You'll find the best sushi at the Lake of the Ozarks poolside inside the Sushi & Asian Grill at Backwater Jack's in Osage Beach. People have been raving about it ever since it debuted a couple of summers ago, and this year some irresistible new items have been added to that already amazing menu. 

The culinary artists from Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro out of Columbia, MO are back again this year with those amazing dishes you've been craving since last fall! Take a look at what we've got waiting for you the next time you get back to Backwater Jack's.

It's a lot easier to get back to Backwater Jack's when you're sleeping right next door! Our "Cozy House" is only about a 100-foot sidewalk stroll from all the fun going on at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant. We've still got a few dates open this summer that you'll want to book right away before someone beats you to it!


3 Rental Options
Our incredible waterfront vacation house rental at the Lake of the Ozarks is available in 3 different ways. You can book both floors and have the entire house to yourself or rent the upper or lower levels individually.  

The Entire Cozy House
If you choose to book the entire house, it can accommodate up to 16 guests and you have both levels for a private getaway for you and the family or a bunch of friends. On the other hand, if you only need space for up to 8 people and don't mind some neighbors, one of the following options may better suit your needs.


The Upper Level
The upper level has four bedrooms …

The Lake of the Ozarks annual event that is known as the (unofficial) start to the boating season is almost here - the Spring Harbor Hop! That's just one more excellent reason to make plans now to get yourself back to Backwater Jack's on Saturday, May 4, 2019, to take part in this always exciting day of fun on the water. 


The Poker Run
For those of you that are new to the Lake of the Ozarks Harbor Hop, here's how it works. You begin at one of the more than 40 participating waterfront bars, restaurants, or marinas on the list. There you will pay an optional $20 donation to register and receive the first card to begin your poker hand. Anyone can play, and you are welcome to register for more than one hand. 

Next, you will spend the rest of the day "hopping" from stop to stop, picking up a card each time that you do. Once you collect your 7th card, you will turn in your completed poker hand at that stop. If you're not completely happy with the cards that you've…

Calming Lake View
There's something calming, relaxing, and mesmerizing about looking out over the gorgeous view of the lake we have here at Backwater Jack's. Obviously, it's easily seen when you sit outside, but if you haven't been here yet, you may not realize you can enjoy that same view from inside too. Giant windows and a spacious dining room allow the lake's natural beauty to melt away your stress no matter where you decide to sit.
