Eat Dessert First - August Says So!

We just recently realized that August is "National Eat Dessert First Month." (We could have been doing that for two weeks already!) Dining on dessert first is really a great idea because after most people enjoy a plate full of the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks, there's little to no room left for it!

When you eat dessert before the main meal, you get to enjoy the sweetest menu treats at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina that you don't always save space in your tummy for. Then, if you run out of room to finish your main meal, well, you've got leftovers to savor tomorrow. Win-win!

We've got three taste-tempting dessert options on the menu at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant & bar. Here's a closer look at those.

Beignets
Also known as "Louisiana's doughnut", beignets are a favorite in the French Quarter. Thanks to the talented kitchen crew at Shorty Pants Lounge, this is a favorite dish in mid-Missouri too!

A beignet is a perfectly deep-fried pastry tossed in powdered sugar. We serve our version with a side of house-made sweet raspberry sauce to make them even more irresistible. After just one bite, this will be a new staple in your diet every time you dine with us!

Bananas Foster
Great care goes into making this taste-tempting dessert both look and taste phenomenal! First, we cut up fresh bananas into thick slices. Those are sauteed in our Cruzan Black Strap Rum sauce until the two meld together irresistibly. Once ready, it's all topped with cold vanilla bean ice cream and presented to you for enjoyment.

Chocolate Bayou Cobbler

This decadent Hershey's chocolate experience is baked with a scrumptious, golden crust on top. Before bringing it out to you, we add rich vanilla bean ice cream and creamy whipped cream. This is a must-try, so if you don't think you'll be able to save room, eat dessert first!

"Liquid" Dessert
Another "dessert" option is to order one of the sweet treats from our bar. There are plenty of drinks to choose from that fit this description; Rum Runners, Pina Coladas, Mudslides, and more. Also, our long list of Hurricanes is full of fantastic flavors that are definitely worth giving a try.

There's a popular saying that goes, "Life is short. Eat dessert first!" So, have we convinced you to do that? Before the meal, after the meal, or hey, even during the meal, we truly suggest you give at least one of the desserts at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina a try soon.

Save Room for Dessert!

We realize that it's incredibly difficult to save room for dessert when you're faced with a menu full of the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks, but believe us when we say it is definitely worth the effort! Do whatever you need to do when you come to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina, either come in specifically for something sweet or eat dessert before your meal, but please give one (or all) of these fantastic treats a try!

Beignets
There's a good chance that you actually have started a meal at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant with this amazing dish. It's so good, we listed it on the menu twice, under both desserts AND appetizers! Also known as "Louisiana's doughnut," it's a favorite in the French Quarter and, thanks to our talented chefs, it's a favorite in mid-Missouri too!

A beignet is a perfectly deep-fried pastry tossed in powdered sugar. We serve our version with a side of house-made sweet raspberry sauce to make them even more irresistible. No one will judge you around here if you decide to both begin and end your meal with a plate full of fantastic beignets. As a matter of fact, everyone will be impressed... and jealous!

Bananas Foster
Great care goes into making this taste-tempting dessert both look and taste phenomenal! First, we cut up fresh bananas into thick slices. Those are sauteed in our Cruzan Black Strap Rum sauce until the two meld together irresistibly. Once ready, it's all topped with cold vanilla bean ice cream and presented to you for enjoyment.

Chocolate Bayou Cobbler
Unfortunately, we don't have a photo on file for this terrific dessert to tempt your sweet tooth. (It's so good, people keep digging into it before we can snap a picture!) Still, we couldn't leave out a delicious description of our Chocolate Bayou Cobbler.

This decadent Hershey's chocolate experience is baked with a scrumptious, golden crust on top. Before bringing it out to you, we add rich vanilla bean ice cream and creamy whipped cream. This is a must try, so share it with a friend if you think you're too full!

Drink Dessert
Some guests prefer to order something sweet at the end of their meal from the bar rather than from the kitchen. This too is a wise choice, because we have all sorts of amazing mixed cocktails available, from our long list of Hurricanes to those fantastic frozen drinks like our Rum Runner, Pina Colada, or the Pain in the A**. The kids can even enjoy a drinkable dessert with a Frozen Jolly Rancher Slushy!

We won't think any less of you if you eat so much for your meal that there's no room left for dessert, but we do highly suggest that you try really hard to save some room. The delicious desserts at Shorty Pants Lounge are every bit as enticing as our main dishes. You're going to love them!
