Such a wonderful experience!!! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and had heard about Michael’s Steaks and dinner was absolutely incredible!!!! We had the Lobster Bites and I got the Prime Rib dipped in Andria’s sauce and char broiled. It was the best steak I’ve ever had!! Absolutely an incredible experience. Such a beautiful atmosphere and ambiance. Our waiter Brian was amazing and the owner came by twice to check on us! I highly recommend Michael’s Steak Chalet!!!

Absolutely loved this place! The views alone are worth the visit—absolutely stunning and the perfect backdrop for a great evening. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, filled with fun and friendly people that make the experience even better. The food? Fantastic. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. It’s one of those spots where everything just comes together—ambience, food, and great vibes. Can’t wait to come back!

We find ourselves returning to Michael’s time and time again because of how great the food is how amazing the staff is and the incredible unmatched views if you’re looking for a dining experience at the Lake Of The Ozarks I highly recommend it

Absolutely gorgeous view of the lake from the outdoor seating. I don’t know how anyone would sit indoors if the weather allows you to be out. The atmosphere and service we top notch and the food was delicious. They are pretty busy on Friday and Saturday nights so keep that in mind for the outdoor seating and wait time.

I celebrated my birthday at Michael's last Thursday evening. We had reservations for outside dining. Much to my pleasant surprise, we were seated under the roofed patio where there was live music! So enjoyable! We are long time fans of Michael's...so as usual, food and service were top notch! Can't wait to go back!

Kimberly Smith

The best steak I have ever had, hands down!! We had the best table, seated on the outdoor patio overlooking the lake. Highly recommend 👌

All I can say is WOW! My new favorite restaurant on LOTO!! We sat on the patio and the view from the cliffs was spectacular. Our waitress and all staff were so friendly. Food (I had a 6oz filet) was grilled to perfection. I didn’t check out the wine list but the “by the glass” selections were great. I had the Quilt Cabernet. We all tried the carrot cake for dessert and it was delicious. 5 stars for me!

Joe Kofron

This is an amazing gem at the lake. The atmosphere is that of a Swiss chalet right on the water. Beautiful lake views. The food was amazing. The menu is extensive. The prices are reasonable for the lake and the portions were very large. Our drinks were perfect and our dinner companion raved about his lemon drop martini and perfect prime rib. My husband’s burger was top notch. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The twice baked potatoes and the salad were delicious. All of the food coming to other tables looked equally as great! We will definitely be back!

I don't leave many reviews, but I read a lot of them! Michael's Steak Chalet...Hands down the best dinner meal we have had in our 25 years at the Lake. From the fried lobster tail and salad to the prime rib and our waitress LeAnn! Highly recommend!
