What We're Craving in October

This time of the year is a wonderful time to embrace the change in scenery. The trees will start changing, the weather is invigorating, and the view couldn't be better from our Horseshoe Bend location! You can sit back, enjoy the enchanting view of the Lake, and relish the savory flavors of Fall from our menu all at the same time, from your favorite Lake of the Ozarks Restaurant. Here are a few delicacies we're sure you'll love this month!

Portobello Mushroom

Nothing says Fall to us than a delicious portobello mushroom. This delicacy is sautéed in butter, with strong flavors of garlic, and a delicious Rizzo's marinade. This appetizer is mouth watering for sure!

WINGS!

This time of years screams wings! Maybe it's because football has kicked back into gear, maybe it's because the flavors perfectly accompany the spiciness of Fall. Whatever it is, now is the time to come in and grab the best wings at the Lake of the Ozarks. There are several amazing flavors to pick from:


  • Rizzo's Italian - 2011 Wing Ding 1st Place Winner!

  • Dirty
A dry mildly spiced wing.
  • Original
Tossed in a buttery hot sauce
  • Mojo

Apple Calzone

This is definitely a Fall favorite. The flakey pastry shell is filled with Autumn goodness and you enjoy the flavors of apple and cinnamon. Of course, topping this fantastic combination with caramel and a scoop of ice cream only make it better! This desert calzone will melt in your mouth as you enjoy every last bite. 

Pumpkin Spice Martini

As you let the flavors of a delicious meal settle, you can finish it off with our amazing Pumpkin Spice Martini. This brings us all the way around to a delicious finale on a perfect Fall meal. Sit back and enjoy the big game on one of our many TV's, or enjoy watching the leaves change from our Horseshoe Bend deck, while sipping this amazing combination of vanilla vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream, Pumpkin Flavored Liqueur and a cinnamon and nutmeg topping.
