Burger Day at the Best Lake Bar & Grill

If you love sitting down to a huge, juicy burger after a long day with an ice cold beer - we’re right there with you! Casablanca serves up the best bar food at the Lake of the Ozarks, and part of that includes the best burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you need a place to come and get ready for the Labor Day Weekend, come out to Casablanca for Burger Day on August 31st! Here is a preview of our burger menu to get your taste buds watering.


The Best Burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks

Our burgers are made with fresh ½ pound choice ground sirloin, served on local bakery grilled buns. They’re topped with lettuce, tomato, and sweet red onion, plus the variety of delicious ingredients described below, and they come with a side item and a dill pickle spear.
(Sides: French fries, homemade pasta salad, potato salad, or slaw)

Schwab Burger
Basically your standard burger in all its sirloin glory, simply topped with lettuce, tomato, and sweet red onion.

Blue 'Shroom Burger
Topped with our thick blue cheese spread, sautéed mushrooms, and bacon.

Black 'N' Spicy Burger
Covered in Cajun spices, blackened and topped with roasted red pepper and pepper jack cheese.

Tex Melt
Topped with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and crispy onion rings. Served on Texas Toast.

Casa Burger
Topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, and a seasoned egg over easy.

Smokin' Pastrami Burger
Topped with Swiss cheese and house smoked pastrami then finished off with onion straws and basil horseradish aioli sauce.


DID YOU KNOW?


Hamburgers got their name from Hamburg, Germany, and more specifically from a cut of beef called the Hamburg Steak. 

Americans supposedly consume 13 billion hamburgers a year, which is enough to circle the earth 32 times - and we’d believe it! This is one very popular choice! 

The Hamburger Hall of Fame is located in Seymour, WI. We wonder if they offer samples … if so, we’re up for a road trip!

Gettin’ Hungry?

Casablanca is the best place to come when you just want to hang out. We’re a comfortable bar and grill at the Lake of the Ozarks with a long history in the Lake area. Our restaurant was built back in the 20’s and has been a restaurant almost that long (it started as the first Lake Ozark Post Office!). While our restaurant may not be as old as the hamburger - we still provide the best ones around! Some come out on August 31st to celebrate Burger Day. Find a nice spot on one of our patio stools, watch the Bagnell Dam Strip buzz with activity, drink a cold beer, enjoy a juicy burger and enjoy an evening at the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. We look forward to seeing you!

Casablanca -  the best bar & grill and the best pizza under one roof!

Fun on the Bagnell Dam Strip!

If you haven't heard, this entire week is dedicated to the Shootout at the Lake of the Ozarks and we couldn't be more proud of such an incredible event. If you've never participated in this fun event, we would love to introduce you to all of the fun events that are happening surrounding it - including a party at Casablanca with special live music!

Shootout History

The Lake Rescue Shootout started in 1988 as an event in which many local boats participated simply to establish who had the fastest boat. As the years went by it became a bigger and bigger event that also helped supplement the Lake Area Fire Departments water rescue efforts.

NOW, the Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the US and named one of the nation’s eight “must-see” boating events according to Powerboat Magazine. The Shootout will take place for the ninth year at Captain Ron’s Bar & Grill in Sunrise Beach (Lake Road 5-50, mile marker 34.5). The event raises funds for eight Lake-area rescue teams and numerous other charitable organizations; last year, $195,000.00 to 34 different Charities and Fire Departments. The Shootout is alive and well and looking forward to the 29th year in August of 2017.

Hang Out on the Bagnell Dam Strip

While the Shootout takes place on the water, you can get out and participate in the Meet and Greet on the Strip TONIGHT, Wednesday 23rd from 5 to 10 PM. This is a fun chance to meet the drivers of the boats, take photos with your favorites, and see how COOL these boats really are up close and personal. Not to mention, it's fun to hang out on the Bagnell Dam Strip with all of the other people to enjoy this event. Of course ... let's not forget that your favorite restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is located on the Bagnell Dam Strip as well!

Celebrating Family History Month

We LOVE our family, and our family is YOU! We have such a great group of customers who enjoy hanging out with us for lunch or dinner any and every day of the week. While some of you have been dining with us for only a short while, we have so many customers who have been with us for DECADES! As a way of celebrating our Casablanca Family History, we have some fun facts for you about our restaurant! Do you have fun memories of our family history?? We want to hear YOUR stories!


The Casablanca History

Did you know that we have a very LONG history at the Lake of the Ozarks? The building that our restaurant resides in was built in 1928 - and we've been Casablanca since the 1930's (with a short break during the late 90's where it was called Slick's Biker Bar.), so our family history is quite the story! Check out our historical timeline!

1928: Building was built.
1929: Building became first Lake Ozark Post Office. 
1933: Prohibition ended and the building was turned into Casablanca.
1998: Casablanca was sold and renamed Slick's Biker Bar.
2003: Building was bought back by prior Casablanca customer and renamed back to Casablanca.
2004: Casablanca was sold to Eddie Jordan who ran it until 2012.
2012: Brick Brothers purchased the building from Eddie on Jan 20, 2012.
2012: Mayor declared Jan 20th Eddie Jordan day in Lake Ozark with parade and police escort.
2013: Basement was remodeled and turned into Casagrotto.


Fun Facts About Casablanca

When a restaurant has been around as long as Casablanca has, there's bound to be some fun facts to share! Check out these fun ones that you can tell others over a beer at the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks.

1. The basement was a speakeasy during prohibition - which is a tad bit different from the delicious pizza place at the Lake of the Ozarks that is has become now!
2. The walls and floors of our Lake of the Ozarks restaurant are from cut down trees during the construction of the dam.
3. Casablanca is the oldest bar in Lake of the Ozarks.
4. In the 1930's Bonnie and Clyde were known to frequent this establishment.
5. There are 27 TV's in Casablanca and it has a dedicated 15 ton A/C unit for upstairs.
6. The POW WOW PUB sign on the patio is the original one from the hotel bar.
7. Brick Brothers purchased Casablanca on New Year's Eve evening while drinking with Eddie.


If you've never been to Casablanca for a meal, we would love to invite you to come and make your very own family history with us! Bring the family, enjoy anything from burgers to brick oven pizza, and then come back year after year! The summer is winding down, but that doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to your favorite restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip. We are open all year long, and look forward to making many more memories with you. Happy Family History Month from Casablanca at the Lake of the Ozarks.

🍺 Happy Beer Day 🍺

Your favorite day of the year is finally here - BEER DAY! While we know you don't need an *excuse* to drink beer, this is always a fun way to pretend you need an excuse *wink*. At Casablanca in Lake Ozark, we know a thing or two about beer, and we take it pretty seriously. We have over 15 craft beers on tap, and the kegs of beer are kept at 28 degrees. They are then pumped through our glycol system which brings your favorite flavors to your frosted glass at 24 degrees - but enough of the beer science! Here are some fun facts about your favorite brew - and a few of the beers we have on tap just for you!



Fun Facts About Beer


Did you know that the world's longest hangover lasted four weeks after a Scotsman consumed SIXTY pints of beer??

Beer was not considered an alcoholic beverage in Russia until 2013.

In the land of the pharaohs of Egypt, beer was the national currency.

In Argentina, political parties have their own brands of beer - now THAT'S the way to get the votes *wink*.

In 1963, Albert Heineken created a beer bottle that could also be used as a brick to build sustainable housing in impoverished countries.

When choosing the right beer to drink, a general rule of thumb to remember is that the darker and bitter beers generally have a higher alcohol content.

162,719 pints of Guinness beer are wasted each year due to mustaches ...

The study of beer and beer-making has an official scientific name -zythology. It derives from the Greek word "zythos" (beer) and "logos" (study).

In 1814, almost 400,000 gallons of beer flooded several streets in London after a huge vat ruptured in the parish of St. Giles. Don't worry, we shed a tear over this sad news, too.

American president, George Washington, had his own brewhouse on the grounds of Mount Vernon - who else is ready to make some upgrades after learning this??

A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology estimated that a bottle of beer consumed every day can help reduce the risk of kidney stones by 40%! So, basically, drinking beer is following the doctor's orders, right??
