Football Food at Shorty Pants Lounge

Watching football is fun, but the best part of the game is the food you eat while you watch it!  The best Cajun restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks offers quite a few tasty choices for you to munch on while you enjoy the game.  Here are a few of our Shorty Pants Lounge favorites for you to try.


Smoked Wings


Quite possibly the most important food to have on your table when the game is on. Our house smoked wings are served original, extra hot, garlic Parmesan, or barbecue.  



Blackened Chicken 'n' Cheese Nachos


Tortilla chips piled high and smothered in our Turbodog cheese sauce, then topped with spicy chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos, fresh made salsa, and sour cream.  



Crab Cakes


Two handmade shrimp and lump blue crab meat cakes rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs and topped with shrimp in our seafood cream sauce. 

Crab Artichoke Spinach Dip

A mouthwatering mixture of crab, spinach, artichoke, and blended cheese, all served up with tri-color corn chips.  


Bacon Cheddar Burger


99.9% of football fans love bacon!  Our house-smoked bacon and cheddar cheese gets this Black Angus burger poppin'.


Black Jack Burger


For those that like it hot, we blacken spice our classic burger and top it off with Pepper Jack cheese and jalapenos.  





That's only a tiny portion of our incredible Cajun food menu, but items we are sure any football fan will love.  Join us at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant to cheer on your favorite team on either our indoor or outdoor TVs.  You sit back and enjoy the game while we cook for you. We'll even bring you a cold beer when you're ready so you don't have to miss any of the action!

3 Incredible Scenic Rides for the Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest

Shorty Pants Lounge is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a laid-back Lake experience. Our lake view restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is the best place to hang out when you are ready for a break this Bikefest weekend.  After you are rested and ready to hop back on your bike, the Lake of the Ozarks is one of the most scenic places in the country to ride.  Here are 3 of the most beautiful rides for you to experience while you're in town.

Around the Lake

This 95.7 mile ride will take you around the giant "Magic Dragon" known as the Lake of the Ozarks.  The community toll bridge was built so that we could get to all of these areas much faster, but on a gorgeous weekend made for riding, you're going to want to skip the shortcut!  This ride takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes, plus any stops you want to make along the way.

Ha Ha Tonka

83.7 miles make up this ride, taking just under 2 hours.  It connects two incredible state parks that are well worth the time to stop and explore.  Bennett Spring State Park and Ha Ha Tonka State Park are two very popular attractions on their own, but add in the thrill of the journey between them and it gets even better.

Devil's Elbow

Quite possibly one of the prettiest spots on old Route 66, this 115.6 mile ride is a favorite.  It was named for a particularly bad spot in the Big Piney River known as a "devil of an elbow."  You'll see a lot of history along this road.  The ride takes a little over 3 hours.

These unbelievable scenic rides are only a part of the enormous amount of fun planned for the 2015 Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest.  You will find vendor villages, concerts, contests, and more all over the Lake this weekend.  Our sister restaurant, Dog Days Bar & Grill, will have a tent set up at the Lake of the Ozarks Harley Davidson dealership in Osage Beach serving up delicious food, ice cold drinks, and featuring some incredible live music.  

Don't forget about the Passport Ride too!  Shorty Pants Lounge is proud to be one of the 24 Official Passport stops along the route.  You have all weekend to collect your passport stamps and then turn it in at the Harley Davidson dealership for a chance to win a 2014 FXSB Softail Breakout!




The best Cajun restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great place to spend some of your Bikefest weekend.  We'll stamp your passport and entertain and feed you while you rest between all of the exciting things going on September 17-20 at the Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest.
