BassamaticYeah, JB Hooks, Baxters Grill, and Bentley's are your best bets for fine dining. Bentley's is well known for their Prime Rib. They are all located down below Osage near Lake Ozark. They have a nice view of the Lake.
There are a number of restaurants located right on the Lake all are equipped with docks. This time of the year they will all be packed with boaters and it can be hectic at times. I avoid all of these during the summer. Another nice place is Kinderhook Golf course. They have the Trophy Room with a great western flair. It's located just north of Camdenton. Of course you will have the normal Applebees, Chili's and Outback.
Big Dick's is located a LONG way from the Lake near Ivy Bend. From the mainstream lake, plan on a 1-2 hour drive just to get there during the summer.
Hey, have a good time but just don't be in a hurry to get someplace. Traffic can get well, interesting.
