Backwater Jacks Waterfront Bar & Grill

It's Halloween week & at Backwater Jack's  with no tricks, just all treats! This year Halloween happens to fall on one of our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant's Raw Deal Thursdays, meaning extra treats in the form of delicious discounts! More about that below, plus a peek at a few more of the tasty treats that will be waiting for you here.  Raw Deal Halloween For those of you that aren't already familiar with our Raw Deal Thursdays, it's the day every single week, all season long, that you can get three of our most popular foods at discounted prices!  We're talking about oysters, wings, and shrimp... OH MY! (No, the wings aren't raw, but they taste so great we just had to include them too!) You'll need something to wash those all down with so we offer $1 off all of our canned beers as well.    Great BIG Apps Remember when you were a kid and someone dropped a great big, full-size candy bar into your bag? Well, most of our appeti...

Just hearing us call ourselves the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks may not be enough to make you believe it. That's where customer reviews come in.

In case you didn't already know, October happens to be National Seafood Month. We are done serving sushi at Backwater Jack's for the season (but don't worry because it will be back next spring!) That doesn't mean that we are done serving seafood though.

They are boiled hot to order and served with a tub of butter. (You can find a meal-sized portion of these on our dinner menu too!)  Colossal Crab Rangoon Four oversized wontons stuffed full of Jack's own crab & cream cheese mix. They are fried to a golden brown and served with our homemade apricot sauce.  West Key's Boiled Shrimp Succulent shrimp boiled in Cajun spices, chilled, and served...

The time has finally come for the best sushi at the Lake of the Ozarks to go into hibernation until next spring. You do have a few more days to get yourself back to Backwater Jack's to enjoy our Sushi & Asian Grill down by the pool, so don't be too sad just yet.  Last Day For Sushi Although the main restaurant and bars will remain open for a couple of months longer, the closing day for our Sushi & Asian Grill has been set for Sunday, October 13, 2019 . This happens to land on the Fall Harbor Hop weekend (which takes place on Saturday, October 12) so we know a lot of you will be joining us for that already.  Make it a point to come in this week before the Hop and then hang out with us for Sunday Fun Day after as well. That gives you plenty of time for one final roll!   Only the Best The culinary artists of Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro out of Columbia, MO are in charge of our sushi kitchen and they are experts at this type of cuisine. You'll find m...
