The Best BBQ in Mid-Missouri is Created Daily at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

If you're on the hunt for the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, go ahead and set your GPS for Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach! For more than a quarter of a decade, we've earned multiple awards and served numerous satisfied customers who all keep coming back for more. What makes our BBQ so darn good? Well, keep on reading...

Inspired by the Masters
All of our original recipes have been perfected over time by the talented chefs here at the Boot. The inspiration for what we call our "hybrid-style" of BBQ came from some of the greatest BBQ meccas of the U.S.A. - Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, and Texas. We combined our favorite things about all of their amazing styles and created a taste that is simply irresistible! 

This Is How We Do It...
We won't give away all of the secrets from our BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, but we can give you an idea of how we get it all started. First, our meats are slow-smoked over hickory, allowing the incredible flavors of each type of meat to come through boldly. (You'll be able to smell it cooking from the parking lot!) 

Next, after the perfect amount of hours for each particular meat, we coat them (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 will have you licking your lips and dreaming about your next visit to Wobbly Boots BBQ!   

So Many Choices!
Here at the Boot, we offer those succulent hickory-smoked meats in many different ways. You'll find them as the main ingredient in many of our popular menu items, like the Pulled Pork Nachos, the Texas 2-Step, and even The Big Salad. 

If you want the meat on its own (along with a homestyle side dish, of course) then you may choose to order it as a Smoked Meat Plate with either one, two, or three different types of meat or on a bun, sandwich-style. Here is what you will have to choose from. 

Pulled Pork
Our pork is slow-smoked over hickory for 16 hours, then hand-pulled and trimmed. 

Smoked Sausage
Smoked sausage links sliced and served with our house recipe BBQ sauce. 

Turkey Breast
100% white meat turkey breast smoked to perfection. 

Pit Ham
Lean, thin-sliced, double-smoked ham. 

Beef Brisket
Our juicy beef brisket is slow-smoked for 10 hours and sliced to order for maximum tenderness. 

Burnt Ends 
Double-rubbed and double-smoked brisket tips in a beer and BBQ sauce. Coleslaw on top makes it even tastier! 

Bad to the Bone BBQ
We don't stop at just those meats listed above. The following fantastic dinner plates are served with your choice of one homestyle side dish and a big piece of Texas Toast. 

Baby Back Ribs
A slab of tender, meaty ribs coated with our dry rub and slow-smoked, lightly grilled, and basted with our secret recipe sauce before serving. 

Classic Pork Spare Ribs
For the true barbeque lover! Juicy pork spare ribs coated with our special dry rub and slow-roasted over hickory logs, then basted with our secret recipe sauce before serving.  

Hickory-Smoked Half Chicken
Our classic chicken dinner, spice-rubbed, smoked, and glazed in homemade BBQ sauce. 

BBQ Chicken & Ribs Combo
A delicious combination of mouthwatering 'que! Half of a BBQ Chicken and a half-slab of Pork Spare Ribs both glazed with our house-made sauce. 

That's the majority of our main BBQ dishes, but we didn't even mention our famous Wobbly Wings or the hickory-smoked bacon that makes it onto many of our menu items! That same menu also offers quite a few non-BBQ dishes in addition to the award-winning BBQ you get at our Lake of the Ozarks family restaurant. Head on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse soon and give us a try. We guarantee you'll find something to fall in love with!

Burnt Ends - From Scraps to a Delicious Delicacy!

A customer favorite off the menu at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach is our flavorful burnt ends. Did you know that this delicious dish was originally discovered by accident? Pitmasters were only trying to create the perfect brisket but a second equally amazing food was invented. 

Our BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks found our own way to perfect burnt ends but its origin story comes from another place famous for BBQ right here in Missouri - Kansas City.

From Trash to Treasure

The fantastic menu item that people love today actually came from the end pieces of brisket that got cut off because they were too charred and fatty to be served. Once cut off, these pieces used to get thrown away, used for scraps in stews, or sometimes snacked on by the chefs.

As customers were waiting in line they would notice these ends begin piling up as the brisket was cut, and some would grab a few to pop in their mouths while they waited for their order. One Kansas City BBQ restaurant, Arthur Bryant's, began setting their burnt ends out on the counter as a free snack that patrons were encouraged to enjoy.

In 1972, a now-famous article appeared in Playboy magazine written by Kansas City native Calvin Trillin. He praised and bragged about the burnt ends, even going so far as to say "I dream about those burnt ends!" It didn't take long for the restaurant to realize that this "throw-away meat" deserved its own spot on the menu. Even though they were already a popular treat, pitmasters went to work perfecting the way this "new" dish would be prepared.

Burnt Ends at the Boot

If you've tried the amazing burnt ends we serve here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, then you know exactly what we're talking about when we say they are a memorable dish that is simply irresistible. Believe it or not, they are considered a Kansas City food and most restaurants outside of that area don't even bother to put them on the menu. (Those other places don't know what they're missing!)

That's not the case here at the Boot! We proudly serve burnt ends whenever we can. (They get eaten up quickly, but we always make more!) In our opinion, if you're striving to serve the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, this is a must-have menu item.

The process begins with our slow-smoked brisket tips. These get double-rubbed and double-smoked in a beer and BBQ sauce for the ultimate in flavor sensations! You're left with a tender, flavorful, one-of-a-kind taste.

We highly suggest giving burnt ends a try the next time you dine at our family restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. They are available as a sandwich or served on a plate next to one of our homestyle side dishes. It's definitely a meal you will fondly remember after just one bite, just like you'd expect from Wobbly Boots BBQ!
