Description: An authentic American restaurant with a great bar - that's the idea behind Baxter's. We're perfect for just about any dining occasion or gathering that calls for great food, warm, personal service and an inviting, casual atmosphere. Our classic American restaurant builds on the rich history and tradition the Lake Area is known for. We use only the finest, freshest ingredients, coupled with personal service and warm, inviting surroundings. We're happy to bring this dining experience to the Lake of the Ozarks. 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.' We can accommodate most any group from an intimate dinner for two to a business or family party in our private dining room. And don't forget our classic American bar, one of the Lake's great places to meet friends and family.

We have been to Baxter's a few times but somehow I had missed their signature dessert...(and I'm a dessert person). Their Gooey Butter Cake with Cinnamon Ice Cream is worth the trip...no matter how far it is!

My wife and I went there to celebrate Mother's Day and our 30th Anniversary. Friends had taken us there as a thank-you previously. We were impressed and decided to go back. We were not disappointed! I had made the reservation online, noting the special occasion. The owner greeted us and wished us a Happy Anniversary; my wife didn't know I... More

We really enjoyed the location right above the lake and the food was delicious. Same views as JB Hooks but nicer deck and less expensive food. Service was really good.

Consistently good! That is the highest compliment you can pay a restaurant and this establishment has that down. Good menu, great service, excellent atmosphere and everything is great . Absolutely recommend this to clients in town and they will high 5 you.

Trying to eat out gluten-free is always very challenging. Finding a restaurant that has gluten-free options is always great, but finding one that has a nice variety of great-tasting gluten-free options is beyond exciting to a person with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Baxter's has a great gluten-free menu. I tried the scallop option and it was excellent. My waiter... More

It is hard to say which impressed me most. The food was fantastic and presented most attractively. Please try their baked potato soup!! It is offered every day and is the best I have ever eaten The menu offers a wide range of items at modest prices. You will recognize the entrée by name but it will be presented with... More

I've eaten there three times; and must say the food is as good as it gets at the Lake Of The Ozarks. The waiters are also great. The bar, on the other hand, must have very low overhead because the drinks seem to have about half the alcohol content of those at any other bar in the area. Then there's... More

Came today, as we were out shopping and looking for a nice place to eat a quick lunch. We found this place previously when JB Hooks was too busy. We found Baxters worth coming back to. But, today it was a mess. When we arrived, the bar was empty (about 133 PM). More than half the tables were empty. But... More

On a Sunday afternoon at 1:30, I would not think an established restaurant could be overwhelmed but this place clearly was. When I walked in there were there groups ahead of me and no employee to be found. After 5 minutes, the hostess appeared. It took a few more minutes to be seated. After more than 5 minutes at the...
