Old Kinderhook

Man oh man, I am in love with Old Kinderhook!
I grew up going to Branson, and am just now on my first trip to Lake of the Ozarks. I’m sad it’s taken me this long to find this gem.
We had dinner for an event we’re having in the area at The Trophy Room at Old Kinderhook. Everyone from Bob the owner to the entirety of the staff went more than out of their way to bend over backwards for our group. We had a set menu which started with bacon wrapped shrimp, which I didn’t try but the people around me more than made up for by eating multiple orders.
The starter for us was the Kinderhook salad, which is INCREDIBLE. Seriously, I’m still bragging about my salad a week later – yummy ceasar dressing, a large parmesan crust around the salad and a giant croûton that was buttery and delicious.
I had the cheese pizza as dinner, which was crisp and very yummy. We topped the meal off with the banana split cheesecake, which was flavorful but not too heavy, which was great with the heat.
Overall, I was super impressed with my meal and will definitely come back on my own.

One of our favorite places at the lake. From casual beers and burger to five star steak and seafood. A can’t miss at the lake!

All brand new, absolutely gorgeous ! Beautiful golf course scenery. Room was immaculate and every area of the hotel, restaurants and grounds are pristine. Delicious breakfast at the Trophy Room and some of the best thin crust pizza. We’ll definitely be back next year !

Attended a conference at the new hotel. Beautiful facility.
The restaurant had both pub food and fine dining. The tuna taco was terrific. And I really enjoyed their steak, although it was cooked a little more than ordered. Wife had the rose pasta, was excellent.
Finally, I would like to say how pleasant and helpful the staff were. Great people, creating a great experience.

The only reason for the 2 stars is for the music entertainment that night and the onion rings!
We used to frequent here often for happy hour a few years ago and the good fried chicken. The view over the golf course was beautiful!
After returning now and new menu I am not impressed at all. We did not want to spend $ 32.00 to $ 40.00 per meal which is the average price for anything decent. So we all decided to choose from the sandwiches, but there was not much to pick from. Two of us got a $ 14.00 hamburger and the rest of us (4) ended up with the Blue Cheese Philly Steak Sandwich, which was $ 14.00 also. The burgers were big and tasty, but the Philly’s were pretty sad, hardly any meat in them, it was mostly all bun. Very disappointed, I mean really, a Philly with no steak in it! Maybe they ran out since 4 people ordered the same thing, or maybe they just like to over charge!
Now onto the view, 1^st of all we asked to sit outside on the deck and we were taken out there, there was plenty of empty tables over looking the course, when asked if we could sit at a table in that area the hostess said no there is no room, you will have to sit in this corner where you will fit. So we figured we would be put at a table that was large, but no it was the same size as the others and we were crowded in and in the pathway of the garbage removal, so several times they were carrying out large bags right next to us.
Although, the onion rings were great, large and crispy and they did have an awesome 2 man band, we won’t be going back!

Food was excellent. Shrimp and grits and the linguine were great. I’ll be back. It’s a great atmosphere looking out over the golf course. There’s fire pits on the terrace. They go out of their way to make their customers happy.

We returned to the Trophy Room today. We had a great meal! We started with oysters on the half shell and the ahi tuna appetizer. For entrees we had the filet and the shrimp and grits. We love the view if the golf course and the friendly servers (we had Ashley).

Had dinner this PM at the Trophy Room and had the special fried chicken dinner. The chicken was very greasy and burnt. the dinner included cold slaw and mashed potatoes plus a biscuit. We requested a baked potato as a substitute to the mashed the waiter said they might be a small up charge but would check with the chef. Upon receipt of the bill the up charge was $ 5.00 per potato on top of $ 18.00 for the chicken dinner. Totally a rip off for what was served and the quality of food. Will not be back anytime soon.

Amazing dinner! The lobster and filet was incredible. Only place on the lake that serves silver oak cab by the glass and bottle! It’s a must visit for casual or special occasion! Mark was our server and he was so great!!! We will be back!
