6-23-26 My wife and I decided to have dinner here for our 25th anniversary. We had not been back to the restaurant for sometime. But the food was always great. So why not give it a try. Arrived , promptly seated staff was great. Ordered drinks and Appetizer arrived quickly. Had the Walleye dinner. It was just as I remembered if not better. Then the surprise our daughter had called to tell them it was our anniversary. We were given a slice of cheesecake with smiles and a few congratulations. It was a great anniversary. I want to thank the staff for watching out for us since they didn't know what time we would arrive. The service was fantastic the food delicious. Thank you again for a wonderful meal. read more

Went in on an early Saturday afternoon after hiking. Was greeted with friendly hospitality and smiles. Amanda kept us hydrated and comfortable. Spinach artichoke dip was delicious. Cheddar burger was fantastic and fries perfect. I would recommend eating here and go back. The bathroom was clean and so was the rest of the establishment. read more

The service was amazing. Waitress was so helpful with my partners allergies & very accommodating. The inside of the restaurant is decked out with fishing camping type things all over the walls. It was really cold in there so bring a jacket! The food was good. Walleye with fries & slaw. Caesar salad on the side. Tilapia sandwich with a bake potato. Clam chowder was soup of day on a Friday. read more

I have been here before and come back because the menu, food quality and service are always good. I like "hot fish" which they have a nice variety of. I had the grilled Mediterranean salmon dinner with a salad and baked potato. They have a nice house made green goddess dressing that's very tasty. I had a couple of glasses of Pinot Grigio with my meal that was a nice touch. We also had the hot fudge lava Bundt cake w ice cream to split. It was tasty. The decor is fun.... Fish camp looks w rods, reels, nets, lures etc. nice Friday evening break. read more

This little gem in a strip mall has a country feel to it but delicious fresh cooked food. We had a burger and buffalo chicken sandwich and no complaints. It did take a little longer than expected to get our food for no more people than were there. We watched the MU game on the tv's and had a nice lunch. read more

One of the few restaurants that serves fried clams. If you visit during a Friday in Lent, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a table.

Finally got to try this place for the first time, can't believe I didn't get the fish but as great as the steak was I'm coming back to try the fish! I had a steak sandwich with added garlic cheese bread, my to go service was on time and still warm. Very pleased with this dinner. The inside is a nice restaurant, very humble waiting and dinning area with nice decorations throughout. The parking lot is large, has no problems finding a spot close. Looking forward to summer when we can sit on the patio, I read it might be dog friendly even. Thanks for the great meal! read more

Arrived for a late lunch and I sat at the bar. I asked the waitress what their best lunch item was and she recommended the walleyed platter. It was delicious. I received a large slice of fish. The waitress said they make their own breading and cook it fresh daily and the walleye was delicious. The walleye platter comes with two sides. I chose the green beans with potatoes and onions. I was looking for fresh fruit for my other side but the only fruit they had was applesauce so I chose the fries. The green beans were fresh and cooked just rice and seasoned well. The fries were a mixture of hot fresh fries and mildly warm fries. My waitress gave me excellent service. The inside of this restaurant reminded me of a hunting cabin and an older small town diner. Food was delicious. read more

Great food and service. Love the decor! Took family there for the first time and we'll definitely be back!

Unfortunate because we had one good experience here a few weeks ago but tonight was terrible. When the sever came to clear our appetizer plates and asked if he could bring us anything else (after we had already ordered our entrees) I knew we were in trouble. So we told him that we had not had our food yet. He went to refill our drinks (and he took our cups away to fill and bring back which is lazy) then he told us that our ticket was next so our food would be up soon but I knew the truth. I knew he had totally forgotten to put in our entrees so I let my party know - we should assume our orders just went in. Sure enough, about 20 minutes later our food came out. Total time for entrees was about an hour. Dinner was 45 min after appetizer. Then the small portions and salad were shocking. The $15 Chicken Caesar comes with 3 small strips of grilled chicken over what is clearly lettuce, croutons, and parm from a bag kit from the grocery store that you would make at home and two small cups of dressing for you to apply yourself even though this is a ceaser salad at a seafood place. My son's burger was shockingly small and there were maybe 10 French fries on the plate. It was a decent burger and my wife's fish was decent too but her sides were also shockingly, almost humorously small portions. Strange place. I don't think we will be back. read more

I was just trying to have drinks and dinner, and had to listen to the guy from the kitchen who was clearly intoxicated yelling at my server and the bartender throughout the course of the evening about how other people are paid more than him. I don't go out to restaurants to hear employee drama, never coming here again. read more

They wouldn't honor their own coupon, so we haven't been back in over10 years. Food was good. Service ... well, would not honor their coupon, so not so good. Ambiance was fisherman stuff attached to the walls like an Applebees would do. read more

It was Friday night and there were 3 of us and we did not have a reservation and Lazy River Grill was our third and final stop. We got in and it was nice and cool in there! (One of our first stops needs an HVAC visit ASAP!) I used to live near here and I hadn't been in at least 14 years? It looks the same and the menu is the same but in a good way! My dinner dates ordered a salad, a Walleye special, and I got the Country Bacon & Bleu Burger with Fries. I was hungry and tired and I have to say this was great! I like a charbroiled burger and I love bacon and blue cheese. I requested the fries crispy and that's how I got them. I love the spreadable cheese and crackers they put on the table. The service was great. I'll be back and I promise I won't wait so long! read more

Lazy River Grill - Country Bacon & Bleu - American Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

I really like their food, especially the walleye platter. It is the best fish that I've ever eaten I used to love their coleslaw. However it seems the flavor is a bit different nowadays. Maybe they change a recipe or perhaps my taste buds changed? This may seem odd to some. However, the restaurants use of super cheap utensils really degrades the experience at the restaurant. It seems like they purchased the cheapest forks and nice if they could it's barely one step above a plastic utensil. . read more

First time at this place although Ive heard of it here and there over the years. Nothing fancy, quite rustic. Walleye was delightful, and fries were too. Only downer was this "flavorsmith" ketchup with the openable lid, which makes it POSSIBLE to refill the ketchup even if they don't use this disgusting mom and pop tactic. That delicious walleye (even if a bit pricey) will get me in here again. read more

Lazy River is usually one of my favorite places! Food is amazing and usually service is on point. Came in for lunch on Tues and the service was not anything like I have experienced. Some guy (assuming the manager) took our drink order and eventually our food order as well. We had a server come eventually but she basically only came to bring the check. Then she told us to ask for her next time. No thank you! read more

Great food, great service, love Lazy River Grill! Their fish is great but some hidden gems on the menu are the house salad, French fries, and the lobster Rangoon. read more

We had the walleye fish and chips and that was excellent. And the coconut shrimp was just as good. Finally, the carrot cake for dessert topped off a nice luncheon. The service was great, too. read more

We go here often. The Walleye is tremendously tender. They have a Special on Sunday and Monday evening a Walleye Special. You get two sides for $16.99. They have other fish and seafood. The ambiance is something to see many pictures of Fish Boats. Fishing gear. Good drinks and the waitress was so nice getting everything we asked for. Check it out! I love it read more

I only get the fish because its so darn good but I'm sure the rest of the food is too! great place !!!

Today my family and I went there to celebrate my 61st birthday. The waitress was awesome!! They were so kind, they made my birthday dinner so special. They took our picture and put it on a birthday card. It was so unexpected and so thoughtful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much read more

Only have been to this business to get soup or wings for pick up. The inside is dark and cozy. They have an outside patio which looks nice to sit on. I have gotten the gumbo from here and was not super pleased. It had too much okra in it and it was a clear broth. Certainly want what you think of when you want gumbo. The wings are classic wings. read more

Omg our first time at Lazy River and was not disappointed. Had the Walleye special and it was amazing... Also the slaw was great and the cheese and crackers blew us away! Drinks were also amazing! A must try! read more

My second visit with this being my first visit to their sister location. Good food but nothing memorable. Staff were ok but not welcoming. Can't go wrong with the Shore Dinner. Nice size plate with all the fixins. A good value for the money. Not sure if I'll go back but in a pinch I'd consider. read more

Decided to do local tonight and haven't been here in years. It was very crowded but we managed to get seated. Amanda dropped off the menus, told us the special, and went and got us our drinks. We were there to grab a bite and catch an NFL game. It wasn't too loud where we had to yell at each other. Amanda made sure I drinks arrived on time and waters were full. Our dishes came out rather quickly. I had the Tilapia sandwich and my better had the chicken club sandwich. Both looked good. The club sandwich turned out to be the better choice. My Tilapia really didn't taste anything more than ... well, nothing really. Out of curiosity I googled Tilapia and learned it was a generic term. I found out that cooks and I are thinking the same on this fish: "Chefs hate it because it doesn't taste like fish." Also, the slaw was rather bland. In conclusion, Service was great, ambiance was good, but the food was meh. read more

Found this restaurant through Yelp and found it to be pretty good. We were seated pretty quickly. The decor of the restaurant is definitely fishing and the overall restaurant was a bit dark. I had the shore dinner, which was a mild fish with a light, crispy coating, along with a salad and green beans. The salad was good, with fresh greens and a great house (green goddess) dressing which was very flavorful. The salad came with a small container of their cheese along with crackers. The cheese was so good, we bought some to bring home. Hubby had the chicken club which he said was a solid 4. All of the ingredients were good, the meal was hot and it came out in a timely manner. Waitress was friendly, but had a habit of looking away into the distance whenever I asked questions. She was pretty quick though and service was good. Would definitely go back if in the area. read more

I took my best friend to Lazy River Grill for her Birthday lunch because they have the best food, service and atmosphere. The service is always personal, and the food no matter what you order is exceptional. I love Lazy River Grill. read more

Haven't been here in quite awhile. Still a cgreat place to eat. We were seated promptly and our server was fantastic. Called attention to the Hiday cocktails. Both the Rockefeller Manhattan and Holiday Mule were tasty. The dinner salad was fresh and the Green Goddess dressing is quite good. The clam strips were moist an possibly house made. The pan fried Walleye was perfectly cooked. read more

It offers a very limited menu. The decor reminds me of camp in the 1970's. Very rustic and outdoorsy, which is okay but not what I wanted.

Great experience. They accommodated our family when we were a little late for reservation with great service and food. We definitely recommend the cobbler dessert, it is worth it! read more

Food was excellent and piping hot when it arrived. Service was excellent as well. Great place and atmosphere.

The walleye was excellent, the service exceeded expectations, and the atmosphere was welcoming. No disappointments here. Good meal.

This a very nice restaurant but we did not have the best experience. We went on a Saturday around 3 the place was not busy. It took almost 15min for our appetizer to arrive which was spinach and artichoke. Food arrived literally 45min after we ordered. I understand people are short staffed but come on. As the restaurant became more busy the food started to arrive to the other tables faster than ours did. I'm sorry but waiting for wings, a burger and one more plate should not take 45min. read more

Ordered the walleye dinner. Was excellent, baked potato was fresh not pre-made. While we loved the deep fried walleye would love to have a grilled version available. Great service, our water Mark S was fantastic right on top of everything. Have booths and tables. Fishing decorations all around the room. Makes for a full look. read more

I find the service and food to be consistently good. I usually go with the lime grilled salmon and it's cooked to my requested medium rare temperature every time. It comes with salad, roll, veggies and crackers and cheese. Very reasonable prices. read more

This restaurant has been around for a long time, making quality meals year after year. You wouldn't know it looking at the outside, but it has a cozy cabin feel on the inside. The menu is wide, but if you like eating freshwater fish you need to get the walleye or the basa. These fish can be prepared a variety of ways, and I enjoyed the fried walleye on my most recent visit. We had a party of 9 so we made reservations which was a nice feature. We sat near the hostess station and overheard several people saying they had reservations as well. A good thing, because on the Saturday evening we were there the restaurant was pretty full. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal and the kids even got ice cream at the end of their meals. A good time had by all. read more
