22 Best American Restaurants in Lake Ozark

“Baxters is one of my new spots to dine! Great people at this place! Chef Corey was amazing to talk to and the only one that knew the ingrediants/flavors/spices to my favorite steaks in the world, a Florentine Steak! I knew at that instance I was going to give this place a try. Talking to Ted ,the owner of Baxters ,about my bad experience at the restaurant next door,(JBH) and them charging us over a $120 for one plate( price was not concerning, but them hiding it until we ate the worst food in our fine dining experience was!) that included frozen lobster that could not be eaten all the way due to it being so tough from being frozen too long and not getting silverware for over 20 minutes after the dinner was served, he gave us confidence in his restaurant by personally inviting us with an open reservation of our timing and at any spontanious moment and showing me the kitchen which could not be exceeded in cleanliness or matched in appearance and professionalism. My business in serving commercial kitchens gives me the insight into many restaurants and this experience guarentees our return. Total recommendation in all they provide. Oh and lets not forget the service, top notch, there was not an empty glass or dirty dish left on our table more then 5 seconds and the timing of our courses insured a complete experience with no time to wait! Thanks to our server , Brittany, for the experience of a lifetime!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“My husband and I, went for the first time this morning. It was amazing!! I had the spicy rooster with add on one blueberry pancake….. delicious! I Had the left overs this evening for dinner. My husband had breakfast quesadillas and one biscuit and gravy. He said was super good! We will be back!!!!“

“The chili cheese dog was spot on! Great service! Will be back for sure!“

“What a beautiful cafe in a secluded area right on the lake. The food was amazing… breakfast and lunch. I would highly recommend this place.

BTW, I had the Turkey Melt with a side salad. It won’t leave you disappointed.“

“For my fellow 217 people traveling, the horseshoe is probably best described as “An Authentic Ponyshoe”. The beer cheese IS delicious, fries crispy and golden, burger and toast seasoned to perfection. It’s probably the closest thing to home you’ll find this side of the Arch. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!“

“I have Alpha Gal Syndrome and they were very accommodating. It was greatly appreciated.“

“We are locals, but had not been to the strip recently. We ordered Burgers, fries and Brussel sprouts TO GO. They all far exceeded our expectations. Probably the best burger we’ve had! And the service was really great…SUPER friendly and accommodating from the moment we placed our carry out order and continued until pickup. We will definitely be back!“

“We had breakfast here at the buffet, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The entire spread was impressive, offering a fresh and well-curated selection of dishes to choose from. While everything tasted good, the absolute highlight of the meal was definitely their yogurt bowl it was refreshing, beautifully prepared, and the perfect way to start the day.
Aside from the delicious food, the dining environment itself was incredibly comfortable. Despite the summer heat, the restaurant remained perfectly pleasant thanks to a series of uniquely oriented ceiling fans that kept a refreshing, cool breeze circulating over our table.
The overall atmosphere was calm and peaceful, allowing us to truly relax and savor our morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast while the warm morning sun shined gently on our faces through the large, tinted windows, which let in the perfect amount of natural light without any of the harsh glare or heat. It was a wonderful, serene dining experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great morning meal.“

“great food and reasonable prices support your local business I would give them 10 stars been here several times never disappointed 👍“

“Was there last night for a special event. Very nice place, well designed with a large fire pit by the stage. Lot's of room for dancing during concerts. Will try out the happy hour and the weekend breakfast. I heard they have the best chicken tenders. Will see.“

“The sushi was so fresh and absolutely delicious! We enjoyed watching Leah create beautiful rolls just for us. The squid salad was so tender and fresh, and we couldn’t decide which we loved more…the Tokyo roll, the Tsunami roll, or the White Tiger which was almost considered dessert it was so, so good! It’s def our new sushi go-to. Very highly recommended!“

“We love coming in for lunch! The French onion grilled cheese is incredibly delicious! I also highly recommend the pink margarita! Bryan is the best GM/server at the lake... and may I say, he's looking very svelte these days (not that he told me to say that! lol)!“

“Wonderful drinks, food, and staff. The cauliflower bits were amazing. They made me a custom martini that was perfect.“

“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.“

“I would absolutely say they had the best pizza that I've ever had. I've lived around the lake my whole life. Alley Cat's Pizzeria and Pub is by far the best place to go and enjoy Good Food, Awesome Environment and Very Good Service.“
