The former Ozark BBQ, a Lake of the Ozarks landmark and waterfront mainstay for years, was damaged by fire last week.

Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District Firefighters were dispatched to the fire, which first reported to be fully involved, at approximately 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 22.

The building is located at 608 Wings Circle, off Route TT, at the 11 Mile Marker of the Lake, in Sunrise Beach. Mutual aid was requested, and multiple agencies responded.

The restaurant has been closed for two years and the buildings were all vacant. According to SBFPD Fire Chief Dennis Reilly, on arrival firefighters found trash burning against a retaining wall on the Lake side, next to the former gift shop and gas dock. The fire was not extended to the main building. Mutual aid partners were cancelled en route. 

Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire before it could spread to the other restaurant structures and the multiple homes, in the mostly residential neighborhood.  

SBFPD responded with three apparatus and eight firefighters, including three SBFPD chiefs.
