Celebrate Seafood Month at Backwater Jack's
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. As a matter of fact, you'll find some of the best seafood at the Lake of the Ozarks on the menu we are still serving 7 days a week!

Weekly Seafood Specials
Every single Sunday-Friday this time of year we offer daily specials that are hard to resist. Two of these specials include some of the succulent seafood we already talked about above.
Crabby Ol' Mondays offer up our savory snow crab clusters by the pound at a discounted price. You'll also get special deals on Rum Runners and Pains to drink along with those tasty crab legs.
Raw Deal Thursdays feature extremely low prices on shrimp and oysters, priced individually so that you can order as many as you like. There are also incredible deals on our wings and discounts on canned beer to wash it all down with.
That's a lot to choose from (and that's just a portion of our awesome menu) but you've still got plenty of time this season to get back to Backwater Jack's and try them all! Our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks isn't ready to end our season yet. Come on out and join us soon for a bite to eat and a whole lot of fun!
