WingFest brings many local restaurants together to give them all a chance to prove they can cook up the best chicken wings at the Lake of the Ozarks. The decision will be made by all of you fine folks that join us that evening. Your ticket allows you to eat all the wings you care to eat during the event, plus you get 2 drinks (either soda or beer) and the wonderful entertainment of the talented Cindy Lawhorn. 

If you'd like to purchase your tickets in advance, they are available at all of the Central Bank of the Lake of the Ozarks locations. Proceeds raised from this delicious night out will benefit Lake Area Charities. 

The participating restaurants for this year's WingFest are:

• Wobbly Boots Roadhouse
• H. Toad's Bar & Grill
• HalfSauced Barbeque
• Lodge of Four Seasons
• Pappo's Pizzeria & Pub
• Redhead Yacht Club
• Tuckers' Shuckers Oyster & Tap
• Wicked Willie's Sports Grill 

Why the Boot Should Win
We are, of course, partial to our own tender, mouthwatering, hickory-smoked Wobbly Wings, but we know for a fact that they're popular with others in town too. Our Lake of the Ozarks family restaurant was already honored this year with the Lake Lifestyles "Best of the Lake 2017" award for "Best Chicken Wings." (Plus "Best Ribs,"Friendliest Restaurant," & "Best Server - Jessica Simpson!" Thank you all again for voting us into those positions!) 

Not only do we prepare the chicken wings that we proudly serve 7 days a week with love, care, and the savory smoke of hickory, but we also offer them up to you in 6 delicious ways. First, we coat these jumbo chicken wings in our special house dry rub, then slow-roast them in our hickory pit until they reach the perfect degree of fall-off-the-bone goodness. Then you can choose to eat them:

• PLAIN - Well, these are served without sauce, but they're far from "plain!" This is for those people that don't want that hickory-smoked taste covered by any other flavors. 
• 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-style.
• Teriyaki - Sweet meets heat. Delicious! 
• Trashed - Our smoked wings deep fried before serving. 

Our incredible Wobbly Wings come in orders of 5, 10, 20, or even 30, and they're tasty enough to make a meal out of on their own. They really do pair nicely with many of our other delicious dishes. For example, you may want to try one of these: 

Ribbies & Wings

Two of our most popular items: 4 individual pork spare ribs & 6 Wobbly Wings.

The Wobbly Boots Sampler

Some of the best of what we have to offer! 4 Wobbly Wings, 4 Onion Rings, 4 Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, and 4 Spare Ribs. A mountain of food suitable for a big meal or sharing!

Your Vote Counts!

You are welcome to come into our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant any day of the week and order up a plateful of our savory chicken wings, but we really do hope you have the chance to join us on October 19 for the Lake of the Ozarks WingFest. You get a great night full of awesome food, Lake Area Charities get some much needed funding, and hopefully Wobbly Boots Roadhouse gets your vote for the Best Wings once again! Every vote counts, plus it's a great excuse to have some fun on a Thursday night. See you there! (And bring your appetite!)

Surprise Bartenders At The Boot For Our Can-Am Games Social Event

The Lake of the Ozarks has snagged another exciting event. The Can-Am Police-Fire Games will be taking place all over the lake area in 2018, but Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is bringing a little bit of the excitement to you early on Thursday, April 20, 2017 with a community social event to raise funds and awareness. We'll have a local fireman and/or policemen behind the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks for a couple of hours serving your drinks and collecting those tips.

What Are The Can-Am Games?
These amazing games are put on to promote physical fitness and camaraderie among law enforcement, fire service, EMS, and protective services personnel and agencies. Groups from both Canada and the United States come together to compete in a variety of games.

In 1977, officials from the state police and fire games out of Washington and Oregon joined with a police-fire sports group from Western Canada. They formed an organization that put together a multi-sport event for police officers and fire fighters. This continued on an annual basis until 1996.

The games became so popular and they grew so large, the group reorganized itself and renamed the event the Can-Am Police-Fire Games as a better representation of where the participating athletes were coming from. They even expanded their list of eligible competitors to add emergency responders and protective services, including Emergency Medical Service providers, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, Corrections, and more. A wide range of competitive sports are tackled in these games, including swimming, ice hockey, archery, track & field, softball, and even poker, to name a few.    

Big Excitement For The Lake
In 2018, this exciting 6-day sporting event will be taking place right here at our very own Lake of the Ozarks! As a matter of fact, they've even got us scheduled to host again in 2020! All the more reason to show them some great local hospitality while they are here.

Host cities are required to make their bids for the games up to 5 years in advance so that they are able to see at least 2 year's worth of games in action before hosting their own. As of right now, we are expecting anywhere between 1,000-1,500 participants to compete in 49 different events. These events will take place all over the lake area, including Laurie, Sunrise Beach, Camdenton, Osage Beach, and Lake Ozark, plus a few in Springfield and Lebanon. Any profits made from these games will go to benefit Special Olympics Missouri.  

Join Us At The Boot  
Your favorite BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is doing our part to help bring the Can-Am Police-Fire Games to town by hosting a social event this month. On Thursday, April 20, 2017 we'll have a surprise celebrity bartender mixing drinks alongside one of the Boot's very own bartenders. A local fireman and/or police officer will spend a couple of hours slinging drinks, and all of the tips raised behind the bar during this social will go towards bringing these fantastic games to the lake. Join the rest of the community at Wobbly Boots BBQ for this social and help the efforts to throw the best Can-Am Police-Fire Games that the organization has ever seen.

5 New Year's Resolutions To Attempt In 2017

When a new year rolls around, a lot of people decide to make a fresh start by making a few resolutions. Usually it's some type of self-improvement, and often it's a promise to do more nice things for others. Just in case you need a little bit of inspiration, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has come up with a list of 5 resolutions for you to give a try.   

Meet New People
A great way to expand your horizons is to get to know new people. Everyone has their own story, and you can learn a thing or two just by striking up a conversation with someone new. You can always find a friendly face behind the Wobbly Boots BBQ bar to strike up a conversation with, or swing by during your favorite team's game and get to know a few fellow sports fans. Between our 21 televisions, there's bound to be a great game on. 

Pay It Forward
Imagine what would put a smile on your face, then do that thing for someone else hoping for the same result. It can be an act of kindness that doesn't cost you any more than time, like opening a door for someone. If you have a little extra cash to spend, anonymously send a round of drinks or an appetizer to the table across the room from you. If you strive to do one nice thing a day, or even once a week, before you know it, it will become second nature to you.  

Try Something New
Start small, like trying a brand new food that you've never had before. Our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant can probably help you out with that one. (Unless you've braved the entire menu already!) More than likely you've fallen in love with our mouth-watering, hickory smoked BBQ, but there are a lot of other flavors on our menu that may be new to you. 

For example, our fried Catfish BLT is a flavor combo that will tickle your taste buds, or you can try our grilled Salmon BLT if you prefer that fish. We also serve an amazing Crusty Cuban filled with house pulled pork, pit ham, pickles, house mustard, and Swiss cheese. If you simply can't give up ordering your "regular" when you come in, maybe just order a different side dish than you normally choose. Once you get the small task of trying a new food out of the way, you'll have the confidence to tackle something even bigger and newer to you!  

Quit Smoking
This can be a tough one if you've been a smoker for a long time, but New Year's Day seems to be a popular time to resolve to quit. It's a lot healthier for you, and it's also good for the people around you. (Like those new friends you'll be making this year!) 

Our family friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks can help out with this while you're here. Our place is a non-smoking establishment, so no one else will be lighting up and tempting you. It's a perfect spot to try to quit. 

Take A Trip
The United States is a great big place, and there are many exciting areas to explore. If you already live in the lake area, you don't have to go too far from home at first. Plan a day trip just a few hours away. We hear Clive, Iowa near Des Moines is an interesting town, and the best part is that they have a Wobbly Boots Roadhouse of their own, so you'll feel right at home! 

If instead you live outside of the Lake of the Ozarks, then taking a trip here to us is a must! The summer is the busiest time of year, but you will find fun things to fill your time no matter what season you make the trip. The Boot can entertain you year-round, and our sister restaurants - Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina - not only feed you spring through fall, but also offer some of the best live entertainment and events at the Lake of the Ozarks. An amazing vacation destination!  

Start Your New Year At The Boot!

We've tried to give you a few ideas to get your new year started out on a positive note, and we've also got an incredible idea for the best way to end the current year - with a great big, out-of-this-world, exciting New Year's Eve party at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse! 

This Saturday, December 31, we are hosting the best New Year's Eve party at the Lake of the Ozarks! There is no cover charge at the door, and in addition to our regular menu, we'll be serving a special New Year's Eve selection of deliciousness until 10:00 pm. We'll also be sharing a champagne toast at midnight, and you can enjoy some incredible rock music performed by Hott Mess from 9:30 pm - 1:30 am. Find out more details by checking out last week's blog "A Rockin' New Year's Eve 2017 At The Boot!" We can't wait to party with you and get this new year started out right!

Join Us For The 7th Annual Gala of Trees at the Boot!

Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach has become the new home for one of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks - the Gala of Trees! You don't have to go to the trouble of finding a naked Christmas tree and dragging out your big box of ornaments this year. Instead, purchase a fully decorated one that is already beautiful and ready to display, all while helping out a couple of wonderful local organizations. 

Annual Gala of Trees
Every year since 2010, the lake area has been taking part in this incredible holiday event. It originally took place at Bootleggers Sports Book & Grill, but will be making its debut at Wobbly Boots BBQ for 2016. The restaurant will be filled with completely decorated trees and wreaths, and patrons will be invited to bid on them through a silent auction. The highest bidder at the end of the event will get to take their tree or wreath home to display throughout the holiday season.

You will see a wide variety of unique themes and unusual ornaments at the Gala of Trees. There is sure to be something perfect for everyone, no matter what your holiday decorating style may be. It's a great way to save some time this season, but even better, it's a wonderful way to brighten someone else's holiday at the same time. All of the proceeds collected from the tree and wreath sales are given to Candyland and the Idiot's Club. Both of these organizations use the money to provide toys for lake area children that might not otherwise receive gifts this season.

Thursday, Nov. 17
This 3-day event begins with the Gala of Trees Kickoff Party on Thursday beginning at 5 pm. Tickets are $20 each, and everyone in attendance will enjoy delicious appetizers and soups, one glass of Gala Punch, and the exclusive chance to win the Gala Christmas Wreath that will be given away that very evening at 9 pm. The remaining silent auction trees and wreaths will remain on display for bidders throughout Saturday night.  

Friday & Saturday, Nov. 18-19
All day and night on both Friday and Saturday, everyone is welcome to pay a visit to the best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks and check out these amazing, one-of-a-kind Christmas trees and holiday wreaths. The bidding is open to everyone, and the highest bid at the end of the day on Saturday will be declared the lucky winner. 

To close out this awesome event with real style, we'll have the Barefoot Entertainer himself, Dale Blue, on stage Saturday night. Swing by, order up some dinner, and enjoy the entertainment while we wait to see who lays claim to these great holiday decorations. 

You can help too!
The easiest way to help is by stopping by and making an impressive bid on one or more of the Gala trees. If you would like information about being a sponsor, please contact the event organizer, Christy Janssen, by calling 217-779-2768 or emailing cjanssen1970@gmail.com. Trees and wreaths are provided for you to decorate by Lake Regional Hospital. All you have to do is volunteer to provide the decorations, then put your imagination to work thinking up a design that will have everyone climbing over each other to bid on. 

We can't wait to see the incredible trees and wreaths that everyone comes up with for Wobbly Boots Roadhouse's first time hosting the Gala of Trees. Be sure to mark your calendars now so that you don't miss a minute of the excitement!

5 Reasons Why We LOVE Our Lake of the Ozarks Tourists!

This week, May 2-10, is National Tourism Week, and that has all of us here at Wobbly Boots BBQ thinking about all of the amazing people that we get the chance to meet each new summer season.  Don't misunderstand, we still LOVE our regulars.  They play a huge part in getting the word out to the tourists that Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is the best BBQ Restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks.  People visiting our wonderful town can't help but stop by when they hear how much our local patrons love us.

What makes a tourist someone special?  Well here are 5 reasons why this Lake of the Ozarks restaurant welcomes them with open arms:

1. Tourists help to wake up a hibernating Lake of the Ozarks.
• We all still live, work, and play here over the winter, but when Spring rolls around, specifically around St. Patrick's Day, we start yearning for the lively Summer season.  Tourists bring along a hustle with them that really makes the Lake area feel awake again.
2. Tourists' vacation-vibe spills over to us.
• When we see visitors that are all happy and excited to be on vacation, we can't help but pick up some of those happy, excited vibes ourselves.  Seeing someone enjoy themselves doing what we get to do every day helps us to appreciate it just a little bit more.        
3. Tourists give us a new perspective on our hometown. 
• Living here all of the time, sometimes we forget to see exactly what is in front of us.  It starts blending into the background after a while.  When we get to see a tourist enjoying something that we have started to take for granted, we get a chance to enjoy it all over, seeing it like it's brand new again.   
4. Tourists love to hear why the Lake is special to us.
• There are plenty of things that never get old, even if you do live here year-round.  Tourists LOVE to hear about all of those things that are so fun that we never get tired of them.  The best thing you can do for a visitor is to send them to your favorite places in town (like Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!) so that they can experience the REAL Lake of the Ozarks like we see it.  
5. Tourists expose us to a little of their own hometowns.
• Part of the fun of living in a vacation town is getting the chance to hear about all of the places that our tourists are visiting us from.  Striking up a conversation with a tourist while you are sitting around the bar can lead to a very entertaining evening.  Sometimes, even a brand new friend to keep in touch with.

So, there you have it.  Tourists are a large part of what makes the Lake of the Ozarks a great place to be in the summer.  Locals- take a little time this week to invite someone form out-of-town to visit us.  They are sure to fall in love with the area and come back again and again. Tourists- be sure to let us know where you are visiting from when you stop into Wobbly Boots Roadhouse.  We love experiencing your town through your stories, too.

Dog Days Hosts The Canine Cannonball This Weekend!!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend?? Our sister restaurant, Dog Days Bar and Grill, is hosting the annual Canine Cannonball June 6-8! 

Man's best friend will soar through the air and make a huge splash in competition to see who is the top dog. Canine Cannonball is a DockDogs-sponsored, dock-jumping competition that has been an annual event at the Lake of the Ozarks since 2007. Dog Days Bar & Grill, located at 1232 Jeffries Road on land or at the 19-mile marker on the water, has been the lakeside host of the Cannonball since its inception. This furry aerial competition is a crowd favorite at Dog Days and has attracted an estimated 5,000 spectators on each day of the competition.

"Canine Cannonball is an exciting event for families and dog lovers," said Dog Days owner and event organizer Mark Barrett. "It's outdoors, it's on the Lake, it has a bunch of loveable dogs showing off their athletic abilities and if you like music, bands are playing live at Dog Days. It is the perfect fit for people who are traveling to the Lake and looking for a fun way to spend the weekend."   

The concept of dock jumping as a performance sport for dogs originated in the U.S. when dock workers would bet on how far their dogs could jump into the water. Since 2000, Dock Dogs has been the independent governing and sanctioning body for regional, national and international dock-jumping events for dogs. DockDogs tracks each official jump of all competitors and dogs are ranked nationally. The sport is both serious business and a lot of fun for both dog and owner. Dock-jumping athletes and their owners can sometimes train together for a half hour or more each day in their respective events to hone their skills. 

All Canine Cannonball activities are free for spectators. Money raised at the event through donations will benefit the Dogwood Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter in Osage Beach. The Shelter will also have pets available for adoption on-site during the three-day meet. According to Dogwood Animal Shelter officials, these pets have been given all required shots at the time of adoption. 

Dogs will compete in a couple different categories, including Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve. In between rounds, swing by Wobbly Boots Roadhouse for the BEST BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks!



This is one of the best family friendly events at the Lake of the Ozarks! Whether you're a full-time Lake of the Ozarks resident or you're on vacation, join us for an unforgettable weekend!

Don't forget that we offer the best BBQ catering at the Lake, so we can also bring the party right to your front door. We require a final head count one week prior to the event, so call us today!!
