About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views

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.

    Busy 4th of July and still a great experience. We’re frequent diners of Baxter’s, but this visit had another couple. Scott was quick to get drinks and even recommended a wine. Filet special was amazing and the warm rolls they always bring are so tasty! The dessert platter was terrific with three choices all being full size. Don’t forget to try an after dinner drink. The Nochello is excellent to sip.

    first time disappointed at baxters! we go there at least twice a month. i guess we should have skipped close to a holiday. we were rushed at the table. they brought our salads and five minutes later here are our entrees. we ate the entrees basically cool to the touch. we sat down at the table and ordered a drink at 6 pm and we had ate and was home by 7!!!!! i know they had a crowd but that type of treatment is ridiculous especially considering the cost.

    Baxters is a fantastic place to eat with beautiful views and excellent food. We’ve been eating there for years and have never been disappointed. The service is always excellent and if you are in the area of the lake of the Ozarks, it is a definite stop.

    This is definitely the place to go for high days and holidays, and the best place ever to eat for special occasions. You cannot beat Baxters for ambience, good food, great value and special attention. They allowed us to share a meal from the dinner menu (even though it was lunch time) and we had a fabulous three course that was and will be very memorable for the best of reasons.

    Pleasantly surprised. We celebrated a major Birthday at Baxter and could not have been a better experience. The music level was perfect. There are some restaurants that has pounding annoying music and cannot relax and enjoy all the beautiful people enjoying themselves. Baxter was outstanding and would definitely recommend them to my best of friends. Lastly, the chairs were very comfortable.
