Our first stop for the day was at Tap and Grill Lakeside Brew Haus. It rained the majority of the time we were there. We enjoyed fruity drinks and lunch. Side note... In Minnesota we use shredded cheddar cheese. In Missouri we noticed you guys sure do like your "cheese sauce". The bearded bartender was fun and provided friendly banter.
Then, we boated, again in the pouring rain, to T's Fish Tales. This down-home establishment made us feel like we were back in Minnesota. We played bean bags and Jenga. We were surprised how much we enjoyed the, recommended, deep fried craw fish. We exchanged recipes and tried several different "mini drinks". The dock boys get an A+!
We met the many locals, received a warm welcome, and got a great feel of the lake today. Despite the pouring rain for majority of the day, we had a great time.
