Jolly Rogers Grub & Grog Restaurant Review

Great location with lakeside view, dock for guests with a boat, good food, informal atmosphere

Fun place! The staff are very friendly, professional, and efficient. You can tell they are used to handling large crowds. The breakfast buffet and free refill on mimosas is the best! Traveling here via car is not easy, lots of curves and then a single lane dirt road. By boat is the way to go, and the dock staff are very helpful. The best part of all....the pirate ship! Kids were full of smiles.

The guy tied up our jet ski when we pulled in as well as help push us off when we left while being super friendly! Hostess/waitress was friendly and the food was Delicious! Looking at the menu at first things was a bit pricey but ended being worth it as soon as we bit into our food! We only got sweet tea to drink so can t comment on drinks but looking at other people s they looked great too!

Food and staff were awesome! Ordered the nacho appetizer that could have fed a family of four, biggest plate of nachos I've ever seen and as a bonus they were delicious. Dog friendly outdoor restaurant right on the water, what more could you ask for?

Our family loved the pirate ship adventure!!! Clean ship, friendly staff, creative and fun script and adventure! Perfect for all three boys- ages 5, 6, and 8! Plus- they ll reserve a table at the restaurant so you walk off the ship and right to lunch! The restaurant is open air but all shaded- a nice break from the sun for boaters! Food is great- and also there s a huge playground and small arcade for the kids. You should go!

Good food at great prices. Live entertainment and fireworks. Service was great too.

Excellent food and service! Loved that the establishment is pet friendly offering a doggy menu, and dog dishes Easy boat access! A must try eatery/ pub

This place is so much fun and always has great entertainment.

Okay food, band music was too loud to hear them sing. Fun place though.

It was great. Great service and food . Will be coming back !

First experience was on a weekday night. Great lake atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was way above expectations. Well done!

It is good but three meals were messed up and there were six of us so it was okay and the water kept putting the lid back on my drink so I kept having to take it off...

Second time I've been there, first time for "off season". Food has been good both times. Smaller menu for the off season and we weren't impressed with the mix drinks, but still, the food and service was good. We will for sure be back.

It was good for a family. Stuff for the kids to play on and with. The food was good, not great. I would recommend not getting the chips with your order and opt for the fries. The fries are really good, the chips not so much. Depends on your taste buds I guess. Great appetizers. The onion rings are huge, cheese curds very good. Our server was awesome and attentive. I would go back but would probabaly sit in a spot not near the kids play section, unless u have kids of course.

Our favorite place at the lake! Best bartenders and good for family outings with a playground and arcade for the kiddos!

Great service and food! Waitress was attentive and we never ran out of anything. Mojitos were good. Kid friendly. They talked about the parrot and the pirate for hours...

Great restaurant for people who want to boat up and grab a bite. There is a playground for kids as well as a vending machine to feed ducks and fish. Great to keep the kids occupied while waiting for food.

The wait staff is very nice and the food and drinks are great. Awesome restaurant if you are on the lake.

Great food and friendly and polite staff just took a really long time to get seated BUT the pirate finally took care of us.

My family and kids love it here. Owner and staff make you feel at home. They have an awesome playground and arcade. My kids did the pirate ship treasure hunt or was Awesome the staff was Amazing and always in character!

It's a great place our place was 2 houses down and we had to sell it it's a great place to eat

Very attentive staff. Dock workers know what they are doing and very helpful.

Really good but really expensive. Fun place we were cool with the big fan over us even though it was 90 degrees. Cheese curds were amazing.

Awesome Sunday brunch and Bloody Marys would go back in

Food was good (fried pickles and onion rings). Service was a little slow. Over all a good experience.

We had so much fun there. The carb boil was amazing

Food is always wonderful! The Blues are an awesome family and hands on! Entertainment is always great!

A must go place when you are in the Ozarks! Great atmosphere, great food and guaranteed fun.

Ate there for the breakfast buffet. It was good, but small selection for the price.

Great breakfast buffet. Plenty of food and was delicious. Kids enjoyed the pirate adventure too!

Unique but simple selection of menu items. Great service without going overboard.

Great grub and service. Live music every night as well

Great food at moderate price but a long drive but roads leave a lot to be desired

Great food and drinks. Wish they had a swimming area!

Awesome service and creatively delicious grub! Finding treasure on the Calipso with Capt Scallywag is a must!

They let you hold a parrot and my kids loved the pirate stuff.

Really cool place. Best accessed by boat tho. The food was good, drinks were too. The atmosphere is a 10.

It's a little hard to get there by car(easy with a gps, but some sketchy roads), but worth it. The kids really loved the playground, arcade, getting to hold the parrot, and feeding the fish. I really liked the atmosphere, TVs to watch the Cards game, and a scenic view. The service was really good and everyone enjoyed the food. Prices are a little high but the portions you get are huge. I usually don't need a doggy bag, but I did this night. I will be returning here on my next trip to the lake.

A favorite stop on the lake. Good food, great breakfast buffet on the weekends and holidays. Service is always fast and friendly. Haven't had a meal yet that wasn't delicious!!!

Excellent service! Everyone was friendly, the food was great! We had oysters and shrimp.

Classic lake food. And great service as always. Love that they bring a water bowl for your dog.

If you have a boat in your bar... you are a great bar to boat too!

This is such an awesome Place great atmosphere great food great help I go there at least once a month

Jolly has an unbelievable breakfast/brunch "all you can eat" buffet. By far, the best on the Lake. It is worth the trip! Omlette's, french toast and pancakes made to order and unbelievable eggs benidict, fruit, bacon, sausage, mac and cheese to name a few.

The pirate at Jolly Rodgers was hilarious and great to talk to. Their frozen drinks are the best on the lake!

Awesome brunch buffet, staff was amazing atmosphere was fun & incredible will be back!

The restaurant was clean. Parrot head music on speakers plus a fairly good musician played intermittently. I had the cajun shrimp boil being from the low country of Georgia. Shrimp were large and cooked perfectly. The corn however tasted like feed corn, waxy. Corn bread was painfully dry and it took a long time to get butter. They brought drawn butter first? So nice atmosphere and entertainment but I think the food lacked finesse. Paying $24 for a meal and they won't use Sweet Corn?

Great food! Great people! Great time!!! If you haven't tried it your missing out on one of the lakes best restaurants...

Great service and food. Never had a bad experience in the numerous time we have gone.

It was hard to get to by car, but the atmosphere was awesome and it's right on the water. Food was good too!!

Gotta go by boat - good slips and summer dock help. Great food and the owners are awesome!

Ate Breakfast Buffet during summer time, flies were all over the food, the food did not look fresh and priced high. Too bad, cause I love good breakfast places.

Don't take the chartered Calypso cruise. Watched that thing almost capsize last August when the engine failed.

Terrible cover bands on the weekend.

Place is annoying.

This place is way cool. From the dockside valet to the many craft beers, just an awesome atmosphere. Try the Piggy Wiggly burger; outstanding! Also Jolly Rogers has a great stage and live music.

Good food and drinks and we love listening to Grayson Wood on Sundays.

Great Food! Friendly Service :) Decent Prices ! We always have a great Lake experience at Jolly's!!

It was a great time! Loved the atmosphere and food. Great service!!

The ambience is outstanding the employees however are less than desirable! The young man working at the dock was so sweet and so accommodating I really did not expect the service to be so poor. We are here from Sarasota Florida and chose to come to this place because of its reputation. I was beyond disappointed at how I was treated when I came here with my 2 kids. Neither ATM was working and they have an arcade. Needless to say no one attempted to help me get any cash back, or really cared to assist us. It is out of season so it's not like they are terribly busy. But all in all we will not be coming back any time soon. Such a shame because it looked so cool.

Fun time. Decent food. Has a playground, arcade, gift store and boat dock.

Food was good. Great hamburger. Very pricy. $54.00 for filet. It is back in the boon docks by road. Last 3 miles rough. Drive a truck or jeep.
