4th of July Fun at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina

We're getting ready for one of the biggest weekends of the summer here at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, and we are hoping to see each and every one of you at some point during this 4th of July holiday. Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina has everything you need for a great day, and night, alongside the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. 




Fantastic Live Entertainment. 

The Shorty Pants stage features the very best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks. This holiday weekend we have made sure that you will be thoroughly entertained. We've even taken the extra initiative to feature more live music on the day after the 4th of July for all of you that simply aren't ready for the holiday party to end.

Tasty & Refreshing Menu Items

Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks can be found at Shorty Pants Lounge. Not only is it all delicious, but you can enjoy it outside by the lake, or indoors in the air conditioning. Plenty of seating all around. 

The New Orleans influence runs throughout both our food and drink menus. The Creole Quesadilla is one of our most popular starters, and the New Orleans Medley offers you a taste of four different incredible Cajun dishes. 


Heading on over to the legendary drink menu, you can enjoy a Hurricane, muddled Mojito, of the best Cajun Bloody Mary that you've ever tasted! We've also got many lake favorites: Rum Runners, Pina Coladas, and of course, you can't leave the area without trying a Pain. You'll also find a wonderful wine selection and plenty of ice cold beer.  


Our food menu has plenty of non-Cajun flavors too, if that's what you are looking for. Our Black Angus Burgers simply can't be beat, plus we offer Filet Mignon, Lobster Tails, and our famous Smoked Wings, to name a few.



Fully Stocked Marina, C-Store, & Gas Dock

A short walk down the dock will take you to the best gas dock at the Lake of the Ozarks. This is connected to a C-Store filled with everything that you could possibly need for an awesome day out on the water: ice, drinks, snacks, sunglasses, Shorty Pants gear, boat oil, suntan lotion... The list goes on and on. 

Stock up before heading out on your boat to enjoy the fireworks this weekend! If you are in need of a boat slip for the holiday, call 573-302-1004 to check availability in Shorty Pants Marina. You will also get access to the many amenities that come along with it: showers, washer/dryer, free WiFi & electric, free ice, gated parking, and gas discounts.    
   


We'll See You This Weekend!

Make your plans now to hang out with us at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina as often as you can over this 4th of July weekend. There are lots of drinks to try, even more food to taste, and incredible music all weekend long.

The More You Eat, the More FREE Food You Earn!

Our popular Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant is a member of the Barrett Restaurant Group, making us a part of a big, delicious family of restaurants. Dog Days Bar & Grill and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse are wonderful sister restaurants to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina, and when you dine at any one of them, you will be eligible to take part in our FREE Frequent Diner Program




No matter where you decide to eat between these three amazing choices, we will give you a little bit of it back in credit for future visits. Here is how the Frequent Diner Program works. 

First, simply ask your server about signing up. This can quickly and easily be done when you pay your bill. Next, all you have to do is continue ordering delicious food and drinks at any one of the Barrett Group Restaurants. Once you have spent $150, you will begin getting a 10% kickback on every penny spent after that. 



That's not difficult to do, because even though Shorty Pants and Dog Days are only open seasonally, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is there for you to enjoy all year long. Keep earning points toward free food year-round, and spend them at any of our three restaurants whenever you feel like it. These points never expire, so feel free to save them up.  

Here's an example. Say you have already spent your first $150, and you come in for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. Your bill is $20. Let your server know that you have the card, and they will make sure that you get your rewards, which in this case would be $2 to spend on another visit. 

If you decide to buy dinner & a few cocktails for everyone on the boat that day and the bill turns out to be $200, your friends have just helped you to put a $20 credit on your Frequent Diner Card. Even better, if you save your points long enough, you can buy that trip with points and just let everyone think that you splurged on them!   



You won't believe how quickly these rewards build up. It's easy to do when you have three of the best restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks to choose from. Whether you are in the mood for the best Cajun food in the Midwest, Chef's Signature Burgers, or some hickory-smoked BBQ, we've got you covered. The next time you visit us at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina, be sure to ask for your very own FREE Frequent Diner Card and let us give you back a reward as a thank you for hanging out with us.

Enjoy Father's Day Weekend at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina

Father's Day is this weekend, and we've got something in mind for your dad that he'll enjoy a lot more than another tie for his collection - a day with you at the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. Incredible food, great drinks, awesome live music, and a beautiful lake view are all waiting to greet your father at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina.  



Fun for the Entire Family

Our family friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is easily accessible by both land and water. We've also got plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, so no matter what the weather, hot, cold, rainy, or sunny, you and your dad will be comfortable. 

If you will be visiting us from out of town, Shorty Pants Lounge now has two incredible houses for rent. The Red House and the Glass House are both located next to door to us, close to town and right on the water. Much cozier than a hotel room, you will feel at home in one of our vacation rentals.  



Shorty Pants Marina offers covered boat slips, a full-service gas dock, and the best C-store on the water, full of everything that you will need for a day on the lake. It's a great place to stock up before spending an afternoon exploring the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. 

In addition to the always amazing Cajun dishes and other menu items that we serve here on a daily basis, you will also get to enjoy two incredible bands over the weekend. Spontaneous Serendipity will be here on Friday night, and the Ozark Mountain Oysters will take over on Saturday night. Both of these talented groups are local favorites, and they put on a show that every age can enjoy.   


For Dad's with Younger Kids

If your family has younger children celebrating Dad this weekend, we've got food that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy. This is great news for both Dad and Mom, because that means the kids will be happy and satisfied with everything on their plates, while they get to enjoy the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here's a peek at our menu for the little ones. 

Shorty Burger
Like Dad's, but a bit smaller. This quarter-pound burger comes with or without cheese.

Shorty Pasta
Delicious noodles served with either red sauce or Alfredo.

Chicken Tenders
These fresh chicken tenders are hand breaded and fried to a golden brown.

Shorty Mini Corn Dogs
Just like it sounds: a plate of corn dogs, miniaturized.

Grilled Cheese
We use both white and yellow cheeses and melt them together on white bread. Warm, cheesy, and delicious.

For Dad's with Older Children

For the father's that have been at it for 21 years or longer, we've got the coldest, most refreshing cocktails in town to share with your adult children. Cajun Bloody Marys, hand-mixed Mojitos, and all of your favorite frozen drinks. 

New this year, we have Happy Hour every Sunday with drink specials on Mimosas, Screwdrivers, Margaritas, and of course, those famous Bloody Marys. That's perfect timing, since Father's Day just happens to fall on a Sunday!

Also new this year, we have some tasty fruit, cheese, and sausage plates that go wonderfully with the fantastic wines we keep in our bar. You will find some amazing wine pairings to go with our Shorty Pants Lounge menu.



Join us This Father's Day Weekend

So there you have it. Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina has the makings for the perfect Father's Day weekend that any dad would be excited to experience with his loving family. A weekend at the lake is always an awesome time, and spending some of it at the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks makes it even better.

My wife had the Jambalaya, I had a creole Quesadilla. Both were very good. The Lounge was on the water with great views, both indoor and outdoor seating. We will return."

Creole Quesadilla
"First time visiting this place. Everyone seemed very nice and food was good. We are not frequent visitors to Lake of the Ozarks so was not sure where to go, would definitely go here again. We visited in April. It was crowded when we left but I am sure in the summer it is a very busy place as you can come by boat and they have a marina."
~CSHT

"We've been here by car and boat. Rum runners are great. Cheese and sausage tray is great and the gator bites are all so good and different! Enjoy!"
