As a Local, I Hate to Give Away One of Our Best-Kept Secrets... But Palasota's Is Just Too Good Not…read moreto Share If you're headed to a concert at the Ozarks Amphitheater, do yourself a favor and swing by Palasota's in Camdenton. Just minutes away from the venue, it's hands-down one of the best places to eat in the entire lake area. The slow-smoked ribs and brisket are next-level -- tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The smoked chicken is another favorite, and I always order extra just so I can make homemade nachos the next day. Trust me -- they're off the hook. But the half-pound sandwiches? That's where I get in trouble. The bread-to-meat ratio is perfect, and the portions are huge. Honestly, if I don't stop myself, they'll have to roll me out the door. I usually save half for later... but sometimes "later" ends up being 15 minutes in the car. Friendly service, fair prices, and food that never misses. Whether you're a local or just visiting for a show, Palasota's is a hidden gem worth finding. Just don't tell too many people -- we're trying to keep it our secret.

Staff is always friendly. A must try at the lake!

Well, how to describe the disappointment…read more This place seems like someone from Iowa watched YouTube videos on how to smoke meat, then bought a barn off eBay and set it up in the middle of Missouri. 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.

I stopped in here with three other people on a Sunday evening. The food here is so delicious. 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 was recommended to this place by a coworker and decided to check it out while I was in Ozark for…read morea concert. The menu was big and extensive with lots of barbecue options. 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.

Service was great was clear instructions and suggestions for a first time visit. We got a platter with 4oz of each meat and two sides. Great price and took home leftovers with 3 adults eating. The one thing I would suggest is a BBQ sauce that is completely mild for someone who can't eat any spice at all.

My Jamaican chicken melt was a good portion & came out hot & with gooey cheese. Be fair warned that this does have some spice to it as intended. I opted for the cheesy grits as I wanted to stray away from the typical side. They were so flavorful & cheesy with a little kick, outstanding! The steak my BF and DIL French onion soup were very delicious & flavorful as well. Don't let the outside make you question the great food & service that inside. This is clearly a hidden spot that will be in our rotation to eat during our annual stay.

I wanted to buy one, but they didn't have the inventory with my preferred size. Hence, I went to their other location in Camdeton, MO. This place has a larger dining space.

I would assume they serve the same amazing deliciously different sandwiches and more. Lexis was the young lady who helped me with the t-shirt purchase. She was super nice and friendly. Thanks Lexis! I was able to try on two different sizes before making the decision. I ended up getting the medium because I was swimming in the large LOL. Happy to have brought home their t-shirt. I haven't wore it yet, but I intend to wear it soon. Can't wait to show it off to the world! Thanks Twisted Tony's for a cool and fun shirt.

I had biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. Biscuits were fluffy and fresh and covered with flavorful sausage gravy. Everyone enjoyed their food. Others had omelettes, eggs Benedict, and chocolate chip pancake. Service was fast and friendly and it wasn't too crowded but it was a weekday when we went. Coffee cup never got more than half empty before someone came by to refill it. Will definitely be back.
