We saw so many negative reviews but were looking for a fun place on the water. We definitely found it with Larry's. We were there on a slower Saturday, but everything with the service, food, and views were great. You have to consider this is a floating dock. The drinks were great. The pork tenderloin was a huge portion that was super crispy and tasty. And the fries and onion rings were great. Would definitely go back, though we can see that it could be packed and maybe have some wait on super busy boating days. read more

The bar service was fast and reliable. The waitress was anything but. To be fair looked to be just on waitress and a rather lot of ppl do to Harbor hop. However it seemed to be just our table ordering food. It did come out fast which isn't surprising since it was just a plate of cold nachos. If you are looking for a fun and affordable place to drink on the water definitely suggest. Definitely dog and kid friendly with tons of games and water bowls. read more

Drinks were great. Food was hot and fresh. The problem I have is that my daughter ordered the kids chicken strips. $8.99 (2 finger and fries). I ordered the adult portion. $15.99. So for $7 more what do you get? I can tell ya. 1 more chicken finger. (3 total). What on earth are you thinking? read more

We have visited Larry's on the Lake several times since we bought a condo on the lake. We have never been disappointed with the food or service. The ambiance, you cannot beat sitting in the patio watching the lake and feeling breeze. Even on the very hot days it was comfortable. We, my wife and I, have made it our favorite place and have taken visiting family members there for a great lunch experience! read more

Awesome ! Had the blackened fish sandwich, onion rings and pasta salad ! Same thing I had last time because it's so delicious ! Landon was our server and ROCKED. Worth the trip by land. read more

If half stars were allowed, this would be 3.5. We came by boat and the girl was very helpful getting the boat tied. It was Sunday afternoon and they had live music playing. Great atmosphere...on a dock. The service was a little slow, but we were expecting that after reading several reviews. I had a frozen mango margarita, which was delicious. We shared the nachos and shrimp tacos for lunch. Both were good. read more

Great spot on the lake with an awesome crew. Food and drinks were great and timely. I appreciate the hospitality I was shown while I was there. My puppy Remington enjoyed the sweet potato fries and all the attention he got... thanks girls!! read more

Larry's On The Lake - Remington and Daisy - American Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

The vibes of this place were great and the drinks were delicious! The food however, was just okay. The restaurant is floating on the water which is really fun and there are fans around to keep cool. You can also see, and some people fed, some fish in the lake. The drinks we ordered were great and reasonably priced. We ordered the disco fries after seeing good reviews but we did not like them. The fries themselves were great but the queso on top of the fries was not good. It was like a gross cheese sauce that tasted a little funky. I ordered the shrimp basket with fries and enjoyed it. It was your basic fried shrimp but still good and loved the fries! My friend ordered the shrimp tacos and was a little disappointed. The shrimp on their were fried, which we knew when we ordered but it would have been better with unbreaded shrimp. Then it was supposed to be topped with a zesty aioli but it was more like a French dressing which was just not good with the tacos. Then the mango salsa was essentially pico with mango mixed in, which was okay. If I were to go back, it would be for the drinks and the vibes! I would order the shrimp basket and maybe try the Hawaiian sandwich because that looked good. But I recommend staying away from the shrimp tacos and the disco fries! All in all, we had a good time and the staff was nice! read more

Truly, if we could give ya'll more stars we WOULD!! Great atmosphere. Server Jan and manager Sean were really great. Answered all our questions and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. They took great care of us, including some menu item issues we had. WOW. The food was more than amazing, seriously. We had a great time sitting outside watching the boats and people come and go. Really enjoyed Amy (?), the 16 year old guitar player and singer perform. read more

skip it, unless you just want drinks. Nice layout, food is bad, chicken wraps were canned chicken, possible thrown on a grill. Grilled chicken salad, chicken was so dry and overcooked, ranch dressing was the consistency of water. so many other close places that are way better. read more

Waited over an hour for food. Only one table had food. Appetizers and drinks delivered in a decent timeframe. Food took forever and didn't taste great. Stopped coming during covid but tried again only to be reminded of how bad it truly is. Fries so salty couldn't eat, food cold. Used to be the spot, our favorite, but sorry to say we won't be back. read more

Only floating bar on the lake! Great atmosphere, awesome food and a super friendly staff. Always something interesting going on here wether it's a bags tournament or fireworks or live music. I must see at the lake! Everyone really knows how to have fun!! read more

Larry's On The Lake - Upstairs bar from dock view. - American Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

Took too long.I can't believe food took 1 hr and 15 min to get food. Food was ok , not really worth it. Don't recommend this place.

Surprisingly yummy and entertaining place to have lunch or dinner after a trip to Bridal Cave. I had the fish strips (fantastic) and my friends had a simple cheese pizza (crisp and tasty). The chicken strips are generously portioned pieces of breast meat, and the onion rings looked fab. Everyone in our group was happy with both the food and the service. A huge covered dock is fun to sit on during the warm months (and protected us completely from torrential downpour). A great recommendation from the awesome park rangers/staff at Bridal Cave and only an 8 min drive. Thanks, Larry's! read more

Larry's On The Lake - The main restaurant from the dock - American Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

I like this little place. Boat and wave runner parking. You can also get there by vehicle. You sit out on a large covered doc with a nice bar. Food good, nothing fancy but perfect for what you arrive for. Good mixed drinks and an all around great atmosphere. Sometime service can be a little slow, but look around while you wait and enjoy the scenery. The only negative is that the bathrooms are quite a ways from the doc. Other than that, its all good!! read more

They are close to my condo so have eaten there a few times. The food is okay and reasonable priced for a lake side restaurant. Service was okay read more

Service was great but the food sucked ordered fried pickles were burnt and no flavor Nachos were even worse.

Geeze what is going on. Tuesday not too busy. Most people are drinking. We show up about 6ish with about 12, 7 being kids. Leaving now at 8:40 pm as the food never came out. We were told about 30 minutes initially since only one cook. You can do the time math. We were told about an hour into it that food was plated and just getting sauces. I forgot! One meal actually came out...the larry burger. Smaller than a half pound and was cold to the touch. I mean cold. Inedibly cold. Complete fail. One server crying because they knew it was a shit show. Another saying they didn't care since it was their last day. I'd suggest trying somewhere else. Oh and drinks were eh... read more

Great atmosphere! Usually have live music or a DJ on the weekends. Went over Memorial Weekend and were happy they had removed some tables to practice social distancing as much as possible- still was a great time. Food is ok- my son swears the fish is the best ever- he loves it. Drinks are always great and service was great this weekend! read more

Garret is the best! He was very nice, and it was a good day. Mile marker 31 catch him there

We had our first boat ride of the season yesterday (5/11/22). It was dinner time--we didn't want to stop the fun and decided to pull into Larry's. I expected the norm - lake bar food. Just average then regret. We were proven wrong. Garrett our server was AMAZING!! Very attentive - running around (literally running) and very personable. We ordered fried green bean appetizer - WOW!! Very crisp and tasty!! Had the catfish nugget basket and the Buffalo chicken wrap. The food was ON POINT! Catfish nuggets were crisp and the meat was so white and flaky -- highly recommend!! The wrap was DELICIOUS. You can tell they took their time to prepare it and just didn't throw it together. What a wonderful surprise - I hope the new staff at Larry's continue this amazing service and quality of the food---we will be back. Thanks again Garrett--you're the man! read more

Four Seasons, Lake Ozark, & Osage Beach lakeview restaurants are LUCKY that Larry's on the Lake is in Camdenton, or this place would steal everyone's business. Great pretzel burgers, great atmosphere, great lake view, great service, great menu, and they are sooo dog friendly and have awesome daily specials unique to the area! Long story short, I had a HORRIBLE experience with Shorty Pants Lounge in Osage Beach and Larry's on the Lake saved the day! Shorty Pants advertises and allows dogs when they feel like it... One day, I made a 25 minute commute with my 12 lbs dog and Shorty Pants kicked me out. I stumbled upon Larry's and called them to see if I could bring her. Not only did they apologize FOR Shorty Pants, they welcomed us with doggy treats & a water bowl! Great place!! And check out the photos I added! read more

service is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun! a must-visit on your trip to LOZ for the summer

My parents, my girlfriend, and I were hanging out at Larry's last night laughing and having fun. Then all of sudden, the owner decided to light a firework on the dock and it was extremely loud and scared all four of us. It was irresponsible, and childish. My dad is a 16 year older veteran and has PTSD. My girlfriend grew up in a really bad environment and a neighborhood where there were constantly shootings. She thought somebody was shooting at us along with my dad thinking the same thing. We went back to the cabin, and they both had panic attacks. This was not okay. I will NOT be going there EVER again. Not only that, they had a HUGE bug problem. Which i understand it was an outside thing, but every time i went to take a sip of my drink, i pulled AT LEAST two bugs out of it. I was NOT impressed. We wanted to order food, but the kitchen was closed? It wasn't even late so i'm not sure why that was a thing. After my dads wife had gone to ask who just set off the firework we were told it was the owner. He told us he warned us. Which he did NOT. otherwise, we wouldn't have been so scared. I had to go up twice to ask for drinks due to there being no servers. The place was basically empty, and the music was no fun. I only gave this place one star because the app makes you. If you want a bug filled drink, horrible service, and childish acts from the owner, this place is the one to go to! read more

I checked out several restaurants on the lake because I wanted shrimp for dinner. I checked the menu and it said beer, battered shrimp. So I went to Larry's on the Lake to get shrimp. Ordered shrimp and it came back as coconut shrimp. I check the menu and it did not say anything about coconut. I had to pay for it they took eight dollars off but I had to order another dinner. I will not go back. read more

Service is great food is great! Fried green beans are delicious and the bartender dealt with our drunk asses needing food after being on the lake all day! read more

Larry's On The Lake - This place has awesome food! Server worked her butt off! - American Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

I love the looks of this place and always go back to give them another chance. However I always regret it The service is so horrible! The food is very overpriced for the amount you get. the outside area has a huge fly problem. I realize we are outside and that happens. however, there are so many flies. i have been to many outdoor lake restaurants and none have been this overwhelming with flies. this last time i was there the waitress literally was sitting at a table talking to friends. we had no drinks refilled or bill when done eating for 40 minutes! i had to go over to the table twice to ask for my check and she said be right there but still didn't move. i will NEVER go back to this place again. don't be fooled by the looks of it. save your money and spend at the fish company or naughty fish. amazing service and food at both. read more

This is one of my family's go-to places on the lake but this past weekend I was sadly disappointed. I ordered the crab legs and they were brought out without any shuckers and no reasoning why. I asked the server and was told they were all being used. I then asked the waiter about 10 minutes later if there were now any clean ones so I could actually eat my food and he looked at me stunned, basically saying they just don't have any and whenever he asks the kitchen staff they don't know where they are. I thought it was terrible customer service to not tell me this ahead of time and then serve me food without the proper utensils. What a waste of $33 when you have to bare hand the crab legs only to get half the meat out of it. read more

We went for late lunch and arrived by car not boat. The limited off-season menu was available (covid, I get it) but the food was terrible. Sweet potato fries were soggy; taco salad shell was stale and the salad itself tiny. Music was super loud and distasteful. Seating is plastic picnic benches that are uncomfortable and easy to trip over. It would be helpful if lifejackets were available for kids since the restaurant is floating and feeding fish on the edge us encouraged. Seems like the location is all its got going these days. read more

Sit in a parking lot here at Larry's we went down sat at a table on a Friday afternoon at approximately 345Friday went to the table. Sat there 22 minutes exactly never got waited on not once it's not busy at all very few but I have a picture of all the waitresses standing there and standing against the railing of the dock just bullshitting with everybody but not waiting on us I have to say we got up and left very poor service extremely poor read more

Excellent food! Friendly and attentive servers! Lakeside live music and dining. Live music by The Dirty Strings is a must see.

I completely agree with what Cathy R. said. This was the absolute worst service I've ever received and I've been to a Popeye's in Staten Island. If I wanted to eat catfish nuggets that fall below the line of my catholic school lunch ladies, I would just jump off a cliff and hope I caught one once I sunk to the bottom. this place is absolutely horrendous and I would rather suck on a gas cap than give them my service again. also our server had small arms. read more

A complete disaster. 2 hours for food, long wait for a drink. Go somewhere else. Apple pie shots were great, however

Long wait time for food, but will come to the table five or six times for a drink order. Waited close to an hour last time we were there. Too many other establishments on the water who do not make you wait. read more

Lower your expectations. Although the atmosphere is cool they never get the orders right. Half of us received our food and most of it was wrong. When we finally found our waitress, we questioned it and the waitress did not know what was on the sandwich and claimed it was right. Arguing with us about what was on the sandwich when it clearly says on the menu what was supposed to be on it. After half of us got our food it took another 20 minutes for the rest of us to get our food. No one seemed to care or try and remedy the situation. We never received an apology or offer to comp with the exception of one item. In addition, they weren't able to split our checks and we had to scramble to do ious and figure out how to pay our friends back. Then when we went to pay they informed us that their credit card machine was down. We then had no way to pay for our food. Overpriced, inattentive, inconvenient, and inconsistent. read more

Larry's On The Lake - This was my side salad. Little to no effort into their overpriced food. - American Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

Larry's on the Lake (or Larrywood as we like to call it) is quite a surprise. We didn't eat here, but the menu sure did look tempting. The drinks are some of the best, with Mango Margaritas at the top of the list! Prices are very reasonable and very transparent, which isn't always the case! We also loved their super creative 5$ shots- try a Blueberry Pancake! Trust me! Our waitress was hilarious, great service! read more

Heard this place was great but it's just delicious drinks with unappetizing burned burgers. Yes they are cooked on a grill open flame but that doesn't mean they should be crispy and charred. I don't know how their apps are so maybe they are good. I can tell you they weren't very busy and the table next to us wanted to order, pretty sure the server said they are behind.. so they got up and left, I feel bad for the servers. I hope the kitchen gets it together before summer hits, Good luck. read more

I so want to like this place. The location and atmosphere is really nice. However if don't plan to spend 3 + hours here to eat your going to be disappointed. I come here every couple of years and each time remember why. The kitchen is too small and too far from the dock. read more
