Big Buoy's Restaurant & Bar

I get to Kimberling City about once a year. So glad that they have a new restaurant! Plenty of available seating inside and out. Nice beer and food selections on the menu. The Smashburger was excellent with a mix of rib meat and brisket added in. The fries and onion straws were really good. Nice atmosphere with great staff and service. We look forward to returning next year!

This place is fairly new. So glad the wife and I stopped in coming from dogwood canyon. If your in the area stop in please!! First of all, the employees were super friendly! The food was FANTASTIC! I had the classic hamburger and my wife had the salmon. The food, the drinks (margarita, beer and the Hawaiian Hurricane) were spot on! Please visit if you get the chance! Oh…….and the back deck outside seating was….👍🏼😃😉 GREAT!

Great food, not your typical country cooking. Shrimp tacos were delicious, spicy in the best way. The service was excellent. Lovely large dining room, bar(s) and decks overlooking the water. The patio is huge, with live music from 6 to 9 the night I was there. A delightful place to chill and enjoy the view, but there is a large game/play area too. Definitely come as you are casual.

We showed up with a party of 22, and they accommodated us with smiles. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. We even had a child with severe allergies and they accommodated her as well. Highly recommended Big Buoys!! Thanks to Bart and his staff for the excellent service!!!

Good lunch, ice cold drinks and a great addition to Kimberling City. We had brisket street tacos and chips and salsa. We’ll definitely be back.
