Last week's blog mentioned the fact that May is 3 different delicious months in 1 - BBQ Month, Burger Month, & Salad Month. You learned all about how to celebrate National Burger Month this May at the Lake of the Ozarks last week. (Click that link if you missed it!) Our sister restaurant, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse handles the BBQ (exquisitely, we might add,) so this week is all about Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina's amazing salads.
The Savory Salads of Shorty Pants Lounge
Salads are the perfect dish to keep your meal light and healthy. The way we prepare them at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant & bar, they are hearty enough to satisfy any hunger too! Our main dish salads are full of fresh, filling ingredients that are sure to please even the heartiest of appetites.
Summer Spinach Salad
Fresh spinach, apple slices, grapes, and heirloom tomatoes topped with grilled chicken and served with our house raspberry balsamic dressing.
Caesar Salad
Crisp romaine lettuce tossed with our own Caesar dressing, croutons, and parmesan cheese. You may also have us add either grilled chicken or blackened shrimp on top.
Cobb Salad
The King of salads! A platter of fresh spinach and spring mix topped with smoked ham, smoked turkey, crumbled bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar and Provel cheese. (If it's too much for you, order the half-portion!)
Blackened Salad
Blackened strips of beef tenderloin or chicken with bacon, tomatoes, and bleu cheese crumbles over a bed of fresh greens served with our Cajun bleu cheese dressing.

A 6-oz. sesame-encrusted Sashimi grade tuna filet cooked to your liking (try it blackened!) and served over a fresh spring mix with feta cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and our house remoulade dressing.
If you're looking for a smaller portion of salad to enjoy alongside a plate of the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks, give one of these versions a try.
Mini Caesar
A smaller version of the original with a crouton. You may also add grilled chicken or blackened shrimp.

- House Raspberry Balsamic
- Ranch
- French
- Fat-Free Ranch
- Honey Mustard

National Salad Month is an excellent excuse to order any one of these fantastic salads, but when you come to our waterfront Cajun restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, we've got a wide variety of menu items to choose from. No matter what your favorite foods are, you're bound to find something perfect to tame your taste buds and satisfy your hunger.
We use authentic rubs and spices direct from Louisana in our cooking at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina. This gives every single dish out of our kitchen an extra-special touch that will make you fall in love and leave you longing for more! Come on in soon and taste for yourself!
It's officially summertime at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, which means the warm days are going to be getting hotter. When the temperatures rise, sometimes you feel like eating a little lighter. The savory salads at Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina are the perfect dishes to keep it light while still satisfying your hunger. Our wonderful wraps and tacos fit the bill nicely too. Either way that you go, you know you will be making an excellent choice!
SALADS
Some people think of salads as a side dish that you eat before a big meal. This is true in some cases, but the salads we are talking about today are satisfying meals on their own. Full of fresh, filling ingredients, these aren't your typical salads but rather something much, much more impressive.
Caesar Salad
Crisp Romaine lettuce tossed with our own Caesar dressing, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. For a bit more, add grilled chicken or blackened shrimp!
Ahi Tuna Salad
A 6-oz. sesame encrusted Sashimi grade tuna filet cooked to your liking and served over fresh spring mix with feta cheese and heirloom tomatoes and served with our house remoulade dressing. The tuna also tastes great blackened.
Cobb Salad
The king of salads! A platter of fresh spinach and spring mix topped with smoked ham and turkey, crumbled bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar and Provel cheese.
Blackened Salad
Blackened strips of beef tenderloin or chicken with bacon, tomatoes, and bleu cheese crumbles over a bed of fresh greens, served with our Cajun bleu cheese dressing.
Summer Spinach Salad
Fresh spinach, apple slices, grapes, and heirloom tomatoes topped with grilled chicken and served with our house raspberry balsamic dressing.
WRAPS & TACOS
These incredible wraps come with your choice of a side dish, or you can choose to upgrade to one of our signature sides for a small additional charge. Last, but certainly not least, this list is closed out by a taco that will truly blow your mind!
Chicken Caesar Wrap
A wheat tortilla wrapped around a Caesar salad featuring grilled chicken.
Shrimp BLT Wrap
Seasoned grilled shrimp, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Cajun mayo rolled in a sun-dried tomato wrap.
Plantation Wrap
A meal wrapped up in a sun-dried tomato tortilla. Andouille sausage, jumbo shrimp, and red beans and rice make a full-bodied wrap.
Turkey Avocado Wrap
Hickory-smoked turkey breast served in a wheat tortilla with avocado, avocado mayo, lettuce, tomato, and cheddar-jack cheese.
Grilled Turkey Wrap
Lightly grilled turkey breast served in a wheat tortilla with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar-jack cheese, and ranch.
Shrimp and Grits Tacos
Our famous jalapeno grits under shrimp, Andouille sausage, bacon, and jalapeno lime sauce.
If you're craving something on the lighter side, any one of the Shorty Pants Lounge menu items above will satisfy your hunger. Of course, we've also got an extensive menu filled with American favorites and the best Cajun food at the Lake of the Ozarks too. No matter what you're hungry for, we'll take care of you nicely!
Salads are an excellent choice for a healthy meal that can fill you up and give you the energy you need. The main ingredient, the "greens," have calcium, iron, potassium, and B vitamins all on their own. When paired with the savory ingredients that make up the salads on our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant menu, you get even more health benefits than that, making it a wise, and delicious, meal choice.
A few more wonderful things that your body gets from the many colorful and tasty ingredients in a Shorty Pants Lounge salad are fiber, antioxidants, and a healthy dose of protein. If you're watching your calories, tell your server to bring the dressing on the side so you can add it yourself. Some people might worry that they'll still be hungry if they only have a salad, but with the following options from our menu, that hunger will be more than satisfied.
