Our classic American restaurant builds on the rich history and tradition of excellence that the Lake of the Ozarks area is known for.
Baxter’s is the perfect place for a business or casual lunch, a special evening out, a family get together after a long day on the Lake or “just because.”
Hand-cut, premium steaks, fresh cream and butter, cheese grated by hand. Soups made in-house, daily, by our culinary team. Seafood flown in, from sushi-grade Viking Village Sea Scallops to fresh Canadian salmon. Salads made with carefully selected ingredients for flavor that delights the senses – ripe tomatoes and sweet peppers, the sweetest mangoes and pineapple, crisp apples, and more.
Savor the food, remember the view.
American classics, including lots of fish, in relaxed, upscale digs with windows open to the water.

The wife and I came here for our anniversary dinner. We were greated at the door by a very welcoming hostess. She even offered to take our picture by the Christmas tree and printed it off for our anniversary. Our server Zane was top notch in suggestions and service. I ordered the ribeye it was cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, seasoned well. The baked potato and green beans were amazing. The wife got the filet mignon which was so tender and melted in her mouth, the sweet potatoe fries were the best she has ever had. We also had calamari as a appetizer and the peppers were an awesome pair there were fried with it. Our waiter brought us out a free desert, carmel gooey buttercake, for our anniversary and it was also very good. Highly recommend this place over the other fancy options at the lake which we have tried. We will most definitely be back again.

Top Notch Restaurant, Food was perfect. The service was awesome. The Menu is bountiful, The Beer was beautiful and cocktails were spot on. The deserts were scrumptious. Wish I didn’t live 894 miles away this place would be my go to place for the sweet life. Thanks again.

I ordered some form of grilled chicken with a sauce that just wasn’t very good to me honestly, and as they sort of combined everytjing on the plate, it largely made me not want any of it. The vegetable of the day was green beans, which I tried, and were okay – but the rest of the dish was largely made not super great from the sauce.
The server was nice and the atmosphere was good – incredibly clean place with a nice view of the lake. Shame the food cost me 25 bucks plus a tip for something I really disliked though.

We’ve been coming here for years, but the quality has clearly gone downhill. Tonight was the final straw.
I stopped in after the dinner rush and sat at the bar. The server was attentive and did their job well. I ordered a burger medium well—not a complicated request.
The first burger came out medium rare. The server agreed and sent it back. A few minutes later, a second burger arrived. I cut into it, and it was rare—cold, raw ground beef mashed together.
Two chances, same mistake, worse the second time. This isn’t a minor hiccup; it’s basic cooking and food safety. After years of coming here, this was enough to make me done.

The food and service were outstanding. The deep fried scallops and stuffed lobster tail was so delicious. The gooey butter cake dessert is the best.

Food was great. Service was wonderful. My wife had the French Dip, I had the Turkey Pannini, they were both great. To top our exceptional lunch we had the very best of desserts, The Gooey Bar topped with Cinnamon Ice Cream which was Exquisite.

We made a last minute reservation while on a trip out to the area. I am so glad we did. The food was super amazing. The restaurant was for sure a vibe with those views. Nicole was so adorable and the nicest human being ever. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to go check them out and ask for Nicole!
