“Okay so I'm a vegetarian. Ordered mushroom burger without the meat. Food cake and I got a hamburger bun with the smallest freaking portabello mushroom (singular) ever. No lettuce. No tomato. Tator tots were good. $17 for a bun with a sad slice of mushroom.“
“This place reminds me what the lake restaurants used to be! A good laid back atmosphere with good service and no douche bags! Now let’s get started with the drinks… YOU WOULDN’T BELIZE IT, fresh pressed drinks and a bunch of their own take on other classics that are mostly nautical themed. Had an appetizer that was also good. The loaded buffalo fries were also great to share with a few friends. They weren’t gourmet by any means but this isn’t a gourmet place. The only thing to make them better is having chicken hand breaded but I am not complaining. Ample amount of chicken and sauce with the fries as well. Definitely a place to check out.“
“The best place for Artisan style Sandwiches, Panini's, Soups and Salads!! Oh and don't forget the scrumptious homemade treats (cookies, carrot cake, muffins) Great antique atmosphere. Genuinely nice owner and staff!! This is a hidden gem at the Palisades center in OsageVegetarian options: Salads, Soups, Tea and treats“
“Our first impression driving up was that we were about to have a unique and memorable experience at The Tavern. The food did not disappoint and the service at our table was excellent. The only criticism I would give is when we walked in we had a few minutes to wait for our table and we felt like we were outsiders at the bar. We were going to get a drink and sit by the fire but it took awhile for the bartender to stop talking to what appeared to be regulars and wait on us. We did finally get drinks and sat down. The other thing that really struck us was how the decor seemed like an afterthought and the items looked like they were picked up at a yard sale for out dated restaurants. I pictured since it is an old rustic cabin it would be decorated with similar decor. Our table wobbled terribly and was very small and the chairs were stained and uncomfortable at the fireplace with a hodgepodge of mismatched cabinets packed in around them. We will probably return for the excellent food sometime but for the price it was not the atmosphere I would have expected.“
“The service was really good and our server was very friendly. She answered all of our questions and was so helpful. The food was great!!! Philly Cheesesteak, Cuban, jalapeno corn, queso and chips, and strawberry spinach salad. Not one thing we tried was bad. Would highly recommend!!“
“Do not go to this place and make it to busy for us to get in. LOL Really the place is great. The staff does a great job and the food is great too. Great road house style with peanuts to start and fun. Only thing we could ask for is draft beer options.“

“It has been a long time since we have been to Michael's. I am trying to eat the less meat for health reasons, but unfortunately I love a good steak. Although there are a few excellent steak restaurants here at the Lake of the Ozarks, I have come to think that Michaels is probably the best or, maybe tied for best. There is awesome service, and an excellent view of the lake, if you get the right table. Everything was wonderful. We had the lobster stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. My wife had the shrimp, which she let me have one of, and of course they were super. You get six very jumbo shrimp in a very tasty batter. She also had the lobster macaron cheese, which is also pretty amazing. I had the strip steak. Maybe not the most tender cut, but has what I call the "steakiest" flavor. We finished off with a lava cake dessert for two. You wouldn't want to eat this way very often, but when you are ready to indulge a little bit, this place definitely won't disappoint.“
“Went for breakfast. It's a lot like a Perkins or Denny's. They do breakfast until 2 or 3pm. Our table ordered French toast, pancakes, hash browns, and sausage gravy and a biscuit. One person got a turkey club sandwich and requested crispy bacon, and they actually did it perfectly (and he ALWAYS complains about the bacon not being crispy enough at other places). Everything we ordered was great, hot, quick, and tasty except for the sausage gravy and biscuit. I think they're using canned gravy and it's pretty gross. Also was the only thing that was served less than hot. But other than that one tiny thing, everything was great. Waitress was super friendly and really attentive. Everyone is friendly here, even if you're out of towners. This is the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other in some way, but they didn't make us feel out of place at all. We will definitely stop here again.“
