Devil's Pool Restaurant

Devil's Pool Restaurant Come, join Big Cedar Lodge in a casual dining experience that combines the best of southern home-style fare with the rustic elegance of a decade old log structure, steeped in history as rich as the sumptuous desserts prepared by the resort's chefs.

There is no mystery as to what attracted entrepreneur Jude Simmons to this slice of Ozarks wilderness. The gentle hillsides were an ideal backdrop for his rustic getaway that would reflect the grandeur of Adirondack lodges and entertain in casual elegance. The home featured native materials, including a huge stone fireplace that still warms the dining room when fall and winter chill the air. Today, hand wrought metal chandeliers cast a warm glow over antique furnishings and the 100 year old mahogany bar. Bark covered logs and exposed rafters are a fitting complement to the sporting gear and animal mounts that adorn the walls in the Bass Pro tradition. Outdoor balcony seating is an option as weather permits.

So, indulge in the comfort of the past and present as you savor the taste and aroma of hickory smoked prime rib, capture the flavor of Smoked Trout or select one of the local Ozarks favorites. A breakfast buffet is served daily (seasonal) and the popular Champagne Sunday Brunch highlights the week with made to order omelets, a complete range of breakfast items, delicious lunch entrees and those wonderfully rich desserts.

Dinner reservations are recommended.

Truman Coffee & Cafe

Truman Coffee & Cafe One of the original structures on the property, this charming little specialty shop once served as the garage for its owner. While the interior has been dramatically redesigned, the exterior still reflects its 1920s Tudor style and quaint charm. You may choose indoor or patio seating.

Breakfast is a great time to visit. Coffees, cappuccino, and espresso will get you started. Baked fresh everyday, pastries and giant muffins are on the list of favorites. If you're looking for heartier fare, they'll prepare traditional breakfast treats such as biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches.

For lunch you'll be drawn to Truman Coffee & Café where you'll discover a tempting array of sandwiches, salads, and accompaniments. Add some of the delicious sides and you've created the perfect meal.

Hot afternoons signal the taste buds that it's time for something ice cold and refreshing. Truman can rise to the occasion with icy drinks, fruit smoothies, and frappes. Don't forget the ice cream!

They're open for breakfast, lunch, and an evening meal through the summer season. At other times, the schedule is subject to change.

Complimentary wireless internet is available at Truman Coffee & Café.
