1000 Miles of waterways! many places to enjoy food & drink

Food just seems to taste better when you are next to the water. Whether you are munching on Delta-caught crawdads or attacking a large portion of savory prime rib, the dining experience is just more fun here too. We encourage you to call ahead to make sure food service is available before you make a long drive or boat cruise to dine out.

There are some dining establishments that do not take credit cards. Check ahead, or bring hard cash. Most restaurants offer gratis guest docking while you are dining, but there may be charges for overnight and connection to electricity.

A few restaurants may only be open seasonally, and at some their open days and hours may vary with the weather. Please call to confirm open/close status. Of course, we only list those eateries that are Delta Chambers members.
