J. Bruner's is an excellent place and a "must" when going to the Lake of the Ozarks area. My husband and I had a great experience there. The waitress was very sweet and professional. She made recommendations for us to try the onion rings and the prime rib. The onion rings were a work of art! The onion never came... More

We pulled up to the door at 9:45pm not sure if kitchen was still open. Manager saw us and welcomed us in. The service was excellent and we were treated like royalty. Our waitress provided great service and clued us in on appetizers (Onion rings to die for!) and house-made salad dressing. Steaks were tender and juicy-real quality! No rush,... More

I just ate at J. Burners. I was expecting it to be really high class, and it met that expectation atmosphere and service wise, however there was almost zero presentation to the food. I ordered shrimp, and although it tasted just good, it was not mind blowing, and looked like it came straight from SAMs club. The restaurant has great... More

J. Bruner's is amazing! The food is so good that you will want to eat yourself into a food coma. We dined here with a large group, around 18 people. We had appetizers (shrimp cocktail, a mushroom & chick liver pate, and onion rings), all delicious. I also had a wedge salad, with some of the best blue cheese dressing... More

The good was very good and their were several dishes eaten in our large party. The server was very friendly and fast with refills and orders. The prices were a little steep but it would be a great place to take someone special once in a while.

Nice place for a nice dinner. Relaxed, but elegant, atmosphere. Good wine list. Service is always impeccable.

Locally famous for their Batter Fried Lobster and Onion Rings. Both are very good. Prime Rib was average. Service is above average. Brunner's has been a favorite with locals for years.

The chicken livers rocked! Worth going just for them. Skip the salads, overpriced and nothing special. The rib-eye and prime rib were good. The tv with the fake "fire"..REALLY? Doesn't fit the attemped upscale, non-chain atmosphere. Overall the food was above average (not the salads-drive-thru type only), the atmosphere quirky. The evening was enjoyable. I will go back for the... More

Came up to the lake for a nice weekend and to celebrate paying off our house! Had dinner at Bruners this past Saturday night and could not have had a better time! The onion rings are amazing, the steaks are great, and even the add-on fried lobster tail my wife got was amazing (and I don't like lobster)! We had... More

The Ribeye was fantastic paired with the lobster tail as always. My wife tried the Red Trout for the first time and I think I'll have a hard time getting her to order something else in the future. J Bruner's threw a Rockin New Years Eve Party. Bruce Benson and Studio B started playing down stairs during our 8:30 dinner... More
