Guide
Temple Bar Restaurant & Bar is the sit-down restaurant at Temple Bar Marina on Lake Mead’s Arizona side. It makes the most sense as a meal break if you’re already using the marina or staying nearby; I wouldn’t make the long drive for one menu item alone. The setting has broad views toward Temple Bar, Del Mar Butte and the west rim of the Grand Canyon.
Expect casual marina fare such as pizza, burgers, wings and fish tacos, with breakfast favorites and kids’ options also listed. The TBM Southwest Burger is a named house option if you want something beyond the standard burgers and pizza.
The restaurant is at 1 Main Street on the Temple Bar Marina campus, off Arizona Highway 93. Food service varies by date, so check the current schedule before making the drive; this is a remote stop, not a place to assume you can eat whenever you arrive.
