“We enjoyed our time at Baxter's Lakeside Grill. Scott did an excellent job serving us. The hostess took our picture when we entered the restaurant, but we never received a copy. I ordered a frozen drink, but when I received it, it seemed like it was sitting for some time before I received it. Normally it is red and yellow, but this time it was all red. Our food was great, well done. The birthday dessert was excellent. Great job.“

“I was in Lake Ozark for a week filming a movie and ended up at The Rusty Rooster for breakfast three times — and I can honestly say it became one of the highlights of my trip. The food is beyond delicious (every plate felt like the perfect start to the day), but what really stood out was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Kale, Emily, and Jimi for their friendly service — they made me feel right at home every single visit. And a massive thank you to Angela for not only her kindness but also the adorable Rusty Rooster merch (I couldn’t resist!). If you’re in Lake Ozark, do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast. Amazing food, even better people. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Well we went to another restaurant near Casablanca-we had our dog and was told they no longer accept pets. So as we were leaving someone eating there told us to go to Casablanca they have great pizza and you can take your dog. Well the restaurant that refused us did us the biggest favor. Casablanca has the BEST margarita, pizza bruschetta and chicken wings. And the service was superior-Chad thank you so much, we will definitely be back.“

“We I don’t usually mind slow service because we’re not in a hurry. But last Sunday we brought out of town guests and on top of being slow we were all served except they didn’t bring my sister’s breakfast. Finally, my husband had to go to the bar and find out where her breakfast was. in the meantime, we were all waiting and our eggs got cold. Also they didn’t have any milk. What restaurant doesn’t have milk? If the waiter would have been attentive, he would have realized he missed a meal.“

“First, I want to say we are from WI. We have been visiting the Ozarks since the 3rd of July. On July 4th, I rolled my ankle severely after leaving a boat rental place. We have 4 children. We had planned to do a nice dinner out but with my ankle we had to go back to where were staying. All I could think about in the wake of my pain is what my children were going to eat for dinner. The Office Neighborhood Pub popped up. We ordered food for everyone. My husband went to get our food, when leaving the restaurant our vehicle battery wouldn't work. Not only did the owner, Tony, help my husband jump our vehicle but he gave him a ride back to our place so he could feed us. The food was delicious. We got buffalo mac n cheese (10/10), the office cubano (9/10), the chicken Parm (10/10), the office steak sandy (10/10) and kids quesadilla. All wonderful. We can't thank the owner enough for the hospitality we received.“
