Explore The Cave!

by Tegan Pasley

 

Just off Lake of the Ozarks main channel is an extraordinary dining destination: a highly popular spot for casual dining, drinks in the pool, and a one-of-a-kind experience chillin’ in a cave! It’s The Cave Bar & Grill. With plenty of docks for visitors and a wraparound pool that extends inside a natural cave, this is a must-visit waterfront restaurant for the summer.

 

Both out in the sun and inside the cave, there’s ample space for families to spend the day and a fun way to escape the sun in a noticeably cooler environment, while enjoying good food.

 

Visit The Cave on the 3 MM of the Niangua or drive to 220 Forever Dr, Camdenton, by land.

 

To Eat

Catfish Poboy

Served on a hoagie with fried catfish, leaf lettuce, local tomato, and tartar sauce, this sandwich is savory and delicious.

 

Caprese Chicken Sandwich

This sandwich features local tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, pesto, balsamic glaze, and a grilled chicken breast, all served on a toasted bun. The thinly sliced grilled chicken pairs beautifully with the herb-a-licious pesto.

 

Shrimp & Grits

A Southern classic brought to the Lake, this entrée includes tender grits topped with grilled shrimp, bell peppers, onions, sweet corn, local cherry tomatoes, andouille sausage, and baby spinach, all seasoned with southern spices. The dish has a bit of a kick, but the creamy grits help balance the heat.

 

To Drink

Coronarita

Can’t decide between beer or a cocktail? This fusion is the best of both worlds.

 

Redhead Rum Punch

This vibrant drink combines Cruzan banana rum and mango rum with orange juice, pineapple juice, and San Pellegrino Sparkling Orange & Pomegranate. It’s fruity with a touch of sparkle and an orange garnish!

 

Frojito

A refreshing take on a classic mojito, this drink blends 1800 coconut tequila, Blue Chair Bay Key Lime Liqueur, mint, and piña colada. It’s minty with a hint of sweetness, making it an ideal choice for a hot summer day.
