   Our waiter Rick was amazing. Very knowledgeable and prompt. Our meal was fantastic. My husbands steak wasn’t cooked properly but they fixed it immediately. Filet was fantastic.

   Went for our anniversary, service was outstanding! We had Johnny as a waiter, great conversation and service. Food, eh. Wife had pasta and was good, I had a ribeye and it was completely over seared. Edges looked like jerky. Otherwise everything was great!

   Great food and excellent service from a server named Kelly. Kelly helped steer us into a nice rib eye steak and a wonderful Grouper Supreme. Definitely a repeatable dining experience.

   This is the 3rd time we have dinner at JB Hooks this boating season. Food is as always delicious. We are becoming to like the way they cook the fish and its favor. Plan to try out all fishes they have on the menu. Our waitress this time, Vanessa, is highly commended for her excellent service and professionalism. She has raised the bar of JB Hooks service back to what I always expected since many years ago. Thank you.

    When we received the apps they were cold, and the steak bites were undercooked. We asked for extra salad dressing with salads and did not get. Entree also arrived cold. After we decided to take home leftovers to heat and eat and home, waiter brought us the to go boxes with checks from our table and others inside our to go box. Can not even imagine how dirty the leather holders with the checks are / were. We had gone there a couple weeks and food quality was not that great in that case either. Knowing everyone has a bad night we tried again but very disappointed again.

    Great Place, actually two restaurants in one location, as half is a lively bar, 3 - 10pm happy hour, other side is fine dining. Fantastic view of main channel, great food, service, and great live music too.

    Very expensive and the food didn’t have much flavor. Best part was the bread served before the dinner with the cream cheese spread. I won’t go back.

    We’ve enjoyed JB Hooks several times. Great steaks and seafood, and the crab Rangoon appetizer is delicious. Last night we had Johnny as our server. He was excellent. He took great care in helping me make selections due to a food allergy. We will definitely go back and ask to be sat with him again.

    We have been coming to JB Hooks for years and this was the worst experience we have had there. We had a reservation over a month in advance just to arrive 5 minutes early and still had to wait 30 minutes to get seated. We then had to wait 15 minutes for our server to even greet us, another 25 minutes to get our drinks. Even when the restaurant was nearly empty, the server took 20 minutes to get us our checks after asking for them, and was snippy about paying her right away even though the rest of the evening seemed to be no rush. I definitely understand that places are understaffed but this was not what we expected and definitely did not meet the standards that we had since our previous experiences were so nice.

    We typically love this place. It was one of our favorites. Today we were less than impressed. The walleye was served on a plate alone and looked quite greasy. A very odd presentation. My husband ordered the filet and crab legs. The price was $121, which is fine, but the crab legs were very small. Our daughter enjoyed her meal, she had steak Neptune. Our waitress served fine but with very little personality and never once asked how everything was even after taking my plate away without much eaten. We are very forgiving with staff and situations employers are in in this day and age but getting a bill for over $320 before the tip for a mediocre meal is nothing we will do again.

    Normally, JB Hooks is our #1 Lake of the Ozarks restaurant. Unfortunately, on this visit (June 14, 2022), the service was very below par. Service waiters and waitresses are usually top rated, but on this night, the first waitress insulted us, claiming we were a squeeze in [even though we had made reservations]; the second was so busy with other guests, it took forever to be served. It seemed that on this night, JB Hooks was understaffed. We had brought out-of-town guests with us, so their first experience with JB Hooks was not a good one.

    Jake was our server he was great, fun personality and very polite and attentive. Justin was our bartender, he made excellent drinks and gave perfect suggestions based upon our preferences. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented, we had oysters, scallops & the sea bass special. Great view of the lake from our table. JB Hooks never disappoints.

    No surprise here, JB Hook’s has once again knocked it out of the fine dining stadium!!! We always look forward to dining at JB Hook’s every time we come to LOTO. The restaurant is so beautiful and has the best views of the lake/sunset. It’s been a few years but I am still impressed with the design of the new dining room, and we still love eating in the old dining room as well! Chloe and all of the wait staff did an excellent job. We looking forward to coming back to dinner in July!

    We’ve been here before and it’s always been great. This time was a bit different and not quite what we were expecting but or waiter Jake made up for it. So glad we had him again. We’ll be back and hopefully it’s not quite as busy.

    Server was knowledgeable and prompt. My steak was cooked to correct temperature. My husband’s lobster tail outstanding. The escargot has too much breading which doesn’t seem to have a purpose to the dish.

    The view from any table was spectacular as it advertises. The variety of menu was so great I couldn't decide but ordered the crabcakes for appetizer and blackened salmon with asparagus with greek salad and it was the best meal. All I can say! Tender, juicy, flavorful and service was impeccable. My husband ordered the 16oz ribeye and he said it was super juicy and the flavor was so good.

    JBHooks s one of our favorite restaurants here. Service is always outstanding. Our waitress, Marty, was top notch, with a friendly personal greeting, complete knowledge, and she made us feel like friends. She was attentive without being intrusive. Her recommendations were great, and she made dinner seem like a special occasion, but with no hassle. Although we’ve never had a bad server at Hooks, Marty stands out as exceptional. Thank you, Marty.
