SPICY Spring SAMBAL Menu at Dog Days!

It's time to spice things up a little bit!

When you're looking for an extra exciting night, come on out to your favorite waterfront restaurant and bar at the Lake of the Ozarks to enjoy our spicy, exotic Sambal Menu - available only for a limited time at Dog Days Bar & Grill!

What is "Sambal"?

In its simplest form, Sambal is a spicy Southeast Asian condiment made from chile peppers and salt. A more elaborate Sambal may contain onion, lime juice, lemongrass, sugar, garlic, oil, and/or vinegar. You can find Sambal in a jar or bottle at an Asian food market - or in the international aisle at the grocery store.

There are many different varieties of Sambal. Sambal Oelek is the kind you're most likely to find in the United States. We have been experimenting with this sauce this spring, and we're now very excited to offer these all-new food and beverage options at the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks for those who like it a little spicy.

Spicy Spring Sambal FOOD

Happy Thanksgiving from Dog Days!

Thanksgiving is finally here! This is such a great holiday weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. Families are reunited, football games are streamed from every television, and tables are buried underneath more food than anyone can possibly eat. Even though we're currently closed for the season, the team at Dog Days Bar & Grill is super excited to celebrate this wonderful holiday weekend with our friends and families.

Origin of Thanksgiving

The very first Thanksgiving feast was held in 1621. The Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth Rock and settled in the New World the year before. Unfortunately, that first winter proved extremely harsh and over half of the settlers did not survive. The next year, however, they reaped a bountiful harvest. The surviving Pilgrims held a great feast to celebrate their good fortune - and thus, Thanksgiving was born!

Thanksgiving was celebrated annually for many years before it became a federally recognized national holiday. President Abraham Lincoln finally declared Thanksgiving a federal holiday in 1863. After that, the actual day people celebrated Thanksgiving continued to fluctuate until Congress passed a resolution declaring Thursday would be celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. 

What Are You Thankful For?

This is a holiday designed to give us time to recognize, celebrate, and give thanks for the wonderful blessings in our lives. It is a time to relax, to feast, and to tell those around us how we grateful we are for their presence in our lives. We thought it would be appropriate to take some time to personally thank all of our loyal customers for making Dog Days one of the best waterfront restaurants on the Lake. We wouldn't be what we are today without you all!
