17 Best American Restaurants in Osage Beach

“I had an amazing experience here. The chef made my food way above expectations. I even went and thanked the chef personally after we ate our food“

“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……?“

“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!“

“We heard a lot of bad things about the breakfast buffet, but we really enjoyed it! The staff is super friendly!!! Our server Jenny H. was awesome, and refilled our drinks many times. Tons of options for breakfast, and my fiancé really enjoyed the omelet bar. We might have to come stay here again just to eat the breakfast! :)“

“Shrimp and grits were FABULOUS!!! Waitress was polite. Sports screens enjoyable.“

“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!!!!“

“I did not want to go through a drive-through, but I was looking for something quick. I don’t usually stop at Applebee’s, but I’m glad I did at this location. From the way I was greeted at the door to the way the server was quick and attentive, even the way the bus boys were cleaning the tables off, I was blown away about how quick and efficient this team was. And they were incredibly polite. Food was exactly as I expected, but the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for something quick, a clean restaurant, and decent to eat, stop here.“

“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 food was delicious and the place had a nice atmosphere. Our order was taken at our table. The waitress was very nice but seemed to be intoxicated. She forgot a few things, which isn't a big deal at all, but she was very flighty and all over the place. Other than that it's a very nice place!“

“We tried the Gin Joint on a whim and glad we did Drew the bar manager was so friendly and you could tell he took pride in the drinks he made. The drinks were very creative and made with all fresh ingredients. It’s hard to find anywhere that uses quality fresh ingredients and it makes all the difference! Best drinks at the lake in my opinion. Try the cherry margarita it’s perfect! My only complaint is that you can or have been able to smoke there. Just a personal opinion because I’m super sensitive to smoking. We didn’t get a chance to try the food but it looked great! Worth the trip just to have Drew make you a drink!“

“I am not happy that they doubled the price on the impossible burger.

Vegetarian options: They recently doubled the price on the impossible burger. It takes 660 gallons of fresh water to produce a beef burger and 5 gallons to produce an impossible Burger“

“Food was good and service was excellent, but they were out of Jalapeño Poppers due to a supplier issue. Fried Potato salad was good, different. Blackened Grouper was very good but we liked the Stuffed Mushrooms the most!!! I liked the Cucumber Lemonade too!! I would consider coming back again for the sunset view, if nothing else. Loved the patio/deck - perfect on a cool September night!“
