Big Cedar Lodge

Come, join us in a casual dining experience that combines the best of southern homestyle fare with the rustic elegance of a decades old log structure, steeped in history as rich as the sumptuous desserts prepared by our chefs.

There is no mystery as to what attracted entrepreneur Jude Simmons to this slice of Ozarks wilderness. The gentle hillsides were an ideal backdrop for his rustic getaway that would reflect the grandeur of Adirondacks lodges and entertain in casual elegance. The home featured native materials, including a huge stone fireplace that still warms our dining room when fall and winter chill the air. Today, hand wrought metal chandeliers cast a warm glow over antique furnishings and our 100 year old mahogany bar. Bark covered logs and exposed rafters are a fitting complement to the sporting gear and animal mounts that adorn our walls in the Bass Pro tradition. Outdoor balcony seating is an option as weather permits.

So, indulge in the comfort of our past and present as you savor the taste and aroma of hickory smoked prime rib, capture the flavor of Praline Rainbow Trout, or select one of our local Ozarks favorites. Breakfast and lunch buffets are served daily and our popular Champagne Sunday Brunch highlights the week with made to order omelettes, a complete range of breakfast items, delicious lunch entrees, and those wonderfully rich desserts.

One of the original structures on our property, this charming little specialty shop once served as the garage for its owner. While the interior has been dramatically redesigned, the exterior still reflects its 1920s Tudor style and quaint charm. You may choose indoor or patio seating.

Breakfast is a great time to visit. Our fresh baked pastries and giant muffins top the list of favorites, but if you're looking for heartier fare, we'll prepare traditional breakfast treats as well.

You'll be drawn to Truman Smokehouse by the aroma of hickory smoke emanating from our chimney and, once inside, you'll discover a tempting array of smoked chicken, ribs, brisket, and sausage. Add some of our delicious sides and you've created the perfect meal.

Hot afternoons signal the taste buds that it's time for something ice cold and refreshing. We can rise to the occasion with icy drinks and soft served yogurt or smoothies. We're open for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon through the summer season. At other times, our schedule is subject to change.

A former country retreat for Frisco Railroad executive Harry Worman, this elegant setting is home to our elaborate Champagne Sunday Brunch. No effort is spared to bring you the finest in culinary offerings amid luxurious surroundings.

Select from fresh fruits and breakfast breads, salads and charcuterie, delicious hot entrees, omelettes cooked to order and Belgian waffles, freshly carved meats and delectable desserts. Some traditional favorites are served weekly, while our chefs prepare a variety of special offerings each Sunday.

This amazing setting, perched high atop the Ozark Mountains, will astound you with its commanding view of Table Rock Lake and its lushly forested hillsides. The former home of Dr. and Mrs. M. Graham Clark, it has been redesigned to house one of the Branson area's premier dining experiences. The decor communes successfully with its outdoor environment, which has achieved Audubon Signature status as a result of a rigorous ongoing commitment to providing excellent wildlife habitat.

You may choose indoor seating surrounded by native stone and timbers, hand wrought metal and glass chandeliers, and finely detailed appointments or, perhaps you'd prefer outdoor terrace seating amid the sights and sounds of nature.

Whatever your decision, you're sure to be delighted by our menu. Signature selections include housemade pasta creations to suit every taste, wood-fired pizza topped with your choice of favorites or, perhaps, a few things you've not tried before, and the ever popular rotisserie chicken roasted over select hardwoods with our own blend of seasonings. We also offer USDA prime beef and grilled pork, seafood creations, salads, and sandwiches. Ask to see our excellent dessert menu including our list of specialty coffees.

While many are spending their special occasions with us, our atmosphere is comfortable and you're always welcome in casual attire. We open at 11:00 am for appetizers or a cool drink after your round of golf. Whenever you arrive, you're sure to be greeted with a smile and lots of warm Ozarks hospitality. If you happen to be treated to one of our phenomenal sunsets, it's an extra special end to your day.

Just downstairs from Devil's Pool, you'll find a warm welcome at Buzzard's Bar. Legend and superstition were instrumental in naming this comfortable retreat, and while we don't expect you to find any live buzzards lurking in the shadows, you certainly will find an excellent selection of specialty drinks. There's comfortable seating indoors amid antique appointments and the usual collection of furred and feathered friends, or you may choose an outdoor setting on our patio or overlooking the pool.

Our menu offers many of the same delicious entrees as Devil's Pool and we boast our own great selection of sandwiches and salads for people on-the-go. Our housemade soups are great as a companion or on their own. Sweet potato chips accompany our sandwiches and you'll want to try our very own blueberry poppyseed salad dressing, the house specialty, served both upstairs and down.

On weekends and other selected evenings, we'll feature local entertainers playing and singing all your favorites.
