    Fingerling potatoes with pork chop

    First off, ask for Zachary as your waiter! He was incredible. He had great suggestions for our dinner. We ended up splitting the pork chop and doing the beet salad with a Osage smash drinks.

    This is a great option if you don't have dinner reservations at Osage restaurant. This bar is located downstairs, takes walk-ins, and is quite large with panoramic views at the Top Of The Rock. The sunset ceremony is a wonderful tradition and a treat to witness. The service was good although we were "forgotten" about upon being seated. Once rectified, all went well. The food was good and presented nicely (but it felt a bit over-priced). Just know that you are paying for the experience so don't go too hungry (or thirsty!). Just relax and enjoy.

    Sea Bass, delicious!!

    After we barely finished the museum tour, we rushed outside to see the sunset ceremony. Took a walk through the bar to get to the spectacular view it offers. Amazing photo opt of the pool with statue and the lake and chapel were just breathtaking! The ceremony is bag-pipes and canon at sunset. Then we had cocktails and enjoyed the live music, who was excellent, and took a seat at a table with fire. Food was amazing and best experience of our visit to Branson!

    This is a beautiful facility and impressive to see. I recommend visiting but would limit the trip to golf or drinks and simple dish. Food was like a catered wedding. Warmed over and reheated. I ordered the filet and it was overcooked. Worse it was dry. The first round of mashed potatoes arrived cold. Strangely none of this triggered a visit from manager so server failed to recognize it was warranted. I wouldn't choose to eat here again. Over and over we were told Osage and Buffalo Bar is same kitchen same menu. Reading thru reviews I believe this to be true. Caution is warranted regardless of dining room choice. Friendly hostess staff, drivers and physical building saved this review from total destruction.

    We loved our visit to the Buffalo bar this past fall. We didn't have reservations to the Osage restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised that they had this restaurant as an alternative. The food was delicious. Expensive but worth it. I asked if we could sit outside to enjoy the sunset celebration. The views are beautiful. We loved the bread they brought out with the truffle butter. The spinach dip was a must. My mom had the braised beef short rib and the meat was perfect. My daughter and I both ordered 28 day center filet and it was mouthwatering. You know my girl loves her steak and this is up there. We added the bearnaise. The sides were just as delicious as everything else.

    Downstairs from the Osage Restaurant is the Buffalo Bar, a great alternative to the restaurant if you do not have the required reservation at the Osage. The establishment is only open between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm, however, tables are abundant inside and on the huge patio. On clear evenings chances are good that you will be seated quickly. On our visit, the hostess showed us to our table within a minute of arriving. Before long our server Makayla welcomed us and enquired if we knew what we wanted to drink. The punctual service continued without our meal which began with delicious complimentary mini loaves of fresh bread and rosemary honey butter. Such a fantastic way to start a meal. This unique rustic, western-themed bar is just as much a restaurant as it is a bar; in fact, it features the same menu as the restaurant above it. If you looking for a cheap meal, you won't find it here, however, you will get a meal and an atmosphere that would put a smile on the late President "Teddy" Roosevelt's face. Yes, your wallet may groan a bit when you pay for this five-star meal but your tastebuds screaming for joy will drown it out. To keep the billfold moans down, I decided to skip the very tempting beef options and go for the bone-in pork chop. Because the sides were $12 a piece, I opted for just one: the roasted corn. My girlfriend got the roasted chicken and did not notice that the sides were not included, so she ordered the sweet potato mash and the crispy Brussels sprouts. Everything was amazing and full of flavor!! The pork chop was cooked as I ordered it, keeping its moisture and tenderness. It was easy to cut with a butter knife. Her roasted chicken was the same, just as sweet and juicy, not under or overcooked. The sides hit the spot as well. Even the pickled pears they garnished my plate with went well with the pork chop and the divine chocked cherry dipping sauce. Thank you Makayla for doing an excellent job keeping us happy and kudos to the chef for the meal that I will always try to achieve from my own grill.

    We had a great time visiting the Buffalo Bar at the top of the Rock. Our bartender was such a great host and shared so much history with us about Big Cedar Lodge. The bar is so special and perfect to make us feel that we were invited to a perfect getaway, and were true guests. The scenery is wonderful and full of historical artifacts. The drinks were great and plenty to choose from. This was a great experience.

    the interior of a restaurant with stone walls

    Well, the view is epic. Hands down perfection. It is $10 to get into the compound, then you have to park your car and then take a shuttle to the restaurant. I wish I had known that beforehand, I probably would have made a different dining decision for tonight. There are so many things to do here, there are golf carts you can get and drive around, caves, golf, you name it. The restaurant is right on the bluff overlooking the lake, a beautiful chapel next to it. The restaurant there are two levels, the top level is for reservations only, the bottom level is for walk-ins. I opted to sit on the patio since it was such a beautiful day. The interior of the restaurant had a large feel, complete with stuffed bison and bear. I ordered a glass of wine, lobster bisque to start and fillet and mashed potatoes for dinner. They brought out bread beforehand, took a while to get a glass of wine. The lobster bisque had a great flavor, only two chunks of meat. The steak was cooked perfectly and served with grilled onions. The mashed potatoes sadly were served cold. Everything is pretty high-priced so be sure to expect the high price tag. The sunset was so beautiful, I highly recommend coming to check it out. I asked for a to go box and a dessert to go, the sun went down and I was on the patio freezing, that wasn't very cool. Server was friendly, as baby cried for the last 20 mins. Could have done without that, too.

    Nice view

    Elk soup was some of the best soup I've ever had!! Views are fantastic What's not to like!?! Must do for me

    Amazing view and ambiance! Good food and plenty of it! Steak was a bit overcooked but they made it right and re-cooked for excellence. Roasted Brussel sprouts, lobster, mashed sweet potato, artichoke and pork belly appetizers were great as well.

    Fingerling potatoes, grits and bacon brussel sprouts
    B U.

    10/10!! Absolutely incredible meal. Atmosphere, service and food was all amazing. Definitely an upscale restaurant with higher priced menu items/drinks but WORTH IT! Sunset Ceremony was awesome with music and a cannon send off. A whole experience in one! Brandon was an awesome server too.

I recently returned a year after the first visit, and it hasn't changed a bit. The menu is extensive insofar as classic American fare is concerned, but this isn't the kind of place you'll find 4 clever variations on Eggs Benedict. Anything named after Benedict Arnold has no place in the Ozarks. A year ago, I ordered a western omelet, which commanded my attention and exertions for the better part of 20 minutes. The portions are definitely generous - the pancakes are the size of pizzas. If you're on Ozempic, either skip this place or confine yourself to a single slice of wheat toast. Some gals in the group demurely ordered half portions of biscuits and gravy, thinking a dainty portion would show dedication to preserving their girlish figures. These "half portions" filled the entire (largish) plate. I made a mental note to opt for this on any future visit, and that future arrived this week. Biscuits were country-good, and the gravy was substantial, not that watery stuff that is sometimes drizzled on Pillsbury-from-the-tube biscuits. If you're in Branson, head a little south of the dam to Hungry Hunter. Get there early, because this place is deservedly popular and there will probably be a wait. And the parking can be a bit contentious. It's not open on Monday or Tuesday.

There was something off-putting about the CFS. I didn't care for the coating or the gravy. I'd give it a 2/5. My stepmom gave it a 4/5. Her tastebuds are broken. My dad enjoyed his omelette and said the veggies were lightly sautéed and not greasy. The service was good. The wait was not worth the taste of the CFS, but honestly, 0 minutes of waiting is not worth the CFS. I typically love CFS, but in this case, I wish I had tried the French toast instead. Me: 2/5 (based solely on taste, 5/5 for portion size) Stepmom: 4/5 Dad: 5/5 then amended to 8/10, which is 4/5

Let's get right to it this place feels overpriced for what you're getting. The food comes off very commercial, chain-style, nothing that really stands out or justifies the cost. It fills you up, but it's not something you're thinking about the next day. The bowling side? It's decent, but nothing special mid-level entertainment at best. Good for killing time, not necessarily a destination experience. Now where it does get some points the decor. If you're into sea creatures, underwater themes, that whole aquatic vibe... this place actually delivers. It's unique, it's fun to look at, and honestly probably the highlight of the visit. But then... the bar. $$$ There's a noticeable stale peanut smell, and it's pretty clear a few too many beers have been spilled into that rug over time. It just gives off a slightly off, worn-in feel that takes away from the experience.

The staff are students working to pay for their college tuition so the service was great! The food was good (most ingredients on site also made by students) portions were huge, the price was decent, place was clean and much better then any touristy type restaurant near or on the strip, so much so we came here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently. Definitely make reservations and give this place a try.
