We had good service over the Thanksgiving weekend and bought a bunch of shirts. This place has to be a lot of fun during the summer and the view was great!! However, the wine is way overpriced. Kendall Jackson is a vineyard from my home and they will charge you 3 times the normal retail price and the food is typical pub fare, not fine dining but a lot of fun!! read more

Food was wildly over seasoned - hopefully it was just an off night. Appetizers and drinks were good.

I ordered a Ribeye Steak medium well and specified it be "melt in your mouth" tender... what I got was a charbroiled piece of meat I couldn't even cut with a knife. Never Again!!! I got to sit there while the rest of my party ate their dinner which was what I elected to do because if I had taken the managers offer of something else "on the house" the rest of my family would have been finished eating before I even received my supper... read more

Visited this place mid-week for dinner with a party of 10 (5 adults/5 kids). The customer service was unacceptable. We waited over an hour for food. We ordered 2 dozen raw oysters which were served with only Tabasco and lemon. When we asked for saltine crackers, cocktail sauce and horseradish, the waitress returned with a ranch dressing mixture and club crackers. She told us they had no cocktail sauce (and the place serves seafood). We had to ask for our salads and then finally got our food. The restaurant was not crowded at all. There was plenty of wait staff and they all seemed to be able to do their jobs with the exception of our waitress. The bill for our food/drinks was over $400 and 20% gratuity was already included due to a large party (half of which were children). We determined that maybe the waitress cared less because her tip was guaranteed. We don't mind spending on a good meal and good service, but this place is over priced for what they offer. Customer service goes a long way when the food is that poor. We will not return to this restaurant. read more

OMG. I never expected it but I was eating our appetizer and went into labor. Not only did our server, China Anderson, get our food to the table quickly, hot and exactly as we ordered, but she also helped deliver my twins and dock our boat. Needless to say one of our precious children is now named China. The other one hasn't been named yet but my husband is leaning towards "Laos". We'll see about that... read more

My group showed up at 12:30 am for enjoy some drinks and food to finish out our vacation. The website showed that the restaurant closed at 2:00 am. When we got there, everyone ignored us until we finally found someone outside. He was rude and commented, "Doesn't it look like we are closed," when we asked if they were still open. Very rude staff. They either need to update the hours online or the staff choose to close early? Either way, we know we will never return. read more

Had a great night out with friends during our first time visiting Captain Ron's. Our experience was enhanced by the warm, friendly, and stellar service of Kenzie (server) Everybody knows my common law wife is extremely high maintenance, but Kenzie was able to achieve the impossible and get a thumbs up from her for the outstanding service provided. My fav drink was the "Pain in the Ass" (I may have had more than one ;) On a side note, this was a special vacation for our group as this is the weekend my friend was to propose to his girlfriend. This was a challenge for him, particularly due to the fact that his girlfriend is from Russia, and speaks/comprehends little English. When I mentioned this to Kenzie, she said "No Worries. And asked my friend exactly what words he intended to use in his proposal. My buddy relayed in English to Kenzie precisely the 5 minutes long speech he had hoped to give as part of his proposal, once he mastered the Russian language after taking another year or two of lessons. To our shock and dismay Kenzie began acting as interpreter, translating his words to his future bride to be in fluent and perfect Russian! Who would have known?! (She said "yes" btw ;) Bravo Kenzie! Thank you for everything and God Bless, and hope to see you at the wedding (will need passport) read more

We have been coming here for years. It is overpriced and the food is mediocre at best, but It i btw, we would have left but it was Sunday night at 7:30 and there were no other nearby dining options!s a fun place and the kids love it.We waited 20 minutes before someone showed up to take our drink order, 15 more minutes for our drinks to arrive. My husband had the steak and baked potato.' The potato should have never left the kitchen with a big black rotten spit in the middle. 15 minutes later, he got another potato and his steak was now cold. I had to go to the bar to get a second drink because the waitress was just standing around chatting. I had to got get her, she was standing at the bar chatting, to get our check. I went up and tipped the bartender and told him that in my whole life i have never stiffed a waitress ,but tonight was a first. He wanted to know what hsppened and I explained and he wanted to make it right, but i told him we dd not want anything. We just won't be back. There us a clear lack of training and no management presence. Btw no social distancing or disinfecting going on here and not a face mask in sight!!! read more

This was one of our worst dining experience in the lake. The restaurant was not busy but it took over an hour to get our food. That would have been ok but the food was mediocre at best. read more

Waited FOURTY minutes to be told they can't seat us anymore. Not to happy sitting in 90 degree weather.

Awful. This is my second time coming here and it was terrible. We waited for over an hour for 2 people to get a table. During that time we sat at one of the outdoor bars. We waited 25 minutes to get a drink. Once we got a table, we waited for over 15 minutes for a server. Our server never came. The 8 person table next to us was there way before we sat down and didn't even have drinks yet. We just left without getting any service. Staff your restaurant appropriately!!!! read more

Maybe they forgot how to cook and serve after shutdown. Was there with family including kids to hang on beach and restaurant Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. A party of about 10, including 3 hungry kids, were seated. About half hour later 2 adults were served their meal. Then about another 45 minutes later the rest of the table was served and two orders were wrong. Order of seafood nachos was totally soggy and goopy and we threw it away along with two other horrible plates. Not one word of apology from staff and the manager did NOT come out and apologize. I'm hoping they will get their act together and we will try again giving them the benefit of the doubt read more

Had to wait an hour for our food. 4 parties got here 30 minutes after us and got food before we did. We complained to the manager and the manager was very rude to us when we told her about this. Customer service is an issue amongst management. When she saw our age, she thought we were trying just to get free drinks and tried taking advantage of us because of this. Service from the waitress was great! Food was good. read more

Awesome beach kids will love. Great drinks and beach volleyball. All that is free other than the drinks which are very good and reasonable priced. we have tried multiple times to eat there so we are not just using them. The food when fresh is great. Problem is that almost every time we eat there food is cold, takes forever to get out. Fastest service I've had is 45 min from order to food. Worst? 1 and 1/2 hrs. Wish they could get new restaurant management. read more

Never saw a server after 15 minutes. I cant speek for the food or the staff, maybe you wont get ignored. Will not be back. What a waste of time. read more

Disappointed, went over Labor Day weekend, long wait to get a table, ignored at the bar, and the hamburger tasted like a frozen patty.

We left after waiting 1 hour for our order. a couple of salads did come...the worst Cesar ever...tasted like italian dressing. Was not even that busy. Went to the Branding Iron and had a great meal with excellent service. "I cannot imagine how bad the service will be this summer." read more

I've been here many times over the last few years. In fact I'm sitting under the tent near the outdoor bar right now. The food is generally fine. Often a little greasy as they haven't perfected the deep fryer like the Potted Steer had. Problem with Captain Ron's is the service. Waiters have no clue how to properly wait tables. It gets so bad the it is really irritating. The owner has so many other businesses going that he neglects this place (at least two other restaurants and a property management company). He like many others in the restaurant business think they can just increase their income by opening anothe location without properly preparing their current restaurant to run without as much of their personal attention. Until the owner figures out how to manage multiple locations Captain Ron's is a place best avoided. read more

The place looked great. The staff was friendly. The burger was good and the beer was cold. That makes this place awesome. And the they have PWC boat slips that you drive you ski up onto. Definitely a place that I recommend and I would like to go back to when I'm in town. read more

Atmosphere is cool and service was good but food not so good. Very disappointed. Try Nautifish Rum Bar. Excellent food!

The food is great, we come here almost every time we come to the lake which is pretty often. We usually get the blackened grouper tacos or the buffalo chicken wrap, both delish. My son loves coming here because of the bounce house and the beach, that being said there are several things that could be improved upon. For one, they never have the cardinal game outside in the deck. That really bothers the hubby. Second, they quit giving out Frisbees and or buckets with the kids meal. That upsets the kiddo. During the summer, you wait for ever for your food. Something needs to be done about that. Since they bill themselves as a kid friendly place, they should recognize that people with kids cannot wait that long for food. An inevitable meltdown is sure to occur and that's good for no one. They should have servers that wait on you for drinks on the beach, they would make so much more money. read more

Sub-par. Slow service, long wait for a table. Longer wait for food. Chaos in management. Drinks good. Food bad.

Cool spot at the lake to kick back and let the kids play. Plenty of things to do and some amazing boats to see along with the awesome drink and food menus. Neat little beach and swimming area with plenty of seating and space so it doesn't seem like your up on a neighboring partier. Great place for large groups, small gatherings or couples. Moderately priced and easy to find by land or water. read more

I waited at their bar area waiting to be served. The good looking women got all the attention, and after 30, yes THIRTY minuets, I gave up trying to get my FIRST beer and left. Went to Marty's in camdenton, and had a beer in hand in less than 1 minuet. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND read more

Captain Ron's food is consistently good. Their workers are very good at their jobs and friendly. The drinks are not always consistent -- depends on who's bartending that night. 2 out of the 3 nights we were there the drinks were good. The 1 night they weren't, the bartender needed more training obviously. read more

Great atmosphere. Lots of food choices. The Nalu's nachos with Crab and Shimp was awesome as well as the Buffalo Chicken pizza. Something to do for everyone. The band that was playing on that Saturday night was great for dancing! Looking forward to a return visit next time to head to the Lake of the Ozarks read more

Hey Captain Ron's don't seat people who, because they don't want to be jerks, immediately ask if your kitchen is still open at 8:59pm, tell them yes you can still get food and then go out of your way to ignore them. We were starving and would have left you a 50% tip for drink, food and good service. Your loss chubby waiter that walked by our table at least 6 times. read more

Looks like Caption Ron's could be alot of fun in the summer. Wrong time of year to go but got something to eat. We had the shrimp special all you can eat for 15.00 It was boiled with a bit of cajun seasoning. The waiter was very nice and very good. The shrimp was good but to much of it is to much. No one there when we got there but loaded up fast. Prices seemed very good. Would go back. Seen alot of things on the menu to order. They were closing after the first of the year so winding down for the year. read more

My family (all 12 of us, age range of 1-70) had dinner here. The atmosphere was great for the whole family-- we had a lot of fun-- but the food was only so-so. I had the crab crusted fish, which was way too heavy on the creamy crab sauce and masked the really yummy grilled fish. No one seemed to be thrilled with their entrees, but they weren't too bad. The sweet potato fries were fantastic. A-OK seems like a good rating. read more

Fun place. Ok food for our group of five. It would have been great if the gift shop would have been open on a Sunday afternoon!

We thought this place was good but could use some advise on how to improve. The nachos -- well,, get rid of the lettuce and put something better on them. This is a local bar staple and you can make them better if you want to. Other food items we had were good and the pizza was good too. PS. when the bartenders are mixing the drinks outside,, you need to do something about the fly thing going on..I walked away instead of ordering a frozen drink.. i thought a fly might end up in it.... read more

The worst service I've had in forever. We had a large party and we came in a great mood. To make a long story short: I really wanted to like this place. The worst part was the double standard. The minority members of our party did not get what they ordered. Even after we tried to get it fixed the servers would not fix it. The rest of us got our orders no problem. When I asked for them to fix it for my black Mother-in-law the manager refused. She did give my white husband money off our ticket however (but not my Mother-in-laws). Very strange... read more

Been here before. It was fine! This time we arrive about 5. We are told a 45 minute wait. We are fine with that. We go to the bar to wait. Lots of empty tables but we think they are going to seat people. Forty-five minutes later the tables are still empty. My spouse goes to the hostess to inquire about our wait time. She says she's was just going to page us. She seats us. A waitress finally takes our order. We wait and wait and wait. A table of guys come in about 15 minutes after we are seated. She waits on them. Brings their drinks and we are still waiting for our drinks. We left. Just two of us. My spouse is a big tipper. She lost out on us. The bar people were very nice, tho! read more

Place was great! The waitress was so polite and friendly and she was on top of it when our drinks was low! Will definitely go back! And the food was awesome! read more

Captain Ron's - View from outside - American Near Me - Sunrise Beach, Missouri

Good wings I got the garlic Parmesan love how they are smoked and Philly steak wasn't too bad and really good place to watch a game and hang out and sweet potato fries are good to fun place and bought me a T-shirt to pretty cool read more

We visited Captain Rons' for dinner and drinks. It didn't disappoint! We ended up staying for about 4 hours. We came early for dinner and drinks. We ordered the Davey Jones nachos and Grouper dinner. Both were fantastic. We took advantage of the drink specials and left a bit tipsy.... But I digress. After dinner, we sat in the chairs right on the beach, had a few more drinks, then went inside to enjoy the fantastic jazz music by the live band. The service was attentive and prompt the whole evening and we couldn't have had a better time. When we return to the Lake of the Ozarks, we will definitely be back. PS We plan to go back for lunch tomorrow before we head home tomorrow. So....enough said. read more

Fun place to go for entertainment, but not the place for a good meal. We had blackened grouper dinner, fish was not blackened, it was covered in Cajun season salt. It was served on over cooked wild rice, very chewy. Coconut shrimp was terrible, 3/4 breading and 1/4 thin butterflied shrimp. Great news it was served on the same rice. Go for drinks, entertainment and maybe appetizers, not a full dinner. read more

We were at Captain Ron's this past Labor Day weekend Sat hung out entire afternoon on beach. I am giving them 5 starts mostly because of service and atmosphere. We had China as our waitress. She worked her tail off handling the entire beach service. She was very attentive, friendly always a smile and was pulling an 8am to 10pm shift. Captain Rons was short staffed on beach but China did her best to keep everyone happy!! She made our experience alot better. We tried all different kinds of drinks, Dirty Banana, Rum Runners, AMF, Miami Vice all was good. The food was OK, because could just eat bar food. Chicken strips mostly thin /fried not much meat. Our daughters went in and had crab legs, said they were good but not Alaskan so had to work hard for the meat. M80's band was really good cuz we knew every song and they could sing all of them well!! read more

One of our favorite places to visit when at the lake! Has sand volleyball courts, a bounce house for the kids and a lovely beach for all ages. Staff is always so friendly and makes a delicious Pina Colada! read more

Great food with not much of a wait. Plenty of activities for the kids or family to do while waiting.
