30 Best American Restaurants near Sunrise Beach

“An amazing combination of wonderful food, service, and ambiance. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Mike was our server. He did not hover, but was aware how our meal progressed and made sure we had everything we needed.“

“Great food! The outdoor seating was perfect, not to mention the view was awesome. The pepper jack cheese bites did not disappoint.“

“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.)“

“Super fun time! Tonight was open mic night with Marcus Words. He was excellent! I ordered a steak sandwich and wow it was so good! I’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Excellent customer service with even better tasting food. Greetings with smiles and a sincere appreciation for your patronage. I think we just became repeat customers!“

“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!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Great place to eat. Especially for the price. Most of the food is really good. Has a really big selection. Some of the menu items are better than others but I eat there about 2-3 times a month for the last 5 years so that should say something 😁“

“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!“
