Went here for dinner on Friday night. Ordered the blackened salmon special with crab cake and veggies. The dish was ok, nothing memorable. I guess my issue was the veggies looked and tasted like the same mix that you buy in the frozen section of the grocery store and make at home. Asparagus served under the salmon was good though.
Great service.
Went to their sister restaurant, Barley Brothers, last Summer and liked the food there better.
Good for Havasu standards, not LA.
We've been at most places at lake Havasu City. Almost every place had a good food, But Shurgue's is definitely the best place to enjoy the evening. It's real restaurant with great view to the Channel and Bridge, with excellent menu and full bar of drinks. And of course the customer service was awesome as well.
Review Source:It was a hot day, dining while overlooking the water with all the twenty somethings turning pink in overloaded boats while cruising the channel. We were sipping Champagne in air conditioning.
We started with Oysters Rockefeller, classically prepared, that were very good but a little small. Our entrees included prime rib, teriyaki steak and Tournedos Oscar (medallions of beef tenderloin served on toast points with grilled shrimp, lump crab, fresh asparagus and Béarnaise sauce). All were excellent and prepared to the correct doneness. Mmmmmm.
The coconut cream pie was excellent with a sort of meringue frosting.
It is a nicer restaurant but there doesn't seem to be a dress code. Awesome service and terrific food.
Funny thing is that despite growing up in Havasu, my family rarely came to Shugrue's. Now that I live in Phoenix, every time my husband and I visit Havasu, we have to have dinner at Shugrue's. We've been here several times by ourselves, but usually we take family. The menu is static, but luckily they have nightly specials. For a while, all we ordered were bar steaks - which is a steak cut up and cooked with mushrooms and onions then served with crostini. I think we were addicted to these for a while! More recently, we had their ribeye and it was amazing! Super tender and juicy, it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. Also, their soups are amazing and rotate -creamy asparagus and French onion being the two I really enjoyed. For dessert, my favorite is the blueberry sour cream pie. Oh. My. God. This was to die for! It was super creamy with tart blueberries... Â Oh man, I tried to recreate this at home and came super close to the deliciousness that is this pie. Their other desserts are really good as well, but definitely try this if available!
We've also been here for the Mother's Day Brunch, which is fantastic and my favorite place for Mother's Day. There are stations filled with blintz, lamb, lobster, all the breakfast fixings, an omelet bar and a dessert station. So, so good. Can't wait to come back!
Service was great food was very good. Would definitly go back. enjoyed the window view of the bridge and water. The only bad part was the very unhappy hostess. Thought maybe I caught her at a bad moment when I made the reservation but she was worse when we arrived and she seated us. Thank goodness for our wonderful waitress and the very nice busboy.
Review Source:Closing out 2012, and my 350th Yelp review, with a superior restaurant, I will describe my meal yesterday at Shugrue's overlooking the London Bridge. Â The ambiance was dark but rather cool with a night window view from our seats of the London Bridge, which was specially decked out in holiday light decorations both on the roadway on top and on the stony side. Â
After making a 7:45 p.m. dinner reservation just before leaving from southern California for Lake Havasu City, hours later I realized that there might be a time difference between California and Arizona, which indeed there was. Â So, I called the restaurant to change our reservation to 8:45 p.m. Arizona time. Â Diane and I then arrived one minute beyond the agreed time after a 4-hour drive. Â But the original error on my part somewhat screwed up an otherwise great meal, because we were the last party seated, and the last to leave--dealing with a kitchen crew that was ready to close the kitchen and go home as soon as they possibly could.
So, while the food was uniformly excellent, we were rushed unmercifully through our meals. Â Before finishing a really tasty and meaty Shrimp Cocktail, both French Onion Soup and Spinach Salad were brought to our table for me to quickly consume. Â And after I polished off the soup more swiftly than I would have liked, and was just beginning to attack the salad, out came our ordered entrees. Â I complained to our server about being unduly rushed, and he apologized and took 10% off the bill as a result, but this really should not have happened. Â It caused us to gobble down $70 worth of food in 1 hour to avoid it turning cold. Â Thus, a half-star was needlessly lost for one of the best meals I have experienced at a restaurant in 2012.
Warm freshly baked and doughy bread was excellent with Garlic Butter. Â The hot French Onion Soup was delicious with a chewy crown of Gruyere Cheese, tasty beef broth, and well-caramelized onions. Â And the Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing was teeming with cut up hard-boiled egg whites and bacon for just a slight up-charge over an included garden salad. Â
Tournedos Oscar on toast points were prepared medium rare as ordered, with a smooth Bearnaise Sauce, 2 big shrimp, and an immense amount of crab. Â Asparagus was okay but on the crunchy side, and included in greater quantity than I desired. Â And, an included Baked Potato was served with butter and chives as requested, and artfully prepared. Â Diane also enjoyed her Trout Almondine with Lemon Butter Sauce and Baked Potato with bacon and cheese.
It was a dining experience memorable for its deliciousness but also for the rushed presentation.
XXXX-1/2 stars overall!
Great view of London Bridge and waterway. We had a nice time here and really enjoyed our meal. We were told this is the finest dining in Lake Havasu City so I was unpleasantly surprised to be greeted with loud football playing on multiple screens in the bar during our pre dinner drink. Is this a sports bar or a restaurant?
 We were seated at a window view table as far as possible from the cacophony of games and dined. The French onion soup was delicious with perfectly Carmelized  onions.  The steak lollipop appetizers were so good that we decided to go meat with our shared entree. The rack of lamb did not disappoint.  The light sauce was perfect and flavorful. We had the twice baked potato and steamed broccoli as our sides.  The latter was cooked perfectly but boring alone. The sauce on the plate as well as that yummy garlic butter with the bread kicked it up a notch.
Pros:
View , food, ability to pay a split fee for the entree, wine prices, value, service
Cons: Â
Loud TV permeating throughout establishment, Â bartender dressed in football jersey, salad subpar.
I felt compelled to leave this place a good review after my experience at their Thanksgiving buffet. I cannot eat gluten because I have Celiac disease, and unfortunately none of the items at the Thanksgiving feast were gluten free except for the salad. Upon discovering this, the staff offered to make me a halibut in the upstairs kitchen with a gluten free lemon butter sauce. I gladly accepted, and it was delicious. They came back to the table several times to check up on me. Great service, great food, and very accommodating to food intolerances/allergies.
Review Source:I fell in love with this city in one night. We had one hell of a great evening at this eatery. It all started with a loaf  of bread and garlic butter that melts in ur mouth. Steak and pork loin with shrimp daily special was fantastic.  Our server Tina made the dining experience. SHe was a great tour guide to all things Shugrues. Thanks Tina for a cool evening
Review Source:Finally had lunch @ Shugues. Ordered the Philly cheese steak sand. with onion rings
The sand had plenty of meat on it as well as sauted onion,bell pepper and mushroom, the only problem was it was very bland in flavor  -No seasoning at all - not even salt ?. The onion rings were just ok... She had the AYCE salad - soup - bread. The salad was avg. the clam chowder tasted good and the bread was ok.
All in All - it was nothing special.... The view and decor is nice and the service today was good.
Ambiance is good for night time, so I give it one star. I give it another star for the service, although the server is super cheesy. I do understand you have to be cheesy in a very touristy area. As for the food, over priced and not that great of quality. My rice was old, and I felt horrible that night and the next day. Big mistake not having eaten all day. I tried to contact someone via their web, and they did nothing to contact me back, so this is why overall they have 2 star. I am surprised by their other reviews.
Review Source:Boyfriend and I went on a saturday around 6ish, maybe almost 7 pm and were seated right away. Our server was very nice, I'd say he was above and beyond without being overly hovering. Food was very good. We both had the shrimp Alfredo linguini, it came with spinach and mushrooms. Also with garlic toast, plus the bread served at the beginning of the meal with amazing garlic spread! Drink from the bar was pricey but well worth it's amazing taste, and wasn't lacking in liquor or flavor. Wish I had had room for dessert! The price for 2 meals and one mixed drink was very fair considering it was a cozy environment, great service, very delicious meal... I'll be coming back again to try something new, and have the fountain of youth martini again!
Review Source:The waitress forgot to put our appetizer in before our meals. Â I had the blackened scallops, which were completely over seasoned and salty. Â To be fair, the waitress told me they were going to be spicy and salty when I ordered, but I thought I would at least be able to taste some scallop....Don't think I'll go here again and put down $120 for that meal.
Review Source:Im an avid Havasu frequenter as my grandparents (well grandmother now) lives there. I have been going for years... However I usually eat at the "chains" because Havasu is in the middle of no where and I trust the chains over anywhere else...
However, due to my somber visit to Havasu this weekend to attend my grandfathers funeral, my husband and I decided to try something different since we didnt have our kids...
I pulled up Yelp and looked around for places that had a good rating, even though I wasnt sure I trusted the reviews from the locals...
But we chose Shugrues and BOY OH BOY was I surprised...
Everything from start to finish was fabulous...
We started with the Crab Artichoke Dip... it was SO good... so good.... We then got our dinner salads and their bread and *butter*.... The butter blend was AMAZING... so good and FRESH...
I ordered the Tournedos Oscar which was fabulous... My steaks were cooked perfect and the Bernaise and shrimp on top were OH SO GOOD.... However, even though I loved my meal it was my hubbys that I wished I would have ordered!!!
He ordered the Rack of Lamband it was FANTASTIC.... I really liked the gravey like sauce that came with it... It was really outstanding....
Our server was a nice older man who knew his job well. Very nice, on top of everything, and friendly...
Couldnt believe that Havasu had this tiny little gem!!!!
I know where I will be having dinner again next time we go out there....
Yet another time I wish Yelp allowed me to put in half stars. 4.5 for me.
So, there I was in Lake Havasu City. Just checked into a fantastic hotel but Havasu in the off season is quiet. I figured all of the places to eat would be touristy. Shugrue's was listed as the top place on Yelp and lucky me was right next to my hotel.
I walked in not expecting much and almost stayed another day to eat here again.
All of the servers rocked. I think my main server was named Jim but he greeted me like he knew me for years. I drink a lot (I mean a lot of soda) and the runner stuck a carafe of soda on the table. Some might consider this lazy, I consider this freaking brilliant! The last this runner was is lazy!
I read reviews about the prime rib so I ordered it. I still sometimes think back to that prime rib. It was cooked perfectly and was wonderfully tasty and tender. I paired it up with a brie stuffed bread crusted shrimp.
Oh yeah! The bread and garlic butter. I read reviews and thought, really that good? Yes! It was great.
I would love to talk about dessert, but, I was way too stuffed to even think about it.
This is a quiet quaint restaurant (at least in the off season) but can see how the bar could get noisy in the height of the season.
And lastly. Expensive? Maybe in Havasu City, but, I found the food very affordable.
I can only hope I get hired to work out here again. I would head here again and again. I might not take the time to discover anywhere else to eat for dinner. A rarity for this nomadic traveler.
My family owns a time share at the London Bridge resort, and this is always our favorite place to go! This is the first time I've been in about 6 years or so, and was very happy to find it still kept it's memorable reputation.
I ordered the Tournedos Oscar, and oh man, probably one of the best dinner's I have ever had!!
Yes, this place is expensive, but with great service and amazing food, I would 100% recommend checking it out!
The wait staff is amazing and the food even better  Try the Seared Ahi.  We had a window view... Amazing. The fresh sour dough bread and garlic herb butter just whetted your appetite for the amazing food that followed.  Our waiter was polite, attentive and funny.  He made my whole experience memorable.  This is definitely going to be one of my go to spots here in LHC.
 Went for my birthday and at the end of our meal they brought me brownies covered in hot fudge with ice cream and a candle.  AMAZING service.  You won't be disappointed at Shagrue's
My daughter and I tried Shugrue's during our Lake Havasu vacation after reading Yelp reviews, and once again, y'all did not disappoint. Â
We came in for lunch on a weekend and were able to get a table overlooking the lake. Â Service was really fantastic -- our server was attentive and answered our questions without being annoying. Â Lunch was reasonably priced considering the service and atmosphere, and my chicken portabello sandwich was really excellent, as was the soup of the day. Â
At the time we visited, it was mostly an older-ladies-doing-lunch crowd, not too raucous ... it felt like a cool and peaceful oasis after a day on the lake.
Tasty food, great drink deals, and sincere service!
*i posted picts*
THE ORDER:
APPETIZERS:
Escargot....4 stars. Yummy, but pretty typical sauce...very garlicky and delicious. Came mixed with luscious mushrooms and tender ercargot. Nice portion size, too!
Chilled Prawn Cocktail....4 stars. Delicious, large shrimp. The cocktail sauce had the perfect amount of horseradish (and by this, I mean a LOT!). This came with 4 jumbo prawns....
Oysters on the 1/2 Shell. I honestly didnt try these, but the table seemed to really enjoy them. They were BIG , too!!
ENTREE(S):
Blackened Salmon w blackening seasoning w steamed vegetables....3 stars. The salmon itself was super juicy. I asked for Med Rare, but I think it was more of a solid medium. But , it was very flakey and moist.  However, the blackening seasoning kind of killed it. All this fish needed was  lemon juice; I should have forgone  blackening it.
Prime Rib....4 stars. This is what the hubby ordered and it was very tasty! Thick, juicy, side of horseradish...yum!
THE DRINKS:
To start, they stuff their own olives w blue cheese, so if like a "well-mannered" DIrty Martini, you'd probably enjoy this :)
Also, they have carafes of house wine for $21.00! Additionally, they have a pretty solid wine selection by the bottle and glass.
THE SERVICE:
Overall, helpful and friendly while nailing the steps of service!
ENJOY!

To start with .... their bread and garlic herb butter they serve is out of this world fantastic. Â I know ... you're thinking it's just bread and butter ... but their bread and butter is melt in your mouth yumminess.
My companions all ordered steak which was cooked to their preference... and came out juicy and flavorful... not mushy or tough like some steaks can be at some places.
I ordered chicken (I know... again you're thinking ... it's just chicken, so what?) Â ... it was juicy and it was a HUGE portion.... I think they gave 3 chicken breasts... there was that much chicken on my plate. Â It could have easily been shared with 3 people.
We will definitely going back the next time we are in Havasu.
We don't live in Havasu, but we go there fairly often.
Shugrue's overlooks the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ. It's a lovely spot, with a nice view of the bay and the bridge from the restaurant and the bar. Â It's over the bridge, on the island in the Island Fashion Mall.
The food and service at Shugrues are top notch, a really good dinner house. Â
I had the top sirloin, my wife had the salmon. I have to say you can't buy meat of that grade at the market. Â This is restaurant grade meat. Â Really good. Cooked perfectly, I had the peppercorn (au pove) sauce which is free! Â I recommend it. Â Asparagus to die for.
I had the half spring salad with a spicy balsamic vinaigrette, which is just outstanding and a great deal at about $5. The salad has walnuts and dried cranberries. Delicious.
The service is good, the food is better than good.
They had participated in the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> dining certificate program, so even though Shugrue's is pricey we were enjoying it and we could order things we wouldn't normally order, spend extra, go out more often. Hard to get out of there without spending at least $75 so the $25 certificates really helped. Â
Unfortunately they stopped participating so now we have to pay full price or go for the early bird "sunset suppers". Â We'll still go just not as often as we had with the great certificates.
I recommend Shugrue's if you want a *nice* meal and a *nice* night out. Make reservations before you go.
One other option, at lunch Shugrue's is pretty reasonable, many great sandwiches and stuff for $9 up to $12. Â And you get the great service and the great views at a bargain at lunch. Â I recommend Shugrue's for lunch. Outstanding. Â They do have coupons on their website for lunch, so check that out.
Aside from the lake itself, this place was the most memmorable thing about my trip through Lake Havasu City. Â I'm a food snob and can't complain about anything. Â Food was 8.5/10, service was an 8, and the ambiance was a 10 (I almost never give 10s on food). Â I would give this place a 4.5 star, but if I have to pick, I'll give it a 5.
I started with hot tea and a mozzerela and tomato salad, which was delicious. Â It was served on a bed of greens with a medium bodied balsamic and olive oil dressing that didn't overpower the mozzerela.
The french bread was a bit soft, but the butter with it was rich and flavorful. Â I had the rack of lamb, medium, ant it was cooked perfectly. Â There was a nice crust and mint jelly that made for a perfect texture. Â It was served with broccoli, asparagus, and a stuffed tomato. Â There was probably a bit too much fat added to the dish, but altogether it was very good. Â I washed the lamb down with their only Zin, which was perfect.
The waitress was professional and very helpful with my tourist questions. Â The restaurant overloods the water and faces the London Bridge (their claim to fame), and the whole place was cozy with a touch of modern that I enjoyed.
All in all, I was underimpressed with Lake Havasu City's amenities, and Shugrue's was definitely the exception.
We come here from out of town to vacation quite frequently, so naturally we tend to eat nearly every meal out.
This place is one of our regular go to eateries, granted there's not a HUGE selection in the city. Â The place is always packed, the service is always great.
The food? It's pretty darn good too. Why else would we keep going back?
It has an awesome view of the lake and the real London Bridge. If you look closely enough you can see the numbers they marked on them so they could make sure the bricks were put back in the right order.
There are only two amazing restaurants in Havasu this is one of them. The food is tasty and the service is spectacular.
Bear in mind that you are in a resort/vacation town so you are paying those rates. With that in mind, the price for your meal is not over priced. I usually have the NY steak and have yet to be disappointed. The girlfriend usually has the Prime Rib and she has never complained. To top it all off the sourdough bread is top notch and the drinks are strong.
You can't go wrong with Shegrue's and if you don't like what they have their sister restaurant is next door and you can get anything off of that menu.
A friend had been raving about this place since last year. Â Since, we're at Havasu every weekend, it was about time we tried out this restaurant.
Usually, we stay across the lake at  the Havasu Landing RV Park Resort on the CA side and have to slave over dinner after jetskiing the whole day.  But this particular weekend getaway was our anniversary, so we definitely were not in the mood to cook.  Instead, we jumped on the ferry and headed towards AZ.  Initially, our plan was to go to Martini Bay at London Bridge resort, but since the boat docked right in front of Shugrue's, we decided to heed our friend's advice.  We thought we were going to walk into some boisterous, Irish pub, but were pleasantly surprised.  It was completely opposite.  The atmosphere was modern, quiet, and warm.  We were seated right next to the window overlooking the Channel and could see boats cruising down below.   The menu selections were reasonably priced and sounded savory.  We ordered a chicken  marsala type dish with asparagus and salmon stuffed with crab.  First, they served the clam chowder which was included as one of the sides.  The soup was abundant with clams to the last drop and the flavor was muah!  Then they brought out the house sourdough bread with herb garlic butter.  OMG, never knew sourdough could taste so good.  Soft, warm and moist , not your typical  tough, cold and dry one.  It was presented on a cute cutting board which we thought was pretty original.  If they take pride in their bread, then the fare has to be delicious.  Our assumptions were correct and we were not disappointed.  The portions were humongous as well.   For 2 entrees and ice teas, the check came out to less than 50 bucks.  A worthwhile and memorable experience indeed.  5 stars!
After an afternoon of jetskiing, we asked the couple we rented from for a nice restaurant Sat night and they told us we had to go here. Â
This was the BEST meal we had in LHC the weekend we were there. Â How can you beat 1/2 price appetizer happy hour on a Saturday nonetheless?? Â You grill a perfect black n' blue filet mignon for me!! Â I'm still salivating over the meal we had!!!! Â Everything we had from the shrimp and crab bisque to the ahi tuna was top notch. Â The view of London Bridge w/ the boats passing by was a great setting to a great day. Â
We're going back for sure...to make more time for happy hour!!
