Our Awesome Appetizers Get a Lakeside Meal Started Right!

The menu at our waterfront restaurant & bar at the Lake of the Ozarks begins with appetizers that will tempt you to start your dining experience off deliciously before the main meal shows up. When you hear "appetizer," small portions may come to mind but that's not the case at Dog Das Bar & Grill! Our starters are served as great big helpings fit to feed a hungry crowd or even be a main dish for one. 

Check out what we have on our appetizer menu for this season. Have the car keys (or boat keys) close by too, because after you read this, you're going to want to head on over to the Dog!

Crab Legs
Sweet, succulent snow crab legs boiled in our southern spices and served with garlic butter and lemon. Sold at market price by the pound, with 2 clusters per pound.

Avocado Relleno
We take a fresh avocado, cut it in half, hand-bread those halves, and fry them to a gorgeous golden brown. Then they are stuffed with sweet and spicy sauteed shrimp, Texas caviar, and a roasted tomato and jalapeno cream. Try it beach-style and keep it fresh rather than fried.

Southern Fried Chicken Tenders
Hand-breaded chicken tenderloins fried golden brown and served with buttermilk ranch of BBQ. For an extra flavor boost, try them tossed in your favorite wing sauce!

As we mentioned above, this starters menu is intended as an appetizer to whet your appetite before the main meal arrives. There are lots of other ways to enjoy these amazing dishes too. For example, if you aren't sharing, any one of these menu items is more than enough to serve as your lunch or dinner. 

They are also great for a mid-day or after dinner snack when you need something to munch on or to pair with a lakeside cocktail or two. You might share this mini-meal with a few friends between lunch and dinner to keep your energy high enough for an entire day out on the water. 

However you decide to enjoy the amazing appetizers at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach, the important thing is that you get yourself over here this season and give them all a try at some point! Our Lake of the Ozarks lakeside restaurant & bar's season is just revving up, but it's going to be a long, incredible one with lots of chances for you to enjoy it all!
