a coffee table with magazines on it

If I could give the service here 5 million stars I would! They have a great selection of salads, sandwiches, and soups. And for sides you can choose between fresh fruit/veggies, chips, or sweet potato chips. I loved having the fruit/veggies option and they were definitely fresh. They also have a display case of truly delicious-looking cookies and this chocolate cake-muffin thing that I was soooo tempted to get. My panini was warm and crispy, and I did get one of the chocolate cookies, too. They have outdoor seating for dog people, and inside they have some coloring pages and crayons for the kiddos. From the moment you step in it feels like a homey, cozy, local place.

I love this place! It's so cute and I always love supporting local businesses. Our table was made out of a door! Super cute vibe inside. My coffee was delicious, I got a turkey sandwich on their homemade buns with their avocado ranch which was so good, and lastly I got a gooey butter cookie. May I just say, best butter cookie I've ever had! It almost tastes like a lemon bar at the very beginning, and then you taste the creamy butter cookie flavor directly after. My mother and brother attended me and they both loved their food as well. The staff here are super nice as well. Highly recommend!

Picasso panini!

It was ok. Had a salad and the lettuce wasn't even chopped up. They were out of everything that we wanted to order. Not sure I'd go back.

The new Fall menu is out!! Wow! So many delicious choices…read more Pretzel appetizer. Bean dip- unexpectedly delish Whipped cheese spread. Dreaming about it. Meatballs. Enough to feed all 4 people! Beef stroganoff. 10/10 creamy. Tender beef. Enough for later. Filet Mignon and whipped deliciousness. Perfection. The miso sea bass is my favorite yet!! Filling. Fish cooked perfectly and the right mix of Asian flavors. The menu items for this Fall is TOP TIER!

This place is super solid - surprisingly so, we had a wonderful dinner here and excellent service…read more it started a bit rocky bc there was some misunderstanding and no one came to greet us or speak to us for about 15-20 minutes. My husband went to the host stand to say something and a server overheard and immediately came and paid wonderful attention to us after that and they gave us a free appetizer to make up for it which the manager delivered himself with another apology. All good. Handled expertly and the meal was 5 stars afterwards. We started with the Whipped Feta And Balsamic Roasted Strawberries which was different and really good and light. My husband ordered for his entree the Charred Double Cut Pork Loin for about $32 served with elote corn with bacon roasted potatoes. It was SO delicious - for real, probably the best pork loin I've ever had and the corn was fabulous. I had the Chilean Sea bass Chilean Sea Bass for $50 with tomatoes and orzo in saffron tomato broth. It was a huge portion of sea bass Coffee was good and we ordered a chocolate dessert mousse pie to go which was AMAZING. The food was all wonderful, service was superb and the view and location was gorgeous. We saw that they have rentals above in lofts which are beautiful and will absolutely consider staying here (and dining again for sure) if and when we visit in the future. Highly recommend. My husband is from St. Louis and has been to the Lake of the Ozarks probably 25x and said this was by far the best meal he's ever had here. He raved about it for a few days afterwards.

If you are looking for a lake front restaurant with a more relaxed vibe this is the place to be…read more their pool is a bit more classy than some of the others. the staff is very timely, kind, and accommodating. The food is pretty good! we love some GLUTEN FREE options! most of their menu can be made gluten free! Drinks are decent depending on what you get! they have a kid friendly pool as well which is nice compared to other locations with pools. This is our first pick of restaurants that are lake front when we come down to the ozarks! I ordered the fish tacos. They had a lot of flavor on top but the fish was somewhat plane. i would love to see a blackened fish or bang bang shrimp taco! The Skinny margarita was very strong.

Best drinks I've had at a restaurant hands down…read more The screwy banana and the Cruzin are dangerous because they're just hangovers waiting to happen. The alcohol definitely creeps up because of how tasty these drinks are. This place almost gave hooters vibes except the girls wear tight short shorts. But the service was really nice regardless. They weren't the most attentive but granted this place was packed the entire time we ate here. We definitely will be back though! The jambalaya was a little salty. The fried bang bang shrimp were also salty. Still decent. The Mac and cheese was the best! The hot chicken was on the sweeter side, the way I like it! The nacho cheese and chips were to die for. Perfect cheesy creamy goodness. The birria tacos were also great! Tender meat and yummy potato salad. Overall parking was abundant and they even have a pool with tables inside. Kids can go in the weekdays but on weekends it's adult only. They also have a cute gift shop. Well def be back and I highly recommend

Backwater Jacks - Kung Pao Fried Rice  we ordered it #3 spicy on a scale of 1-10. 3 was SPICY!  no peanuts

A solid place to stop by!…read more We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there's a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside. We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you're there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks. If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there's the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There's bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn't have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn't enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would've hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren't getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we're all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help. For those who don't know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn't a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.

BWJ's new Level 5 pool and concert venue is amazing. Wow!…read more Best pool depth on the lake. large bars, great water temps, music isn't so loud you can't talk.

Susan never disappoint with recommendations. The Brussels sprouts are to die for along with the waygu beef hot dogs and the BEST chicken strips I have ever tasted! Ice cold $3 beers to go with it. The service is fast friendly and fun! The restaurant is clean clean clean! The front HEATED patio is the perfect spot to grab a beer some amazing food and catch a game or 2.

Roxies is in a beach town. In Missouri...Never heard of such a thing, but yea...Osage Beach. In the Ozarks. Osage Beach had just hosted a motorcycle rally the day before. The "strip" in this little town looked a tad beat up, like a good time was had by all. We were not disappointed! Our waitress was super friendly and efficient. Our meal arrived within an acceptable time frame. We had an order of deviled eggs that were probably the best to ever hit my lips. My Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich was bursting with several layers of deliciousness. Bonus points for a pristine restroom, after a bike rally! If you ever find your way to the beach in the Ozarks, have a bite at Roxies!

Food was amazing! My only complaint is my waitress threw away our food because we stepped outside…read morefor literally 5 mins so my son could see the water. Then when the manger tried to reorder she butted in and said I was almost finished. I'm black and didn't want to argue so I just said okay. But that was so rude we didn't even pay yet!!! Why would you do that? Common sense. Other than that everyone else was nice. I really like the place

We actually had a really nice lunch here with a gorgeous view, excellent service and great food…read more Our waitress was such a sweetheart. Really really kind and attentive - I think her name was Sherrie. We ordered a kids grilled cheese which came with a drink and choice of side - we chose the mango cole slaw. It was a big portion and my husband ate half of it. We had wings with buffalo sauce and the wings were excellent and cooked really, really well. I chose the Caribbean chicken salad which was fresh and very good and a large portion as well. I asked for extra tomato and they easily made that happen. Also, the sweet tea was on point. I'm from southern Virginia and we don't play with sweet tea and this was legit. I could've taken like a half gallon to go! It's located in the Tan Tar A.Margaritaville resort and has a beautiful patio with an expansive wrap-around view of the water so you can watch all the action while you eat. It was hot when we dined but we sat under an umbrella and enjoyed the view.
