The food is pretty good! we love some GLUTEN FREE options! most of their menu can be made gluten free! Drinks are decent depending on what you get! they have a kid friendly pool as well which is nice compared to other locations with pools. This is our first pick of restaurants that are lake front when we come down to the ozarks! I ordered the fish tacos. They had a lot of flavor on top but the fish was somewhat plane. i would love to see a blackened fish or bang bang shrimp taco! The Skinny margarita was very strong.

They have probably the best Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich in the area, and if you haven't had one, the tenderloin is about the size of the plate. The onion rings were too notch as well. It's not a craft cocktail bar, so don't get your hopes up in that regard, but the beer is cold and the whiskey is plentiful.

A solid place to stop by!…read more We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there's a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside. We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you're there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks. If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there's the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There's bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn't have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn't enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would've hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren't getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we're all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help. For those who don't know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn't a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.

There was a 5-10 minute wait to be seated which was not bad at all. Of course this was off season, so can't imagine what peak season is like here. Waiter knew his stuff well. Explained the specials and what to expect. I ordered a sirloin steak. Medium rare. Ordered it with fries and the veggies off the day. We got our Caesar salad and it was good! About 10-15 minutes later got our meal. Fries were perfect. Veg was nice. Steak however was medium well. I brought it to the attention of our waiter and he promptly apologized and took it back. Got a new one back in about 10 minutes. Steak was medium well again. I mentioned this and he offered to take it back, but I refused. Kinda disappointed for a steak spot that they can't cook to temp perfectly. It was fairly tough to cut through and could have used more seasoning. The sear and grill marks were perfect. I tried my friends salmon and it was perfect. So if you come here, skip the steak and go with the fish.

Our first visit to Encore and it definitely won't be our last!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The upper level has a more upscale feel, with a beautiful dining room and an incredible covered outdoor space complete with a stage for live music. The massive windows and stunning views overlooking the peninsula make it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. As for the food... wow. I had the crab legs, which were cooked perfectly, but can we talk about the green beans for a minute? They were ridiculously good. If licking the bowl in public wasn't frowned upon, I might have considered it. Colin ordered the salmon, which was absolutely beautiful and served with rice pilaf. Chris went with the crab-crusted walleye, and it was cooked to perfection. Emma Grace chose the giant pretzel, and giant is an understatement, it was the size of a dinner plate! It came with an assortment of charcuterie-style accompaniments that were fantastic all on their own. Then came dessert, and somehow things got even better. The bread pudding was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat bread pudding often, but this one may have ruined all future bread puddings for me. We also shared the cheesecake and cookie skillet, and every bite was delicious. To top it all off, our waitress Makayla was absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience even better. Great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Encore knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be making a return trip next summer!
