Backwater Jacks Waterfront Bar & Grill

This is the time of year when a lot of waterfront bars & restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks close down for the season, but not Backwater Jack's ! We're still open, and we plan to be open for quite a while yet. It's too soon to close up shop because we've still got plenty of party left in us, and we bet you do too! Get yourself back to Backwater Jack's right now to join us for some extended summer fun. Indoor Seating With A View Mid-Missouri weather likes to keep us guessing, so there will very likely be more days where it's nice enough to sit outdoors on our lakeside deck and enjoy the waterfront view. For those days that get a bit too cold for that, we've got a spacious indoor dining room where you can hang out with all of your friends, and maybe make a few new ones while keeping yourself warm and comfy. The best part is, you've still got that gorgeous lake view to enjoy through the windows. Fall at the Lake of the Ozarks is definitely a ...

You know that the best food at the Lake of the Ozark s can be find at Backwater Jacks  every day of the week, but some days we make it even better than usual! This fall brought back one of our most popular weekly events - Friday Night Steak Night . Join us each Friday evening to get your weekend started off right with a big, juicy, mouthwatering Filet Mignon dinner!  Fantastic Filet Mignon The star of the show on Steak Night is a delicious 7-oz. premium cut of Filet Mignon. The name "Filet Mignon" is French for "tender fillet" or "delicate/fine fillet," and it earned that name because it truly is one of the tenderest cuts of beef. It comes from a part of the cow that doesn't get used very much, which is the reason why the meat is so very tender.   For the simple price of $14.99, you not only get that mouthwatering steak, but also one of Backwater Jack's signature side dishes. Your choices include: Our Amazing Fried Potato Salad French F...
