Scorpion Bay Grill

Sits out on the water for a fun, very casual atmosphere. Lots of outside seating to watch all the water activity in the bay.Food is good, fresh. Had the flatbread and a Caesar salad with shrimp. The shrimp was 'okay', but still made for a good, light entree.Get the apple pie and ice cream for dessert. It's delicious and be sure to order it to share because it's big.Great place to have lunch on any typical sunny Arizona day when you crave a setting on water, break from an Arizona desert setting.

The boys and I decided to make a day out of it and checked out the water toys, Paqua Park, and of course, the grill. Upon arrival, we had a bit of trouble locating the restaurant as we didn't see any signs in the parking lot. However, we eventually found our way down the pier and stumbled upon the restaurant next to the convenience store.We opted to sit on the outside patio and were treated to a stunning view overlooking the lake. My son and his friends were in heaven with their fish and chips and fish sandwiches - they barely left me a fry! I went for the Shrimp Ginger Sesame Salad, and it was not only tasty but also a generous portion.Our waitress was a delight - friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.With the boys on summer break, we've been exploring different dining spots, and Scorpion Bay Grill is definitely one we'll be revisiting. The boys are already eager to try out the Paqua Park obstacle course on our next visit.

What a scenic view! Great place to catch lunch on a sunny day, indoors or out, you'll get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Service started out great but slowed considerably as the crowd expanded. I had the Greek salad with chicken. It was plentiful and delicious. Chicken cooked as requested. Veggies all fresh. House Greek dressing was the perfect match.My husband ordered the pretzel plate - the salt and garlic pretzel were very good. Garlic the best of the two. The parmesan pretzel was just weird tasting. We both had local beers, and Amber ale and a hazy IPA. Both very good. As mentioned, service slowed terribly and a hour lunch turned to two. They were super busy and likely understaffed. Only place to go in the area, but it's worth it!

After a nice hike on burro trail we stopped in for a drink and some appetizers! This place is good for a stop over for hikers and boaters! You can order in advance for pick up or you have a seat on the patio overlooking the lake! The restaurant also offers indoor seating for cold days! There is also an indoor and outdoor bar area! The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu that has bar type food! There are salads and healthy options too! Also the place offers an extensive drink menu! We just enjoyed a couple flatbreads! The Korean chicken flat bread was unusual and had good flavors! We also ordered the margarita flatbread which was more traditional! Given we are in Arizona I had to order the prickly pear margarita! The margarita was nice and tart: not overly sweet! Lastly our waiter provided great service!Worth a stop if you are int area for the view alone!

Such a fun hidden gem! There's no sign on the road for this place, and I would have never expected to find a restaurant inside a regional park. I guess it's really mainly for the locals! The only reason we knew of its existence was because we ran across some people on a hiking trail and they mentioned they had heard some wild donkeys in the distance while eating at the restaurant. To get there, head to Scorpion Bay and park anywhere up there. Find the path down. There's a long steep staircase, or you can take this fun ski lift/elevator sort of thing. Keep walking all the way down the pier.Once at the restaurant, customer service was great! We wanted a table outside in the sun, and they didn't have any except for a little area that was considered more of a lounge and wasn't supposed to have table service, but they basically gave us table service anyway.All the food on everyone's table looked great, and the same was true of the food that we ourselves ordered. We got a quesadilla, which was one of the cheaper things on the menu for $14, and it was stuffed with different flavors and we were really happy with that purchase! We also got the $21 fish and chips. Good, but not as much food as I would have thought for the high price. But just the customer service and the environment was a really nice experience. Our kids enjoyed the ducks that were walking around right outside the patio area.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambiance. Got the artichoke flatbread. Phenomenal. Will definitely be back

It's hard to beat the location. The food was pretty good. They had a couple vegetarian options. I got the beyond pizza burger with no cheese or pepperoni. I don't think the bun is vegan so you might want to make sure if you're vegan. They had a kids menu so that's pretty nice. Service is good but the place is busy.

Visiting Arizona friends and they had heard about this place, so we headed there and we were very happy we did. Park then take the stairs or ride their little funicular down to the dock. I think mainly used to transport your stuff to boats to spend the day, but fun little ride. So many activities available. Rental boats, jet skis, and more! Beautiful lake but due to recent storms there was debris floating around. But still beautiful! We went just for lunch but I know our friends will be back. Lunch was delicious and service by Amy was great. Helpful and patient and answered questions about the place, being first timers. Amy did say it gets very busy during summer but I think so worth a visit anytime!

We are camping in the park and after having a quick beer at the bar yesterday, decided the menu looked good enough for lunch :). They have limited hours Monday thru Thursday (11-4p) but are open for dinner on the weekends- with all the live music and happening; I'll bet it's absolutely crazy on the weekends. Anyway, we settled on lunch and we arrived around 11:30 AM and there were actually wild burros in the parking lot, lol. The park is known for this, but crazily enough on all of our hikes this week, we did not see them until we went to the restaurant!We opted to sit on the patio, as it was an absolutely glorious 70-ish day with a light breeze coming across the water. We had a really nice view and the patio is quite large!Hubby decided on the Baja chicken salad, which he said was very tasty, although recommended you ask for extra dressing upfront. I had the blackened ahi tuna sandwich on ciabatta and it was fantastic. Just the right amount of kick to it along with the pineapple coleslaw, which had a little bit of Frank's sauce drizzled on the top. We both really liked this unique approach to coleslaw- it is mayo based if that helps and there is just a trace of pineapple in it, so it's not fruity as one would expect. We really liked it!Their prices aren't terribly crazy here either, which was a really nice change. I had one glass of Pinot Grigio and my husband had one beer and our total bill for all came to $56 before tip.There is a pretty steep stairway coming down into the dock area but as others have mentioned, there are two Finicular elevators that can take you from top to bottom if you so choose. My husband was being goofy and he said there's about 95 steps in case anybody wanted to knowI can't fault the restaurant for the little gnats that seem to be attacking the tables as you're sitting right on the water, but we did ask the hostess to wipe the table off as when we went to sit down as there were at least 30 little flying ants (gnats?) crawling everywhere, which wasn't too appetizing. Once she scrubbed the table, we managed to swipe them off every now and then, but know that you're on the water and bugs do exist there!We were in and out in an hour and it was incredibly enjoyable. Service from our waitress (table 44) was great as well.

Views are worth the visit. It was packed but the service was good. The food was surprisingly delish! I expected more of a sports bar kind of feel but they had great options. We all loved our food.Dear Lord - the pretzel platter is no joke. It's so cute - buttery yet crisp on the bottom. Delish! Being a NY girl - I loved that they served it with cheese and mustard!
