An authentic American restaurant with a great bar - that's the idea behind Baxter's. We're perfect for just about any dining occasion or gathering that calls for great food, warm, personal service and an inviting, casual atmosphere. Our classic American restaurant builds on the rich history and tradition the Lake Area is known for. We use only the finest, freshest ingredients, coupled with personal service and warm, inviting surroundings. We're happy to bring this dining experience to the Lake of the Ozarks. Baxter's is the perfect place for a business or casual lunch, a special evening out, a family get together after a long day on the Lake, or 'just because.' We can accommodate most any group from an intimate dinner for two to a business or family party in our private dining room. And don't forget our classic American bar, one of the Lake's great places to meet friends and family.

We've been coming to Baxter's for our anniversary for over 20 years. The view is what brought us to Baxter's in the first place, the service and the excellent Manhattans are what keeps us coming back.

We went for our anniversary and the food was excellent! My husband had the filet mignon which was extremely tender almost melted in your mouth. Cooked perfectly medium rare. He had a baked potato which came out hot;as some places you never know what you will get. I had the special that evening which was the prime rib. It was very good. I chose the wasabi smashed potatoes, both meals came with asparagus. Since it was our anniversary we received a complimentary desert along with a free photo taken of us. Our waitress was amazing. 10 out of 10 if you are looking for a nice night to celebrate or just gather with friends.
