Been to their restaurant several times with family or when out cruising with friends and always found it to have good food and good service. The view of the lake is an awesome compliment to the dining. If you’re driving in to eat and not staying in the vicinity just be sure to check their website first since their hours can vary.

Always a great place to visit. We love to take the motorcycles out there in the morning for reasonably priced breakfast ( many great options) and made right in front of you Bloody Mary's. The staff is wonderful and always make it a great experience.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of Martinez Lake. Dogs are allowed on the patio. Service was quick and friendly and the food was very good. We had breakfast - huevos rancheros omlett was noteworthy, hash browns were perfect. They even brought water for the dog. Good value, nice drive - we'll be back! $$

Love love this place. I have been coming here since I was a child. Great places to rent a house for family fun. Two great restaurants to have dinner. Sunday night is dancing. Great hiking in the mountains. You like fishing and water skiing this is the place for you.

Always good food and great service!! Had four family members visiting and they wanted to eat somewhere other than town and immediately I thought of Martinez Lake as our experience has always been enjoyable. Had a great luncheon!!

We finally made it to Lake Martinez and did a little fishing on a nice sunny day at the beginning of February. My wife of course, was the only one to land a largemouth bass that was 16 inches and beautiful. We released it and it stayed by the boat several minutes getting it's bearing. The Lake looked drained down a few feet, maybe for farming use but didn't take away from the experience. We are LOVING Yuma and thinking of buying a place for our Winter getaway...

I had a good time. This place was lively. I only had beers but the food smelled great. I'm sure we will come back again.
