October is an excellent time to dine at JB Hook's because it happens to be National Seafood Month, and we just happen to serve the best seafood at the Lake of the Ozarks ! Our menu is filled with amazing variations on all types of ocean and freshwater fish dishes. Benefits of Eating Seafood First and foremost, one amazing benefit of dining on seafood is the fact that it tastes fantastic, but that's not the only reason you should focus on these menu items when you sit down for a meal. There are lots of health benefits to eating a diet that includes fish. It is recommended that you have at least 2 servings of seafood every week for proper nutrition. Most seafood is packed with omega-3 fatty acids. This particular nutrient is extremely heart healthy, can reduce blood pressure and depression, and may reduce tissue inflammation, alleviating symptoms of arthritis. Seafood is also an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.   Our Delicious Seafood Menus No matt...

According to popular belief, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and people generally make a big deal about dinner too, but what about lunch? In our opinion, this midday meal is highly underrated. We offer the best lunch at the Lake of the Ozarks and an incredible view to enjoy it by.  Those of us here at JB Hook's did a little digging, and we came up with a few interesting facts about this midday meal.   Lunch was originally called "dinner," and dinner was referred to as "supper." The word "lunch" is short for "luncheon" which is a meal typically eaten at midday. Those two words originated from the German "lunchentach." Working through lunch can actually cause poor performance at your job, and often doesn't allow you to get your job done any sooner. Leaving the office for lunch is a great way to break up the monotony and boost your energy for the other half of the day. Skipping lunch is bad for your m...

When we claim to be the best fine dining restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks , you might think that we are just tooting our own horn. (We are a little biased... we love this place!) The best way for us to get the word out about JB Hook's in a way that people will really believe is through the opinions of people that have dined in our Lake of the Ozarks seafood and steak restaurant.  Reviews are an excellent tool for customers to find businesses that they can trust. There are lots of sites online that are very careful about the reviews that they print, making sure that they are authentic before sharing them with the public. This gives the people writing the reviews the confidence to be honest, and those reading them the faith that they are real. Here are a few recent reviews about JB Hook's that our customers shared online.   " Everything was perfect! I got the steak and shrimp dinner and I couldn't have asked for anything more delicious! The steak just melte...

The wonderful men and women that voluntarily defend our country and everything that it stands for are very important to us. JB Hook's is not alone in the pride we feel for these wonderful Americans. The lake area has a couple of family friendly events this weekend honoring our veterans.  Hot Summer Nights - "Vettes For Veterans" The final Hot Summer Nights for 2016 will be taking place this Friday, September 9 , on the historic Bagnell Dam Strip , just up the road from your favorite Lake of the Ozarks fine dining restaurant . According to the event's Facebook page, there are already 76 Corvettes signed up to parade the strip, each carrying a veteran, and they expect to have more signed up before the weekend! This annual patriotic parade will begin at 6 pm, so you will want to make sure you have your spot to watch the parade well before that time. Flags will be passed out to onlookers to wave proudly during during the procession. In addition to the incredibl...
