As a Local, I Hate to Give Away One of Our Best-Kept Secrets... But Palasota's Is Just Too Good Not to Share
If you're headed to a concert at the Ozarks Amphitheater, do yourself a favor and swing by Palasota's in Camdenton. Just minutes away from the venue, it's hands-down one of the best places to eat in the entire lake area.
The slow-smoked ribs and brisket are next-level -- tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The smoked chicken is another favorite, and I always order extra just so I can make homemade nachos the next day. Trust me -- they're off the hook.
But the half-pound sandwiches? That's where I get in trouble. The bread-to-meat ratio is perfect, and the portions are huge. Honestly, if I don't stop myself, they'll have to roll me out the door. I usually save half for later... but sometimes "later" ends up being 15 minutes in the car.
Friendly service, fair prices, and food that never misses. Whether you're a local or just visiting for a show, Palasota's is a hidden gem worth finding. Just don't tell too many people -- we're trying to keep it our secret. read more
