Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar

In such a great location, Puddle Jumpers is definitely a restaurant to keep in your favorites. There is a lot to enjoy within walking distance, as the restaurant is right next to the park and other establishments. During my visit, the staff was polite, inviting and welcoming. They sat us quickly and delivered our food just as fast. Throughout the day, you can see sea planes coming in for a landing and taking off on the lake. What I loved most, Puddle Jumpers IS PET FRIENDLY! They have a spacious patio for all who enjoy being outside. This will be a regular spot for us.

Took the family to Puddle Jumpers for an afternoon lunch. The place was kind of cool. Right off the water, with just Sea Plane parking area and railroad track in between. There was a sidewalk to crossover to get closer to the SeaPlane. Kids thought that was cool. Without question, the restaurant was themed out with the Sea Plane nostalgia. Crazy set up as you walk into the bar, but we later learned of the multiple dining rooms as well as an upstairs dining space. They also had outdoor seating, but that day was way too hot. Good was pretty good. We started with the Kettle chips and dip. Carmelized onion dip and chorizo beer queso cheese type of dipping sauces. We ordered both sauces to try. Very unique flavors but they kept you going back for more. I must say, the Mahi Bites were pretty good - they looked like chicken tenders but there were good and came with a lot. The fries had a seasoning which was a nice change up from traditional fries. We also ordered the Ye Olde Black & Blue burger. Very juicy, good flavor. Wife didn't care for the blackened but I thought it was a solid choice. Kids got a cheeseburger and salad, and a Pitadilla (chicken and cheese quesadilla but with pita bread). Cheeseburger was eaten but the PitaDilla was a little on the bland side. Too much Pita bread for the kiddo. The area had a few other restaurants and a cooler slower beach vibe. Nice area to check out and explore. We will be back again and try out some more options. It would also be a great spot to watch the Sea Planes take off and land. Fairly close by is a really nice park too.

This is their mushroom Swiss burger. It was cooked to perfection & very filling! (Brought half home for later) The onion rings were quite tasty too! Food came out quick & hot! Server David took great care of us. Never had to ask for drink refills or extra napkins, etc. Will definitely go back again!
