This was a super fun place to go for a last minute birthday dinner! The drinks and food were good, but the unique atmosphere is obviously the most notable feature. It is cold inside but not too chilly for shorts. I saw a lot of people coming off the river from float trips to have drinks and shoot pool outside under the shade. Also the patio is a really neat place as well, the goats were so friendly!!

Pros: atmosphere very nice. Got the 3/4 lb burger and it was good. I was hoping it would be great but it was good. Fries wasn’t bad.
Cons: men’s bathrooms and my wife said women’s bathroom needs a little extra attention. Close of the season so beer availability is limited.
Verdict; this place has a lot of potential. We’ll try them next year after the start of the season in May. Hopefully there will be a change in their menu.

Stopped by for some dinner after floating all day. The food is alright and the service was great. My husband and I sat outside and there were a lot of flies around so just make sure you keep your plates covered. They did have seating inside the cave but it was a tad too cold for me. They have goats outside which was a little strange to see at a bar/restaurant. Overall, not bad and I’ll probably be back again if I’m in the area.

Let me introduce you to one of the coolest pool bars at the Lake of the Ozarks. Doesn’t spending time in a pool with a view of the beautiful lake while sipping on cocktails and enjoying delicious food sound like a great way to spend the day?? Swim inside of the cave or hang out by one of the pool bars at The Cave…totally up to you! The Cave is one of the few pool bars at the Lake of the Ozarks that allow kids to also swim. Although kids are allowed, there is a section in the pool that is for adults only. The food menu is spectacular! From fried calamari, to loaded sandwiches, baskets of fries, tasty pizza, to creamy mac & cheese, there are plenty of options to keep you full and happy. Add The Cave to your bucket list before the summer ends!

We did not eat or even get to buy a drink inside.
We initially went into this very cool looking place. But turned right back around and stayed outside. The whole place smelled of natural gas. Even outside when the wind would change directions there was a very strong smell of natural gas.. 1 employee said she didn’t feel good until she got some fresh air outside.. I also watched 2 motorcycles go down in their gravel driveway. (Could be lack of experience on the riders part.)

The food was so good!! Inside of restaurant is in the cave, its small but such neat environment… Caution sign on wet floor and table/ seats were wet/from moisture in the cave. Also has a fenced area of alot of goats you can pet and feed before entrance. There is a reason which is another interesting story about the owner…self-sufficient (prepper) when economy collapses and live off the grid.

We went last year and I thought I left a review. Great staff, delicious food!! I recommend the Philly cheese steak. I took my drone since we were on vacation and got some cool outside shots.

Stopped in for lunch the weekend Bikes Blues and BBQ were passing through. The ambiance is cool. I mean it’s literally a restaurant in a literal cave. The food was good and the service as well. Definitely give the team here a thumbs up.

The people were friendly, the atmosphere was neat. I had the shrimp basket, the goat fart shot and a beer. I thought the shrimp were perfect and delicious coleslaw. The shots, yum yum!! The negative was, the roast beef sandwich needs more cheese sauce (according to my hubby) but chicken wing appetizer was good. More cheese on philly sandwich. But overall our waitress did a good job(she was new, so some things were a little out of order) however she was friendly and polite. Love the goats!!!!

Had a great Irish Trash Can in a wonderful cave environment. Pool tables and goats to feed outside as well.
