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.

    Our drinks and food were perfect. We sat on the patio and were able to watch the boats on the lake. This is our second time dining here and we plan to come back the next time we visit

    We had a wonderful experience at Baxter’s while on our annual anniversary trip to Osage Beach. The requested a table with a view of the lake and the views did not disappoint! The staff was fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious! For our anniversary, we were presented with a beautiful piece of Baxter’s signature Caramel Gooey Butter Cake and it was to die for!! Highly recommend Baxter’s for special occasions at the Lake!
