The inside has been newly renovated and seems the restrooms (there are two) are both shared gender. That being said, the employees should visit them more often to be sure they are stocked and clean (and to be shouted the floor is not wet). We had a group of 5 and then sometimes had a couple more. No table service, you had to go to the bar and order and wait for your drinks. There was food to order, burgers, wings, etc but we only had drinks. The staff was friendly, but it is a newer place and possibly working through that. Will try again in the future

The pickle shots were briny and a little spicy, so good they make you think you need another! Our food was freshly made and piping hot! (We were cautioned that it would be, thank you) The dry rub wings were big, juicy and crispy. The rub, their own recipe, was phenomenal. Brown sugary with a little heat and other flavors. Their fried pickles are the best I've ever had. Sandwich slices, hand dipped. So good! This is a Veteran owned business as well. Thank you for your service. We'll be back soon!

The decor, views and staff was next to perfection- absolutely no complaints. We started with Diet Coke and Baxter's sunset drink, a beautiful looking drink - fun mix of mango margarita along with raspberry daiquiri. The drink was very tasty and refreshing. For our mains, we got the French dip (the best French dip in MO as per me, filled with juicy shaved prime rib, and Swiss cheese with super tasty Au Jus sauce on the side. I got it with perfectly seasoned delicious roasted potatos! This sandwich took me straight to heaven - emmmm. The rest of my family members got the blackened Mahi Mahi which was topped with house made mango salsa along with some rice and veggies. It was a slightly sweet and tasty savory dish. They also got the Cedar plank Salmon Grilled perfectly along with red wine Dijon sauce and some veggies on the side. Both were cooked well and very different refreshing flavors. We also got some sweet potato fries to go along with the fishes. To end the tasty lunch, we saved some room for some dessert! We got the Rich brownie, served with vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. On one side, we were trying to keep the sugar intake low by sharing but on the other, It was a fight to eat the most bites of the ice cream haha lol. Overall, from the drinks to the entrées, to the sides, and the desert was perfect without any disappointments. If you're visiting Lake of Ozarks, then you have to make a stop at Baxter's Grill without fail!

All were cooked very well, delivered to our table hot with attentive service. No drinks tonight - but, based on past experience, the bar is solid! If I could give partial stars, I would rate Baxter's in the range of 4.25 stars or so. Consistently above avverage!

My side salad was good - perfect size, no iceberg lettuce, greens were fresh & crisp. For my entree, I had the Grouper. The flavor of the fish was great, but the filets were overcooked & tough. The mashed potatoes also had great flavor, but were undercooked with big chunks of solid raw potato in the center of the pile. They charge a fee if you pay with a credit card, so bring cash. Overall I was disappointed with the quality of the food, especially at that price point & with so many positive reviews. I would not eat here again.

It is…read moreone of our favorite spots on land and my stepdad is always wanting to stop every time we are in town for the wings. Out of the four of us three of us got wings. Our favorite are the original trashed wings. They are spicy, but with ranch the flavor and crispyness hits the spot. My favorite thing is the ribbies and wings. For $17 you get 4 ribs and 5 wings. It was the perfect amount of food for me and a steal for ribs and wings. I tried the chipotle BBQ and I also loved this flavor. Still spicy, but not as firey as the original. We also ordered some onion rings for an appetizer. They are thick! I am more of a fan of thinner onion rings, but these were still good and I loved the sauce. It was decently busy when we went, but our service was just okay. Our server took a little bit to take our order and bring us the check which we understood since it was busy, but there were larger parties that got sat after us, that were in and out before we were. Overall, we really enjoyed our food and it's a great place to stop for some BBQ.

I decided to get a smoked salmon wrap with a side salad and bacon wrapped prawns. For $17.99 I do have to say those five little prawns weren't worth it. It's crazy how overpriced those are to be honest. The smoked salmon wrap was really good, but felt like it was missing something. I believe I read they smoked the salmon in house... which is awesome! But it was definitely lacking some pizzazz. One of these days I'll have to go back and try some of the barbecued foods... or the smoked turkey, which also sounds really good. I sat at the bar and service was super fast and friendly. Inside was western themed, and the place had a lot of people in it, was loud and busy, so I know it's worth giving it another try.

They are fans of the Ozark series and were especially excited to experience the restaurant. Unfortunately, the visit was extremely disappointing. The service, food quality, and cleanliness fell well short of reasonable expectations. It took approximately 20 minutes simply to place our order and another 45 minutes for the food to arrive. The table we were seated at was sticky and still had water rings from previous guests. After waiting about 10 minutes with no attention, I had to go to the bar myself to request a cloth to wipe the table and to obtain menus. While the restaurant did not appear particularly busy, it was clearly understaffed. Our party of five ordered sandwiches, one appetizer, and one beer (the rest of us had water). The total came to $134. The bill was presented on a handheld device, and when I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told one was not available. This only added to the frustration of an already poor experience. I left feeling embarrassed for the Lake area and regretful that I had brought guests there. I will absolutely not return.
