Our Awesome Appetizers - the Mini-Meal Before the Meal!
Appetizers are meant to be a small something to eat to tide you over until the main meal arrives. At our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, the majority of our appetizers are hearty enough to be a meal all on their own! That is unless you're with a big group of people at Backwater Jack's that are all sharing the app. (But in that case, surely you'll be ordering more than just one!)
Regardless of whether you're sharing plates from our appetizer menu or keeping the entire dish all to yourself, ordering an app is a great way to start your dining experience. Around here, you'll find two different appetizer menus to choose from. One at the main restaurant and another down by the pool at the Sushi & Asian Grill.
Here's a quick peek at both of those. (Settle in, because these lists are long!)
