Roadrunner Floating Dock Bar & Restaurant

This is the Roadrunner. We usually have breakfast here once or twice when we visit. Since it has the boat dock right off the restaurant. Their food is simple but good. Drinks depends on the waitress working there. They’re accommodating. Simple but good.

2.5 stars — we went here for breakfast. When we pulled up to the parking lot, it didn’t look like it was open but ventured on anyway since Unilocalers had eaten here gor breakfast.
I have no idea what service people were raving about here. We kept walking until we found the bar where the bartender was on a personal phone call. We sat ourselves and waited for someone to come by with menus. Evetually I got tired of waiting and went up to the bartender who was still talking to her friend on the phone. She pointed out where the menus are.
You have to go to the bar and place your order. It’s also where you go to pick up your plates and later pay… so that was different.
Another upsetting thing was that they use styrofoam cups/​plates and plastic utensils — not ecofriendly at all!
My eggs were ok, pancake was generous and good, hashbrown triangles that were actually more rectangular was the bomb!

Came here for the first time! Breakfast was awesome. Cool atmosphere. Joy the bartender is wonderful! Definitely going to keep coming back.

Same bartender is there every time I come and always gets it right! Big Sticks for those days when you can’t quite handle a roadraper!

Don’t expect a traditional restaurant more of a bar/​grill, no wait staff other than at the bar.
Order at the bar, menus are on a laminated sheet and burgers, breaded mushrooms, fries, wings, chicken strips and hot dogs covers most of it.
I have to say I had the giant burger and loved it, the food is good. Prices are not terrible but not cheap either. 3 kids 4 adults for $ 90 including sodas. Can’t order alcohol with the food, different part of the bar.
Atmosphere is friendly, kind of bar’ish without forcing family’s out. I have a feeling in the summer/​spring break seasons the place is probably not as family friendly as right now (march). Right on the river (literally floating on the river), parking is a bit tight but many come from the water not the road.
My only complaint and it is NOT management fault nor in their control is the noise level from the passing speed boats. We were there 6−7ish in the evening and half the time couldn’t talk across the table due to idiots screaming their engines on the river. Having said that I probably will not be back due to that one issue alone.

Food is legit. Drinks are stiff. Love this place. We drive here now in a car because of all of the jerkoff wakeboard boats cruising by 10 yards off the dock with full ballasts.

Pretty busy place on the Colorado River! W boat dock –tables outside — very friendly service & people! Highly Recommend this place for great food & wonderful service! Reasonable prices!

Such a fun place! The big stick drink is very good. They have fun music at night but it’s a lot of fun to hang out in the water during the day. Many people bring their boats to the floating bar. The food was good too.
Highly recommend going here if you are in Parker.

Went to Roadrunner on Saturday afternoon for some drinks. not very many peope so perfect to get a good table and fast service. But… wait! A waitress by the name of LANA was behind the bar along with another server. Sat at the bar to order. LANA walked back and forth a few times, noticing me with money in my hand waiting to get service. Not once did she ask me if I needed anything or at least, «Ill be right with you».nothing! With only 2 people at bar. the other bartender helping the other person and myself. My boyfriend laughing at the table watching! The other bartender then took my order after serving the other customerr. Tried this again. back up at bar and Lana walked up to where I was and she grabbed some glasses behind bar, yet again… nothing! Really… customer service is your #1 priority, LANA! The 2 stars for the other bartender and the view. Sorry Roadrunner… Sundance will be our bar to go to.

Good breakfast and lunch that you order right on the dock.
Good stiff pores for the drinks and it is always a good time. A good way to spend a Parker. Morning.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday and the wait to order food was insanely long! But we did it because we wanted to see what all the hype was about. The food wasn’t anything exciting, but was decent enough to eat without dying. You can order your drinks with your breakfast to avoid waiting a LONG while for a drink at the bar next to the food order line. It took about an hour to actually get our food so don’t come hungry.
They only have one bartender making drinks (not sure why). and ALOT of people order drinks that take longer (aka Mudslides. thank you A-​hole in front of us)
So if you’re gonna buy a drink, maybe order 2 or 3 so you can at least have a drink while you wait to order. The bloody Mary’s were small but decent. GREAT PRICES for everything though, you can’t go wrong here with the prices!
They have another somewhat hidden bar up top by the patio that opened after 11 and had no line, so that’s probably your best bet for drinks!
We’ll be back because its a fun location, and a lot going on. Always crowded every time we drive by on the boat.

Stopped by here several times during Memorial Day 2015…
The notorious «Road Raper» drink was delicious. And definitely a creeper.
Food took about an hour to make/serve…no surprise — as we were there for Memorial Day weekend.
Good spot, they need to up their food prepping game.

LOVED this Unilocal find! On our way back to Phoenix from a weekend trip in Lake Havasu, we pulled up Unilocal to see what we could find to fill up our bellies before the long lonely trek back to the Valley. Pulled up a bit unsure, almost as if it might be a little sketchy or a locals only kind of place.
So glad we fought the idea of heading down into the town of Parker. Such an awesome experience to actually sit on a floating restaurant docked on the Colorado River! I can see why they have so much loyalty and regulars who dine their. I would probably visit daily if I had a boat and cruised up and down that river all the time. Nothing like a burger and adult beverages out on the water, a nice breeze in the air, blue skies and sunshine raining down on you.
I imagine the atmosphere and crowd is much different in the evenings and probably would not be my style, but for an afternoon lunch on the water, it was great.
Had the burger with fries, which were both tasty. Cheap drinks as well. Almost felt a bit surreal that we were still in our home state of Arizona, dining on this beautiful river of water with boats pulling on up to the docks to grab some lunch. Not too many areas in the state with water after all.
Extra bonus points for the Ohio State tip bucket on the bar of which with one of the bartenders is from the Eastern suburb of Columbus. Double high fives for the O-​H! love. A native Ohioan always appreciates seeing that logo.

Christie was an awesome and patient bartender! Not from the area and she gave us the 411 of the area. We got souvenir cups of RoadRunners road rapers which was all we needed to feel a good buzz! We kept coming back for refills. Great time on the dock bar on a mellow winter night for the snow birds haha

I love this bar! It’s honestly how we start our mornings at the river! Breakfast and a bull raper :) and were set the whole day. Christina is an amazing bar tender we can’t wait to come back for new years

I always stop at Roadrunner when I’m in Parker. Its a fun environment with inexpensive drinks. I’ve had the Roadraper a couple times and that would end my day. So strong but tastes so good. I would definitely recommend getting one, you also keep the cup. This year they had a neon pink one.
The food really isn’t anything special. I think all I’ve had are French fries there and what I’ve seen other people are the typical hamburgers and French fries. I really just go for the drinks, atmosphere and scenery. The Colorado River is beautiful.

ACTION!!! Boats zipping by and heavily drinking folk stumbling by! You can’t really ask for a better time! The food is decent for river food and the Road Rapper… well, that you will just have to try and form your own opinion on (if you remember anything)!! Love this place!

Road Rapers! Drink one and done! :)
Fun environment, good DJ and we had a blast!

First off let me say that this was one of the best bars I have ever been to and its a floating bar on the Colorado river! Talk about amazing!!! The bar tenders were hot and the atmosphere was amazing… I loved the food.
You absolutely have to have a famous Road raper and trust me when I say it will rape you!!!

Food drinks and waves is what is offered here. We came for the infmous «road raper» drink and it was found for $ 15. Served in a black plastic mug you take home it was full of alcahol and low on flavor.
The view of he river is nice until you realize its narrow and the other side is just ugly.
The most fun part is sitting on the edge, when a boat drives by you bob up and down.
