The food is not the only highlight of eating at the Lake of the Ozarks newest restaurant . The Barn-B-Que Smokehouse building is a barn that was originally constructed near Lake Erie in Oak Harbor, Ohio in the early 1850s. In this week’s blog, we will talk about the history that we know about the Barn that will now spend the remainder of its life as the best smokehouse at Lake of the Ozarks . Oak Harbor The Barn was originally built in Oak Harbor, Ohio during the early 1850s. Oak Harbor is 30 miles east of Toledo. Oak Harbor got its name due to the importance of the nearby Portage River and the large stands of virgin White Oak trees abundant in the area.
