Kids love our food!

JJ Twigs serves the best pizza at the Lake of the Ozarks, and there is also many other menu items that kids go crazy over.  Juicy burgers, hot dogs, wings, and don't forget the awesome desserts available!  Get some Fried Twigs for your kids or maybe even some for yourself :)

We also offer a $8.99 KC strip dinner as a special and after the kid's party, Texas hold 'em starts up.  There is no better family restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks and the kids will have a ball.  See you on Tuesday!

Risky's - Where the Locals go!

The summer is winding down and we had a fantastic season at JJ Twigs and Risky's.  The opening of our Dierbergs location in the Spring was a success and offers the great Pizza and top notch food you have come to expert from JJ Twigs...all with a lake view!

 Risky's is the place to be for locals!

With the fall and winter season coming and the waterfront bars and restaurants closed, locals now come to Risky's to enjoy their favorite JJ Twigs menu items, enjoy great drink prices, see their favorite sports teams play on the multiple TV screens, and enjoy the company of other folks who make the lake their home year round.


Risky's has been a legendary local hangout for years!  Ask some locals in the bar (or one of our bartenders), and they will have many stories to tell of the good times over the years.  We moved from our old Bagnell Dam location in 2009 where we had 10 years of success with the greatest customers at the Lake.

Our place has the BEST happy hour at the lake from 3pm - 6pm with 2 for 1 drinks.  Our bartenders are fantastic and it's our customers that make it the best place to be.  Come in and play Keno and other games of chance, Buzztime Trivia, watch the games, or just hang out with your friends.  We promise...once you come in, you will make us a regular stop.  Come hang out with the locals...you never know who you will see in Risky's!
