Cinco de Mayo, Harbor Hop, & the Homegrown Festival... Oh My!

Last week's blog, "Big Weekend May 6 & 7: Spring Harbor Hop AND The Homegrown Music Festival!" gave you most of the details about those two incredible events happening this week at Dog Days Bar & Grill. (We've got a few additional details for you below, too!) There is one more reason to party with us this weekend, and that happens to be Cinco de Mayo. It's going to be a fun-filled 3 days at the Dog!

FRIDAY - Cinco de Mayo
Our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks may not be your first thought for this holiday, but once you get a look at our tacos and nachos, it will be from now on! In addition to the delicious dishes below, we've got some amazing margaritas mixed up behind the bar for you, and of course, the ever-popular Corona. For your entertainment pleasure, we'll have Travis Marvin rocking the Dog Days stage too.

-Terrific Tacos-
These amazing variations on your typical taco are served with curly fries, or you can sub a signature side for $1.50 more. We've also got sour cream and salsa available upon request.

Spicy Beef Tacos
Ground beef, shredded lettuce, cheddar jack cheese, pico, and roasted tomato and jalapeno ranch.

Asian Shrimp Tacos
Sauteed teriyaki shrimp, crisp cabbage, pico, and shredded pepper jack cheese.

Spicy Beef Nachos
Seasoned ground beef, pico, jalapenos, cheddar jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and roasted tomato jalapeno cream sauce. You may also substitute chicken.

For a Limited Time - Dog Days' Mahi Mega Menu!

Last month, our Sunny Spring Specials Menu was a huge hit. How in the world do we fill the void it has left? Well, with May's equally amazing Mahi Mega Menu, of course! Your favorite waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks always has a little something extra-special in store for you when you visit, and this month it's all about this mild, almost sweet, tropical fish and the delicious fruity flavors that complement it so well.

Dog Days Bar & Grill has come up with a delightful food and drink menu that will tempt your taste buds. Not only is it mouth-watering, but it's good for you too. Mahi is an excellent source of extra lean protein. It's also low in both saturated fat and sodium, and it's rich in niacin, vitamin B-12, phosphorus, and selenium, providing about 400 mg of omega-3's. Take a look at what our chefs have created to make you forget how healthy it is and simply concentrate on the deliciousness.

Mahi Mega Menu

Mahi Fingers

Hand breaded and fried to a golden brown. Served with a honey habanero dipping sauce.

Mahi Tacos

Spicy Mahi filets seared and placed in flour tortillas with crisp cabbage, pico de gallo, and jalapeno lime sauce. Served with black beans and rice.

Island Mahi Wrap

Blackened Mahi, roasted red pepper rice, black beans, and pineapple drizzled with sweet Thai chile sauce and Sriracha aioli inside a sun dried tomato wrap. Served with your choice of side.

Asian Mahi Sandwich

Mahi filet char-grilled, topped with grilled pineapple, Char-siu and sauteed leeks on a spicy brioche Bun.

Crab Stuffed Mahi

Mahi filet stuffed with snow crab meat, cream cheese, and fresh herbs. Topped with a smoked Gouda and roasted garlic cream sauce. Served on a bed of rice with a side salad.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Yellow cake baked with pineapple and cherries, with a brown sugar and pineapple whiskey brown butter sauce.

Drink Menu

Pineapple Whip

Whipped vodka and pineapple juice. Tastes like it should be served from a roadside stand with a Hula Girl on top.

Mango Moscato Creamsicle

Cruzan Mango Run, Moscato Wine and mango puree blended with ice cream.

Nada Coloda

Pineapple rum, coconut rum and Sprite Zero. Light and refreshing. Tastes like a pina colada, but it's not!

Watermelon Mojito

One of our freshly muddled mojitos with a splash of watermelon puree.

Banana Cream Pie

Banana liquor, Irish Cream and vodka blended with ice cream and banana puree. YUM!

Honey Beamernade
We mix fresh lemon and mint with Jim Beam Honey and Minute Maid Lemonade.

Mother's Backyard Cucumber Saison
Light, crisp, golden saison with fresh cucumbers and hints of citrus zest. Comes from Springfield, Missouri.

Those refreshing drinks from our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar are the perfect complement to the island flavors of May's Mahi Mega Menu. Now that we've made you hungry, get on over to the Dog before these treats are gone at the end of this month. Just in time for the 19th Annual Spring Harbor Hop this Saturday, May 7, 2016, you'll have the chance to draw a winning poker hand at Dog Days Bar & Grill while you enjoy a taste of the tropics. We're sure you'll be back often this May, and wait until you taste what we have in store for June...
