Football Food at Shorty Pants Lounge

Watching football is fun, but the best part of the game is the food you eat while you watch it!  The best Cajun restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks offers quite a few tasty choices for you to munch on while you enjoy the game.  Here are a few of our Shorty Pants Lounge favorites for you to try.

Smoked Wings

Quite possibly the most important food to have on your table when the game is on. Our house smoked wings are served original, extra hot, garlic Parmesan, or barbecue.  

Blackened Chicken 'n' Cheese Nachos

Tortilla chips piled high and smothered in our Turbodog cheese sauce, then topped with spicy chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos, fresh made salsa, and sour cream.  

Crab Cakes

Two handmade shrimp and lump blue crab meat cakes rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs and topped with shrimp in our seafood cream sauce. 

Crab Artichoke Spinach Dip

A mouthwatering mixture of crab, spinach, artichoke, and blended cheese, all served up with tri-color corn chips.  

Bacon Cheddar Burger

99.9% of football fans love bacon!  Our house-smoked bacon and cheddar cheese gets this Black Angus burger poppin'.

Black Jack Burger

For those that like it hot, we blacken spice our classic burger and top it off with Pepper Jack cheese and jalapenos.  

That's only a tiny portion of our incredible Cajun food menu, but items we are sure any football fan will love.  Join us at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant to cheer on your favorite team on either our indoor or outdoor TVs.  You sit back and enjoy the game while we cook for you. We'll even bring you a cold beer when you're ready so you don't have to miss any of the action!
