6 Lakeside Restaurants In Arizona You Simply Must Visit This Time Of Year
Are you looking for a new favorite restaurant to enjoy a meal with family and friends along with a fantastic view? If you love visiting Arizona’s lakes, then you’re probably going to look for every opportunity to spend as much time there as you can! Let’s take a look at 7 great restaurants located right along Arizona’s lakes.
Are you craving some delicious barbecue? Dillon’s Bayou serves their dishes Kansas City style, with spice-rubbed meats and topped with a thick barbecue sauce. You will also fall in love with the spectacular views over Lake Pleasant.
What better way to finish up a day at the lake than with a plate of hearty German food? This restaurant sits near Lynx Lake in Prescott and is also a store and marina.
Feel like the best way to round out a trip to the lake is with a piping hot pizza? Stop by this pizza joint for a few slices and a great view of the London Bridge spanning the Colorado River and Lake Havasu.
You’ll enjoy one incredible view of Lake Powell when you stop to eat at this restaurant located in the Wahweap Marina. Enjoy a breakfast buffet before heading out for a sun-filled day at the lake or a hearty dinner that may include prime rib or chicken confit.
Technically, this restaurant sits on the Colorado River but since Lake Havasu is on the river, we think this counts as a lakeside restaurant. You’ll get to enjoy an incredible view of the river/lake and the London Bridge when dining here!
Address: 1425 McCulloch Blvd. N., Lake Havasu City
If you’re in the city and still want to enjoy a meal on the lake, then you’ll want to check out this little restaurant hiding in Tempe. Sitting on the banks of a human-made lake (actually, nearly all of Arizona’s lakes are human-made), the restaurant is a great spot to enjoy brunch with family or an evening of live music and drinks with friends.
Address: 5350 South Lakeshore Dr., Tempe
