant for me it is authentic and I like it. Food we started with appetizer which was pita bread with artichoke spinach dip my family love it. Main dish was scallops pasta, chicken Alfredo, pasta, and ribeyes. We was so happy when we tasted our food,who prepared our food is magician. Scallops in my pasta was prepared with a lot of love this pasta for sure is taking first place in USA with how tasty it is. All food was prepared great but for sure scallops pasta is my favorite ,people who preparing food doing great job!! Service was really nice,polite and friendly. Restaurant have parking lot I do recommend reservation. Everything was good,service is excellent food is great!Totally recommend!!!

We stopped in the Outrigger restaurant on a Thursday evening without a reservation. The hostess was able to seat us right away. Our waitress Olivia greeted us right away and took our beverage and appetizer order. The menu has lots of seafood and other typical proteins..chicken, beef. Good side dish options also. I chose grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and the vegetable medley. The salmon was grilled to medium just how I like it. My wife had the Walleye with homemade sweet potato fries. She enjoyed both and gave them a thumbs up. Not everyone does sweet potato fries the way she likes them. Service was excellent. The staff worked like a team and gave everyone in the restaurant eyes on attention without intrusiveness. We will return to try desserts at another time.

A wonderful place to dine-in at with super friendly and welcoming staff. I had the boasted chicken and it was so tasty, diner salad which was very fresh/crisp , baked potato and my Appetizer, was the best onion rings, ever. The Dessert was a 3 layered cake with Raspberry & cream cheese filling and a lite Sprinkle of coconut on top, very light and super delicious. The service & food was above “excellent “ wonderful place to dine! So if you’re in okoboji on Highway 71 you better stop into this place, you won’t regret it! Called outrigger’s.

First visit. Was highly recommended and lived up to it! We had the delicious broasted chicken and the grilled walleye. Have never had a superior fish dish! Perfectly seasoned; a total delight to eat. The chicken was perfect as was the asparagus. Great service from the hostess/owner and our waitress! This will be a stop on every future trip to Okoboji!
