Come Out For Hoagie Day!

Did you know that there is an entire day dedicated to hoagies?? Every year on May 5th, Hoagie lovers unite to celebrate a delicious day. Luckily for you, you have the best hoagies at the Lake of the Ozarks located right down the road at Casablanca! Our hoagies aren’t just your average sandwich, though. We bake ours especially in our brick oven for impeccable flavor, and each sandwich comes with our legendary cheese blend, Roma tomatoes, caramelized onions, Aioli sauce, and a bag of chips. You’re not leaving here hungry! Keep reading to learn more about our hoagie sandwiches, as well as some fun facts about hoagies to celebrate such a momentous day!

Fun Facts About Hoagies

1. The original “hoagie” is what is now referred to as an “Italian Hoagie.” It includes a variety of traditional Italian lunch meats, including dry salami, mortadella, capicola, and provolone served with lettuce, tomato, and onions with a light vinegar and oil dressing.
2. Former Philadelphia mayor (also once Pennsylvania governor) Ed Rendell declared the hoagie the “Official Sandwich of Philadelphia”.
3. Most hoagie shops offer single-meat hoagies (for example, ham or salami hoagies) as well as premium hoagies with upscale ingredients: prosciutto, imported Italian lunchmeats (cotechino, mortadella, soppressata, etc.). A popular variant is the grinder or cosmo, which is essentially a hoagie that has been toasted under a broiler.
4. Many takeout shops in Chicago sell a “hoagy”, usually containing steak and other ingredients, with the option of being “heated.” They also sell cheesesteak, referred to most often as “Philly Steak.”
5. In many areas, the default cheese on a hoagie is Provolone, while in others it is white American cheese. Cheese-only hoagies (Provolone, American, or Mixed) replace the meat with extra slices of cheese.

The Hoagie Menu at Casablanca

The Italian

This is your standard, delicious hoagie with Capicola, Salami & Ham on a locally baked hoagie roll. We’re all about flavor and this sandwich has it!

Testimonials About Your Favorite Pub

Casablanca at the Lake of the Ozarks is well known as one of the best bars at the Lake of the Ozarks. We provide an amazing atmosphere, great food, and of course, incredible beer. You don't have to take our word for it! Here are only a FEW of the raving reviews that our incredible clients left about us in 2017 and we wanted to share them with you!

Busy For A Good Reason 

"Came for dinner with my wife on an oddly warm February Friday night. We sat outside and the beautiful weather complemented the great food, solid service, and friendly clientele. It's certainly crowded--ten minutes before we left, we already had a group of women asking if they could lay claim to our table--but it's worth it.

We went simple with the food, with a salad and a Margherita pizza. The salad was excellent, with what tasted like house-made blue cheese dressing. The pizza was thin crust that had a nice mix of chewiness and burnt crispiness (in a good way, not a bad way). Pretty cheesy, with rich pesto sauce, but we were starving so the non-diet approach was perfect. 

Beer selection was acceptable (I'm a snob) and the waitress was sharp and friendly. We will definitely be back." - MJennings, Columbia, MO

Love It!!!

"Came here with another couple on a Friday night. Had appetizers, drinks, and dinner. Found a great table with a wonderful waitress who treated us well the whole time we were there. The food was fabulous especially the pizza. Drinks were cold and mixed well. The entertainment was fun and we had a fabulous time singing along with the crowd. Loved Cheryl's voice and she's a real sweetie.
It was packed so get there early!" - Wolfgangtaffy, Camdenton, MO

To Go

"Working an event at the lake. Stopped in to get a pizza to go. Fresh from scratch hot and delicious!! Pizza crust is amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive." - Tim D.

Best Pizza Anywhere

"The pizza is all made from scratch by hand. Rick will hand toss your pizza dough right behind the counter. All the ingredients are fresh or local homemade like the sausage. These pizzas are superloaded with ingredients and cooked to perfection. In the brick pizza oven. Try the JordanMeister or Cheryl Doormman, my favorites. And many craft beers and the Calzones are always great too." - Carl B. Edwardsville, IL

Best Pizza By Far!!!

This very quaint restaurant provides the best pizza at The Lake! Rick is the chef providing the most unique, delicious custom pizzas. I suggest you sit near the cook station for a performance that will be unforgettable! Try the Carole with anchovies!!!!!!!" - Al P P, Osage Beach, MO

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.

🍺 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??

Lake of the Ozarks History

The Casablanca building was constructed back in the late 20's and became the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks in the 30's - so if anyone knows about Lake of the Ozarks history, it's the oldest bar at the Lake of the Ozarks! The Lake of the Ozarks has been a vacation destination for years and years, but just two years ago we were voted THE vacation destination in the country by USA Today! When you're looking for a place to travel that is filled with fun, water activities, great music, and even better food - you come to the Lake of the Ozarks. Our family-friendly destination has seen a lot in the last hundred years, so we want to talk about a bit of history trivia for the area.

Bagnell Dam History

The Bagnell Dam construction project began on August 6th, 1929 by the Union Electric Company of St. Louis Missouri. It was called the Great Osage River Project and was considered the most skillful engineering feat of its day. Yet, only four months after the project began, the stock market crashed. The mammoth Bagnell undertaking continued on, though, and it brought growth and expansion to central Missouri. Some 4,600 workers were employed at one time, among 20,500 total individuals over two years.

About Bagnell Dam

Once the area was cleared, the reservoir was outlined, and the Osage River was impounded and the lake began to fill on February 2, 1931. The lake was opened to travel on May 30th, 1931. The lake reservoir covers 92 square miles which is around 54,000 acres. 30,000 of those acres were cleared to complete the project.

Fun Facts About the Lake

• At roughly 1,150 miles, the total shoreline of the Lake of the Ozarks is longer than the coastline of California.
• Roughly 3.5 million tourists visit Lake of the Ozarks from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
• Lake of the Ozarks covers 61,000 acres and contains 617 billion gallons of fresh water, what the city of St. Louis typically uses over a decade.
• At 17,741 acres, Lake of the Ozarks State Park is the largest park in Missouri.
• The total cost to build Bagnell Dam was approximately $30 million (nearly $360 million in today's money). The lake runs 92 miles end to end.

Hoagies VS. Grinders

Hoagies vs. Grinders. Have you ever gotten into a debate about these terms? While they aren't Midwest terminologies (so you may not have actually argued about them before) they have a definite story and history behind each one, and may actually be different sandwiches entirely. Here at Casablanca, we serve both, and we wanted to take the mystery out of them for you! Before you come out to your favorite restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, here are a few things to remember about a hoagie and a grinder.

The Hoagie History

There are actually many theories describing where the term "hoagie" comes from. Some refer to an Irish man named Hogan who asked his wife to make him a sandwich similar to the ones that the Italians ate, while others surmise that eating one made you look like a hog - eventually converting to "hoagie." The most believable story though, surmises that the Italian Americans who worked on Hog Island making ships would take sandwiches stacked with cheese and meat on long round buns. These individuals were called "hoggies" because of their employment, and eventually, the sandwich earned the name as well. Due to the dialect of the Philadelphia accent, it then because known as the "hoagie."

What sets the hoagie apart from its counterparts? Well, it comes from Italian origins and is generally served as a cold sandwich. It is stacked high with cold cuts like salami, ham, and turkey, and is known for coming in ultra long lengths.

At Casablanca, we boast of brick-oven-baked hoagies, and we put our own spin on this popular sandwich that is packed with flavor. Each includes our legendary cheese blend, Roma tomatoes, caramelized onions, Aioli sauce & a bag of chips.

The Grotto

Canadian Bacon, thinly sliced Ribeye & pepperoni on a locally baked hoagie roll.

The Italian

Capicola, Salami & Ham on a locally baked hoagie roll.

Ham & Cheese

Fresh Italian roll filled with freshly sliced ham, our legendary cheese blend, and finished with our specially seasoned greens.

The Grinder in the Good Ole Days

The grinder isn't a common term the farther south you travel, mainly because they are most popular in the New England area. There are also many rumors about where the terminology and name came from for this sandwich. Some say it's because the dock workers that ate the sandwich were called "grinders", while other say it's because the bread was so hard that you had to grind it to get a bite.

Grinders are different than their counterparts in that they can be served hot or cold, and generally, are served with meatballs or chicken breasts instead of the cold cuts that you'll find on a hoagie.

Grinders at Casablanca

We've got two delicious grinders at Casablanca that will be a perfect way to end your evening, start your weekend, or really just any meal you can get away and come down to the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks!

The Kendra

Peppers, fresh mushrooms, onions, roasted garlic, Roma tomato slices, artichoke hearts, black olives, pizza sauce & our five cheese blend on a fresh baked Italian bun.

The Meat A Ball

House-made meatballs covered in our house pizza sauce & cheese blend served on a fresh Italian roll.

Dining at the Best Restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks

Casablanca has both of these delicious sandwiches on our menu, and we look forward to serving you when you come out for a meal. Not only do we have great sandwiches, but we also boast of delicious pizzas, burgers and more. Come out for a beer, a burger, a sandwich, and enjoy a great time at your favorite local bar at the Lake of the Ozarks! We look forward to serving you.

Fun Facts About Casablanca

Casablanca resides in one of the oldest buildings on the Bagnell Dam Strip. Because of that, it's filled with fun facts, lots of history, and incredibly fun moments. We can't tell you how many thousands of people have been through our doors, and the thousands and thousands of memories that have been made within our vintage walls - but we CAN tell you about some fun facts about our restaurant, the history behind it, and more!

Casablanca History

The Casablanca building was built in 1928. When it was first opened, it was actually the first Lake Ozark Post Office and not the bar you've come to love. When the prohibition ended in 1933, Casablanca was born. The Casablanca bar remained for the next 65 years, serving vacationers, guests, and locals alike the entire time. In 1998, Casablanca was then sold and renamed to Slick's Biker Bar. It's no secret that bikers still love our bar, and being located on the Bagnell Dam Strip definitely helps with that. Every month, Hot Summer Nights comes cruising around, and every year, the Lake Ozark BikeFest comes rolling through.

Eddie & Sharon

In 2003 the building was bought back to a prior Casablanca customer and renames back to Casablanca. Just one short year later in 2004, our very loved Eddie Jordan bought the bar and ran it until 2012. In 2012, the Brick Brothers purchased the building from Eddie on New Year's Eve evening while having a drink with Eddie.

The Brick Brothers have been managing your favorite Lake of the Ozarks restaurant, and since have remodeled the basement and turned it into Casagrotto. Eddie played a HUGE role in our restaurant's history, and it is with great sadness that we say he left this world in January 2017.

Fun Facts About Your Lake of the Ozarks Bar

Any building that has been through as much as our will have some fun facts! Check out these CRAZY things about our restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks.

1. The basement was a speakeasy during prohibition.

The Boomchux bring an old-style country sound to the stages of the Lake of the Ozarks - in the best way. This string band shines with the sounds of guitar, upright bass and steel guitar playing Old Time Western and Swing Revival. You won't want to miss their music at Casablanca! They'll be playing at the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks on Friday, May 26th  - you won't want to miss it.
