Lake of the Ozarks is an escape and that means not having to cook on vacation! So when it comes to finding mouthwatering meals on the water, locals and tourists alike love the always-memorable Paradise Restaurant & Bar.
Even if you've never been, you’ve probably seen it at the 24 Mile Marker, those colorful, multi-decks beckoning boaters for a taste of the tropical. And from those decks, the view of the Lake is remarkable, with Paradise's position right on a bend in the channel.
It’s clear the staff takes pride in the service and menu too, which offers a variety of tasty food and drinks for everyone.
On top of the restaurant, Paradise has the cheapest gas at the Lake! As of this writing, fuel is $2.99 when you spend $15 at the restaurant.
Find Paradise at the 24 Mile Marker.
No boat? Drive to Paradise at 430 Tropical Trail in Sunrise Beach.
The view of the Lake is amazing once inside the open-air establishment. There’s also plenty of entertainment with live music Wednesday-Sunday, TVs for game day, an arcade, and yard games.
If you need more reason to try it out, Paradise is a sister restaurant to Tucker’s Shuckers, Malted Monkey, Neon Taco, and Franky & Louie’s!
Ready to discover Paradise? Here’s a few menu items to consider during your visit…
To Eat
Asian Salad
A refreshing twist, this vibrant salad features seared ahi tuna (or chicken) atop a crunchy mix of kale, red peppers, carrots, mandarin oranges, and wonton crisps. It’s tossed in a bold house-made peanut dressing, with a spicy ginger sauce that adds serious heat.
Cajun Chicken Pasta
Blackened chicken brings a smoky edge to this rich, creamy pasta. Served with sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach over fettuccine, it’s a hearty, flavor-packed dish with just the right amount of kick.
Butterfly Lemon Shrimp
Light and full of garlic-lemon flavor, this sautéed shrimp entrée is served with seasoned green beans and crispy Parmesan-coated potatoes. A solid option if you want something filling but not heavy.
Blackened Bird – ADD Pineapple
A favorite among staff, this blackened chicken sandwich is anything but dry. Wrapped in provolone and paired with a juicy slice of pineapple, it’s sweet, spicy, and served with golden fries.
To Drink
Prickly Paradise (Mocktail)
A no-alcohol refresher with a blend of prickly pear and lychee purées, finished with fresh lime and lemonade. Bright, balanced, and great for a warm day.
Paradise Mojito
This fresh spin on the classic uses muddled strawberries and mint, mixed with Flor de Caña silver rum and a house-made simple syrup. Clean, cool, and just the right amount of sweet.
Jalapeño Margarita
Jalapeño-infused Sauza Gold tequila sets the tone for this bold drink, balanced with citrusy lime and a tangy sweet-and-sour mix. Rimmed with a house salt blend for an extra bite.
Nectar of the Gods
Served frozen in a pineapple (for an additional, totally-worth-it cost), this tropical blend of rum, peach schnapps, mango and strawberry purée is smooth, fruity, and made for vacation mode.
