Zorbaz is as much an institution as it is a restaurant. Pull up by boat or by car — either way, you’ll end up on the deck with a wood-fired pizza, a frozen margarita, and a view straight down Gull Lake. The vibe is loud, casual, and unapologetically fun, with live music some summer evenings and a crowd that ranges from families to the boating happy-hour set.
The menu leans Tex-Mex-meets-pizza-joint, which sounds odd until you try it — think burritos, nachos, and specialty pies alongside classic bar food. Portions are generous and built for sharing after a day on the water. Sunset is the best time to go; grab a spot on the deck around 7 PM and watch the sky turn over the lake while the boat traffic slows down for the evening.
It gets busy fast on summer weekends, so expect a wait if you show up prime time. That said, the energy and the view make it worth it — this is the kind of place that ends up being everyone’s favorite memory of the trip.
