March Madness Starts THIS WEEK!

College basketball fans everywhere look forward to the NCAA Division I Tournament anxiously each year. This week, it's finally here! Tuckers Shuckers will be showing all of the games and partying like only we know how through the entire tournament. 

The Games

The best place to watch sports at the Lake of the Ozarks is right here with us. We've got 28 HD TVs placed conveniently all over the restaurant, upstairs, downstairs, and even outside. At Tuckers Shuckers, there's not a bad seat in the house. 

The play-in games get the action warmed up on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, March 15-16. The brackets start getting narrowed down this year on Thursday, March 17, at 11:15 am. That's a great way to start St. Patrick's Day!  

The Drinks

Basketball and beer - what a great combination! With our 28 beers on tap, plus a wide variety in bottles, you won't go thirsty. Our talented mixologists are always ready to mix up all of your favorite cocktails. We've got a full bar downstairs, and another full bar upstairs, so plenty of places to belly up! 

The Food

We've got the freshest oysters at the Lake of the Ozarks, along with an entire menu full of delicious menu items to choose from. During Happy Hour, Monday-Friday, we've got an unbelievable half-price appetizer menu available, as well as specials on draft beer and house wine. 

Since the tournament officially starts on St. Patrick's Day, we'll be serving up corned beef & cabbage all day long on March 17. Don't be surprised if that beer you're washing it down with is green, too. 

Play Our Basketball Tournament!

We love watching sports, but we love it even more when we get a chance to play. That's exactly what we're offering our customers this year. No, not a spot on one of the teams in the actual tournament, but a chance to be the "Pop-A-Shot" champion of the lake area. 

Every single day, now through April 4, all paying customers can try their hand at scoring the most baskets. We'll take the highest scoring player daily and add them to our own bracket for our finals on April 4th at 8 pm. Not only will you get bragging rights, but we'll also throw in a $750 gift card for the winner!



Tuckers Shuckers is the best place to watch sports at the Lake of the Ozarks, and during March Madness, it's the best place to get in on the action yourself. All month long we'll be serving up the most delicious food and incredible drinks to the basketball fans that stop by. We hope to see lots of you during the tournament, rooting for your favorites.

St. Pat's Party This Saturday at Tuckers Shuckers!

The Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade marks the unofficial opening to the Lake of the Ozarks' summer season. Yes, we still have a few days until St. Patrick's Day, and few more after that before it's even spring, but who cares! The lake area is so awesome, we get a head start on all the fun!

The best bar on the Bagnell Dam Strip will be serving green beer and other specials all day long on Saturday, March 12, and our kitchen will be cooking up a bit of Irish flavor. Tuckers Shuckers will start the festivities early while the parade is lining up, and we'll continue partying well into the night. This is a day that you do not want to miss out on!  

The Best Place to Watch the Parade.

Tuckers Shuckers has a front row seat for the parade, and our upstairs balcony offers a unique birds-eye perspective on all the action. You don't even have to come inside to refill your beer because our bartenders can take your order from the window. We will feed you and keep your drinks full the entire time the parade is going on.

The 32nd Annual Lake of the Ozarks St. Patrick's Day Parade will kick-off at 1:00 pm, and the streets will be closed to traffic from 12:45 - 3:00 pm. This event always brings out the crowds, so make sure you get here early to grab your spot.

The Best St. Patrick's Party

Not only is our Lake of the Ozarks restaurant the best place to catch the parade, we'll be partying ALL DAY LONG! Our DJ will keep the live music going all day, and we'll have both Budweiser promo girls and 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey promo girls working the crowd with lots of fun goodies. 

A St. Patrick's celebration wouldn't be complete without corned beef and cabbage, so we'll be serving it up all day too. Wash it down with a green beer or a little Irish whiskey to really get the party started. In addition to all of this, we'll be featuring some incredible giveaways throughout the day. 

Feeling lucky?  

You don't need the "Luck o' the Irish" to have a good time at Tuckers Shuckers. It's nearly impossible to not have fun when we throw one of our parties, and our St. Patrick's blowout is going to be epic! Get here early and grab your seat at the best restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip, and expect to stay late. With us, the party just never stops!

We try our hardest to be the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks by providing the tastiest food, most delicious drinks, and best customer service in the area. When we get positive feedback from our customers after a visit to Tuckers Shuckers, then we know we must be doing it right!

If you haven't had a chance to check out our oyster restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip yet, maybe these kind words from satisfied customers can convince you to stop in soon.



"The best clam chowder ever! I drive three hours for it and the Corona Battered Fish and Chips."  ~Mary Mesa Hanson, Facebook review, 2/28/16

"Back in hometown for Christmas and wanted to try something new on the strip, almost didn't stop based on Yelp reviews alone but it looked nice (especially for the area, very nice compared to other surrounding places).

Yelp underrated!! Tried the Buttermilk Onion Rings and Buffalo Chicken Dip (which we ordered another round of it was great). Got the Fatty burger that was great, everyone else in my party of 8 thoroughly enjoyed their food as well.
Upstairs was closed (Due to being Christmas Eve and only a few people working) but we went up and checked it out it was super cool and had a great view. Don't live in the area anymore, but will definitely be back when I am visiting."   ~Marty S, Yelp review 12-29-16 

Fatty Burger 

"Good food and friendly service. My husband and I were looking for a place for dinner on Valentines Day weekend. Of course I checked TripAdvisor and we weren't disappointed. They have an amazing variety of beers on tap. The service was super nice and quick. The food was great and the portions were huge. I can't wait to go back when it's warmer to eat outside and enjoy the atmosphere."  ~Sara E, TripAdvisor review, 2/2016 

"Great food and service. Made two visits to Tucker Shuckers during our week at the Lake. The Happy Hour is superb with half price beer, including crafts, and wine. Our bartender, Jason, was all smiles and as helpful as could be as were all the staff. Over two visits we had the chopped salad, salmon and lobster roll. Nothing disappointed. I can't wait to get back and have the salmon again. It was perfect. Visit their site on Facebook and look for specials and coupons." ~Edward H, TripAdvisor review, 2/2016

"This is the best place to go and enjoy great food and plenty of room for your friends. I love the Bagnell Dam atmosphere. This picture is our great friends from Busy Harbor at Tucker's Shuckers! Happy New Year George, Gregory and family!"   ~Tracey Nash, Facebook review, 12-31-15 

You don't have to take our word for it. All of these people were impressed with their visit to our Lake of the Ozarks oyster restaurant, and we believe that you will be too. A visit to our website will provide you with everything you need to know about us and what we have to offer you.

• Oysters on the Half Shell

• Chargrilled Siracha Oysters

A Sweet Ending

If you manage to save a bit of room for a dessert to romantically share, we've got you covered.  

Shuckers Pie

Macadamia nuts and crushed Oreos kneaded into premium vanilla ice cream and pressed into an Orie Pie crust.  Topped with hot fudge and nuts.  Sinfully delicious!

Cinnamon Caramel Apple Cheesecake

Made right here in house, a creamy cheesecake finished with a caramel, cinnamon, apple, crunch topping.  Rich & Sweet!

The best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks loves the idea of hosting your romantic dinner this Valentine's Day weekend.  If you could only say "I love you" through food, then Tuckers Shuckers is the language you would use.  Come on in this Saturday or Sunday, or better yet, both!  We will make sure that your Valentine's Day is celebrated in style.

25 Super Bowl Fun Facts

Super Bowl 50 is taking place this Sunday, February 7, and the best place to watch the game at the Lake of the Ozarks is Tuckers Shuckers on the Bagnell Dam Strip.  We'll be featuring our Pitcher & Pound special during the game for $9.99, and don't forget all about that 50" Smart HDTV that we're giving away at halftime!

In case you're bored with all of the pre-game junk that they will be showing before kickoff, we've dug up a few interesting Super Bowl facts for you to discuss with the other football fans that are sitting around waiting for the game to start.  

1. In the first Super Bowl on January 15, 1967, the Green Bay Packers defeated Kansas city at the Los Angeles Coliseum 35-10.  

2. The winners of that first game earned $15,000 each, while the losing team took home $7,500.

3. In 2015, the winning Patriots took home $97,000 each, and the Seahawks players each earned $49,000. 

4. The trophy that the winning team takes home was originally called the World Professional Trophy.  In 1970, it was renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the legendary Packers coach.  

5. Tiffany & Co. manufacture the trophy every year.  It is made of sterling silver, is 22 inches tall, and weighs 7 pounds.  The football on top is regulation size. 

6. The name "Super Bowl" was suggested by Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hung during a planning meeting in 1966.  His children were obsessed with the popular Super Ball toy, and that's what made him think of Super Bowl.  

7. Until the late '70s, striped balls were allowed for special games and night games.  Super Bowl VIII was the only time that a ball with stripes was used for the Super Bowl.      

8. Super Bowl XII was the first night game for the title.  Before that it was always an afternoon game. 

9. Every year 72 footballs are used for the Super Bowl.  Over 700,000 footballs are purchased by the NFL over an entire season.  

10. Before 1974, the goal posts were positioned at the front of the end zone.  That season they were relocated to the back of the end zone.

11.  The San Francisco 49ers are the only team to have played in more than one Super Bowl and have no losses.  They have earned a total of five Super Bowl rings.  

12. The Chicago Bears were nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Song by a Group in 1985.  The "Super Bowl Shuffle" made its way all the way to #41 on the Billboard charts.

13. 1987 was the year that Giants quarterback Phil Simmons is credited as being the first to deliver the now famous line, "I'm going to Disney World!"

14. Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest day for eating.  Thanksgiving is #1. 

15. Approximately 1.25 billion chicken wings are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday.

16. Chicken wings started gaining popularity as a football food after Buffalo made it to the Super Bowl 4 years in a row.  

17. The highest priced ticket to Super Bowl I in 1967 was $12.  In 2015, the most expensive ticket was $17,800.

18. The first game program sold for $1, and in 2015 they cost $20.

19. A 30-second commercial spot during the Super Bowl in 1967 cost $37,500.  Ads during last year's game were $4.5 million. 

20. The youngest winning head coach for a Super Bowl team is Steelers Mike Tomlin at age 36 in 2009.  The oldest is the Giants Tom Coughlin at age 65 in 2012.  

21. The biggest age difference between two quarterbacks in history is this year for Super Bowl 50.  Peyton Manning (39) and Cam Newton (26) were born 13 years and 48 days apart.

22. Brett Favre and Peyton Manning are tied with 199 career wins.  If the Broncos win this year, Manning will take the all-time record. 

23. Peyton Manning is the only quarterback to go to the Super Bowl with more than one team.  He has played twice with the Colts, and this year will make twice with the Broncos.  

24. The Panthers are 1 of 13 teams that have never won a Super Bowl.  This year will mark their second shot at it.  

25. The Super Bowl cannot end in a tie, but so far no Super Bowl has ever gone into overtime.      

There you go, 25 great facts to fill in any Super Bowl Sunday conversation with.  Don't wait until game day to visit the best restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip.  Every single time that you dine or drink with us before halftime of the Super Bowl, you can enter our drawing for the 50" Smart HDTV that we are giving away.  You have to be present to win, but don't worry, we've got plenty of room for everybody at Tuckers Shuckers. See you Sunday!
