    Stumbled across this place on Yelp under "late night eats" in Branson and it was a very interesting place. It's a bar type of establishment with live music, food and drinks. There wasn't much seating when we arrived, it was pretty packed. We caught a table in the back but happened to be right by the stage. The live music was actually pretty good, they put on an excellent show! My only struggle was how loud it was at that table. For the drinks: they were pretty good. As for the food, some was good some not so much. The half rack was seasoned and tender but there was ALOT of fat on them. The rib tips were not rib tips I've ever seen it was more like chopped meat. I was expecting bone in rib tips. The beans and slaw were pretty good no complaints about those. The service was pretty good up until after we got our food then it took a while to flag someone down as our waitress never came back to check on us. Only reason I gave a 3 star. I'd go back.

    If you like dive bars this is the place for you. The bright colored animal portraits, the fun drinks and the food is delicious. Russ is an up seller doing his job for sure! No fried food. The brisket is fantastic.

    We were told by a local, Jeff, to go check out Cheeky Monkey.... Funny name but there is nothing funny about this bar!! We were greeted by Russ with a welcome shout and he helped us out!! Immediately you are greeted with "green tea drink". OMG!! We actually went with a cape cod and they were delicious! The only reason we didn't go with green tea is because we could've had buckets of it!!! Soooo good!!! We were then greeted by GM Kim and she was just a hospitable!! Started with Pulled pork nachos and a combo of ribs and brisket with beans and coleslaw!!! Y'all all we can say is go for it!!! It was all delicious and some great eats!! Thank you Cheeky monkey crew we had a blast!!

    The food was AMAZING. We got the brisket nachos and they were delicious and a huge serving. The owner and the waitress were both very attentive, told us all the local deals, invited us back etc etc. The vibe is immaculate. It's a little bar but we brought the kids and they really enjoyed it as well. 10/10 experience.

    Convenient little dive bar with a catchy pun named beverages. Fairly large drink menu with great ingredient descriptions. Some drinks served in "buckets" or other specialty glasses. Drink prices seem slightly higher for the bar type. My pint Voodoo cocktail $10. Most others range from $13-$18. The one thing they excelled on was staff friendliness and hospitality. Each waitress and bartender we met went out of their way to greet us, ask personalized questions, and quickly fill requests. But the restaurant itself was fairly run down and extremely smokey.

    Seat yourself and scan the drink & food menus quickly; friendly service is coming! The free shots (different each day) got us started until our real drinks arrived with Chips & Queso & Salsa! A wide array of well-crafted house-drinks can be ordered as regular-size drinks or shots. This is a great idea! Drink faves included 'Monkey See, Monkey Dew' and - of course - 'Monkey Fuel!' The Grilled Chicken sammy was a hit with my wife, and I nearly foundered on the excellent Brisket Quesadilla! Good food, great drinks, friendly servers, clean bathrooms, and a fun atmosphere - this is 5 stars all day & night!

    Is this a smoking bar?

    Yes. Smoking is allowed.

    Is this place gay friendly? I want to go out somewhere in Branson but I'm worried about where would be accepting of lgbtq+ people and from what I see there are no exclusively gay bars.

    Absolutely!!! My fiancé and I have gone here multiple times and had no issues and nothing but fun! They are very accepting, you won't regret it!

    Is this a kid friendly place?

    It depends on what you mean by 'kid friendly'. They're friendly, but it is a bar. No one goes out of their way to be offensive. If your children are used to being in a bar where you live, they should be just fine at Crazy Craig's. I should add, if… Read more

    Do they have darts?

YUM...had to take it slow as they pack a bit of a punch on an empty stomach. I had the Baked French Onion soup as a starter. The Caesar salads were so fresh and good. No choice on the dressing, but it was very good with no anchovies and freshly baked warm rolls and butter. Our entrees were the 12 oz K.C. prime strip and the 16 oz prime ribeye. I had the loaded baked potato and hubby had fries. The steaks are seasoned so well that you don't need any further S/P or sauces. Cutting into them is like cutting into butter...incredibly tender. The topper of the evening was a Dean Martin tribute singer act starts at 6 pm. His voice is velvety smooth. We left so satisfied and relaxed. What a wonderful evening!

The poutine was fabulous. The fry coating was crisp and tasty and the gravy was full of flavor. The Reuben sandwich is outstanding! The way they cut that corned beef was nothing short of magic. An egg on there? What? I've never heard of such a thing, but yes please. And I had the brûlée corn; which I may need to learn how to replicate because I've never seen this on any menu in Chicago, but it's too far to travel as often as I'll be thinking about that dish! The old fashions were smooth! Went with vanilla and loved the subtle flavors. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was a delightful mix of old school pub/English castle. All of it was just what I was hoping to find. Food off the beaten path that deserves a huge shout out. In a town of bland flavors, this place shines like a real gem!

Sat in a comfy table with a padded pew close to the bar with our backs to the wall, which instantly put my hyper vigilant husband at ease (IYKUK). Chatted a bit with our kind server who was also a millennial, how do I know this? The eye contact and lovely snarky conversation. My husband ordered his med rare, which probably came out more med and not enough pink for his liking. Correction on my part, I got the mahi mahi with parmesan grits and green beans and I didn't even need to look at my pictures to recall, it was that memorable of a meal. Being early January a parking spot nearby was an easy find, I imagine though finding one come spring will feel like a miracle. I'd love to stay at the attached hotel but found it's already booked a year out. Doesn't surprise me, the old English charm with its stone and dark wood is straight up story book.

We ordered the Pork Trashcan Nachos and they were incredible -- piled high and packed with flavor. Definitely a must-try if you come here. I also tried the Mac & Cheese Burger. It was fun and unique, though I personally prefer a thicker burger patty rather than a thinner one. Still, it was creative and tasty, and the overall food quality was excellent. The restaurant had a fun, energetic vibe and the service was friendly and attentive, which made for a really enjoyable dining experience. One slightly odd moment at the end: our server handed us a card encouraging a review, which is totally fine, but it also included a religious message ("Jesus saves"). Everyone is certainly entitled to their beliefs, and I respect that, but it felt a little unexpected as part of the dining experience. Personally, I'd rather just keep the focus on the great food and service. Overall though, a really good meal and a fun place to eat if you're visiting Branson. Definitely worth stopping in for the nachos alone.
