Brisket & Eggs, Anyone? Here’s Why Barn-B-Que Is The Perfect Way To Start A Day At The Lake

Do you know why breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

It has nothing to do with your metabolism. No, breakfast is the most important meal because Barn-B-Que serves breakfast.

Located on Horseshoe Bend, Barn-B-Que is known for its awesome BBQ served in an authentic, rebuilt century-old barn.

But what’s less-known is that Barn-B-Que serves breakfast, and this is the worst, best-kept secret at Lake of the Ozarks. So while we could all have been excused for not immediately thinking of a BBQ place when we think about going out for breakfast, there is now no longer an excuse. The word is out. Barn-B-Que serves breakfast, and it’s dang good.

In the busiest days of the summer vacation season, Barn-B-Que’s breakfast is served every day of the week. But as vacation traffic dwindles in August, the restaurant has returned to its rest-of-the-year schedule: open Saturday and Sunday for breakfast, and open daily for lunch and dinner.

Hurry, because this article is bound to send LakeExpo readers in droves.

So when you go, here’s a peek at what to order...

To Eat

Brisket & Eggs

Move over bacon-and-egg farm plate. From now on, this is the right meat with your eggs. All the excellence of Barn-B-Que brisket is here: the tender, juicy meat just loaded with smoky flavor. Two hearty slices of brisket accompany eggs and hash browns on the plate. An excellent decision if you’re not sure what to order. Plus, later you get to casually tell people, “Breakfast? Oh, yeah I had brisket and eggs.” No matter what task lies ahead, you will succeed because you had brisket and eggs for breakfast.

Pulled Pork Breakfast Bowl

Unbelievable. You won’t believe it when you see it. This thing is huge.

Let’s deconstruct the Pulled Pork Breakfast Bowl, from the bottom up:

Hashbrowns…

Scrambled eggs…

Peppers…

Onions…

Mushrooms…

Mountain of pulled pork…

Melted American cheese…

Two thick strips of bacon.

Tap into your inner hobbit, because you will have some left over for second-breakfast!

Brisket Breakfast Burrito

Honestly this would feed two people. Everything that belongs in a breakfast burrito is here, PLUS brisket!

Bacon, eggs, onions and peppers, cheese, and a giant tortilla (where do they get these tortillas?) And it’s not as though the tortilla is wrapped a whole bunch of times. No: this burrito is loaded with awesomeness.

A word of warning: don’t focus so much on the main entree that you overlook the breakfast potatoes. These are fabulous: cooked with bacon and onions, they’re salty and packed with flavor.

For me, the Brisket Breakfast Burrito is the one I’d go back and order again and again. The crispy fried tortilla, the smokiness of the brisket… this one is a 10 out of 10.

Veggie Omelette

Eat your veggies! Easily done with this giant omelette that’s loaded with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. Barn-B-Que’s omelette menu has something for everyone: the Silo Omelette has sausage, peppers, and onions and is covered with sausage gravy; the Farm Hand Omelette features smoked brisket; and there’s plenty more. Grab a fork!

French Toast

The ultimate breakfast indulgence!

All you need to know is that the french toast is excellent. The smell of cinnamon rises from the generous stack of frenchies, and you’ll probably have to fight-off your companions if you’re planning on keeping all of the eight wedges to yourself.

To Drink

Bloody Mary

The infamous breakfast drink makes an impressive appearance at Barn-B-Que. Rich and savory, and garnished with… well, whatever you want, really! A hearty drink for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Sunrise Mimosa

Bright! Fruity! Sparkly!

This one’s a fun sipper to start a special day.

An excellent companion for the French toast if you are in for an especially sweet start. But it also goes wonderfully with the more savory menu items too.
