You can order food to eat as well as take home fresh seafood to cook at home. It’s ALL good is you crave seafood at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Take out only, but best Chinese food at the Lake of the Ozarks and close by in Laurie MO. Large portions, and if you want extra protein, just ask “add $4 more pork”. Closed Sundays and Mondays but open for lunch and dinner (order by 8pm because they close at 9pm and are very popular). A local favorite so call in your order.

Taboo Ice Cream and Grill
200 N Main StBig breakfast! Home of the enormous sweet roll and they also serve lunch. My favorite is the sweet roll, enough for 6 people, and the pork tenderloin. My husband John likes the Country Breakfast with bacon. No matter what you order, you will need a take home container.
