"Great food, good live music. Nice to just sit back and have some beers with friends while having good relaxing vibes. I am from out of town and have only been here twice, but its one of my favorite places to go whenever I'm in the area!"

"Good food, drinks, and service but the fried potatoes salad is the reason for the 5 stars!"

- Bob McManus

"Great place to eat with a fun atmosphere. We had a group of 22 and our one waiter did a great job juggling all of our orders and requests! Fun place on the water to eat!"

"Fantastic Summer Destination:

Conveniently located near Osage Beach Walmart. Best rum runners, chicken strips & crab Rangoon. Delicious, huge salads. The food is really high quality for a lakeside restaurant. Beautiful, large pool with swim-up bar. It’s a great venue to watch the big boats come in."

"Family Feast:

We enjoyed appetizers of Nachos. Buffalo Shrimp & Grouper Fingers. Family member's requested we meet here. The food was delicious and the service was great. The live music was an added plus."

"Good Food: 

We had the oversized crab Rangoon as an appetizer. It was very good. The Horni Rita Margarita is very good! Highly recommend. I received something different than I ordered but it was still good. Would go back."

"Just So Good:

This was a fun place for our first night in the area. The ‘Pain in the A$$’ drink was so good! The jalapeño poppers may have been the best ever - especially with the raspberry inferno sauce - it wasn’t that it was hot but that the flavor enhanced the popper. To be honest - skip the oysters / there are better options. Fries were great - sandwiches were awesome. And then the atmosphere - this is a great place to just enjoy and literally belly up to the bar."

"Went here my friend's birthday weekend and had the best time! My food was great and I'm so happy to see that they have sushi (my fav) on the menu! Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of my food or drinks because I was too busy enjoying it and didn't think to snap pictures beforehand.
The atmosphere was great, I enjoyed the live music, and all employees were nice and seemed more than happy to be working.*If you come here the stuffed mushrooms, crab rangoon, and jalapeño poppers are to die for!! Drink wise, I love their Rum Runners!"

"This is a lake must-go. Their signature drink is a must. Food and drinks are a must. Love the Pain in the Ass! That's what you gotta order! Trust me!  You can go by boat or car. A true Lake hotspot."

- Leslie H. 

"This is our favorite place to go! Wonderful staff, variety of food from a large bar menu from wings, salads, sandwiches, entrees, kids selections, sushi area, huge resort-style pool, lots of parking for cars and boats! Indoor and outdoor seating everywhere! Even during the current pandemic they have taken extra precautions to protect their customers from checking temps, offering hand sanitizer bottles, etc. We will continue to support our favorite business at the lake! They are also a dog-friendly bar!"

 - Maddy V.

"Lunch here was great!! It's Memorial Day and although there were other people it was by NO means packed! We were able to eat outdoors with empty tables next to us. My kids enjoyed feeding the fish off the back dock! As far as food the Club was great so was the Grouper!"
