I think it has potential with some updating and most importantly, a breakwall for the docks.

Location is good also, its only 3 miles approx off the main channel so it would be a good stop on a poker run and also all the people who venture up to Ha Ha Tonka would could stop and try it out!

Ditto on Ozark BBQ, lots of boaters drive-by that place b/c of the rough water.

Is this place near the Hwy 5 Bridge, I seem to remember seeing this place on the way to the caves but can't remember for sure. If it is close to Hwy 5, you will draw not only boat but people from the west side of the lake. People like me that live on 6mm (west side) will take the drive to a good restraunt especially if its on the water. You have a good demographic to pull from if its done right.

Can't say I've ever heard of it, what MM is it close too? We're always looking for new places to try out...

I have been there multiple times and met the owners. I personally know two investers who have tried to purchase the property and thought it was a done deal until the male half of the owner began naking demands and wanting to raise the price. They also own a rest. in the South St. Louis county area.

As far as food it has a great repuitation for Sunday breakfast buffet. It is our well kept secret. The female owner is a very good pastry chef and they have all the tools but I think it is full of potential.

I know if you are truley interested in purchase the small resort next to it will sell also and that will give you the protection form the channel for parking. Other wise the first investment has to be wave breaks. Because parking is always a event during the day. For other examples that were mentioned Ozark Bar-B-Que, PAradise are perfect examples of nice places that need wave protection.

As far as potential the Condo market is just now taking off in this area. There are four 200 unti complex under const. now.

Send me a PM and I will give you more info on the little things that do not have a spot on the forum.

To help people remember the place.......It was the original location of "Captains Galley"

What is the name of the South St. Louis restaurant they own?
