Our Favorite Restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks

Some of the best cuisine in the Midwest can be savored right here at the Lake of the Ozarks. Boasting with over 100 plus restaurants: bar and grill burgers, barbecue, buffets, world-renowned chef creations and all types of ethnic offerings. Here are a few of our favorite restaurants at the lake.
We want to hear from you!  What is your favorite restaurant when you’re visiting the Lake of the Ozarks?
Olive Branch Restaurant
Olive Branch Restaurant

May your time at the Olive Branch be a new beginning for you. Look around you at the friends and family enjoying the good food and fellowship of this place. Many a new beginning got its start over a good meal, and many a person has felt at peace and in harmony with the world after a time of fellowship and dining. It was for this purpose that the Olive Branch came in being. It is more than a restaurant; it is a gathering place once again just as it was when it was a church. As you leave this evening, perhaps you will hear the cooing of the dove calling the human family to peace, and if you are truly fortunate, perhaps you will see a dove in flight with an olive branch in its mouth.

A Summer Introduction to SPF

Sunscreen

Summer means warm weather, long days at the Lake of the Ozarks, and yes, sunburns!

We all know people who tan and others who do nothing but burn. The most important thing to keep in mind in these glorious months is to protect your skin.

So, what’s SPF stand for anyways? It means “Sun Protection Factor”.

When you’re walking through Wal-Mart or Target, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the wide variety of sunscreen.

About.com gives us a little more insight into SPF:

A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 filters 92% of the UVB (or sun rays that penetrate the upper layers of skin). Put another way, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will delay the onset of a sunburn in a person who would otherwise burn in 10 minutes to burn in 150 minutes. The SPF 15 sunscreen allows a person to stay out in the sun 15 times longer.

Here are some sunscreen tips to keep in mind this summer:

  • Buy a sunscreen that is at least SPF 30.
  • Even though a sunscreen is water-resistant, be sure to re-apply at least every two hours (especially if you’re swimming in the lake)
  • Be sure to apply sunscreen at least half an hour before going out in the sun.
  • Look for the words “broad spectrum”, as it will do better at protecting your skin.

Protect your kids. Protect yourself. And have a whole lot of fun!! Summer was meant for memories to be made!
