“Visited again on the 7th, did not disappoint. Went for breakfast they were very busy we were told 25 min. However a place opened at the bar so we got in quicker. Ordered Denver omelet with hashbrown. Got a cinnamon roll to go. Good thing we did because we could not have eaten it as there is always plenty of food. Got to the cinnamon roll on the 9th still so soft and so good. Would recommend 12 out of 10...I can not rave about this restaurant enough. My husband and I were looking for a late breakfast we saw an ad for the Rusty Rooster, went to find they were closing at 12:00 yep we arrived at 12:00. They happily sat us at a table knowing they were closing we offered to come another time. " I was a waitress I know how it is to seat a table at closing". The staff and Manager were all very pleasant and helpful with everything! The food.... oh my the food... so much food... and so delicious!! This is a must if you are anywhere near the strip. They do breakfast thru dinner I believe. I will be back on my next visit to the Lake Of The Ozarks.“

“Valentine's Day dinner 2024. Had reservations. Had to wait briefly while walk-in diners were seated before us. Not sure what was up with that. But we got a great table so maybe that's why we waited. Food was excellent as usual. Waitress was great. FYI, if you order a cocktail on ice, they charge $5 for a large ice cube, no warning. Odd. Could have taken the ice from our water glass for free. All in all, it was a pleasant experience with good food, just a couple unexpected quirks, atypical of Baxters.Older: View is great. Food is good and plentiful. Short wait for a "great table" by a wall (to be fair there was a window by my husband) at 149 pm on a Thursday before Memorial day.“

“We came in the off-season, and we had a fantastic dinner in the quiet. We very much enjoyed our cocktails, and the food was excellent. The service was perfection, and we would absolutely recommend for special occasions. I'd love to go back when it's warmer and we can really enjoy the lake views with our fabulous meal.“

“Our first impression driving up was that we were about to have a unique and memorable experience at The Tavern. The food did not disappoint and the service at our table was excellent. The only criticism I would give is when we walked in we had a few minutes to wait for our table and we felt like we were outsiders at the bar. We were going to get a drink and sit by the fire but it took awhile for the bartender to stop talking to what appeared to be regulars and wait on us. We did finally get drinks and sat down. The other thing that really struck us was how the decor seemed like an afterthought and the items looked like they were picked up at a yard sale for out dated restaurants. I pictured since it is an old rustic cabin it would be decorated with similar decor. Our table wobbled terribly and was very small and the chairs were stained and uncomfortable at the fireplace with a hodgepodge of mismatched cabinets packed in around them. We will probably return for the excellent food sometime but for the price it was not the atmosphere I would have expected.“

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Our server Tasha is always so amazing and so informative with their seasonal menus! We have had her as a waitress before and she has ALWAYS done an excellent job. when we come in we always hope to be in her section! I got a stain on my sleeve and she saw it and was so kind to bring a towel and a cup of club soda. always a good experience when she waits on us!“

“It was a warm Sunday in February, and the place was hopping. I am sure that in winter, they were not planning on the turnout that they had. This is my favorite little bar and grill at the lake. Was just too busy for the wait staff to keep up. Not necessarily their fault.“

“Val's is a staple on the west side. Food is consistent, but average. Nothing that stands out here. Don't go if you want homemade gravy or chicken fried steaks with your breakfast(hardly anyone makes good gravy anymore because they use the cheap mix, but their chick fried steaks aee from a freezer.) But the service is good, atmosphere welcoming, bathrooms need improvement, but overall a pleasant experience and while not my favorite, I'm sure we'll return.“
“We enjoy this hidden gem every time we go. Fun atmosphere. Fantastic food that is locally sourced. Missouri wines, whiskeys and various libations. The handrolled pasta is amazing. Sarah is a treasure. Our waiter Addison was new but still did a great job. Don't miss Capone's if your anywhere near the Lake of the Ozarks area.“

“Older architectural designs. I think the place is like 50 years old. Lakeviews from some tables. My wife had escargot and scallops and loved it. I like dipping bread in the juices. Can't do the escargot ? I had steak and shrimp and the couple with us had steak as well. We both ordered ours medium. Mine had no pink and theirs was rare. Not sure what the chef is doing behind the scenes there. The steak was still tender but a shame to do that to a filet. I understand they're famous for their prime rib if you're into that. Lots of parking. We stopped at the bar beforehand and had cocktails. The bartender was nice. Good service as well.“

“We have been here numerous times over the years. Everything was great until they were sold out of the dinner I order. However this was not the problem. When I wanted to glance again at the menu the waitress said “ I love ya but I need you to hurry up.” I felt this was rude and poor customer service. I didn’t even have a chance to glance (not study) at the menu before she said that. We had been seated for 25 min. Before she took our food order. In her defense, she did come back and ask again and said she just didn’t have time earlier.Parking: Boat slips and land parkingKid-friendliness: Nice beach and kid friendly, ice cream shack“

“Beautiful restaurant and quaint for a nice dinner date! Shrimp corn dogs appetizer was a great start followed by the lobster mac & cheese which was absolutely divine. Added a unique cocktail and was greeted by the owners during our wonderful evening.Kid-friendliness: Provided coloring supplies and a nice free water bottle for our 3-year-old to take home.“

“The service was very friendly & welcoming. They said it would be a 35 minute wait, (which was fine because they were visibly quite busy & the view of the lake was beautiful anyway), but we ended up only waiting about 15 minutes for a table. The food was delicious & reasonably priced (especially for the lake area). The wait for the food also seemed like no time at all, with the combination of the scenery & the live music. After dinner, we enjoyed a couple of cocktails at their adults all swim up bar. We didn't have the kids with us, but if we had, it wouldn't have been a problem at all since the kids' pool was just below. I will definitely be back this summer & others to follow. HIGHLY recommend!Kid-friendliness: The kids I saw there seemed to be having a blast.“

“Pretty big menu, something for everyone. French toast sandwich was amazing make sure you add some syrup! I got bacon instead of sausage. Hasbrowns were soggy and sausage tasted funny. Service was fast and friendly. Staff work very well as a team. Bathroom smelled funny. Would definitely come back again to try more of the menu.Kid-friendliness: They have a kid menu and it's a family reasturant. Kid approved.“

“My family of 3 had the pleasure of being served by Heather, it was our first time to this location. My hushand had the chicken melt & fries and i had the ruben & onion rings. And my picky kid had a burger with fries. She usually doesnt eat much but she actually ate her burger. Which is saying alot bc when i cook burgers at home she doesnt eat them. I was very shocked at how soft their ciabatta bread was so soft and actually edible. Ive had ciabotta at other places such as fast food chains like panera and mccalisters. Their bread was so hard and unpleasant. I got excellent service from our wonderful waitress. Who was informative about the menu and restaurant. She was super friendly and kind. We dont live in town but plan to return in the future. This spot is great for families and dates. The other side of the resturant is pup they serve beer and such. Im not sure what kids as we stayed on the family sife bc we were with our kiddo. Tha j you so much for a great first time experienceVegetarian options: Grilled cheese sandwich and vegetablesParking: Free on street parking and plenty of parking in surrounding area“

“Last time I drove 40 minutes out to Taboo they were closed by 6.. online said open till 8. We got there at 6:06. ? We went back that weekend & the teen who served us didn’t say welcome in, how’s it going, nothing. When we said thank you after ordering she didn’t say anything just walked off. I’ve been coming here since 2017-2018 when they opened. Used to love this place! Plus side is the food is still good.“

“Where to start…This course is awesome. A hidden gem in Laurie, MO.Chris who managers the course is fantastic to work with. I’m a complete amateur and he was welcoming to the point where I bought a membership.Now onto the actual restaurant review:Riley, TT, Alex, and the rest of the staff are friendly and attentive even on the busiest of days. The food is great (try the pizza!) and drinks are not your typical watered down golf course cocktail. It’s a super inviting atmosphere for even the most amateur of us.I’m somewhat of a regular here and plan on keeping it that way.“
“We rented a cabin not far from this local bar. We try to eat at locally owned places. We liked it so much we ate here 3 nights! We had Kate 2 nights as our server, she was super friendly and made a good drink! Crazy she was from Tacoma Washington too! Fun to hang out with a bunch of locals, where everyone knows each other! Best boasted chicken and good sides!If your in the area, go support this great business!!Retired Restaurant Girl ? ?“

“We love going to Encore when at the Lake of the Ozarks. The food, drinks and service are wonderful and the views are outstanding! We also loved our bartender, Kate. She is very knowledgeable about drinks, especially what makes a perfect old-fashioned. Kate is a lifelong resident of the lake and was full of valuable information.Parking: There is a main parking lot in front of the restaurant and pool. There is also additional parking on another level.“

“We haven’t been to Tucker Shuckers in years, but we will be back. The food was wonderful, drinks we great, but our server, Madison, made the night so enjoyable. She seemed genuinely excited to be working and spent just the right amount of time at the table.Thanks, Madison! We will be back.“
“Grabbed a drink and afternoon snack here after getting in town for a conference. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the lake view. Our waiter was new to the restaurant and did a great job. He checked back often to ensure our drinks were full and to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend the loaded bbq nachos!“
“Out of town looking for a grocery store and Hy-Vee was close. Being from Texas, I'd not heard of Hy-Vee and considered going to the nearby Target. I'm so happy I chose to try Hy-Vee! When we walked in we were greeted and asked if we needed help by a nice employee. We decided to explore the store for needed items for upcoming wedding. This store is immaculate and roomy! Aisles were wide and it was easy to locate what we needed due to good signage. On several occasions store employees asked if I needed help finding something. I did ask where the greeting cards were and expertly directed to their placement. The wine, beer and liquor selection was impressive! Specialty food items were provided in addition to generic brands. The fruit selection was fresh. Prices were very reasonable and many items were on sale. We didn't self check, as there were four checkers--and baggers--available. Smooth and quick checkout by a friendly checker. My only suggestion is to come to Texas! We could use a store like Hy-Vee! Well done! I wish I'd have taken pics of the inside to showcase cleanliness and layout. You'll have to try it for yourself. :)“
“I will be back a 2nd time to make sure I grab photos, as I was starving and didn’t have time to grab photos before the food was gone.I took my family to the Blue Cat for dinner and we were more then impressed. Food ordered included: Catfish, Lobster Roll, Ruben, Smash Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken wings and Fried Green Beans.The catfish is amazing and would highly recommend. The lobster roll is bigger then your head and amazing. Wings are super crispy and moist, and the fired green beans were A++. Their house chips are amazing, and we’re enjoyed by all.Highly recommend. Plenty of socks if you want to boat in, or a simple drive down to the end of HH.“

“This place was such a disappointment we drove an hour and a half and was treated horrible. I am retired Air Force heard about this place and wanted to give it a try. We had to clean our own table. The food was over cooked and dry and horrible, the bathrooms were dirty, no paper towels to dry your hands or soap. Drinks were spilled on the dance floor and employees just left them there. The dance floor was almost nonexistent (so small) and the music was so loud you literally couldn't hear the person next to you scream at you to talk. Much less get a drink order. Don't go you'll waste your money and time. We paid $44.00 for 2 small pulled pork sandwiches and 2 orders of fries and 4 beers. Never again..... horrible place and staff.“
