Buzzard Bar

Reviews & Tips

  Showed up on a Friday night about 7:45pm and found out that you just stand around and watch for a table to open up. We joined a family at their table and everything was just fine - friendly people who didn't mind sharing their space with us.
  We ordered drinks and our meals and spent about $50, so we felt that the price was fair.
  My husband had the country fried ribeye and I had the smokehouse burger. They were excellent choices! We also had a side of fruit, which was the best fruit I've ever had as a side order. It was all fresh and very crisp. I felt like they kept it all separate until they brought it to the table - which is the way every good restaurant should do it. We also tried their fried chips, which were were sweet potatoes and were nice and crispy - definitely worth ordering.
  The entertainment started at 8:45 and actually proved to be enjoyable.
  We were very glad that we took the time to drive there and would certainly return!

  Good bar at a great resort.
  
  Clay the cowboy is the house band, and does a lot of cover song favorites
  They have added a new act, a lounge singer during happy hour that is pretty comical, he looks like rod stewart.  I guess I just think lounge singers are comical, he actually does a fine job.
  This place is a welcomed oasis from the family or with the family for food and drinks at big cedar.

  The food is ok and fine for a poolside meal. But the indoor Buzzard Bar needs some fly control and a deep cleaning. I usually can easily overlook the interior of a restaurant or bar if the food is great, but the food and service were just ok, so how can you not overlook the rest. I would certainly eat outdoors by the pool, but if I were to eat indoors, I would go upstairs the the Devils Pool Restaurant before indoors at the Buzzard Bar.

  The open late night and all day bar and grill establishment of Big Cedar serving a full restaurant menu, shared with Devil's Pool and room service (STEAKS), till 11:30!  I am not sure which is better to be inside w/ singing cowboy and charisma or outside on the excellent open air & stone patio with a view, but that is a good debate over drinks.
  
  In the basement of a restaurant is a log and taxidermy friendly (BUT NO SMOKING!) "Buzzard Bar".  Yeah, there is a hunting & fishing theme to Big Cedar, but I am enjoying the theme.
  
  The solo artist played guitar while singing old country songs on this late Sunday night visit.  I knew this place was good old country boy from how he made fun of the newer pop country singers during a laid back comedy routine between and during songs.
  
  Overall the place is friendly and vacation upscale, but in that wink (or complete bow) to Ozark country good old boy.  The place was packed with the outdoor type vacationers looking to have a good time.  They and I did.
  
  I liked this place so much I bought a hat- I do NOT do that.
  
  For the food review check Devil's Pool- this is about the bar. What is weird is the only menu they show is the Devil's Pool menu, but are willing to cook off the room service menu.  Maybe the could print a few "Open Late for the Night Owls" menu that is more informative.
