No Branson summer vacation is complete without spending at least one day splashing around Table Rock Lake. Book your summer trip with Branson Vacation Rentals and stay in one of our lake properties just minutes from the action. Rent a boat from a local marina and cruise around the 800-mile shoreline, enjoying the best swimming, fishing, and water sports the region has to offer. When you need a break from the sun, pull into one of the many fantastic restaurants on Table Rock Lake. Many of these eateries even provide courtesy boat docking, allowing you to cruise right up for a delicious lakeside meal. From family-friendly dining spots to vibrant bars featuring live musical performances, here are the best places to dine on Table Rock Lake:
1. Big Buoys, Kimberling City
Boat Docking: Courtesy dock just below the restaurant.
Join the fun at Big Buoys this summer. This restaurant in the middle of Table Rock Lake offers incredible views of the water along with delicious food, refreshing drinks, games, and live entertainment.
2. Indian Point Floating Cafe, Branson
Boat Docking: Six courtesy boat slips.
It doesn’t get any more on the water than the Indian Point Floating Cafe. This unique eatery is housed in a two-story marina that floats directly on Table Rock Lake, so you will literally be dining on the water. Enjoy all-day breakfast classics here, along with hearty sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
3. Lakeside Restaurant & General Store
Boat Docking: They offer 25 courtesy slips for boat-up diners.
If you are looking for a casual and affordable restaurant, the Lakeside Restaurant is a great option on the water. Call ahead of time to order a pizza, burger, or sandwich, then pick it up to enjoy on the boat. Or dine on their lakefront patio and enjoy the views with your meal. They also have a General Store on-site if you need any necessities for your boating adventures.
4. Pier 28 Pizza & Grill, Kimberling City
Boat Dock: 30 courtesy boat slips.
Pier 28 Pizza is another restaurant that floats directly on the water of Table Rock Lake. Enjoy a fresh slice of pizza or their famous pork tenderloin sandwich directly on the waterfront. It’s a great place to hang out with the family, listen to live music on the weekends, and enjoy delicious, no-frills food.
5. Rock Island Tiki Bar, Branson
Boat Docking: 25 courtesy boat slips.
If you are looking for something different from a traditional sit-down restaurant, Rock Island Tiki Bar is a great option. It features a brand-new swim-up bar where you can order a refreshing drink and relax in the pool. For a quick bite, check out their on-site food truck, and be sure to catch the live musical performances throughout the summer.
