Highly recommend you stop on your way in/leaving Lake of the Ozarks…read more We stopped before heading to drop off our bags and it was so cute! This place has a multitude of stuff to grab for snacks or to take as gifts. There's all different kinds of popcorn, treats, and a chocolate counter where you can fill your own box of chocolates, as well as a coffee stand. It's got a lot of great stuff but it is a tight squeeze inside. This was perfect to get my caffeine fix & to grab an assorted box of chocolates (which were very yummy). The staff was super helpful with picking out chocolates and paying and the ladies working the coffee were quick & efficient. There's lots of parking and a nice scenic point of the lake from their parking lot.

Cracker Jack lover for the candy covered peanuts alone, I bought a bag of Caramel Cashew. I noticed that there weren't any bags missing from that shelf, whereas I noticed the other shelved popcorn was being purchased by customers. So I dig into the bag of Caramel Cashew and didn't get any cashews. I took the bag home and emptied it out to get to the nuts which I figured were at the bottom. No such luck. In fact I counted 7 cashews, none of which had an iota of caramel. Looks like they grabbed a bag of caramel popcorn and threw a few cashews in it. Disappointed

Lots of selection. Lots of fun other things too. Mad at myself for not getting more of a few things.read more

However this is not just a candy store. This is a great store to stop at for a gift. Soup mix kits, spices, jellies, and hot sauces are popular items.

This Jelly is hands down the best thing on Earth. You can use it on everything from toast, biscuits, and scones to Ice Cream. Trust me, you want to pick up a jar today! I will be back in my next visit to the Lake.

1932 Reserve is by far the best restaurant on the lake. The cocktails are delicious and the food is…read moreamazing. The brussel sprouts were out of this world (just the right amount of crunchy, sweet, and savory). The pork loin with smashed bacon potatoes was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The carrot cake we had for dessert was the best carrot cake I've ever had. One thing that really surprised me was the portions. Usually at an upscale casual restaurant like this, the portions tend to be on the smaller side. Not here. You had to roll us out! Richard, our waiter, was amazing, and the rest of the staff was so nice and attentive. I've been saying for years that the food scene around the lake is a little disappointing. You can get pretty burnt out on all the restaurants serving similar foods that start to taste the same. 1932 Reserve is such a refreshing change. It's a great place for a special occasion, a date night, or just when you want a really delicious meal at a nice restaurant and you're tired of the typical restaurants around the lake. The one negative would be the parking, but it seems like they have a golf cart running people back and forth, which definitely helps. The Reserve has absolutely proven that they deserve a place at the lake, and I really hope they're successful for many years to come. The food and experience was truly great. It's the kind of restaurant you might expect to find in a big city, and I'm so glad it's here.

Beautiful spot, but $500 fine-dining prices with diner-level execution…read more Where to start. We've been coming here by boat for years. Experiences have always had up-and-down moments, but this time was disappointing because I really wanted it to be great. It just wasn't. The Good: The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and the waterfront ambiance is spot on. It's clearly the place to be at the lake--so good job on the venue. The Service & Atmosphere: Service was adequate, but far from fine dining. If you're charging premium prices, the service model needs to match. Having random runners drop food at the table without knowing who ordered what is diner or casual Mexican restaurant service, not an elegant dining experience. The new manager stopped by twice--a nice touch, until we actually provided constructive feedback. Instead of offering a remedy, he offered excuses about being new and didn't handle criticism well. The Food: Apps (Deviled Eggs & Tuna): Both looked like they'd been plated earlier in the day--they had an unappetizing "sheen" to them that made them look leftover rather than fresh. The flavor on the eggs was completely muted, and the tuna was equally lusterless. Salads: We split the Caesar, and our friends had the wedge. They were served without any offer of fresh pepper. When we flagged down a staff member, they brought out cheap grocery-store salt and pepper grinders. Later, we were told the new chef prefers not to offer pepper on the table. With all due respect to the chef: that's the guest's choice, not yours. (Side note: the wedge was tasty, but oddly wasn't actually cut into a wedge). Mains: The ladies had the Sea Bass--the dish that originally put this place on the map. It was okay, but not as good as it used to be; the new Asian flair and bowl presentation take away from what used to make it the star of the show. The pork chop was good and thoroughly enjoyed. My lasagna had a great portion size and good base flavor, but it was dry as jerky with practically zero sauce. The Verdict: The restaurant will continue to thrive simply because of its location and the lack of competing fine-dining options on the water. But when you're dropping $500 on dinner, you expect accountability and an outstanding meal. We won't be back anytime soon.

The espresso tasted burnt. I really needed my caffeine so I tried to force it down but i just couldn't. I got a cinnamon roll that was hard as a fucking rock. I genuinely thought i was going to chip a tooth. It had to be like weeks old. As if that wasn't enough, there was an old lady working there who was so aggressively rude it was actually impressive. I wasn't sure if I had walked into a café or wandered into an episode of a prank show where the theme was "How Fast Can We Ruin Your Morning?"
