There aren't many places to eat out in Island Park, so we were happy to find Boondocks Restaurant. We have four young children, so we made sure to get there before 5:00 so we could order from the lunch menu. After 5, they don't offer kids meals, apparently. Also, be advised, they only accept check or cash -- no credit cards. The restaurant was full, so they had us sit outside on the porch to eat. It was a beautiful afternoon, and being outside allowed our kids to explore a bit instead of being confined to the table. The food was tasty, too. My wife got the Million Dollar Salad ($12.95) and described it as "everything you could ever want on a salad." I got the Philly Cheesesteak ($9.50), which was pretty tasty, as well.

It can be a little busy sometimes, but is definitely...
Read moreThis is a small local restaurant where I am sure everyone knows everyone by name in the small city of Island Park. We had the fish and chips and a vegetarian burger. Both were ok. I wouldn't say they were great but had the right flavor. The fries, ranch and tartar sauces were great. The staff was great and they accept only cash and checks. These 2 were pretty standard dishes and the taste was also standard. Huckleberry cheesecake was amazing indeed. This is definitely a place to try out if you are...
