Discover Delicious Cajun Inspiration On Our Lake of the Ozarks Menu

People from across the country, and sometimes from even further, come to mid-Missouri to enjoy everything that this amazing lake area has to offer. Our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant offers you a bit of a vacation inside your vacation. Your body will be here in Osage Beach, but your taste buds will be transported to the French Quarter with flavors straight out of Louisiana and the classic dishes of New Orleans!  

We have a nice variety of non-Creole dishes on our menu too, but Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina is famous for serving the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks. We incorporate classic staples of Cajun cooking, like rice, sausages, seafood, and vegetables, and combine them with authentic rubs and spices direct from Louisiana.



We're not just talking main dishes either. There are delicious Cajun creations throughout our entire menu just waiting to tempt your taste buds and satisfy your hunger in the most delicious ways possible. Here are a few examples of what you can expect to find coming out of the kitchen at Shorty Pants Lounge, but know that there's a LOT more to choose from on our full menu.
