It’s a favorite Lake of the Ozarks hotspot as well as the home of the Shootout and Aquapalooza: there’s no place at the Lake quite like Captain Ron’s!
The prime location on the 34 Mile Marker, plus fabulous food and drinks and white-sand beaches galore make Captain Ron’s Bar & Grill popular with boaters young and old. Visitors to Captain Ron’s enjoy the huge protected swimming area, the Adirondack chairs, the volleyball court, and the kids’ playground. The place is hopping on summer weekends and is packed with lots to see and do during the Shootout.
To Eat
BBQ Pineapple Goat Cheese Pizza
This pizza is a BBQ lover’s dream. With a perfect crust and a great BBQ sauce that will knock your socks off, Captain Ron’s does it right. The pineapple brings a sweetness to the burn of jalapeños, and the goat cheese adds a slight tang that completes the gourmand flair.
Crab Roll
The perfect food to eat with a view of the white sand beaches at Captain Ron’s. With tender pieces of crab meat and a soft bread roll, this Crab Roll is delicious and hearty enough to fill you up! Tasty and tropical, you’ll want to order this one.
New Premium Salmon Salad
With crispy romaine and spinach, tart-and-sweet cranberries, and a sprinkling of feta cheese, this abundant salad is enough to feed two! And they’ll both be happy. The premium salmon salad is the way to go. And that says nothing of the tender and flavorful cut of salmon that tops it all off.
8-Ounce Filet with Scallops and a Baked Potato
This steak has a delicious char and flavorful herbal rub; plus it’s tender enough to be cut with a fork. The scallops make this plate next-level. Thick and juicy with a spicy kick at the end, they’re the perfect compliment to a great steak. The baked potato loaded with bacon makes this meal enough for the hungriest boater.
To Drink
Drunken Mermaid
This tropical, blue-tinted beauty is as good as its name! With bold pineapple and a smooth taste of coconut rum, the Drunken Mermaid is the perfect tropical choice.
Teremana on the “Rock”
The Teremana on the “Rock” brings together Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s signature, small-batch Teremana Tequila, agave, lime, pineapple juice, and just a splash of OJ. It’s a truly unique cocktail with a great citrus mix.
