Cozy Comfort Foods to Warm You Up Inside & Out

As the weather gets colder outside, it's natural to have cravings for comforting foods "just like Mom used to make." You know, the kind that will warm you up from the inside out. Our Lake of the Ozarks restaurant & bar happens to have quite a few items made with fresh ingredients and creative recipes on the menu that fit that description perfectly. 


The Joy of Comfort Food
Wicked Willie's Sports Grill is a great place to go for a hot, delicious meal that will make you feel good inside and out. That's the whole purpose of "comfort foods." They are meant to comfort you with both physical warmth and satisfaction as well as mental happiness. Nearly all comfort foods are served as a hot dish and they tend to have a higher calorie count and carbohydrate level.

Another thing that qualifies a food for this category is when a person has a nostalgic or sentimental memory tied to it. Enjoying something you had often as a kid can bring back old, happy memories which will automatically make you feel all warm and cozy inside. Here are a few dishes from our family-friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks that fit perfectly into the comfort food category.

SOUPS
Hot soup (or chili) puts a warm feeling in your tummy that radiates throughout your entire body. Ours are served either by the cup or by the bowl.

Tomato Bisque
Served with miniature grilled cheese.

Willie's Smoked Turkey Chili
Smoked turkey, white beans, tomatillos, and green chilies garnished with cilantro and tortilla chips. 



PASTA
Thick, rich pasta always makes a body feel good. When you add a savory sauce like the kind our chefs are masters at creating, it's pure satisfaction!

Cajun Chicken Fettucine 
Blackened spiced grilled chicken with roasted peppets, sundried tomatoes, and sauteed spinach in a spicy Cajun sauce. You may substitute shrimp for a small additional charge. (Served after 5 pm)


BURGERS & FRIES
Nothing's more nostalgic than a good ol' burger with a side of French fries. We're willing to bet everyone has had quite a few of those in their lifetime. We offer 5 amazing burger creations for you to choose from, plus a tasty list of toppings if you'd like to create your own.

All of our burgers are 7-oz patties served on a Brioche bun with your choice of a side dish. Our Sidewinder Fries are a great choice and we also offer Sweet Potato Fries.

ANYTHING FRIED
There's no denying it, even though fried foods may not be the healthiest choice compared to grilled items, the flavor they possess is automatic happiness! The warmth and that crunch simply can't be beat.

Corn Dog Battered Crabcakes
Served with spicy jalapeno mustard.

Southwestern Chipotle Crab Rangoon
Served with raspberry-chipotle dipping sauce.
