Palace Restaurant & Outfitters — Restaurant in Hamilton Township

Went tubing with my 10 year old. $30/per tube rental per person CASH ONLY. Just show up when you want to go tubing/kayaking… they don’t take reservations. Kids must be at least 5 yrs old but they don’t check dob. Waivers are provided online or at check in per person. BRING DRIVERS LICENSE. It is required that they hold your license until you get back from the river. They will drive you and your group in a mini van to the beginning of the river which is about a 3 minute drive. They provide life vests and you can bring your own tube but I wouldn’t recommend that due to hitting so many branches it would pop. We chose the pink tubes with no hole in the middle with a backrest. We thought they were very comfortable for the 2 hour and 45 min trip down the river. It was very serene but you MUST pay attention to your whereabouts on the river because sharp sticks and branches will catch you on the head. I bumped my head hard on a tree branch overhanging very low to the water at one point when my tube started floating backwards. The river gets super shallow and very deep throughout. If it rains with lightning they don’t force you out of the river. I recommend bringing a change of dry clothes, we changed in the restaurant restroom and had lunch indoors. Their homemade mozzarella sticks were really good. 👍 I can’t wait to go tubing again. I wish I brought some snacks and water with us on the tube. Water shoes would be good and some rope to tie them together but luckily ours had rope already on...

the men outside are very helpful, food is very good, the river is clean and very fun. however the staff in side, there is a woman with purple hair, pastel like. she is very un pleasurable to be around and gives me the feeling that I annoy her asking for her service. my sister and I ordered food, we were informed that it would take around 15 minutes so we waited, come around 25-30 minuets, I asked the counter what the hold up was, and the last with the purple pastel like hair told me it was being wrapped up and about ready to come out. so we waited ten more mins and I asked yet again, what is the hold up. the lady with the purple hair told me in a very condescending and ignorant tone, "we can't cook it any faster" I said I'm not asking you to cook it any faster you told me ten minuets ago that it was being wrapped up. my mother eventually asked for her money back because it was about 45 minuets that we were waiting for food, mind you we have a party of 15 other people waiting for us outside. then here comes out the food after 45 minutes, I stake it out of the women's hand and we walk out feeling disrespected. and out comes this ignorant rude child, (the purple haired last) she swings over the railing saying "don't come back thanks" and as my friends fiancé walked out he heard her saying "ignorant mother f^ckers" I had a very awful experience with this indoor staff. if I were the manager of this palace I would try to find new waitresses. you're waitresses are very rude and...

So nice especially on a hot day. It usually takes me a minute to get in cold, cold water, but it was so hot and it didn't seem like the spring type cold water. It was a fun slow chill ride and very nice people. We actually met some of the other visitors and now, will be good friends. If you're in a group it's nice to make sure you have rope. They were running low. We were lucky to have gotten a few pieces so we could flow down together. By yourself is just as beautiful and peaceful. It was a 10 all around. Definitely coming back. Sorry I had music on the phone in a dry bag so I didn't get good pictures of being on the river. So a dry bag is a must!! if you want to keep something from getting wet. Also you can bring a cooler! 😉 The restaurant sells canned alcohol and little bottles of liquor and wine I believe!!! I added a four pack of this raspberry sunrise or sunset something like that but it was a vodka/ tea drink. It was very nice. Not too strong. They have original and peach . I asked the sweet girl working (who I unfortunately forgot her name)she recommended the raspberry. It was smooth and not to sweey. Almost like a seltzer but not that much. I believe the alcohol content was 4.9 . So not too strong at all. The food smelled amazing but we had eaten right before. Others were buying and chowing down. Seemed as like they enjoyed it A Lot. I saw them chowing down on pizza mostly. They do have a...
