The Lake Shack Cafe is located adjacent to the Area 71 RV park/gas station, and near Campbell Point Park and Campground, as well as numerous local boat launch opportunities. It's a very convenient nexus to all that Table Rock Lake offers. It's a great place to relax and unwind after a day on Table Rock Lake.
The staff are friendly, service is excellent and the menu selection has its own local flavor. They also have a great selection of ice cream on the menu, good with the kids. Alcoholic beverages are on the menu as well, good with the sunburned parents.
Seating is indoor/outdoor, and very expansive for a cafe, during peak season, enough to accommodate the hungry throngs that inevitably come in from the Lake in summer. It has a combined small town feel with an abundant influx of tourists. It's a great mix for a good chill without that "big chain cookie cutter feel."
If you like cafes that have their own independent feel, as I do, this place is a great quaint cafe with its own ambiance, especially when things rock during tourist season.
