Shorty Pants - MORE Than Just Amazing Cajun Food & Legendary Drinks

We are well-known by both visitors and locals alike for having the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks, and our legendary mixed cocktails cannot be beat. While that is more than enough to bring most people our way, Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina has even more to offer.


Rental Houses

Brand new for the 2016 season, we have two awesome Lake of the Ozarks vacation rentals, and they are both conveniently located right next door to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina. 

The Glass House offers 1,500 sq ft of living space and can easily house up to 8 guests comfortably. The Red House boasts 3,400 sq ft of living space to host even larger groups. Both houses have a gas grill and gorgeous decks overlooking the lake, plus all of the comforts of home, including a washer and dryer.  


Marina

Voted the Best Gas Dock at the Lake of the Ozarks 6 years in a row, our marina and C-store are fully equipped with everything you need for a great day on the water. We offer 35 covered slips for rent, and marina amenities include:

  • Gated parking
  • Showers
  • Washer & Dryer
  • Free wi-fi

Our gas dock offers 87 Octane, 93 Octane, or Diesel fuel. While you are filling up your watercraft, visit our fully-stocked C-store. There is a picnic table and rocking chairs out front to sit and relax for a spell. Inside, we've got free popsicles for the kids, free treats for the dogs, and free coffee if you need a pick-me-up. You can also pick up ice, beverages, snacks, sunglasses, cigarettes, boating supplies, and some our our awesome Shorty Pants gear.

No matter what the weather, we've got plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. Our most popular seats are outside, overlooking the gorgeous Lake of the Ozarks. Enjoy the spectacular view and watch all of "Lake Life" going on all around. 

If it happens to rain, or the temperatures get a little too hot to bear, we've got lots of seating inside our non-smoking dining room too. Catch some games on our televisions and order up a Cajun Bloody Mary or muddled Mojito from the bar.

Delicious Salads & Wraps for a Hot Summer Day

We're experiencing some extremely hot summer days lately here in Osage Beach. When the temperatures get high, sometimes you feel like eating a little lighter. You will find an incredible selection of the best tasting salads and wraps at our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. Be warned though, because even though most of the ingredients are considered "light," we pile them on to make an amazing meal that won't leave you hungry. 




SALADS  

Caesar Salad
Crisp romaine lettuce, tossed with our own Caesar dressing, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. Add grilled chicken or blackened shrimp for an added boost of flavor.

Ahi Tuna Salad
A 6-ounce Sashimi grade tuna filet, sesame seed encrusted and cooked to your liking, served over spring mix with feta cheese and cherry tomatoes, and served with our house remoulade dressing. You may want to try it blackened.

Buffalo Chicken Salad
Hand breaded chicken strips are tossed in our original hot wing sauce and served on a bed of mixed greens with tomatoes, onions, and shredded pepper jack cheese. 

Cobb Salad 
The King of Salads! A platter of crisp greens generously topped with smoked ham and turkey, crumbled bacon, hard boiled egg, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cheddar cheese, and Provel cheese. 

Blackened Salad
Blackened strips of beef tenderloin or chicken with bacon, tomatoes, and bleu cheese dressing.  

Asian Shrimp Salad
Mixed greens and crisp cabbage with blackened shrimp, served with a medley of tomatoes, carrots, red peppers, baby corn, slivered almonds, Craisins, and rice noodles. We serve it with a toasted sesame ginger dressing. It's also fantastic with blackened Ahi tuna.
