Felt bad for bothering her. The food was alright. The boneless chicken wings were 90% breading and 10% chicken. The wrap was good and the open faced hamburger was actually very good. I can see this place being fun on a weekend night but we must have caught the server at the wrong time.

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!

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!

Mu review is strictly based on the berry salad. They don't disclose on the menu that the berry vinaigrette dressing is creamy and I have no way to vet that for allergens like xantham gum or carageenan. No options besides that. Th3 salad itself was kind of gross; the b3rries were soggy like they had been previously frozen. I didn't bother eating it, told the waitress why & we were still charged for it. They're not trying to offer any allergy safe options, which is fine, but I don't think I'll go back even if my AGS gets resolved.

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.

Our first visit to Encore and it definitely won't be our last!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The upper level has a more upscale feel, with a beautiful dining room and an incredible covered outdoor space complete with a stage for live music. The massive windows and stunning views overlooking the peninsula make it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. As for the food... wow. I had the crab legs, which were cooked perfectly, but can we talk about the green beans for a minute? They were ridiculously good. If licking the bowl in public wasn't frowned upon, I might have considered it. Colin ordered the salmon, which was absolutely beautiful and served with rice pilaf. Chris went with the crab-crusted walleye, and it was cooked to perfection. Emma Grace chose the giant pretzel, and giant is an understatement, it was the size of a dinner plate! It came with an assortment of charcuterie-style accompaniments that were fantastic all on their own. Then came dessert, and somehow things got even better. The bread pudding was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat bread pudding often, but this one may have ruined all future bread puddings for me. We also shared the cheesecake and cookie skillet, and every bite was delicious. To top it all off, our waitress Makayla was absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience even better. Great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Encore knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be making a return trip next summer!

We informed the server I was celiac and my mom has a dairy allergy. She made sure everything was safe for us and confirmed with the kitchen on any questions we had. She was fantastic and we had a great experience. I ordered the ratatouille lasagna which came with 2 sides. I had the baked potato and vegetable medley. The food was very tasty! Highly recommend this place!

This little bar is tucked back in a strip of bars and shops. You would definitely miss it if you weren't looking for it. We walked in up to the bar and ordered our drinks. They come in 16 or 32 ounces. This weekend we were offered styrofoam or they usual souvenir bucket. My sister got one and I got the bucket. Not sure why I thought I could drink 32 ounces or Miami Vice but I tried. The hurricane my sister got was delicious. There were quite a few options of frozen drinks, maybe 10. This is a must do, if you love frozen drinks. An odd thing on my way out, was a cage near the door that looked like it could be for a monkey, and there was a mini schnauzer in it. Thought it was a bit odd leaving a dog in a cage inside a smoky bar all day, but okay.?

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!
