BBQ nachos
Stephanie G.

The literal only reason this place is even getting two stars is for those BBQ Nachos. The French dip gave me food poisoning. Let me explain. My family and I took an autumn drive to the lake, and due to our summer experiences, we decided to eat at H. Toads. Let me tell you, the winter off season H. Toads and the summer one...are not the same. First, this place is gorgeous and has amazing views of the lake! We ordered Chicken Rangoons, BBQ Nachos for the table, a breakfast burger for my son, Fish & Chips for myself and a French Dip for my grandma. My auntie ate a little off everyone's. The chicken Rangoons weren't bad but were dense and I feel like they needed something fresh like some green onions inside or something. The nachos slapped. Seriously the best thing we ordered. The fish and chips were so...sooo bland. No salt to be seen anywhere. My son said the burger wasn't bad. But the real villain of this story...the French Dip. Originally my grandma ordered the French dip. But the bread was too hard for her so her and I switched plates. Thank God. Because I haven't had food poisoning that bad in a really long time and I'm so glad it was me who got it and not my 80-year-old grandmother. It was really...really bad for a few days after. I hadn't eaten anything at all leading up to that either so I know it was the culprit. Not to mention the meat was gristley and the Aujus had no flavor or salt. They really need to get it together with the seasoning. Our server was the best. Super sweet and kind, and on top of our drinks. Unfortunately it just didn't make up for how absolutely terrible the food was. In my opinion, if you're going to try this place... do it in the summer. When they are busy, going through their food and re-ordering quickly, so you don't get food poisoning. And when they aren't cutting back on what they are making their food out of...or shortening the menu...and I assume kitchen staff...to try and make it through the winter. Your stomach will thank you later.

Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta

Who can resist going to a place called the Horny Toad? Not to mention I ended up with the nickname Tobi Frog. And... a horny toad is real. It's a type of lizard. It's a whole complex with a resort, 3 or more story restaurant, floating docks for use, pool area with a swim up bar and u-shaped sofas. Boy got the Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta. Very good, light and flavorful citrus. I went with the Toad's Wild Ride Burger. It was so juicy and cooked perfectly. You could.also taste the grill flavor. The sweet potato fries were crispy and I got buffalo sauce for dipping. We got to hear a band warming up and doing aound check They were really good. I can imagine it is a hopping place in the evenings with great live music. Our waitress, Ella, took excellent care of us.

We had the buffet for breakfast. Kids liked it fine. I however did not care for much. The fruit was good and the French toast was ok. They did have an omelet station. Our server was friendly. I would not return for breakfast.

Mahi club and regular fries
Lindsey K.

Had a nice lunch on the patio overlooking the view. Tristan was a great server. The blue chips were addictive and we finished them quickly. I had the mahi club which was pretty good but my husbands Mac and cheese was phenomenal though definitely not light or low calorie lol. Also loved the fruity fuel frozen drink it wasn't super sweet and it was refreshing!

Creole pasta
Danielle R.

The food was phenomenal, however the service was subpar. We came to watch the finals of the ncaa march madness , and we were not seated for a while although it was completely empty. Once seated they told us they closed at 9 so we had to eat quick and finish the game elsewhere. Staff was nice and great location. But I wish they were a little more attentive.

Loaded BBQ Nachos
Michelle B.

Grabbed a drink and afternoon snack here after getting in town for a conference. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the lake view. Our waiter was new to the restaurant and did a great job. He checked back often to ensure our drinks were full and to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend the loaded bbq nachos!

Boneless chicken with buffalo sauce
Megan G.

The google reviews for this place were really decent so decided to try it out since we we're staying in the hotel. The food was average at best. The chicken has more breading than I like... it seemed like some pieces were all breading and hardly any chicken. The wrap was dripping in sauce, a little overwhelming. The prime rib was nothing to write home about... very bland and left more to be desired. Service was slow... I overheard the table beside us complaining that extra sides were missing. My server completely forgot my drink. Otherwise the server was friendly just forgetful and not very attentive. The ambiance was okay. The view is nice but there was a weird smell and a bunch of flies inside the restaurant which was kinda gross.... $60 for an appetizer, a sandwich and a wrap. I'm sure there are better places to spent money on.

Bourbon chicken sandwich
Denise C.

Came as a group of 6. Nice view, good ambiance but the food quality was lacking. My friends were not happy with their drinks (the martinis were not good.) Although I was happy with my peach mule. The boneless bourbon wings were the best thing we tried. The fries were cold, soggy and bland. The bourbon chicken sandwich was OK but dry. I will say our server was patient when my friends were not happy with their drinks. Service good, but the food and drink quality could be greatly improved.

Eggs Benedict

If you're staying at the Lazy Gators resort in Lake of the Ozarks, this is the place to go to for a nicer meal or drink. There's not a whole lot within walking distance, but here you can get a sit down breakfast lunch or dinner. Over the weekend I spent at Gators, I went here for breakfast twice and dinner once, and then once just for drinks. They open early at 7am, and have a nice craft beer list. Saturday night when I went they had a band playing too which was cool. Also if you're staying at the actual hotel next door this could be a good option for you. In the grand scheme of restaurants I'm sure it's nothing spectacular, but if you're staying here it's your best option and worth going to, as evidenced by me stopping here so often.

Nice spot to sit , enjoy the lake and have a delicious meal. Beautiful , nice and clean since the updated and expansion so it's a pleasure to go there now . I had the Bourbon chicken sandwich and it was so tasty, tender chicken breast covered in cheese with bacon , onions and bbq sauce with a side of beer battered fries. Husband had the bacon cheeseburger and really enjoyed it. Reasonable priced, family friendly and Great Lake views.

We got there right when they opened since we were a group of 8 and wanted to make sure we could grab a spot. The pool fills up quickly, but the water stays surprisingly cool and refreshing even with a crowd definitely not like a warm bath. The drinks were also very reasonably priced, which was a nice surprise since everything at the lake seems more expensive than KC. We also got to meet DJ Mike, who noticed my Boulevard hat and started a fun conversation about being from Lee's Summit. He was a blast great music, fun games, and kept the energy going. My fiancé and I also shared a poke bowl, it's a lot smaller of a portion than if you were to go the ramen/poke bowl place. For a steep price of $24 but it was good to try. It's the perfect lake spot for a fun atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back!

The poke bowl was good, but it was on the smaller side. The bowl was ready within a minute or so. We went on a Friday and Saturday about when they opened so we could have a table for our large group.

In a state known for barbecue - this was a huge let down. The secret is low and slow - but I don't think these folks got the message. I have had better meat made in an oven. The ribs were under-cooked, and chewy. They didn't come close to "falling off the bone". Their "rub" was thick and sweet - maybe too much brown sugar? The brisket almost tasted microwaved. It was dry on the lean side, and chewy on the fatty side. None of the tell-tale signs of smoking meat really. The sides were OK, although the "fried potato salad" is just home-fries with some sauce on them. They would have been good for breakfast though! The slaw was decent although generic - almost could have been bought from Nobel-Sysco. The green beans were a stand out, they were very good. The fried okra was nothing better than what came out of a box. The barn was really cool, and the server was very friendly. Just disappointing food.

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.

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!

If I could give partial stars, I would rate Baxter's in the range of 4.25 stars or so. Consistently above avverage!
