“Visited again on the 7th, did not disappoint. Went for breakfast they were very busy we were told 25 min. However a place opened at the bar so we got in quicker. Ordered Denver omelet with hashbrown. Got a cinnamon roll to go. Good thing we did because we could not have eaten it as there is always plenty of food. Got to the cinnamon roll on the 9th still so soft and so good. Would recommend 12 out of 10...I can not rave about this restaurant enough. My husband and I were looking for a late breakfast we saw an ad for the Rusty Rooster, went to find they were closing at 12:00 yep we arrived at 12:00. They happily sat us at a table knowing they were closing we offered to come another time. " I was a waitress I know how it is to seat a table at closing". The staff and Manager were all very pleasant and helpful with everything! The food.... oh my the food... so much food... and so delicious!! This is a must if you are anywhere near the strip. They do breakfast thru dinner I believe. I will be back on my next visit to the Lake Of The Ozarks.“

“Valentine's Day dinner 2024. Had reservations. Had to wait briefly while walk-in diners were seated before us. Not sure what was up with that. But we got a great table so maybe that's why we waited. Food was excellent as usual. Waitress was great. FYI, if you order a cocktail on ice, they charge $5 for a large ice cube, no warning. Odd. Could have taken the ice from our water glass for free. All in all, it was a pleasant experience with good food, just a couple unexpected quirks, atypical of Baxters.Older: View is great. Food is good and plentiful. Short wait for a "great table" by a wall (to be fair there was a window by my husband) at 149 pm on a Thursday before Memorial day.“

“It was a warm Sunday in February, and the place was hopping. I am sure that in winter, they were not planning on the turnout that they had. This is my favorite little bar and grill at the lake. Was just too busy for the wait staff to keep up. Not necessarily their fault.“

“Older architectural designs. I think the place is like 50 years old. Lakeviews from some tables. My wife had escargot and scallops and loved it. I like dipping bread in the juices. Can't do the escargot ? I had steak and shrimp and the couple with us had steak as well. We both ordered ours medium. Mine had no pink and theirs was rare. Not sure what the chef is doing behind the scenes there. The steak was still tender but a shame to do that to a filet. I understand they're famous for their prime rib if you're into that. Lots of parking. We stopped at the bar beforehand and had cocktails. The bartender was nice. Good service as well.“

“Grabbed a drink and afternoon snack here after getting in town for a conference. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the lake view. Our waiter was new to the restaurant and did a great job. He checked back often to ensure our drinks were full and to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend the loaded bbq nachos!“

“I will be back a 2nd time to make sure I grab photos, as I was starving and didn’t have time to grab photos before the food was gone.I took my family to the Blue Cat for dinner and we were more then impressed. Food ordered included: Catfish, Lobster Roll, Ruben, Smash Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken wings and Fried Green Beans.The catfish is amazing and would highly recommend. The lobster roll is bigger then your head and amazing. Wings are super crispy and moist, and the fired green beans were A++. Their house chips are amazing, and we’re enjoyed by all.Highly recommend. Plenty of socks if you want to boat in, or a simple drive down to the end of HH.“
