“I have had dinner here few times this summer. The food is always good. If they would serve bread, it would be a 5 star. He mussels are delicious, but you really need some bread to go with them. The only bread they have is cornbread that is an additional charge. I’ve never been to a restaurant with no bread available……?“

The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Whether you're there for a casual bite or a full meal, you won't be disappointed. The new High Tide Pool area is a total game-changer! Super clean, great energy, and a fun crowd without being overwhelming. The staff at the pool was just as incredible as inside—on point, helpful, and always keeping the vibe just right. Redheads easily stands out as the best lake bar and restaurant in the area. Great atmosphere, amazing food and drinks, top-tier service—we had an unforgettable time. No complaints at all! Can't wait to come back!“

“We stopped by this place for brunch on our travels. The food was fantastic. My partner had the Florentine crepe and he said it was one of the best crepe’s he ever had. It was very flavorful. I had the corned beef hash with two eggs and it was so good. They made the hash exactly how I like it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Eggs were perfect and coffee was good. The service was great and quick considering the place was full when we got there. I highly recommend stopping here this place is worth it!“

“This is our 2nd time staying at Inn Grand Glaze and definitely will be a returning customer. I can't begin to say what a true genuine kind hearted person Chris is he definitely makes you feel comfortable with his hospitality and smile not to mention his accent.The entire staff seems to really enjoy aiming to please there customer's like Ralph &Tammy in the restaurant/Bar they do a amazing job as well really enjoyed getting to know them both when they had a moment to talk!! Because there both constinuesly busy making sure everyone was taking care of didn't get everyone else's name but there all doing a wonderful job.The hotel could use some updating but I'm not complaining didn't stop us from having a great time.“

“Can’t rate the buffet as we ordered off the menu but our food was cheap (chilaquiles and a pancake for our little one) and decent. Nothing to write home about but the cost for all our food was less than the cost of a buffet. Service was slow but they were busy, so we wont knock them too much. We will come back to try it again.“

“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!!!!“

“I recommend the fried green beans and burgers (I've had the Dam Burger, and the Hangover burger.) It's not too pricey for the portions, and the sauce cups are filled pretty full. The burgers are a little dry, but they have a nice crisp and even texture on the outside of them. The flavor of the burgers are good as well, and I recommend adding boom boom sauce on them (if you like something spicy.)“

“The owners Teresa and Dean are fantastic people and the staff is incredible. Believe it or not the food is even better. Come for the incredible food and stay for the terrific service! One of a kind at Lake of the Ozarks! Pro tip, try the jambalaya!“

“Decent casual restaurant with a familiar grill-and-bar atmosphere. The menu offers classic options like burgers, chicken, ribs, appetizers, salads, and drinks, making it useful for lunch, dinner, or a relaxed meal with friends or family. Prices are reasonable, but the experience may vary with service, wait times, or food consistency. Overall, it works well when you want a simple, casual meal in a familiar setting.“

“First time there tonight. Excellent dinner from the lobster stuffed mushrooms to the salad, excellent blue cheese dressing and crumbles and the very good prime rib. Our service was also very good.“

“Backwater Jack’s is always a great time and one of my favorite spots to swing by at the lake. Even though the weather rolled in with cloudy skies and a little rain while I was there, the atmosphere still delivered. The view overlooking the water was calm, peaceful, and relaxing for the afternoon, but you can absolutely tell this place knows how to turn up the fun when the crowd rolls in.

The food was fantastic and full of flavor. Stevie, my waitress, was phenomenal — charming, attentive, and very helpful with recommending the Garlic Chicken Pasta, which definitely did not disappoint. Service like that really makes a place stand out, and she made the whole experience even better.

I’ve been here before and always had a good time, which says a lot about consistency. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing lakeside meal, drinks with friends, or a lively time later in the evening, this place really offers the full Lake of the Ozarks experience. I’ll absolutely be back again soon.“

“We went for Easter lunch Buffet, and it was outstanding. So much to choose from and it was all amazing. Great selection of food, great price and the ambiance was wonderful from the gentleman playing jazz to the photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny. So beautifully done. Thank you for a lasting memory. We will definitely be back.“

“We stopped at Steak'n'Shake today. We love the fact it's fast and fresh. Today a school bus full of kids come in. At least 25 kids came in to eat. Doris, Sue and McKenzie we working. They bust their butt's waiting on everyone. We watched as the manager and assistant manager never once came out to help these poor girls. I worked retail for 30+ yrs and in my job the Management would be out helping where needed. They could have came out and cleared tables.“

“The beach chips were to die for we ordered a second one! Then we got the crab cakes which had a ton of crab and great dipping sauce. Then we got the fish and chips. I like the thinner fish strip with light breading because it made for a super crispy bite and was made better with the citrus tartar sauce.“

“I have enjoyed my time at The Fish and Company a couple of times! Great atmosphere, wide range of food options and drinks and the best talent! If you can catch Dale Blue, he is very entertaining and talented! However they also bring in so much local talent to make your experience one you won’t forget!! I live over 5 hours away or I would probably be there every weekend! 😉“

“Had great time with friends food was great service was wonderfully inviting“

“Bacon Jam Burger was very good! Fried Grouper is my favorite! Opening weekend 2026, so they were out of a couple of my favorites, (snap peas and Bleu cheese dressing) but our server, Jessa, was pretty good. We'll be back!“
