Our 2018 Season Ends November 17 - Come & Get It!

It's that unavoidable time of year when our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is getting ready to shut our doors for a few months. Don't focus on the fact that you can't enjoy Shorty Pants Lounge until next spring, but rather take this time to get yourself on over here while you still can! 

Shorty Pants Dining Favorites
Last week our blog featured 10 menu items that we know you're going to miss this winter after we close for the season at the end of the day on Saturday, November 17, 2018. In reality, the dishes on that list are just the tip of the iceberg. We see a lot of repeat customers here at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina and each of them has a different opinion about which menu item keeps bringing them back again and again. 

For many, it's those famous Crab Cakes, while others can't resist our mouthwatering Shrimp & Crawfish Etouffee. The Po Boys are always popular too, but so are many of our non-Cajun creations, which get just as much love and attention as the Creole cooking. You've still got a few more days to come in and enjoy your favorites one more time this year, whatever they may be!    

Raise a Glass
Don't forget about all of those freshly made cocktails that our bartenders are so amazing at creating too. You won't find a better Hurricane in town, and our muddled Mojitos and Cajun Bloody Marys are just as irresistible! Even though it's cold outside, you might want to have one last Rum Runner or Pina Colada for the season, and of course, we've got plenty of beer, wine, and all of your favorite liquors to enjoy. Come in and toast another fantastic season with us before it's over!   

We Cater Year-Round
Even though the doors to our Lake of the Ozarks restaurant & bar will be closed until next spring, our talented chefs are always available to cater all of your special events year-round! As a part of the Barrett Restaurant Group along with Dog Days Bar & Grill and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, we have the ability to create customized menus for parties, business meetings, and much more. In some cases, we can even open the restaurant back up for private parties. For more details or to book catering for your event, give us a call at 573-348-2277 or call our head chef, Kevin, at 573-216-5615. 

Stay With Us This Winter
Another service we offer year-round is the best vacation house rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks. That means that our spacious and comfortable houses are the perfect place for you to stay when you visit the lake area for all of those fun holiday happenings going on. The Glass House can sleep up to 8 guests and the Red House can house up to 16 guests. They are both located on the water just a short distance from Shorty Pants Marina, which is also open year-round. You can see photos, get additional details, check availability, and book online at www.ShortyPantsLounge.com.   

As sad as we are to say goodbye, for now, you can rest assured that Shorty Pants Lounge will be back again next spring with another exciting menu full of Cajun goodness. Please make plans to join us on or before our last day of the season on Saturday, November 17, 2018. We'd love to hang out with you again this year!

Let Us Handle Your Holiday Catering

If you have a lot of guests headed your way for the upcoming holiday season, or if you are in charge of feeding everyone at this year's holiday party, make it easy on yourself. Hire the best catering at the Lake of the Ozarks to take care of the food so you can enjoy the celebration along with the rest of your guests. As a part of the Barrett Restaurant Group, Shorty Pants Lounge can create the tastiest treats for any get-together. 

Wide Variety of Foods
The Barrett Restaurant Group is made up of Shorty Pants Lounge, Dog Days Bar & Grill, and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. When you let us cater your event, you not only have all of those amazing dishes that each restaurant is known for to pick from, but the creative chefs from all three restaurants are capable of making a customized menu of your favorite foods. No matter what the meal - breakfast, lunch, dinner, or "snack-time," you just let us know what you have in mind and our kitchen will come up with a menu to suit your needs. 

Just in time for Thanksgiving, our Lake of the Ozarks catering service will be using our incredible smoker to make mouthwatering hickory-smoked turkeys! You can bring your bird to us and we'll cook it up for you at $2/pound. Then all you have to do is pick it up when it's done along with a few homestyle side dishes and you're all set! 

Any Event, Large or Small
Our Lake of the Ozarks catering is available for small parties for a few close friends all the way up to groups of 500! Wedding receptions, holiday parties, office meetings, family reunions... the list goes on and on. If your celebration needs food, we can make that happen in the most delicious way possible.

All of our catering is scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so once you have a date for your party, get it on our calendar. To guarantee your date, it needs to be booked in advance with our sales office and a final guest count is needed one week before the event.  

Your Place or Ours?
If you already have a place to host your celebration, you can swing by the restaurant to pick up your order or make arrangements for us to deliver it directly to you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a great venue to host your group, ask about having your party right here at your favorite Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant! Our dining room is sometimes available for private events.   

Book Your Event NOW! 
There are only a few weeks at the end of November and throughout December to squeeze in a lot of holiday cheer. If you'd like to be able to serve your guests the best catering at the Lake of the Ozarks, then give us a call soon at 573-348-2277 to make the arrangements. Any party will be a lot more fun for you, the host, when Shorty Pants Lounge does the cooking!

Shorty Pants Caters To Your Needs - Literally!

By now, you've surely heard (or seen for yourself!) that Shorty Pants Lounge offers the most authentic Cajun cuisine at the Lake of the Ozarks. We proudly serve delicious food from a superb menu that is straight out of New Orleans, featuring rubs and spices that are direct from Louisiana. From crab cakes to gumbo, we're sure to have something for everyone!

Dining with us is always great, but wouldn't it be nice if, sometimes, you could have the party brought straight you?

Well, you're in luck! Shorty Pants Catering will do just that.

Our catering menu combines the best of the best from Dog Days, Wobbly Boots, and (of course) your favorite waterfront restaurant at the Lake. Our menu items provide a mere sample of the many different types of food we can provide; our experienced staff will work with you to develop a unique menu that perfectly fits your and your guests' needs. 

Events are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. A quote does not confirm an event or reserve the date and time, so make sure you officially book your event with our sales office!

We require a final count one week prior to your event, but we understand that last minute changes are sometimes unavoidable. We will make every effort to accommodate you and your needs.

Let Shorty Pants bring the party straight to your door - or dock! We would be honored to cater your next event. Contact us today for more information! Cal 573-348-4244 for details and pricing.
