“Stopped into Chic's n Dix as our lunch stop with about 19 motorcycles and had a fantastic experience! The drinks were cold, the food was fabulous, the service and atmosphere was great! I'll definitely be back.“

“Wonderful place. A Lighthouse school“

“On 9/12/2025 my husband and I were having dinner at Papa Chubbys. We were there on our motorcycle as it is Bikefest weekend at the lake. My husband had a medical emergency as we were eating. There was not a person that was working there that did not jump in to help us. Our waitress was amazing. The girls that came from behind the bar to call 911, and help us, were amazing. The gentleman that brought candy and a cupcake to help get his blood sugar up, was amazing. The people sitting at the table next to us, I am not sure what I would have done without their help in that moment. They kept me calm, they helped me take care of him. Everything. This place, the staff, the people are absolutely top notch. We will be spending more time and money going forward at Papa Chubbys. Thank all of you for everything.“

“Great time! Our server was awesome, so friendly, accommodating, and genuinely trying to help us enjoy our evening. We watched the sunset and listened to a band. The mojitos were delicious! Will be a regular stop!“

“I usually cum here every summer at least 2-4 times per week while on our vacation...I enjoy the food very much. but this last time I witnessed a situation that I still don't know how I feel about it....I literally watched an employee totally get wasted like slurring her words to the point i of not recognizing what she was saying ..she started becoming a bit hostile and loud almost to the point of obnoxious while we ate our dinner there last weekend then we were there enjoying our friends and conversation long enough I watched that girl barely able to walk to her car and proceed to drive her vehicle (very much under the influence) thru the parking lot letting passerbys Kno she had to go pick up her child...and mind u this waitress was not our waitress that evening but it was very clear by her behavior getting totally wasted was just another night working and me being a worried mom I ended up almost glued to her that evening hoping maybe I was overreacting....I was not ....the fact of her boss allowing this behavior on the clock then letting her leave still inhibited to pick her child up is beyond irresponsible and wreckless...I mean lord have mercy if this woman should wreck one night leaving there....I'm just saying you would think they would have a limit what u can drink while working at least for everyone's safety. come on lake ozark ..DO BETTER!!“

“Awesome staff !! The best food !!! AND #1 onion rings !!!!! This place rocks !!!! Loved it and will be back !! Chad“

“We love coming in for lunch! The French onion grilled cheese is incredibly delicious! I also highly recommend the pink margarita! Bryan is the best GM/server at the lake... and may I say, he's looking very svelte these days (not that he told me to say that! lol)!“

“Chrissy was so hospitable and took care of our family! Pizza was tasty would definitely recommend“

“DJ Todd is BEYOND AMAZING!!!!! Nicest DJ I have ever met, incredibly funny and played all the songs I requested. 100/10 recommend him, YOUR THE BEST TODD!!!!!!!“

“if you want a delicious Cheeseburger and Onionrings the lil bass hole is the place to go! The staff and at mosphere is excellent. The customers are friendly jsut a great place to go have great food and fun“

“If you want a typical bar and grill local restaurant, this is the place. Plenty of TVs and beer on tap, raucous patrons shouting about shuffleboard. My husband’s chicken tenders and my bacon cheddar chicken sandwich hit the spot. Delish.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and loud atmosphere.“

“visiting from Iowa, saw they had breakfast... HIGHLY recommend them, total old school breakfast, plus they have a old school pinball game and it's free!! we came in super early, so a few of the friends we are assuming had to step in to help with our party of 9, and it was the best!! we will differently start coming here every year for breakfast on our vacation!!“

“We always have a good time at the office and they have several gluten free options. Angie and the staff are amazing!“

“Love this place. People are great.“

“Went to Docknockers because it was right down the road from our air b&b. We ordered a bucket of crab legs-potatoe skins-buffalo shrimp.
The crab legs were amazing! (4clusters)
Bar service was excellent! Believe the hype-Chris is the best! Great bartender and awesome to talk to about the area and the lake itself. We are only here for a few days but this establishment alone will keep us coming here all the way from Minnesota (9.5hr drive).“
