The Lake, of course!
Our personal favorite stops by boat:
Bagnell Dam Strip: Park your boat at the Neon Taco. Enjoy amazing food and drink there. Walk the strip to find dozens of businesses from boutique shops to up and coming pubs and restaurants. For a good oyster, we recommend Tucker’s Shuckers. Alley Cat’s for Pizza, and a trip to the Ozarks wouldn’t be complete without a pic of your group at Marty Byrd’s bar! And what family vacation is complete without the Olde Timey photo? You can find these and so much more on the strip.
2MM: Buddy’s Harbor. Named after the legendary Buddy from the famous Netflix series, this stop is complete with a bar, restaurant, pizza, and boat rentals. https://www.buddysharbor.com/kitchen
3MM: Boathouse – good drinks, live music often, and good food! You can’t loose! http://boathouselakesidebar.com/
4MM: Docknockers – a LOTO original! Walk up to the bar or the restaurant counter and order some of the best crab legs and rum runners around. https://www.lakeoftheozarks.com/listing/ docknockers-bar-and-grill.html
Gravois Arm 4.5MM : Lake Burger – Craft Burgers and Milkshakes. And Boat Gas with C Store! https://www.lakeburger.com/
Gravois Arm 7MM : The ever-popular Coconuts! Tropical drinks, boat gas, food, and good vibes and tunes. https://www.coconutsatthelake.com/
7MM : Right across the main channel from Chateau LOTO is Shady Gator, Lazy Gator, The H Toad Complex, Camden on the Lake. Shady Gator’s Surf & Sizzle Appetizer is our favorite dish on the lake! We highly recommend it! Also located on the Westside at the 7MM is Tap & Grill, complete with a swim up pool bar which is increasingly popular at the lake.

10MM : Franky & Louie’s is a LOTO legend. Tucked in at the end of a quiet, no wake cove with a fun beach for the kids. The best swag around! And the food and drink are not your average bar food! This one has been a favorite of ours for many, many years! https://www.frankyandlouies.com/
