Great drinks, good and staff on a beautiful lake side setting. The outdoor bar is fun and the lake breeze is perfection.

We love it. Cheeseballs rock and so do the fries. We go mainly for the tiki bar. Kids play at the beach and you can have drinks when it’s summertime.

Wt went there with a group of about 15 people on the 3rd of July
One of us was doing the Tiki Burger Challenge. That person had an hour to eat their 6 patty burger. The waitress took everyone’s order but didn’t start bringing us our food till the challenge was over. We were starving. It was a good thing we odered their delicious onion rings to tied us over. Great food, slow service, friendly staff.

Great restaurant/​bar on on the lake. We’re here for the 4th weekend and stopped here for some brunch. Great staff, very friendly and awesome customer service.
We all got some grub as well, the wraps are delicious, chicken tenders were great.
Prices are low (we’re from Chicago), pretty good size selection of beers as well. Cocktails were good.
Overall if you can, stop on by and enjoy the view, good food and friendly staff.

Fun place for all meals. Family friendly except that they do not have a kids menu for breakfast which seems out of character.

Pleasantly surprised. They have wonderful breakfast here. Weak coffee (most Iowans don’t like strong coffee for some reason) pancakes are thick and spongy (airy) and just delicious! Recommend this place for breakfast.

I originally heard good things about this place. Food was ok. Our salads were literally swimming in the dressing, they should put it on the side. The service was bad. Came with a large group about 30 and only 1 server was taking our orders, I asked all the servers what was in the chicken salad and not a single one knew, they had to go look for the ingredients. Our server wasn’t very pleasant with most of us.

The restaurant at PM Park is the oldest continuously operated eating establishment in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. It dates from the early 1900s when the land was purchased as the summer camp of the Patriarchs Militant (hence ‘PM’) order of the Odd Fellows. The restaurant occupies the lower floor of the building. The restaurant is a long-​standing favorite place for family meals for people who live and vacation around Clear Lake. My favorite menu item is the everything hash browns for a leisurely brunch on Sunday. The food is not fancy. It is your basic small town restaurant fare and makes for a highly enjoyable meal. The restaurant is situated in a park setting with plenty of oak trees and a sandy lake-​front beach. It is right next to Clear Lake Boats, the most well-​known full-​service marina serving Clear Lake. Enjoyed onion rings along with haddock sandwich (August 2014). Wonderful shore lunch, don’t miss it!
