There’s a fresh energy at Captain Ron’s Bar & Grill—and it’s more than just the breeze off the water. After a major facelift and expansion, this longtime Lake of the Ozarks hotspot is leveling up the entire experience for guests.
From an all-new permanent structure at the front entrance to the upgraded back patio with sleek garage doors, every detail feels brighter, better, and upgraded for summer.
One of the most exciting additions? The Cannon Smoked Food Truck, now parked permanently at Captain Ron’s. On weekends, guests can have a second round of food options. But you'd be remiss to skip Captain Ron's main restaurant: new GM Joseph Roy has revamped the menu with elevated offerings, pushing for flavor-forward dishes that go way beyond typical fare.
Of course, the lakefront vibe that made Captain Ron’s famous is still alive and well. With a wide, sandy beach, volleyball nets, and space to swim, it’s a destination built for both relaxation and fun.
Come by land 82 Aloha Ln, Sunrise Beach or boat at the 34.5 MM, grab a drink, and check out the new tastes and tunes. The only thing missing is you.

And for your visit, here’s a few menu items to consider…
To Drink
Blackbeard
Another fan favorite born from a March Madness-style drink competition, the Blackbeard blends Crown Royal Blackberry with lemonade and a splash of sour. It's got a sharper edge than your typical fruity drink, but still finishes on the sweet side for a refreshing, grown-up lemonade twist.
Tennessee Mule
This Southern spin on a classic mule is made with Jack Daniel’s, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice. The kick of the whiskey pairs perfectly with the zip of ginger and lime for a drink that’s crisp, cool, and easy sipping on a warm day.
To Eat
Hawaiian Beef Tips
A fresh addition to the appetizer lineup, these marinated beef tips are served with zesty slaw, crispy onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds—all wrapped in cool lettuce cups and drizzled with sweet chili glaze. Each bite is tender, juicy, and sweet with just the right hint of heat.
Salmon Po'Boy
For those looking to keep it light without sacrificing flavor, the Salmon Po Boy is a hit. Choose grilled or fried salmon, layered with crispy bacon and a smooth pesto aioli on soft bread. The bacon adds crunch, the sauce brings it all together, and the sandwich feels fresh but satisfying.
Seared Scallops
A more elevated entrée, these pan-seared sea scallops are served over long grain rice with a decadent house-made truffle cream drizzle. Finished with a side salad and your choice of a side, it’s a rich and elegant option perfect for a dinner by the water.
