Residing on 92 acres of serenely wooded property and tucked into the quiet Crabtree Cove is a lakeside resort and delicious waterfront restaurant: Papa Chubby’s Food & Booze.

Like the name suggests, customers are able to enjoy the typical bar and grill scene, but with some twists. The updated menu keeps the favorites and features a range of food including sandwiches, pizzas, salads, entrees and more!

The family-friendly atmosphere is a perfect place to spend sunny days. The cabin-esque feel gives a touch of nostalgia that flows into the airy covered seating and outdoor picnic tables. There’s no need to be sad when the warm season is over either, because Papa Chubby’s is open year-round!

Located on the 26 Mile Marker (or 820 Serene Valley Drive, Sunrise Beach, MO 65709 by land), you’ll find a slice of paradise right on Lake of the Ozarks.

With a sand bar and swimming beach, live music every weekend during the summer, and a gift shop with cool merch, you’re sure to have a good time.

For your visit, here are some menu items to consider:

What To Order At Papa Chubby's

To Eat

Reuben

Sandwiched between lightly toasted marble rye slices is tender and juicy corned beef – the main feature of this dish. The flavorful meat is paired with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island. This sour and tangy sandwich is scrumptious with every big bite. And the fries! The house seasoning elevates the crispy potatoes perfectly.

Smashed Meatball Sandwich

Seasoned and baked in a housemade marinara, this meatball sandwich isn’t something you typically find around the Lake! Two Italian meatballs lay on soft French bread topped with mozzarella, which is toasted until it’s melted for that yummy gooey goodness. When you’re tired of the typical french fry side, try the crispy onion rings!

Dinner Salad with Shrimp

A fresh salad perfect for a light meal on those hot summer days. Stick to the basics with mixed greens topped with tomato, red onion, mozzarella, and your choice of dressing! Add some tasty shrimp to mix it up! If you’re going that route, just dig in with lemon juice. Or if you’re a saucy person, they recommend the house-made creamy garlic.

To Drink

Rum Confusions

Blending fruit rums and five different juices – pineapple, coconut, black cherry, strawberry, and blueberry lemonade – the only confusion you’ll have is how this tasty drink is actually a cocktail! Served in a large cup, this sweet drink goes down smooth. The flavors work together so well to create a perfect summertime cocktail!

Mudslide

This is dessert with a straw. Topped with a helping of whipped cream and drizzles of caramel and chocolate syrup, this frozen concoction is for the sweet-toothed! The coffee liqueur adds a touch of bitterness to balance out the cream. And you can’t forget the cherry on top.

Moscow Mule

Chilled to perfection in the copper vessel, mules offer a blend of zesty ginger beer and citrusy lime juice to pair with the subtle notes of vodka. If you want a unique and refreshing experience with every sip, try their array of flavored liquors!

Whether you’re looking for a serene waterfront experience during the day or live entertainment Thursday through Sunday, Papa Chubby’s is the place to be! To taste the good grub and keep the good times going, head to 820 Serene Valley Drive, Sunrise Beach or the 26 Mile Marker.
