If you’re looking for that laid-back, small-town Lake vibe, the Blue Cat Lounge delivers. Tucked inside the iconic Alhonna Resort—the inspiration for the hit show Ozark—this longtime favorite has been serving up good times since 1985.
Known as Bobbers for 56 years, the Blue Cat has nostalgic charm in this modern age. Inside, you’ll find cozy booths, a pool table, and a long wood-accented bar that feels like the kind of spot you’d gather for a class reunion.
The Blue Cat Lounge is open to all—whether you’re boating in from the 8 Mile Marker or driving up to 677 Outer Drive in Lake Ozark. The restaurant is open 7 days a week!
Guests lounging by the pool can grab food and drinks without leaving the water scene, thanks to the outdoor bar window. Whether you’re enjoying the view from the patio or cheering on a game inside, there’s no wrong way to soak up the good vibes here.
Of course, no visit is complete without something from the updated menu, which brings back fan favorites while adding new options. Here’s some suggestions for your next visit:
To Eat
Chicken & Waffles
A new standout on the menu, this dish combines sweet and savory in the best way. A large, fluffy waffle topped with butter is the base for crispy fried chicken that packs just a hint of heat. It’s a great way to start the day.
Fish Basket
Light, flaky white fish meets crispy, seasoned batter in this Lake-day favorite. Served with fries, a side of sweet-and-tangy vinegar-based coleslaw, and classic tartar sauce, it’s the kind of basket that hits just right.
Italian Beef Roll
Like a French dip, but maybe better. This hefty hoagie is loaded with thinly sliced Italian beef and melty mozzarella in a golden, crusty roll—served with a side of au jus for dipping. It’s tender, cheesy, and satisfying enough to share… if you’re feeling generous.
To Drink
Bloody Mary
Loaded with classic garnishes like lime, celery, pickle, and olives, this Bloody Mary is as much a snack as it is a drink. Bold, briny, and built to cure those morning ailments or get the day started…
