May is Not Only BBQ Month, But Burger Month & Salad Month Too!

Last week we told you how to best celebrate National BBQ Month with the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. This week, our blog is full of even more spring deliciousness! It turns out that May is also the month set aside to observe the tastiness of burgers and salads. We're not sure why all of these foods share the same month, but we do know that you can get the best of every one of them right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!



Black Angus Burgers
It's easy to claim you have the best burgers in the Midwest when you make them the way we do here at the Boot! 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 formed by hand to ensure that every single 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. Check out the tasty options we've created for you. 


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

El Diablo Burger
A real mouth burner! It's topped with ghost pepper cheese, bacon, jalapenos, and our zesty 6-Pepper sauce.

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

Beale Street Burger
Our tribute to the South! This burger is topped with pulled pork & creamy cole slaw. 

Ham, Mushroom, Swiss Burger
Our famous Farm Boy burger topped with pit ham, sauteed mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. 

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. 


Burger of the Week
Please ask your server about the specialty Burger of the Week each time you come in. 

You may also build your own burger with the following toppings:
  • Cheeses: American, Swiss, Cheddar-Jack, Ghost-Pepper, & Pepper Jack
  • Bleu Cheese Crumbles
  • Sauteed Mushrooms
  • Sauteed Onions
  • Sauteed Green Peppers
  • Bacon

Hearty, Fresh Salads  
When you "go for the greens" at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant, you'd better be ready for a salad that's hearty enough to conquer even the biggest appetite! We start with fresh, crisp greens as a base, then add tasty ingredients on top of that and, in many cases, a few of our mouthwatering, hickory-smoked meats too! Each of our salads is a healthy meal that won't leave you hungry. 



The Big Salad
This salad is so big, we also offer it in a half portion! Add your choice of a delicious meat topping (fried or grilled chicken, fried or grilled Buffalo chicken, hand-pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey breast, pit ham, or burnt ends) to a large bowl of mixed greens topped with tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar-jack & provolone cheeses. Grilled or fried shrimp or smoked salmon are also available for an additional charge. 

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

Cowboy Cobb
aka - 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 & provolone cheeses. This salad is also available as a half portion.   

We have the following dressings available: Ranch, Fat-Free Ranch, Bleu Cheese, Honey Mustard, French, 1,000 Island, Italian, Balsamic, and Chipotle Ranch. You may also add avocado or a hard-boiled egg to any salad for a small additional charge.  



May celebrates a lot of different food favorites (BBQ, burgers, and salads) and no matter which one you're in the mood for, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach can satisfy the craving!

Celebrate National BBQ Month with the Best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks!

May is an incredible month. The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming and trees are budding, and it also happens to be National BBQ Month! (May had us at BBQ!!!) As you might imagine, that's a pretty exciting thing for our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant to celebrate, because BBQ is what we're all about. Here are a few reasons why you should join us for the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks to celebrate. 



Hickory-Smoked Goodness
For over 20 years, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse's BBQ recipes have been piling up awards, as well as happy, dedicated, return customers. Our unique "hybrid style" of BBQ got its inspiration from the BBQ meccas of the U.S.A. - Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, and Texas! We combined their mouthwatering styles and created a taste that gives you the best BBQ in the Midwest.   

First of all, we slow-smoke our succulent meats over hickory, which allows the incredible flavors of each type of meat to come through boldly. Next, we coat those meats (or serve them with a side of) our flavorful, house-made BBQ sauce. The end result is a plate full of hickory-smoked BBQ goodness that keeps you coming back for more again and again!   



LOTS of Choices
You'll find our hickory-smoked meats used as an ingredient in many dishes throughout our menu, but the stars of the show this month are our award-winning Bar-B-Que sandwiches and meat plates. We have a wide variety of meats that you can order on a bun, or you can instead build a plate with 1, 2, or 3 different types of meat. Those choices include:

  • Pit Ham
  • Hand-Pulled Pork
  • Beef Brisket
  • Burnt Ends
  • Turkey Breast
  • Smoked Sausage
In addition to those tasty treats, we also serve some "Bad to the Bone BBQ" dinners as well. These plates will have you licking your lips, and also your fingers once you're finished. 
  • Baby Back Ribs
  • Classic Pork Spare Ribs
  • Hickory Smoked 1/2 Chicken
  • BBQ Chicken & Ribs Combo


Eat Here or Get It To Go
Our Lake of the Ozarks family restaurant offers a down-home family-friendly atmosphere, and we've got plenty of seating for groups of every size. With the weather getting nicer day by day and all of the wonderful outdoor spots to enjoy at the lake, we totally understand if you want to make a to-go order and head to a park with it, or even your own backyard. 

If you happen to be entertaining a large group, or possibly throwing your own celebration for National BBQ Month, you can take advantage of our catering options too. In many cases, with advance notice, we can even load up our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse catering van and bring the food to you!  



At some point this month, we highly encourage you to make your way to Wobbly Boots BBQ in Osage Beach and give our hickory-smoked meats and house-recipe BBQ sauce a try. We're willing to bet that once you do, we'll be seeing a lot more of you in the future!

Celebrate Prime Rib Day at the Lake of the Ozarks With Us at the Boot

Prime rib is one of the most savory, juicy, and flavorful cuts of meat you can get from a cow. Friday, April 26 happens to be National Prime Rib Day, and the perfect place to celebrate is at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant. We serve up the most delicious, hickory-smoked prime rib at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in a variety of ways, all made to make your mouth water and your taste buds tingle! 



Why Is Prime Rib So Good?
This particular cut of beef is sometimes referred to as a standing rib roast, and it's the finest cut of beef you will find. It is cut from the primal rib, one of the eight primal cuts of beef. The amount of marbling found on prime rib makes a big difference in the quality. The more fat that is woven throughout a particular cut, the more tender and juicy the final product will taste. 

Prime Rib Dinner at the Boot
We take great care in the way we prepare prime rib at Wobbly Boots BBQ. Every piece is hand-cut, perfectly seasoned, and slow-smoked to perfection. Our prime rib dinners are so special, as a matter of fact, that they are only available every Friday & Saturday night after 5 pm. We serve it in either a 10-oz, 14-oz, or 18-oz cut, and the dinner comes with a great big slice of Texas toast and your choice of one of our amazing homestyle side dishes. 



Beyond the Steak Dinner
While our Prime Rib Dinners are reserved for the weekend, we have a wonderful variety of menu items that contain mouthwatering shaved prime rib as the main ingredient. These incredible dishes are available for lunch and dinner 7 days a week at the Boot.  



Prime Rib Hot Beef
Shaved prime rib served with smashed potatoes, beef gravy, and green beans. 

Prime Rib French Dip
Thin-shaved smoked prime rib and melted Swiss cheese on French bread served with a side of au jus. 

6-Pepper Steak Po Boy
Thin-shaved smoked prime rib and melted Swiss cheese smothered in our zesty 6-pepper hot sauce. 

Prime Rib Melt
Succulent, house-smoked shaved prime rib topped with Swiss on grilled sourdough bread, served with our house-made horsey sauce on the side for an extra kick! 



What'll It Be? 
National Prime Rib Day is the perfect time to indulge in one of these hickory-smoked delicacies from our BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, but if you're not able to stop by this Friday, feel free to come in any day of the week! Even better, come in a few times each week and try a new Wobbly Boots Roadhouse menu item every visit. It's a delicious way to spend a mealtime.

The Best Appetizers at the Lake of the Ozarks Are at the Boot!

Appetizers are an amazing food. They can be the opening act for your delicious dinner of the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, they can be a perfectly sized snack between meals, an excellent thing to munch on while you watch the game, and some appetizers can even be a meal on their own, if you don't feel like sharing with the rest of the table! 



Many of the appetizers on the Wobbly Boots Roadhouse menu have the added benefit of featuring some of those mouthwatering hickory-smoked meats we slow-roast daily. Check out what we've got waiting for you on our appetizer menu, but be warned, reading this is going to make you very hungry! 

Wobbly Wings
Juicy, jumbo chicken wings coated in our house dry rub and then slow-roasted in our hickory pit. Each order is served with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing, and you can order the wings plain, in all of their hickory-smoked goodness, or with one of the following incredible sauces. 
  • BBQ - Our house recipe sauce. A great addition to anything!
  • Original - A mustard-based sauce like no other. Try it, you'll be hooked.

Fried Pickles
A half-pound of pickle chips hand-breaded in our special seasoned flour and fried to a golden brown, served with chipotle ranch.

Smoked chicken breast mixed in a buffalo cream cheese dip topped with Provel cheese and baked to a golden brown, served with tri-colored tortilla chips. 

Chicken Tenders
Fresh chicken tenders, hand-breaded and cooked to a golden brown, served traditional or tossed in one of our wing sauces. 

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
A bountiful blend of blue crab meat, cream cheese, cheddar-jack cheese, and special seasoning stuffed in large mushroom caps and topped with Provel cheese, then baked to a golden brown. 



Cajun Dusted Shrimp
6 juicy gulf shrimp coated in spicy Cajun seasoning and sauteed in a white wine butter sauce.

Seasoned curly fries smothered in spicy queso cheese, bacon, green onions, and cheddar-jack cheese, served with a side of jalapenos.

3 Excellent Reasons to Enjoy an Ice-Cold Beer at the Boot This Weekend!

There's something indescribably delicious about washing down the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks with an ice-cold beer. Most people don't need any more reason to make that happen other than it sounds, and tastes, great. If you need a little more incentive to get off the couch and get yourself to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse to enjoy one of our 21 beers on tap, then this is the weekend you've been waiting for! 



Friday is New Beer's Eve
April 6th is the unofficial holiday celebrated by beer-lovers everywhere to commemorate the night before beer could once again be sold legally after the repeal of Prohibition. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 23, 1933, followed by his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer." 

He, along with everyone else, had to wait until April 7, 1933, before this was legally allowed. On the night before, April 6, lines of anxious people began forming outside of breweries and taverns, eagerly awaiting the stroke of midnight when they could buy a beer for the first time (legally) in over 13 years. Luckily, today we don't have to wait for midnight. We can celebrate this important moment in American history all day long!   



Saturday is National Beer Day
Saturday the celebration continues! Since April 7th was the official day when beer could once again be purchased, this date is now a holiday celebrated all across the United States. Beleive it or not, it took until 2009 before someone had the good sense to bring some attention to the date. 

National Beer Day was first created by Justin Smith of Richmond, VA only 9 years ago in 2009. Smith's friend convinced him to dedicate a Facebook page to the day, and that page was noticed by Colorado Beer Examiner, Eli Shayotovich. After Smith began promoting the day on various social media outlets, his efforts were rewarded with the beer drinking app "Untapped" creating a badge especially for National Beer Day. #NationalBeerDay has been trending ever since. 

The holiday was officially recognized by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in 2017, as well as on the Congressional Record by Congressman Dave Brat that same year. Just this year, in 2018, House Joint Resolution 90 was introduced in Virginia General Assembly to officially recognize National Beer Day in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It took a while, but now you can come into the Boot and celebrate this old/new holiday here with us!     



Sunday is Happy Hour ALL DAY
Since you've been celebrating the freedom to buy this delicious drink most of the weekend already, we're going to finish big with our weekly all-day Sunday Happy Hour at Wobbly Boots BBQ! Drink discounts include our incredible variety of 21 beers on tap, as well as well drinks and wine.

5 Reasons You Should Eat BBQ For Dinner (or Lunch!)

"What's for dinner?" is a question you ask yourself daily, and when there's a group of people involved in the decision, it can be very difficult to all agree on the same thing. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach believes that the answer to that question should always be "the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks!" but of course, we may be a bit partial. Still, after you read the following reasons, we know you'll agree. 



#1 - It Tastes Great!
You may think you know what to expect from a BBQ restaurant, but they're not all created equal. When you bring the gang to Wobbly Boots BBQ, you're all in for a surprising treat! First of all, we give our meats their mouthwatering flavor by slow-smoking them over hickory to bring out an intense, rich taste. After years of practice and perfection, our cooks know exactly how long to leave each meat in the smoker to ensure that it reaches its highest flavor potential.  

The other thing that gives our hickory-smoked meats an extra edge over all the others is the special dry rubs that we use to prepare them and the house recipe BBQ sauce that we pair them with. Put it all together and you've got our hybrid style of BBQ which was inspired by the 4 BBQ meccas of the U.S.A.: Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, and Texas. We learned from the greats, but created a flavor that you will only find here at the Boot!   



#2 - An Excellent Variety
When some people hear BBQ, they sometimes limit their idea of dishes to chicken, burgers, and steak like they might grill at home. On the contrary, our menu has a wide variety of different meats that we hickory-smoke, which include but are not limited to: 
  • Hand-Pulled Pork
  • Beef Brisket
  • Turkey Breast
  • Pit Ham
  • Smoked Sausage
  • Burnt Ends
  • Baby Back Ribs
  • Spare Ribs
  • Smoked Chicken
  • Wobbly Wings
Those meats can either be ordered piled on a plate next to one of our homestyle side dishes, or we can put them on a bun for you to enjoy. You'll also find many of the meats above used as ingredients in lots of the creative dishes on our menu. You'll have to come back often to try them all! 



#3 - BBQ Pairs Well With Beer & Sports
Sports fans will be thrilled to find out that they can enjoy BBQ while catching all of their favorite games on our 21 TVs and giant projection screen. They are each placed strategically around the restaurant so that no matter where you sit, there's not a bad seat in the house for watching the game. 

An ice-cold beer is an excellent beverage to wash down a plate full of hickory-smoked BBQ with, and here at our Lake of the Ozarks bar and restaurant, you can choose from a wide variety of bottled beers and 21 different brews on tap. We've got a fully stocked bar too, so if you're in the mood for a cocktail instead, we've got you covered. 



#4 - Food All Ages Love
If it's the family that you're trying to convince rather than a group of friends, our family-friendly atmosphere and down-home hospitality will make everyone feel right at home. Young diners will be pleased with the choices on our kids' menu, which include favorites like Chicken Tenders, Mini Corn Dogs, Burgers, Grilled Cheese, Mac & Cheese, and even a Cheese Quesadilla. We've also got a kids' version of our Pork Sandwich in case they're ready to start moving toward becoming a smoked meat lover. 

The kids get foods they are comfortable with and already love, and you get the chance to enjoy a grown-up dinner with your own favorites, as well as brand new dishes to try. Something that makes the experience even better is that since you're eating at our place, we'll take care of the cleanup when you're done! 



#5 - The Boot Is More Than BBQ
There's always that one person in every group that won't agree with you, and for that particular friend, you can let them know that the best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks has more than just BBQ on our extensive menu. For example, we've got Crab Stuffed Mushrooms and Cajun Dusted Shrimp on our appetizer menu, incredible salads and savory soups, the best burgers in the Midwest, and even BLTs made with salmon or catfish. One glance through our menu and everyone in your group is sure to find something perfect to cure their hunger. 



While writing today's blog we've certainly convinced ourselves that dinner at our family-friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks sounds like the perfect idea tonight, and we're willing to bet that you think so too! Now all you have to do is share this wisdom with your friends and family and you'll be dining at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in no time.
