Lunch or dinner by boat

Lake of the Ozarks offers a very unique opportunity to go to lunch or dinner by boat. A short boat ride by water or a quick trip on land and you may enjoy all the lake has to offer in great food, a fun atmosphere and the perfect view of the lake. Try The Cave, Bull Dogs, Papa Chubby’s*, Franky & Louie’s Beachfront Bar & Grill*, Captain Ron’s* or The Fish and Company.

The Cave Bar and Grill –just 2 miles from the resort by water and you can enjoy the pool for kids, the swim-up pool bar for adults, and an area with cornhole. There’s something for the whole family. We highly recommend – good drinks, good food and good service!
