Papi Grande's Waterfront and Beach Bar

"So the last time I was here the food was great, this time I ordered a quesadilla to go, I got no rice or anything on the side (I did last time?), no hot sauce, and a small quesadilla for $18. Not sure what has changed here in a month but I do not recommend getting food here ever. 1/10 for food and drinks were okay, frozen machine wasn’t working. Bartender was great but steer clear of ordering any food. Very disappointed here today."

"On the water , but not water accessible. You would need to dock your boat or kayak somewhere else as the docks waterside are for the apartment building next door. It's a good concept, to have a quick grab Mexican food and cold cocktail like margaritas and daiquiris waterside. The view is nice looking across the water at River works too. I didn't care for all the uneven surfaces ( fake grass carpeting) and plastic Adirondack chairs ( of which many are broken). A few simple up- grades along with permanent restrooms would be appreciated. Food was tasty and served pretty quick. it's a nice stop to hang out for a bit or meet up with some friends. The large over sized games are fun to play too."

"I have been wanting to go here since they first opened, so I'm sad to leave a review like this. I am a tropical girl through and through and love me a good tropical theme bar. Unfortunately I was disappointed to say the least. We went the Friday of Memorial Day, and there was literally no one there. Other surrounding places were bumpin! So it seemed very strange that there were next to no patrons other than ourselves for the good 2 hours we were there. We kept wondering where all the people were! But maybe they knew something I didn't. The concept of this place is cool but it all seems kind of thrown together with the food, picnic tables, etc. We did not eat but by the looks of the area where the food is produced, I wouldn't want to order anything. I would stick to drinks only. It's on the "water" and has "sand" but lacks any sort of a true tropical/beachy atheistic and the Porta potties could at least be upgraded to the trailers. There are alot of nice places in that area and I don't think they can compete. At least not with a mature crowd. Im sure I'd go here if I was in my young 20s but this place does not live up to the hype. The bartenders were very nice but I wouldn't go back."

"Stopped by for a quick drink on a bike ride and enjoyed a great wine slushy for their happy hour. It was six dollars and definitely worth it. at the time they didn’t seem to have any food options available, but I know they do have food based off of a menu that was referenced at the bar. (Will update this review after visiting in the future to try the food as well.) The place is directly across from Riverworks so you can sit in some of their lounge chairs and enjoy the boats and kayaks going up and down the river while enjoying music playing at some of the local establishments nearby."

"It was a good time. We pulled up on our boat (33ft) with no problems. Walked in, security was extremely friendly and very reasonable. Food was good and beers were cold. Excellent view of the Ferris wheel at Riverwoods at night. DJ played a lot of hits we enjoyed (2004 graduates), but I'm sure the music changes nightly. If you are in the area it is worth checking out. The whole area is sand so you can even take your shoes off. It is not a club or anything, just a good place to drink with friends."
