General Tips: In the evening sit on the outside top and watch the River of America just float by.

Extra Comment: This can be a very relaxing eving for dinner. Kind of sits out of the way, but the treees around you and the River of America makes it a lovely place to relax and eat a good burger.

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 3
Service: 2 (really slow)
Atmosphere:
Okay for Children: Yes, outdoor eating
Okay for Couples: Yes, but not romantic
Be Sure to Try: The onion rings.
General tips: There are two levels of shaded seating next to the
river. It is a very pleasant place to eat. There is a staircase
down to the second level of seating. We like to eat down there at
river level. The bathrooms are down there too.
TheMouseForLess tips: The bacon cheeseburger was quite large. I could
have shared the burger and onion rings with someone else. The kids
meals were small in the chicken department, 4 small Mickey nuggets.
What I did do is order 1 kids meal with fries and the other with
carrots and ranch. I split the fries between the 2 kids, even
splitting the fries, they did not finish them. We saved the carrots
and ranch for later. If your kids want burgers, have them split
one. My friend's daughter threw away more than half her burger
(cheeseburger with fries is $7.29, split between 2 kids is a very
dollarless meal). The burgers all come with fries but for a $1
upcharge you can get onion rings instead of fries. I think you can
order burgers without the fries to save money (it is not an option on
the menu but they used to do it if you ask). There was a 10% annual
passholder discount.
Extra Comments: Overall the food was good but nothing special. If
you want burgers and fries this would be a good choice as the setting
by the river is nice and the seating is shaded. Service was really
slow here. The kitchen could not keep up with the orders being
taken. The kids kept coming back to the line asking what was taking
so long! Also on the menu was a BBQ chicken salad and turkey
sandwich.
