16 Best American Restaurants in Osage Beach

“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……?“

“Service and food were very awesome!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and outstanding service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. 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!“

“My 94 year old mom and I visit the Osage Beach Culver's every two weeks while my son is getting treatment at Lake Regional. Vicky is always so friendly and helpful. When she sees us coming she comes to open the door and offers lots of assistance while we're eating. Her service is 5-star!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic to know this place is run by a true American patriot. We will always enjoy fantastic food and great service here.“

“Beth was our waitress….. she is always outstanding.“

“Just wanted to say “thank you” to Zach, the wonderful customer service man at HyVee. My daughter ran out of diapers while the house was on quarantine and he went out of his way to make sure we where able to get them. You are appreciated!!!!“

“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.“

“The service was terrible, we eat there alot but our waitress tonight was the worst ever, she never came around we had to twice go to the bar and purchase drinks , she was not friendly And very unconcerned about us. I will still go back because it is one of our favorite places to eat , drink and socialize with our friends. The nachos were really bad the Chips were all crumbs from the bottom of the bag and very little toppings would not order them again stick with the meals. Overall still one of our favorites for now but service us important at the lake because their are many options .“

“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.“

“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.“
