Table Rock Lake restaurants make boating days so much fun! One of my favorite weekend activities is to boat to restaurants on our favorite lake. I compiled an Insider’s guide of Table Rock Lake restaurants on the water, accessible by water or with a view! Bookmark this frequently updated guide for 2024 hours, menus, accessibility and so much more!
Discover restaurants and bars by boat or car with amazing food and beautiful views nestled on Table Rock Lake, in Southwest Missouri.
We are so lucky to have amazing restaurants on Table Rock Lake, but when we first purchased our home 7 years ago, we weren’t sure what restaurants were accessible by water, what they served and if they offered a courtesy dock.
This list includes location, courtesy dock information, tips, important details, hours, contact information and an interactive map to easily locate each spot. Save this list by using the bookmark feature in your browser to reference on your next trip to Table Rock Lake! Please note that each restaurant includes the most-up-to-date information available as of July 3rd, 2024.

Lake House Before + After
See our lake house before and after filled with easy-to-do ideas!
Hi Julie, love your blog! Very helpful.
One update, our Subway in Shell Knob has changed. It closed last year and has recently reopened as “SubMarina”
That has been updated, thank you!
Good list. Looks like the map you linked hasn’t been updated in a while. Several of the places you mention aren’t on it.
Thanks, Arlene! It is updated May each year. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the map was only missing Pier 28 which opened last June?
Thanks. What would you recommend for a good steak in the area. I hear about the Steak Inn in Shell Knob. Any others worth the visit?
We truly enjoy Vino Cellars for steak as well as Osage/Buffalo Bar at Top of the Rock, but neither are accessible by boat. Enjoy!
We love Vino Cellars, once a month they have a wine pairing with usually a 3-4 course dinner. Hope to see you there!
You’ll catch us there often!
I have moved to Table Rock Lake from Iowa and am so glad to find this information as we have a boat on the lake and didn’t know where to find restaurants on the water. Thanks so much for posting this information.
I hope you love it as much as we do! Welcome to the lake!
Julie, great work on this list. I’m bringing my fiance down for he rfirst trip from Colorado and I’ve been trying to explain how awesome the lake is. I forwarded her this page and she now has a better understanding and is so excited. We normally boat on Powell which is amazing but sparse when it comes to Marina’s and similar on the water. The lake is its own entertainment on Powell. Tablerock is the best of both worlds.
I hope you enjoy a wonderful time!
