How to Have a Fantastic 4th of July Meal at the Lake of the Ozarks

The 4th of July is a great time to gather with family and friends, get outdoors, and enjoy the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. You don't have to mess with cooking that BBQ though. Instead, give us a call, let us know what you need, and pick up your food at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach. There are lots of ways to do this. Here are a few. 

Pack a Picnic

A 4th of July picnic is a wonderful idea. You provide the picnic basket and we'll provide the delicious dishes to pack inside it! Simply give us a call with your to-go order and the time that you want to pick it up. We'll have your food hot and ready for you when you come in. You can take your order to the picnic table of your choice in town and enjoy a meal full of flavor with no work on your part. (Except, of course, packing it perfectly into that basket!) 

Throw a Party
If you want to celebrate the 4th of July with more than just your immediate family or closest friends, we can take care of the cooking for your big event with the best catering at the Lake of the Ozarks. We offer a number of hickory-smoked meat selections in bulk, as well as the savory homestyle side dishes to go along with them. 

Not only can you get amazing BBQ for your party, but we are a part of the Barrett Restaurant Group, meaning you also have the talents of the chefs from Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge at your disposal. If you don't see exactly what you want on our catering menu, we are happy to service special requests when possible. Just let us know what you need and we'll do our best to make it happen.

Join Us at the Boot

If the weather is simply too hot, or (heaven forbid) this Independence Day is a rainy one, join us indoors at our Lake of the Ozarks family BBQ restaurant instead. With the 4th of July happening on a Wednesday this year, we're ready to keep the celebration happening all week long!

A Mountain of Food - The Wobbly Boots Sampler!

There is an enormous amount of delicious food to choose from on the menu at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant. Sometimes it can be extremely difficult to narrow down which dish you want to order. One menu item that allows you to get a taste of not one but FOUR of our amazing food choices is the Wobbly Boots Roadhouse Sampler.

Even though it's listed in the appetizer section, if you tackle this plate on your own it's more than enough for a full meal! It's also a great choice if you'll be sharing with a few friends. Here is a look at all of the mouthwatering treats you get when you order our Wobbly Boots Sampler. 

Wobbly Wings
Wobbly Wings are most definitely one of the most popular items on our menu, and with the Wobbly Boots Sampler, you get 4 of them. One thing that makes our wings so very tasty is the fact that they are smoked rather than fried. (Except for the "Trashed" Wings, which get a dose of both!)

First, we take jumbo chicken wings and then we coat them in our house dry rub. Next, they are slow-roasted over hickory, ensuring only the most flavorful, juiciest wings possible. The flavor is incredible, even if the wings are served plain, but if you are in the mood for sauce, you can pick from these:

• BBQ - Our house-recipe sauce. A great addition to anything!
• Original – A mustard-based sauce like no other. Try it, you'll be hooked. 
• Chipotle Buffalo – Our version of traditional Buffalo.
• Teriyaki – Sweet meets heat. Delicious!
• Trashed – Our smoked wings deep-fried before serving. 

Spare Ribs
When you dine at a BBQ joint, you really should give their ribs a try. Here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, you'll certainly be glad when you do! The 4 Spare Ribs on our sampler are very likely to make you crave an entire dinner featuring this incredible hickory-smoked meat! 

We prepare them for the smoker by adding our special dry rub. Once they're done in there, they are lightly grilled and basted in our house-recipe BBQ sauce before being added to the plate. They are tender, mouthwatering, and the very best in ribs!

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Another extremely popular item from the appetizer menu is our Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. They are small treats with GREAT BIG flavor! 4 large gulf shrimp are each individually wrapped in our hickory-smoked bacon. Once that is done, they are grilled to perfection. Delish!

Famous Onion Rings
This dish normally comes on a plate as a full or half-order appetizer, or sometimes people upgrade their side dish for dinner to include these crispy treats. On the Wobbly Boots Sampler, you will get 4 of our amazing onion rings made from thick-cut yellow onions. We bathe them in buttermilk, then hand-bread each in our seasoned flour and fry them to a golden brown. The chipotle ranch dipping sauce is great for dipping!

So, are you ready to give the Wobbly Boots Sampler a try? It's a wonderful introduction to a few of the tastiest menu items at our family restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, and this mountain of food is suitable both for a BIG meal or for sharing. You can't go wrong when you order 4 foods in just 1 dish, but of course, no matter what you choose to order from Wobbly Boots BBQ, it's going to be a delicious decision.

Kyle Wallace Creates Delicious Desserts of the Week at the Boot!

People usually come to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach for the sole purpose of dining on the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our plates are extremely hearty and filling, which is awesome unless you were trying to save room for dessert! 

We've got quite a few delicious dessert options available daily at Wobbly Boots BBQ, but as an added incentive for you to save room for dessert, we've started featuring a specialty Dessert of the Week too. These sweet treats created by our very own Kyle Wallace taste so amazing, you will either want to take part of your meal home in a doggy bag or possibly even order dessert first to make sure you have enough room for it!

The Talented Kyle Wallace
A while back, Brian Barrett asked Kyle how he felt about possibly incorporating a dessert of the week at the Boot. Many people over the years have raved about Kyle's Bread Pudding, stating it was some of the best they had ever tasted. 

The recipe for it had been handed down from his grandmother. That recipe inspired Kyle, and he continued to toy with creating delicious dessert recipes of his own. This made him the ideal person for the job of coming up with specialty desserts for our Lake of the Ozarks family restaurant. 

Kyle was born and raised in the lake area, and he began working for the Barrett Restaurant Group about 6 years ago. He currently works in the kitchens of both Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. 

In the past, he has made mouthwatering desserts like his grandmother's Bread Pudding, as well as different variations on that tasty treat like his Blueberry Cake Bread Pudding. He has also created amazing desserts that include Carrot Cake, Peanut Butter Pie, and a wide variety of Cheesecakes. There is even a Chocolate Mayonaise Cake, which may sound strange, but is one of the best things you will ever have the joy of tasting! 

That Amazing Bread Pudding
That incredible Bread Pudding that Kyle's grandmother shared her recipe for receives multiple compliments each time that it is served. It is made with several eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and baguettes. It is cooked in a 350-degree oven for about 45 minutes and then covered with an icing made from butter, sugar, and a bit of rum.

Save Room For Dessert
Each week at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse we will feature a homemade dessert created by Kyle that is equally as delicious as that Bread Pudding along with our regular dessert menu. Those menus can be found on each table or at the bar and include choices like Hershey's Chocolate Cobbler, Rustic Apple Tart, Root Beer Floats, Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Pie, Red Velvet Cheesecake, and Salted Caramel or Premium Vanilla Ice Cream. 

Kyle has some fantastic ideas for desserts he would like to make in the future. Some of these include French Silk Cake and German Chocolate Cheesecake. He has even talked about dabbling with some creative homemade ice creams. He says that he loves a challenge, so there's a possibility that we may open up the chance for our customers to make some special requests in the future. (Start thinking up some sweet ideas now!) 

The next time that you are craving something sweet, head on over to the Boot for the best desserts at the Lake of the Ozarks. As amazing as all of Kyle's creations have tasted so far, pretty soon those sweet treats just may be as big of a draw as the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks! Take our word for it, with proper meal planning, you can definitely make room for both!
