AquaPalooza 2017 is at Dog Days THIS WEEKEND!

Most weeks we use our blog to tell you all about the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks and all kinds of great subjects that tie in with that. After all, that's what we do best here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach! Occasionally, though, one of our sister restaurants does something so cool we're just too proud of them not to share it. This weekend Dog Days Bar & Grill is hosting the single largest 1-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks - AquaPalooza 2017!

THE DETAILS

Saturday, July 15, 2017

Noon - 5:00 pm

19 MM by water

1232 Jeffries Road, Osage Beach by land

The Concert
AquaPalooza is a great big party attended by thousands every year. How does everyone fit? Not only will the restaurant and bar be packed, but the docks and the cove itself will be filled with hundreds of boats tied up together enjoying the party!

The main event is a giant concert featuring 4 bands on a stage set up facing the lake. Due to this fact, the water directly in front of the stage will also be full of people hanging out, floating, and having an awesome time. This year's musical lineup is impressive, as always!

The Food & Drinks
Dog Days Bar & Grill has an extensive menu full of delicious dishes to please every taste. The appetizer menu features the same Hickory Smoked Wings you've come to love at the Boot, but with some new sauce choices. You'll also find Crab Legs, Nachos, Tacos, Beach Bowls & Pastas, Burgers, Seafood, Steak, Salads, and so much more.

Don't forget about those amazing frozen drinks too! Daiquiris, Margaritas, Pina Coladas, and of course, everyone's favorite Pain in the A**. Add ice cold beer to that, and you've got a wonderful place to eat and drink, plus, it's on the water!

The Fun
Not only will you get to experience an incredible concert at AquaPalooza 2017, but Dog Days Bar & Grill added a brand new swimming pool this year, complete with a swim-up bar. This is in addition to the great deck space, indoor dining area, and the large "Dog Pound" tiki bar too. Plenty of room and excitement to keep you entertained all day long. (They're still adding on more, but that's later this year!)

Save Room For BBQ!
After a long day of fun in the sun, head home, take a quick nap if you need it, then come on over to our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant to replenish your energy with a dinner full of hickory-smoked deliciousness. If you're too wiped out after the event, join us for our all-day Sunday Happy Hour the next day instead. (Better yet, come see us both days!) Complete an awesome weekend right here with us at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse.

Go For The Greens! Wobbly Boots' Savory Salads

As tempting as it may be to enjoy the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks every day for every meal, in reality, you really should mix it up a bit. Getting a healthy dose of greens is very important for your body. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse helps you accomplish this with 4 of the most amazing salads you've ever tasted, and we've even masterfully combined a bit of our hickory-smoked goodness into the recipes.

Why Eat Your Greens?
Eating salad daily is said to be one of the healthiest habits you can pick up. As long as you don't load it with too much dressing or other less-health-conscious ingredients, it's a simple way to get your recommended daily serving of vegetables, along with a few other important health benefits.

Salads are a high-fiber food, and a diet high in fiber can help to lower your cholesterol levels. Fiber can also make a person feel full faster, which means eating less and aiding in weight loss. Depending on the ingredients used to make up your salad of choice, a great variety of antioxidants and vitamins are at your fingertips. The avocado featured in our Cowboy Cobb, for example, is full of "good fat" and helps a body to absorb more of the nutrients found in the other salad ingredients.

Wobbly Boots' Salads
Even though salads are generally thought of as a "light" food choice, don't let that idea steer you away from making one of our savory salads your meal. We load them up with all kinds of delicious ingredients, including our amazing, hickory-smoked meats, so that you not only get a healthy meal, but it will definitely fill you up! Don't worry if that sounds like too much, because a couple of our giant salads are available in half-portions.

Garden Salad
A crisp blend of greens topped with cheddar-jack and provolone cheese, tomatoes, and red onions. Great for a healthy side dish or appetizer.

The Big Salad
A large bowl of mixed greens topped with tomatoes, red onion, cheddar-jack and provolone cheese, and your choice of a delicious meat topping. Meat choices include: fried or grilled chicken, fried or grilled buffalo chicken, hand-pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey breast, pit ham, or burnt ends.

Smoked Salmon Salad
A bed of crisp greens topped with our house-smoked salmon, hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, and red onions.

Cowboy Cobb
Better known around these parts as "The King of Salads!" A platter of crisp greens, generously topped with smoked ham & turkey, crumbled bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar-jack and provolone cheese.

Sandwich & Soup/Salad Combos
If you want salad but that's simply not enough, one of these combinations may be just what you're looking for. It includes your choice of 2:

Crisp Garden Salad
Bowl of Soup (Baked Potato Soup or Soup of the Day)
Sandwich (Turkey & Swiss Melt, Ham & Swiss Melt, or a 4-Cheese Grilled Cheese)

Salad orders come with your choice of dressing, including: Ranch, Fat-Free Ranch, Bleu Cheese, Honey Mustard, French, 1000 Island, Italian, Balsamic, or Chipotle Ranch.

When you eat at our family BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, you can have it all! Healthy ingredients, your daily dose of greens, a filling meal, and our mouthwatering, hickory-smoked meats, all in one dish! Our diverse menu is filled with all sorts of wonderful items, so no matter what you're in the mood for, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has something you're going to love.

The Best Black Angus Burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks!

If you're craving the best burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks, then you need to head on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach. Not only do we offer the best burgers at the Lake, we boast the best Black Angus Burgers you'll find anywhere in the Midwest!

We don't just do great BBQ. We put every bit as much care and attention into the rest of our delicious menu as we do our amazing hickory-smoked meats. One area in particular that we excel in flavor is in our wide selection of Black Angus Burgers. What makes ours so special? Well...

Our Burger "Secret"
We only use 100% Black Angus ground chuck, which happens to be made from the tastiest, most tender cut of beef available. Each burger is made by hand to ensure that every one served meets our high standards of size and shape. After it is perfectly formed, we cook it on a flat-top iron and serve it up on a fresh, kaiser bun.

These incredible burgers are mouth-watering enough to satisfy any hunger just as described above, but here at Wobbly Boots BBQ, we always go above and beyond the standards of great taste! The talented chefs in our kitchen came up with some unbelievable combinations of toppings to make our burgers even more irresistible.

Farm Boy Burger
A juicy, flavorful classic, cooked the way you like it!

El Diablo Burger
A real mouth-burner! Topped with ghost pepper cheese, bacon, jalapenos, and our zesty 6-pepper sauce.

Hickory Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger
Now that's a mouthful! A half-pound burger topped with our house recipe BBQ sauce, hickory-smoked bacon, and good old American cheese.

Patty Melt
Our famous burger topped with sauteed onions and Swiss cheese, served on grilled marbled rye bread.

Beale Street Burger
Our tribute to the South! Topped with hickory-smoked pulled pork & creamy cole slaw.

Black & Bleu Burger
Our famous Farm Boy Burger spiced up with Cajun seasoning and topped with bleu cheese crumbles.

Ham, Mushroom, & Swiss Burger
This time we top our Farm Boy Burger with pit ham, sauteed mushrooms, and Swiss cheese.

*BURGER OF THE WEEK*
Each time you come into the Boot, be sure to ask your server what special burger we're featuring that week!

Create Your Own
As creative as the cooks are in our kitchen, we realize that sometimes the only one who knows exactly what you want is... you! When that's the case, you can order up your favorite Black Angus Burger, then add any of the following toppings that your heart (or hunger) desires.

Cheese:

American
Provolone
Swiss
Cheddar-Jack
Ghost Pepper
Pepper Jack
Bleu Cheese Crumbles

Sauteed Mushrooms
Sauteed Onions
Sauteed Green Peppers
Bacon

What'll it be?
Which one of those amazing Black Angus Burgers is making your mouth water the most? Be sure you come in to our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant hungry, because every one of those delicious burgers also comes with one of our home style side dishes. Why slave over a hot grill in the midst of the summer heat? Instead, come on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse and let us do the cooking for you. We promise, you'll be thrilled that you did!

How To Pack The Perfect BBQ Picnic Basket

The weather has been so beautiful lately, you may hate the idea of having to come indoors to eat. Good news, because the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks actually travels well. With the proper packing techniques, you can enjoy your favorite Wobbly Boots Roadhouse BBQ and the amazing spring weather outside at the same time!

BBQ is a great picnic food, and picking it up at Wobbly Boots to go means you don't have to bother with any of the cooking. You can simply enjoy the afternoon outside with everyone else instead of standing at that hot grill.

The most important thing to take care of when you picnic is the food safety. Hot foods need to be kept hot, and cold foods cold. Insulated coolers can handle both of those tasks.

COLD FOODS
Traveling with cold foods, like cole slaw or potato salad (which we sell both of in bulk for larger groups) is easy. You can use sealed containers and ice, but to make sure that ice doesn't melt and leak into the food, you might want to use ice packs instead.

An even better idea is to freeze water bottles and use those for your ice packs. They take up more space to keep the food in place inside the cooler, plus, once they melt you have cold water to drink.

HOT FOODS
Hot foods can take a little more work to pack if you won't be eating them right away. You'll want to pack it into your cooler as soon as soon as you pick up your order. Wrapping the containers in aluminum foil can help to keep the heat in longer. Microwavable hot packs are another great source of heat for keeping our delicious, hickory-smoked meats and home style side dishes warm and ready to eat.

The more insulation, the better for keeping all of that warmth inside the cooler and around your food. Wrapping the food, along with a hot pack, inside a towel traps in heat. If there is extra space inside the "hot" cooler, you can use more rolled up towels to keep everything in place. Keep the lid closed until serving time, and open it as little as possible.

LEFTOVERS
If there's any food left after everyone has had their fill, pack it back up as soon as you're done. Try to not leave food out for more than 1 hour. It is suggested that anything left out for more than 2 hours should be thrown away. (But hey, with BBQ this good, there probably won't be anything left to pack away!)

Go ahead and keep the cold and warm foods separated so that the warm items don't add any heat to the things that are already cold. Keep the coolers in a shaded area, out of direct sunlight until you are ready to head back home.

After a wonderful lunch full of the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, you may want to get back to the air conditioning and cool off. That's when you can swing back by Wobbly Boots Roadhouse and join us for an ice cold drink and maybe even catch a game. We're always here for you, 7 days a week, all year long, no matter what the season.
