    The best food around Okoboji

    If any of you are looking for places to eat that aren't familiar with the area, I highly recommend the Okoboji Store. It's just off of the NE side of the bridge that connects East and West Okoboji lakes. In fact, it even has dock right there that allow you to pull the boat right up to it. It is a little pricey but the food is fantastic! Now, I am a little concerned that it might only be open seasonally, in which case you guys might be showing up too late in the year. I'm not sure.

    Is that the one that is far north on East Okoboji? Above the bridge?

    No west boji before the bridge, have to climb a bunch of stairs and walk between a couple of houses to get there. Really good food always eat breakfast there on practice days at about 900AM.

    Kazzarelis, my favorite, O'farrell sisters and the perk for breakfast are good. Ritz, is my favorite for pizza but, a lot of good places to eat up there and there will be no lines this time of year. Downside as steve said, some may be closed up for the season already.

    Boat parking for Kazzarellis, offarrel sisters, Okoboji store, and Ritz...just to name a few

    You want to give us a breakdown on the menu and then we can Judge the Judges.
