Got some food. Prices were not that high for the quality of the food. Drinks are high priced but are strong. The place has many shaded areas you can find with tables and lounging. Wether it be chairs, sofas or chairs by the pool. Swim up pool bar was okay. Beautiful but barely deep enough to relax in the water. But the view was beautiful to watch the sunset.
A nice happening bar adjoining the lake with nice view, great server and fast service. Cocktails, beer and bar food were decent and fairly priced.
If you love eating outside on a deck this is the place for you! Food has always been good when we eat there, huge portions.
We were only here briefly to check out the view which was amazing. Pool next to the lake was awesome with swim up bar. Bartenders were friendly, we were here on a Sunday afternoon with our family. It seemed that kids were welcome in the pool during the weekdays.
This place was great! I stopped by there on a road trip and had the most amazing food and fed the cute fish I highly recommend this place, and you should try the gator bites (there delicious 😋)
Wow, much better!
The old homes have been torn down to make way for the much improved parking lot plus some other upgrades like lighting, new turf, additional seating, etc. The place felt safe and comfortable with friendly staff serving up great drinks and some amazing pizza! My previous visits here were always very brief. Guess the ‘Shady’ vibe has been replaced with a ‘See ya soon’ vibe now. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed a great concert!
Love the Legendary sweet and crunchy tenders! The fish is so good! And when you dip it into the raspberry tarter sauce it’s even better.
Love this place! Special thanks to JB for helping us out! Go there try the pool and the food!
The burger was well past medium but still edible. It's a tourist trap so you kind of get what you'd expect. Very country as far as music. Pretty view.
We had such a great time hanging out at this beautiful pool while in town for a bachelorette weekend! Can’t say anything about the food because I didn’t try it but the drinks were reasonable and the bartender was awesome! It’s a good thing we had to go back to our room to get ready for our boat ride because we were having too much fun and I may not have made it out!
The service, the people, and the food were fabulous. We got in fast and we got great food and the waitress was wonderful and quick too. We absolutely loved this restaurant! It is so fun and right on the lake so you have the best views! Will be going back as soon as we can!
Shady Gators is a must if you’re at the Lake of the Ozarks. The food is amazing, you must try the Surf & Sizzle appetizer or any of the subs from the pizza menu - also the pizza!!! The pizza is some of the best on the lake. My server was amazing & attentive, the live music was also super good. I’ll definitely be coming back for that Jet sub many times this summer!!
Overall 8.2/10
Awesome location on the Lake with beautiful views to enjoy some delicious food lake side. With some lake specific foods not found in most places. Multiple bars, live music, and awesome food. First day I was here I ordered the ultimate po boy. Was a huge serving and great flavor matched with their red beans and rice this was a great combo and a lot of food. The second outing I ordered the chicken deluxe sandwich although great taste didn't match the po boy and other signature dishes. The Cajun popcorn is a great starter. Recommend coming here if you are in the lake. Day time crowd is a lot more relaxed and Mellow while the night crowd is a bit more rowdy and in party mode.
Had a great experience here recently, just before the real Summer Rush begins. We went in just to check out the establishment, as we hadn’t been here before. There is SO MANY places within the complex to see and experience the “Gator” environment just a bit different from another.
The staff seems eager to get the Summer started, and have their routines down, the menu memorized, and the skills to give you a great experience.
We specifically ordered a Seafood Nachos, which my kids, as well as I, quite enjoyed. We also wanted to try the pizza, as you can smell it cooking from many spots around the complex. The pizza did not disappoint.
Give this place a try! Good people, good views, great experience!
Great drinks and food. Good prices. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. They bring in great bands too - dr zhivagos, well hungarians, too name a few. Boat docks and car accessible. Great service. Lots of outside seating. Great view of the lake
I can't say enough good things about this place. The food was delicious, and portions were healthy! The staff was so friendly and helpful! And one of the managers came out to thank us for ordering from them! Thank you JG and staff for accommodating us "out of towners". Can't wait to come back!
