Dinner & A Show
The live music at our waterfront restaurant & bar at the Lake of the Ozarks begins at 6:00 pm during the week and at 7:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. That's perfect timing for you to come in and grab a seat for a delicious lakeside dinner. 

With live music this great, you'll want to settle in and stay for a while! Spread the meal out by starting with an appetizer or two, leisurely making your way through the main course, and then go ahead and get dessert. (Get up and dance to the music between courses and you won't even have to worry about the calories!) 

Your dining choices from our menu of the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks are many. For example, a few local favorites include Creole Quesadilla, Sweet Coconut Shrimp, Crab Cake Pasta, Crawfish 'N' Shrimp Etouffee, and to finish it all off, a plate of Beignets. 

Of course, you don't really have to make the meal last your entire stay. The bar will be open all night long so you can sip on a few cocktails while you enjoy the show. No need to rush off. Make an entire evening out of it! 

You'll find an incredible selection of ice-cold beers, a wonderful variety of wines, and a long list of mixed drinks including our signature Hurricanes, Cajun Bloody Marys, freshly muddled Mojitos, magnificent Margaritas, and those famous Pain in the A** frozen cocktails.  

Get out those calendars now and mark down the dates for the best live entertainment at the Lake of the Ozarks that you don't want to miss this June. 

Don't worry too much if you have to miss one of these musicians this time around because there's a good chance they'll be back to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina at some point again this summer. (You can always find an updated entertainment list on our website.) One thing is for sure. No matter when you decide to join us, you're bound to have an incredible time!

Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks is full of so many incredible possibilities for an exciting 3-day holiday. While you're making plans, be sure to add a trip to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina to your itinerary! You can fuel up your boat, fill up your stomachs, quench your thirst, and make some incredible memories to last a lifetime! 

Lakeside Dining
You simply can't be in the lake area and miss the opportunity to dine by the water. Our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks gives you the chance to do just that with an amazing view, whether you're traveling by car or by boat. You can find us at 1680 Autumn Lane in Osage Beach by land and at the 21 mm by water. 

We've got lots of seating outside overlooking our gorgeous lake view and an outdoor tiki bar too. There is also a covered patio area complete with a fireplace, just in case it gets a bit chilly in the evening. (This really comes in handy early spring and late fall.) 

Indoors you'll find even more room for dining, as well as another bar to belly up to. It's a great way to cool off on a hot day and a perfect way to dodge any rainy weather Mother Nature may decide to throw our way.  

Fantastic Food
We are most well-known around these parts for serving the best Cajun foods at the Lake of the Ozarks. Every one of our irresistible Creole creations has authentic flavors thanks in part to the authentic rubs and spices we use, direct from Louisiana. Our world-famous Crab Cakes are a popular dish, as well as our savory Crawfish Etouffee, mouthwatering Gumbo, and a nice variety of giant Po Boy Sandwiches, but that's only the beginning of the long list of Cajun dishes you'll find at Shorty Pants Lounge.  

We've also got a wonderful selection of non-Cajun foods for you to enjoy as well. The Smoked Wings are some of the best in the lake area and our juicy burgers are full of flavor, as well as the awesome appetizers, savory steaks, and seafood you'll find on the menu, among many other delicious dishes.   

Refreshing Drinks

The talented bartenders at Shorty Pants Lounge make the most amazing hand-mixed cocktails. Some of the specialties that you will find coming out of our bar include freshly muddled Mojitos, Cajun Bloody Marys, magnificent Margaritas, and a long list of Hurricanes. All of your favorite frozen drinks are here too; Pina Coladas, Strawberry Daiquiris, Rum Runners, and of course, the lake area favorite - Pain in the A**. In addition to those, we carry an excellent assortment of wines as well as the coldest beer in town.

The Gas Dock & C-Store
For those of your spending some time on the water this holiday weekend, you'll want to be sure to swing by the best gas dock on the Lake of the Ozarks for all of your boating needs. You can fill up your watercraft with 87 Octane, 93 Octane, or Diesel fuel, but you'll find a lot more than just gas here! 

Shorty Pants Marina's C-Store has snacks, drinks, ice, sunglasses, suntan lotion, and just about anything else you might need for a day out on the lake. You can even pick up some cool Shorty Pants swag while you're here too. 

In addition to in-house dining, you can also enjoy dockside dining at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina or call in an order for carryout. We hope you all have a very enjoyable and very safe Memorial Day Weekend and we hope to see you for a least a part of it.

10 of our Most Popular Menu Items To Make Your Mouth Water!

The best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks is what we're known for, but Creole cuisine is only a portion of our extensive menu. (A large portion of it, but there are a lot of other delicious dishes too!)  

There's plenty of variety at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina to please a variety of tastes. Here's a look at 10 of our most popular menu items to get you in the mood for a trip to our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant & bar. 

Crab Cake Pasta
Our crab cakes are irresistible as an appetizer already and being placed on top of a bed of pasta makes them even more so! We take two handmade shrimp and lump blue crab cakes and place them on a bed of fresh fettuccine with shrimp and top all of that with our delicious seafood cream sauce. 

Raspberry Chicken Salad
This salad is packed full of incredible flavors! It is filled with fresh spinach, apple slices, grapes, heirloom tomatoes, and grilled chicken and served with our house raspberry balsamic dressing. 

New Orleans Medley
When you simply cannot decide between the many different Cajun delicacies we have to offer, this plate gives you a taste of four of the best! It's a plateful of our signature entrees; creamy Crawfish Etouffee, rich Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice, and a half-link of our Andouille Sausage. YUM! 

Black Jack Filet
For this mouthwatering delicacy, we serve up a dry, aged, blackened 7-oz. filet and top it with house-made Jack Daniel's steak sauce, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, and onions. 

Shrimp & Grits Tacos
Tacos are always a crowd-pleaser and with this special Cajun twist, we've made them even harder to resist! We place our famous jalapeno grits under shrimp, Andouille sausage, bacon, and jalapeno lime sauce. 

Plantation Wrap
A big, flavorful meal wrapped up in a tortilla! We pack a sun-dried tomato tortilla full of Andouille sausage, our Big Easy Shrimp, and red beans & rice to make a full-bodied wrap that will satisfy even the biggest hunger. 

Smothered Catfish
Catfish is a popular menu item all over the lake area and when we combine it with one of our other signature dishes, we're willing to bet it quickly becomes your favorite way to eat catfish! We fry a catfish filet to a golden brown and place it on a bed of rice. Next, it gets "smothered" in a heaping helping of our Crawfish Etouffee. Avoiding fried food? It's great blackened too. 

Baja Burger
This hearty burger is a favorite with diners who enjoy a bit of "heat" in every bite! It starts with an 8-oz burger patty made with a house blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib. Next, it's blackened and topped with pepper jack cheese and jalapenos! For anyone needing a little less "fire," we've also got 5 more mouthwatering burgers on the menu to choose from. 

Creole Quesadilla
We put more flavor inside this tortilla than you even knew was possible! It contains a bountiful blend of Andouille sausage, crawfish, shrimp, sauteed peppers, onions, and pepper jack cheese. 

Po Boys
You'll find four Po Boys on the menu that each sound so good, it may be a tough decision for you picking just one! You may choose either Fried Oysters, Blackened or Fried Catfish, or Fried Shrimp on French bread with lettuce, tomato, and Cajun mayo. We also offer a Po Boy with Smoked Andouille Sausage, our homemade remoulade sauce, lettuce, and tomato. 

Now that we've got you good and hungry, head on over to our waterfront Cajun restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks and place your order. Our dining room is open again and following all the suggested guidelines to make sure everyone can practice safe social distancing. If you'd prefer to order your Shorty Pants Lounge food to go, we are currently still offering curbside and dockside pickup too. Any way you want it, we're here to make sure you get it!
