My friend and I came from out of state to check out the Lake of the Ozarks and we were intrigued by the reviews for JB Hooks Restaurant. The ambience of JB Hooks is outstanding. I had the blueberry Lemon Drop and wow, that drink was good! The food was very good. I had the Chicken Oscar and my friend ate the filet. We were both impressed with the food here. You know what makes a great dining experience, is the friendliness of the waitress. Her name is Marty. She didn't rush us, she was so sweet, and was very helpful with my friend who is gluten intolerant. She took our picture and told us to make sure we waited for the sunset because it is so beautiful over the lake. She was really, really good and I would request her table. I wanted to ask for a Manager just to tell them what a great asset she is to your restaurant. But I figured this review would be just as good. Thank you for a great evening Marty at a beautiful, delicious restaurant.

Great food and view of the lake. Marty was great.

Beautiful place with a great menu. A wide range of options. Kelly was our server and was extremely pleasant and attentive. She does a wonderful job!

Dinner was very good! The service was excellent! We had a great view of the lake, as we had requested. We were also surprised with a special anniversary dessert which was very tasty!

The food was great, the service was great and the view is wonderful. One of my favorite places at the lake to have a nice dinning experiance.

Excellent food and service. Steaks are tender! We will be back.

Had a table next to the windows overlooking the lake and watched the storm come in. Service was awesome, food amazing! Thanks Sierrah!

Zach was our server and he was outstanding. Ne was very friendly and completely knowledgeable of the food and specials.

John was extremely informative and helpful helping us make a choice in drinks and dinner. He was very attentive making sure we had everything we needed all throughout the meal. Very nice atmosphere .
Your Main Hostess Rebecca deserves extra accolades for her attention to reservations & seating availability. She was very kind to make sure all those there for Happy Hour as well as dinner reservations had a drink while waiting if desired. She kept her composure when patrons were rude or short with her due to the shortage of tables in the bar area.

JB Hooks is the best fine dining restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. We always eat here when we visit the LOTO. The service is great and the food is first rate. The view from the new dining room is awesome.

My wife and I have been going to JB Hooks for almost 14 years on our wedding anniversary, it never fails to meet our expectations in terms of food and experience. We went to Hooks first on our wedding night over a decade and a half ago and have continued to return ever since. We are always treated very well, the lake view is great and the ambiance is wonderful. The food is top-notch, I always get the Prime Rib, I am never able to finish it all. I was raised in an Army family all over the world, grew up at the foot of the German Alps, and spent four years in the Army myself as a Paratrooper, I have been to a lot of places, and eaten a lot of different types of food. I love living at the Lake and JB Hooks is the perfect fit for the Lake area. If I really want to treat myself and my family, it's always JB Hooks.

Excellent service, delicious meal!!

Delicious dinner!

Best food I have ever had. Will definitely return!

Awesome food! This is our favorite restaurant at the lake

Absolutely great experience we celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary, my wife said it was the best steak she has ever had. View was awesome and Rick our server was spot on great job. We will definitely be back

The food is always good. It’s the best restaurant at the lake.

You would think this place would not of been a selection for me due to me not being a steak person, but I wanted to try it out and order what they are known for. There really are no words for the absolute perfection of the steak and well frankly everything else that I consumed while dining. From the Mayfair salad to the filet and baked potato to the crime brûlée ALL FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL. Service was phenomenal as well. My server went above and beyond to help me find a steak I would like and made sure it was cooked well and even suggested that I have it butterflied. Everyone offered to take our dishes and fill our water. You felt taken care of and not a bother.

1st time you the Lake and to JB Hooks. Johnny Grist was our server and he was excellent. He offered great recommendations and he didn't disappoint!

We really enjoyed our dinners. We have never had a bad experience when eating here. Food is consistent and service is above average. Tonight we had Jake he was exceptional. We look forward to our return.

Great dinner as usual with family tonight. Jake our waiter went above & beyond, great service and very personable. 3 out of 4 got the 1881 filets, they melted in our mouths. Love JB Hooks every time we go, doesn’t matter if its the bar side for happy hour or the dining room, we always leave happy!!

Great dining experience. Food was spectacular and our service from Jake was great.

Although our server, Kelly, was tired at the end of a long day and previously busy weekend she was very helpful and enthusiastic to assist our table of 5, including 3 chittering teenage girls. This is our go to
place and we are never disappointed.
