The Best Burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks Are Made at Dog Days Bar & Grill!

A quick look through the menu at our waterfront restaurant & bar at the Lake of the Ozarks shows you that we offer a wide variety of different types of food. For example, if you're craving savory seafood, incredible salads, specialty nachos, gourmet tacos, fresh Beach Bowls, or signature entrees, we've got you covered. (And that's not even all of it!) 

Today, however, this blog is focusing on another favorite food from Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach. Here is a closer look at our Chef's Signature Burgers! (What we believe to the be the best burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks, but we'll let you be the final judge on that.) With generous patties, fresh toppings, and the addition of one of our delicious side dishes, these burgers are each a fully satisfying meal.  

Chef's Signature Burgers
All of the burgers served at Dog Days are made up of a half-pound of quality Angus beef. It's a mixture of 60% chuck, 20% brisket, and 20% short rib which creates a full-flavored, juicy, make-your-mouth-water burger! 

You are welcome to start from scratch and make your own burger creation with the toppings of your choice. First, though, check out the incredible signature burgers that our chef came up with this year. Also, you may upgrade the bun on the following burger creations with a gluten-free bun or a pretzel bun for a small additional charge.

All American
Topped with American cheese, or you can substitute the cheese of your choice. (Listed below) It's served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on the side. 

The Ozark 
Sharp cheddar cheese spread, pecan-smoked shoulder bacon, and bourbon BBQ sauce served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on the side. 

The Old Fashion
Two thin quarter-pound beef patties smashed on the griddle and topped with sauteed onions, American cheese, and pickles on a brioche bun.
