Fantastic!! Everything was good, including the service. Highly recommend.
Food and atmosphere were amazing.....I can't wait to go back!!!!
If you like cajun food, this is your place. The gumbo and jambalaya are excellent. Catfish sandwich was also good!
Shorty Pants was so good! We came here twice on our vacation and both times the food and service were great! The po boy sandwiches were delicious! I would definitely recommend eating here!
Good food
Nice place
Sunny day, boats coming in, food, service wonderful.
Not a good place to eat. Ordered 4 meals for the four of us and No one could eat.
Food and service far from the best. Hayden was awesome. $80, 3 ppl, 1 cocktail. JD burgers are good!! Blackened catfish poboy good. Other 4 things we ordered, not so much.
The only problem was it took a bit to get our food, but it was for a party of 10. Otherwise the deck was nice seating and the food was good!
Great view. Service was decent. Food sucked. Cajun pasta was a tiny portion and catfish was gross. No flavor and very chewy.
Nice location on the water. Better menu than most water front restaurants at the lake. Good side dishes.
Amazing outdoor atmosphere. Food was delicious. Visited with 5 others, we ended up eating off each others plates as we couldnt decide individually what we wanted, so we got a little od everything.
Their shrimp po boy is awesome, right on the lake, perfect setting,
Waited 40 Minutes for and outside table. Well worth the wait. We were able to see the duck, fish & turtles. The boats passing by was a great atmosphere. The Guest guitar player was really good. Food was amazing. Everything was made to perfection - Drinks never ran low. Server was Funny and extremely tentative to all of our requests.
Great food and service, with great views, close to Three Season's Resort!
We had shrimp and bacon wraps that were out of this world! Highly Recommend!!
Went for apps and a cocktail. The fried oysters come highly recommend
Dog friendly!
Super good food! Right on lake side!!Very friendly staff and very good at there jobs! Great experience will be back
Great view great food and one man band Steven Moore is pretty damned good.
Great catfish! We arrived by boat. Drinks could be stronger, but whatever good times.
Great place to eat!! Friendly staff and awesome food.
Had a Ceasar Salad, the Dirty Jambalaya and Crab Cake Pasta. All was very good, and needless to say I left with 2 to-go boxes. My server, Tara, was super nice and on point! Will definitely be back.
Amazing food. The medley was top notch. Not a fan of beans but the jambalaya and shrimp etouffee we're amazing Id definitely go back for more
We waited an extremely long time for our bbq chicken wings appetizer. My dressing on my salad was watered down. The raspberry sauce for my dessert was watered down. On my fettuccine there was 4 tiny little shrimp on it. The crab cakes where not fresh they were shipped in already made frozen. They were very gummy inside and you could not see or taste anything but the breading inside. I don't think there was any crab or shrimp in it. Very sad food. Definitely not worth the money they charged for the food. I could have gotten this food from Captain D's. Awful food. Too much money for low quality food and service.
This place was amazing! Best etouffee I have had in Missouri! Not to mention the staff was awesome since we walked in 30 minutes before closing. We will for sure be back.
This was a restaurant right next to the condo we stayed at for a weekend getaway. The food was phenomenal, and the staff went above and beyond. Our waitress, Stephanie, was the absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond her duties. She made sure we enjoyed our food, grabbed us serval miscellaneous items, and recommended great drinks and appetizers. This is a must stop while you are at the Ozarks. And if possible ask for Stephanie to be your server. You will not be disappointed.
Party of 5 on Sunday. We ordered an appetizer and it came out 2 minutes before our entrees. Our food was okay, but one entree was missing the side item which took another 8-10 minutes to come out. The frozen drinks tasted good, but the alcohol content was non-existent. We paid an extra $2 for a "floater" which didn't do much for the strength of the drink. Overall I wouldn't recommend it.
Great blacken fish!!!! Jambalaya was yummy spicy and corn bread muffin has a hint of sweetness!! We will definitely be back!
The catfish was very fresh all of the side dishes were hot and tasty waitress was real nice and professional
Took the family out to explore new to us places and stumbled upon this place. Awesome food, good size portions. It is pricey, but very good food and will return one day
Shrimp and grits tacos are a must try item. Looks like they are now on the full time menu...not just an insert item.
Wonderful food! Wonderful service! Excellent location!
So cool! Love the atmosphere and the menu was diverse with American +creole style dishes. Peel and eat shrimp was fresh and tasty, and the bloody mary cocktail sauce with it was Amazing! While here you can channel your inner kid and feed the ducks & fish from your lakeside table! So fun!
Atmosphere was great right on the the water. Service was good. My husband loved his Quesadillas. My chicken Caesar salad was not very good. I asked for the chicken blackened and that was delicious but the lettuce was soft and seemed like it had been frozen at one point and the dressing was not to my taste. We had the doughnuts with raspberry sauce for dessert, absolutely delicious!!! If not for the lettuce and dressing on the Caesar would have been 5 stars. Would definitely go back and try something else especially since my husband loved his and the dessert was so good.
Might be a good place to hang out with friends but the food was mediocre at best.
I love Abby's style of helping me. I appreciate all the advice. Great refueling and food.
Great food, service was quick and they got everything right for a table of 12 at 6:00 walk in on the water. Can't ask for much better.
Great food....summer time you may wait a bit however the staff is good at keeping the drinks available for you and your party...
Dockside authentic Cajun cooking with friendly staff and beautiful lakeside views
Nice waterfront bar. The food is really good and decent prices. On weekends they usually have a live band and the staff is friendly. Plenty of docks for boats of all sizes and they also have a fuel station for boats.
Food was the best part, which is really all that matters. I had Cajun Alfredo and spouse had red beans and rice. Just enough spice, plenty of other menu options. Wait staff was meh, kinda rude and inattentive for a not so busy evening. We sat outside and battled flies a bit, but it's outside.
Great atmosphere. Food is amazing and huge portions
Sam gave us great service and the food was great as always. The tomato/artichoke cream soup was amazing. Never disappointed here!
Jack Daniels burger is a definite perfect score. 5/7
Shorty Pants Gas Dock...simply the BEST experience! The lounge is likely OK too!
Food was delicious and portions generous. Not a pet person so all the dogs, 2 large, in the bar while I'm eating was a bit much. Excellent, attentive service.
This place is amazing drove 2 hours to try the food and everything was fresh and delicious the people were caring and nice I would come here agian worth the 2 hour drive
The smothered catfish is Delicious, the service was excellent.
Great atmosphere, excellent service and not only was the food incredible the portions were too! Price was right for a lake restaurant.
We visitied Shorty Pants while we were at the Lake for the last warm September weekend. We moored our boat at the very large pier and walked up- very clean and nice. We were seated immediately, of course, because it was off season. Service was prompt and outstanding, thank you Dawn! The food was hot and fresh: Coconut shrimp was tasty & the Oyster Po-Boy was the best according to my brother, who has eaten here before. The Asian salad was loaded with ingredients and a slightly spicy (yum) dressing. We had a great lunch on the water- we'll be back!
Entrees were way over priced for what you get. Atmosphere was nice and quiet during the off season. When we go back we'll have appetizers, drinks and skip the entrees. Staff is very friendly, food was good, outside fireplace was very nice.
Fun bar restaurant at the lake of the ozarks great food great view.
Food was very tasty and staff was very friendly. A little on the expensive end but quantity was substantial.
This place is fantastic! Great service, food, location, and atmosphere! We'll be telling EVERYONE about it!
Magnificent Cajun food. Great service and water side view to watch the boats come in off the Lake.
Was not really impressed with the food. Didnt find anything wrong with the food, it was O.K. I just expected more quality for the price I paid for it. Gave it 3 stars cause my server, Baylee, was fantastic. Best server I've seen in a long time.
Server was awesome! Very attentive and friendly! Food was excellent! Great atmosphere!
The outdoor patio had a great view and the live music was refreshing. The waitstaff was very attentive and the drinks were amazing!
