Just off Lake of the Ozarks main channel is an extraordinary dining destination: a highly popular spot for casual dining, drinks in the pool, and a one-of-a-kind experience chillin' in a cave! It's The Cave Bar & Grill.
With plenty of docks for visitors and a wraparound pool that extends inside a natural cave, this is a must-visit waterfront restaurant for the summer.
Both out in the sun and inside the cave, there's ample space for families to spend the day and a fun way to escape the sun in a noticeably cooler environment, while enjoying good food.
Visit The Cave on the 3 MM of the Niangua or drive to 220 Forever Dr, Camdenton, by land.

Recognizable by the red roof, The Cave is the sister establishment of Redhead's Lakeside Grill. It features multiple bar areas, covered seating, and a newly paved lounge area (no more sand)!
Management hopes to complete the upper level by July 4th weekend; once it's done, it will offer an incredible view of the Lake.
Dig in to some delicious menu options at The Cave before you visit! Here’s a few items to consider:
What To Order At The Cave Bar & Grill
To Eat
Catfish Poboy
Served on a hoagie with fried catfish, leaf lettuce, local tomato, and tartar sauce, this sandwich is savory and delicious. The catfish is wonderfully breaded, providing a nice contrast to the fresh veggies. The hoagie bun is a great choice, with a soft interior and a crisp crust that adds delightful textures to every bite. Add a side of wild rice for a satisfying meal!
Caprese Chicken Sandwich
This sandwich features local tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, pesto, balsamic glaze, and a grilled chicken breast, all served on a toasted bun. The thinly sliced grilled chicken pairs beautifully with the herb-a-licious pesto.
The accompanying shells and cheese are a standout side, enhanced with black olives, red onion, corn, and bacon for a rich combination.
Shrimp & Grits
A Southern classic brought to the Lake, this entrée includes tender grits topped with grilled shrimp, bell peppers, onions, sweet corn, local cherry tomatoes, andouille sausage, and baby spinach, all seasoned with southern spices. The dish has a bit of a kick, but the creamy grits help balance the heat. The addition of sausage adds a distinctive flavor, making this a must-try.
