22 Best American Restaurants in Lake Ozark

“Everything was amazing from start to finish! The atmosphere, the service, and the food all 10/10. Becky was an awesome server.“

“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!“

“We can't say enough about this place! Our party was a little iffy at first, based on the drive down and the lack of signage, but as soon as we found the entrance and went downstairs, everything changed. The view was AMAZING, the welcome was friendly, and the seating was ample and clean.
Our server, Jessie, was phenomenal. Sassy, silly, honest with her recommendations, and went out of her way to give us recommendations for our vacation as well! 13/10 service
The food - beyond expectations. Our whole party has sensitive tummies, so the fact we were able to go out and about afterwards with no issues was the cherry on top of the deliciousness that exceeded our expectations! We got the chorizo benedict, crab cake benedict, chorizo bowl, and turkey benedict, with hashbrowns and home fries. All HIGHLY approved. Nothing was greasy, everything tasted fresh, everything came out super quick, and even the water was drinkable, not like your usual tap water!

We found out afterwards that there's a dog friendly path around the marina, so it seems the outdoor seating may be dog friendly, otherwise we would have brought the pooch along. The fish are super friendly too, used to being fed by the people, so that was fun to see them swim to the shoreline and hang out while we ate :)

We definitely plan on being back!“

“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 the nachos and pretzel sticks with beer cheese appetizers. The pretzels appear deep fried which gave them a nice crunchy texture and the beer cheese was delicious. The nachos have my favorite type of thin Cantina style chip and the queso was good. Service was good, are waitress was friendly and helpful. She also kept our drinks full. We sat outside with a great view of the main channel. We had several drinks off their show themed drink menu and they were all fantastic. I also enjoyed a strawberry Starburst shot.“

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

“This place meets the need of an easy lunch spot if you’re staying at the Lodge of the Four Seasons. We were seated quickly, had incredible service, got our food quickly and it was tasty. If you’re taking a break from the pool at the Lodge, this is a great option. Kids menu was short but exactly what we needed: Cheeseburger, Chicken Tenders. Jaylee was our server and she was attentive, even turned the fans on for us because our kids thought they looked cool. Jaylee is definitely an asset to the Lodge.

We also ate breakfast here. They were only serving the buffet, which was fine but this wasn’t communicated anywhere on the website, when we made our reservation, or at the front desk when we checked in. We were planning on ordering off the menu. A little communication on this beforehand could have gone a long way. No one can blame them for doing buffet on such a busy weekend. Just tell us ahead of time. Think of the guest experience for those who are staying at the Lodge.

Overall, I’m not sure why this place only has 3 stars. It is what it is. A convenient spot, good food, reasonable prices, and exceptional services. Manage your expectations folks“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks. Fun atmosphere!!“

“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.“
