"I've dined at many beach restaurants, from Shore Birds in Honolulu, HI to Nikki Beach Club in Miami Beach, FL. However, whenever we visit Grand Lake in Oklahoma, we always make a stop at Ozzie's on Monkey Island. It's said you could drive there, but we prefer to arrive by boat and tie up at the free docks. This place is incredibly kid-friendly, with sand brought in for what they call "Yard Apes" to play in after dinner. When the weather is pleasant, we enjoy dining on the deck under the trees where the staff takes excellent care of you. I particularly love the Greesie Cheesie, a giant cheeseburger that we usually share. Ozzie's is the perfect spot to take everyone after a lazy day on the lake, all without breaking the bank or having to dress up for one of those pretentious places that require a shirt. Unfortunately, there's some sad news: on September 6th, 2014, Ozzie's will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. They'll be open through the month of September, so make sure to visit and enjoy this little slice of paradise while you can!"
