    Catfish with onion rings

    Visiting from Michigan I've been looking for a good catfish dinner and DJ's did not disappoint! Our server was very pleasant and suggested the onions rings over the French fries. The interior is a little worn out but very clean. We will return next time we're in the area

    Looking for a small town diner? I mean truly, this is it. Dont put your expectations high for this place, it isn't the cleanest and closes at 7 pm. I think its mostly known for breakfast, but we went for dinner. Most of the items on the menu are between $5-$10. I was a little sketchy about the menu, but I had the 2 piece fried fish because everyone in my group said it was amazing, and it did not disappoint!! I would bet its the best thing on the menu, so id strongly suggest that! I'll be back next time I'm in town!

    You sure can tell there are new owners' portions are smaller, the waitress was borderline rude & no pie but the catfish was really good !!

    Food was alright, not bad but also not the best. The real experience is the service, singing and…read morethe over the top desserts! Would definitely go back for Ice cream and the singing servers. They made it a memorable experience that we enjoyed! Went with 3 small kids, 1 baby and 4 adults. It was a louder environment but tolerable for a young baby.

    We came here a couple of times but this was the first time I actually ate here with my family…read morebecause we didn't have our four legged family member with us on this trip to celebrate my wife's parent's 60th anniversary. We had a party of 24 and was seated reasonably quick. Hostess was great and the waiter and waitress serving our tables were friendly and professional. An added plus was they could really sing and knew how to get the crowd involved. The atmosphere and decor was consistent with a 50s to early 70s hamburger joint. Food wasn't spectacular but you are really coming for the unique atmosphere and free (and enjoyable) entertainment. Food wasn't spectacular good and consistent with an early American hamburger joint. Bathroom was reasonably clean especially for how busy this place is. Overall cleanliness was good. Wait staff is very good. If you are visiting or just passing through Branson and want a quick meal, give this place a shot. I really don't think anyone with reasonable expectations will be disappointed in the food and atmosphere. From order to food served was about 15 minutes despite the restaurant being packed.
