Add the Taste of the Lake of the Ozarks to All of Your Holiday Gatherings

The "Holiday Season" is upon us, which means it's time to get the details nailed down about the entertaining you'll be doing over the next few weeks. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has an excellent suggestion for making that planning a lot easier - hire the best caterers at the Lake of the Ozarks to handle the cooking! As a matter of fact, we can even do more than just the food for you! 



Recipes from 3 Popular Restaurants
Our catering services are powered by the Barrett Restaurant Group, which brings the culinary genius of three diverse Lake of the Ozarks restaurants to you. These include Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, Dog Days Bar & Grill, and Shorty Pants Lounge. You may request menu items featuring hickory-smoked BBQ, savory salads, succulent seafood, amazing Cajun cooking, awesome appetizers, and a whole lot more! 

We can custom-design menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, receptions, holiday parties, seminar breaks, and more. We are also able to handle any size event, both large and small.



Rent Our Event Rooms
Private rooms are available at all three restaurants for your event. (Yes, arrangements can even be made to host winter events at the seasonal venues!) All restaurants also give you access to our fully stocked bars.  

Our private event space at the Lake of the Ozarks inside Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has a cozy fireplace, TVs, and can be closed off from the rest of the restaurant. Both Dog Days and Shorty Pants have luxurious waterfront vacation house rentals available next door to them. Dog Days also has a stage and dance floor available for use and we can help you book the entertainment. 



Grab Food To Go
For small gatherings at home or at the office, consider ordering food from Wobbly Boots Roadhouse to go. This is also a great idea if you are attending a potluck and only in charge of one dish. 

The Boot is open year-round, so even beyond this holiday season, you can order food to go any time of the year for all of your parties and events. You can choose from anything on our regular menu or in the case of our hickory-smoked meats and savory side dishes, you can "buy in bulk" to feed a crowd.

Let Us Bring It All To You
Of course, if you're planning an event that needs too much food for you to carry it all home, we can deliver it! Arrangements can be made to have us load up the catering vans and bring all that deliciousness directly to you. All catering jobs are booked on a first-come, first-served basis so be sure to reserve your date early before someone else gets to it first!

The holidays are a special time which can be made even more special by adding the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks (or delicious dishes inspired by one of our sister restaurants) to the festivities.

Hey Lake of the Ozarks, We've Got Smoked Thanksgiving Turkeys at the Boot!

Cooking up the perfect Thanksgiving turkey is probably the hardest part about the Thanksgiving holiday. Take that pressure off of yourself and let Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach cook up a tender, juicy, mouthwatering, hickory-smoked turkey for you and the gang this year! Then you can put your focus into those side dishes, unless you'd rather have the best caterers at the Lake of the Ozarks handle those for you too. (We totally can!)  



Hickory-Smoked Turkey
Over the years we've managed to master the perfect cooking times for all of the best hickory-smoked meats at the Lake of the Ozarks, including turkey. You can either bring one in for us to cook or simply make the order and pick up one of ours instead. 

If you already have a turkey and you just need for us to put it into the Wobbly Boots smoker, we are happy to do that for $1 per pound. An even easier route is to let us provide the turkey. Those are $50 and that way, all you have to do is order it and pick it up when it's ready! 

Either way you decide to have us smoke your turkey this year, call 573-348-2277 now to make arrangements so we will have plenty of time to get your bird cooked. Also, if you'd like us to provide a few of our homestyle side dishes for your meal, that can also be arranged!   



Holiday Parties Beyond Thanksgiving
Once Thanksgiving has come and gone, the holiday season will be in full swing. That means parties, family gatherings, and all kinds of big group activities where you will need to feed a hungry bunch of people. 

The Barrett Restaurant Group, which is made up of the talented culinary geniuses of Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, Dog Days Bar & Grill, and Shorty Pants Lounge, can create a menu that will have all of your guests fully fed and deliciously satisfied.  



In addition to the types of cuisine each of those restaurants is known for, our experienced staff can help you to create a customized menu for any type of special event as well. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or break time, just tell us what you'd like to serve and we'll do our very best to make it happen. 

No event is too big and likewise, no event is too small either! You can order food to go and pick it up yourself or in many cases, we can load up the Wobbly Boots van and deliver it directly to you. Call us at 573-348-2277 at least one week prior to your event so that arrangements can be made.  



All of our catering is done on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you already have a date set, call and reserve it as soon as possible. There are only so many days between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day and quite a lot of people that would love to have Wobbly Boots BBQ at their event! The sooner you get on our catering calendar, the sooner you can start letting everyone know that the food at your party is going to be irresistible!

Jackson Family Wines
Our featured wines this month come from a family-owned wine company based out of Santa Rosa, California. Their portfolio includes brands from vineyards and wineries in California, Oregon, the Bordeaux region of France, Tuscany, Italy, Australia, Chile, and South Africa. Holding over 30,000 acres in the United States, Jackson Family Wines is the largest owner of coastal vineyards in California and Oregon and they are considered one of the world's largest wine producers.  

It all started in 1974 when Jess Jackson bought an 80-acre orchard in Northern California to plant grapes for winemaking. The business was founded in 1982 and its first vintage of Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay was released in 1983. This particular wine won the first Double Platinum Award in the American Wine Competition! 

From that beginning, they now offer a large variety of amazing wines, have branched out across the world, and have won numerous awards in the process. You already know that Chef McGowan's dishes are irresistible. These wines will make the dining experience even more incredible!

A special Gala Kick-Off Party will take place on opening night beginning at 5:30 pm. Tickets for this private event are $20 each and available for purchase right now at Wobbly Boots BBQ. Everyone attending will receive one glass of Gala Punch, a delicious buffet, and the chance to win a special Gala Christmas Wreath that will be given away that evening at 8:00 pm.

Get Ready for the 11th Annual Gala of Trees at the Lake of the Ozarks

We realize that there are some people out there that prefer to focus on Thanksgiving before decorating for Christmas. The 11th Annual Gala of Trees is a great reason to make an exception! 



This beautiful Lake of the Ozarks annual event gets everyone into the spirit of the season, lets you pick up amazing holiday decor for your home, plus benefits some wonderful local organizations. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is proud to be the home for this gorgeous celebration!  

4 Days of Holiday Beauty
The 2019 Gala of Trees at the Lake of the Ozarks will take place November 20-23. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse will be completely filled with beautifully decorated trees and wreaths. This holiday decor can be bid on, silent auction-style, throughout the event. We host the Gala of Trees before Thanksgiving so that you can have your winnings in time to "deck the halls" at your place! 



All proceeds from the tree and wreath sales will be given to Candyland and The Idiot's Club to purchase toys for local children. In 2018, we were able to raise a whopping $20,015.86! 

You can come in anytime during the regular hours at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant to place your bids. Local businesses and organizations have filled these decorations not only with holiday decor but also additional surprises like wine bottles, coupons, event tickets, gift cards, and more! In addition to the silent auction, we've also got a couple of special evenings planned for you as well. 



Gala Kick-Off Party
You can begin bidding on Wednesday, November 20 when we open at 11:00 am. That evening the restaurant will be closed for a private Gala Kick-Off Party beginning at 5:30 pm and you're invited! 

Tickets for the Gala Kick-Off Party are $20 each. This price includes a buffet, one glass of Gala Punch, and a chance to win a special Gala Christmas Wreath that will be given away that evening at 8:00 pm. 



Cans For Christmas
Toys aren't the only items needed over the holidays. Local food pantries often need help restocking their shelves too. 

For that reason, all day long on Friday, November 22, we'll be collecting donations for the local food pantry in conjunction with the Gala of Trees. When you bring in just 5 non-perishable food items to donate, Wobbly Boots will give you half-off one of our delicious appetizers! (One per person)  



Silent Auction Ends & Live Auction Begins
At 8:00 pm on Saturday, November 23, the silent auction will officially close so that the winners can claim their decorations. That's not your last chance to take home something awesome though!

Immediately after the silent auction closes, we'll begin a live auction for even more terrific stuff that you won't want to miss! You might even be able to get some early holiday shopping out of the way. Better make plans right now to spend that entire Saturday night hanging out with us at Wobbly Boots BBQ!



Don't Miss Our Next Fireside Chat  
The night before the Gala of Trees, on Tuesday, November 19, 2019, Wobbly Boots will be hosting another one of our gourmet Fireside Chat Pairing Dinners! This month, instead of pairing Chef McCowan's mouthwatering courses with elite whiskeys, we'll be pairing them with wines! 

This will be the first wine dinner we've hosted and we've got a lot of people that are very excited about it. You might want to reserve your spot early before they're all gone! The dinner is $60 per person and is an evening any foodie and/or wine-lover will not want to miss. 



That's going to be a very exciting week at our BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. Mark your calendars right now so you don't miss a moment of the fun and make sure to tell all of your friends to meet you at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse for the celebration too.

Savory Homestyle Side Dishes Complete an Already Delicious Meal

At mealtime, the main dish is extremely important but an incredible side dish can take that meal to a whole new level. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach cooks up the most savory homestyle side dishes daily to pair perfectly with the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks



So Many Side Dishes
Our Lake of the Ozarks family BBQ restaurant has 10 amazing, out-of-this-world homestyle side dishes that are available to enjoy with just about every dish on the menu. One might think that's more than enough, but not us! In addition to those tasty choices, we've also got 10 more premium side dishes that can be substituted for a small additional charge. 




  • Homestyle Side Dishes
    • Thick Cut Fries
    • Legendary Baked Beans
    • Gourmet Potato Salad
    • Cheesy Corn w/ Ham
    • Green Beans w/ Bacon
    • Smashed Potatoes & Gravy
    • Creamy Coleslaw
    • Cottage Cheese
    • Mac & Cheese Cup
    • Applesauce
  • Premium Side Dishes
    • Sweet Potato Fries
    • Baked Potato
    • Spring Green Beans
    • Mac & Cheese Boat
    • Cup of Soup
    • Texas Fries
    • Fried Pickles
    • Garden Salad
    • Bowl of Soup
    • 1/2-Order of Onion Rings


Buy 'em in Bulk
You can get a single helping of our side dishes when you dine in at the Boot. Another option is to get a great big helping of those irresistible side dishes by picking up a pint or a quart to feed the entire gang back home. (Or... maybe you just want to keep 'em in the fridge and have a serving with each of your meals for the next few days!) 

Wobbly Boots is also known as one of the best caterers at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our bulk side dishes are exactly what you need to keep your guests full and satisfied. Order up a few along with a couple of hickory-smoked meat platters and you've got the makings of a party people will be talking about for a long time! 

It's fall right now, which means holiday parties are just around the corner. Save yourself some time and a lot of stress by letting the expert chefs at Wobbly Boots BBQ take over the cooking for you! 



Sides for Dinner
A few of our side dishes are perfect for a light lunch or dinner as well. That creamy, mouthwatering Mac & Cheese is one of the most popular dishes on our kids' menu. A garden salad and soup (either the Soup of the Day or our Baked Potato Soup) make an excellent combo meal when paired together. 

Our Loaded Bakers take a regular baked potato and turn it into something that will satisfy any appetite. It's filled with cheddar-jack cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and one of our hickory-smoked meats. It's kind of like one of the side dishes "ate" a main dish!



Everyone knows that the best hickory-smoked meats at the Lake of the Ozarks bring people flocking to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse every single day. Many may not realize that our savory homestyle side dishes are a big people-pleaser as well. No matter what you decide to order, we'll make sure every bite on your plate is mouthwatering and delicious!
