Big Buoy's Restaurant & Bar 12051 Missouri 13, Kimberling City, MO 65686

"Family-friendly atmosphere! We were so impressed with Miguel and his wit. He joked around with our whole family (7). Everything was so good. We went on spring break weekend, we didn't feel rushed and were able to just sit back and enjoy the veiw of the lake. Our dishes were fried pickels, cheese curds, tropical tacos, boom boom tacos were all very good. Worth stopping for. Even the fries were soft inside, crispy and well seasoned outside The horse tacos were bland, not bad not great. Kids: cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and fries and chips & salsa. Our picky eaters enjoyed them all. Our kids loved siting out on the patio and watching the lake and birds. They had various dish that please tiny minions. Miguel was very patient with their indecisive minds. We had age 17, 8,7,5, and 2. The portions were big enough for our eight year old. And our picky two year loved their good fries and cheese burger. They we able to modify a little to please my picky eaters. And when things went sideways, the staff was able to help us out and made it so we didn't have to feel guilty about the very large mess. The staff didn't even blink twice before offering assistance"

"Rachel was the bestest best server ever. She was friendly and chatted with us. Food was amazing, and funnel cake fries taste better than at the fair. That was also recommended by Rachel herself."

"Great stop on the lake from table rock. Place was clean friendly and the food was great. We had the tropical tacos and I would definitely recommend them. The corn salsa was great. The staff seemed to be knowledgeable and offered a special, which is always nice because you know someone behind the scenes is informing the staff and training daily. Keep up the work."

"First time here and definitely will not be our last. Brisket grilled cheese was very tasty, thought it might have a bit more cheese but was really good regardless. Big buoys tacos were excellent, great flavor. Nice sitting on back deck but deck railing blocks the view, it would be better if they had high tops there rather than at the side of the building."
