Backwater Jacks Waterfront Bar & Grill

  It's not quite time for your favorite waterfront restaurant & bar at the Lake of the Ozarks to open back up for our 2021 season (but opening day's not that far away either!) Still, there's an exciting annual event that is definitely worth heading to the lake area for, even if you can't get back to Backwater Jack's just yet.
