    Cupcake & Sunshine.
    Cari A.

    First time back since they reopened after the fire. Sunshine's having the Ruben with crinkle fries, onion rings and a side salad with Bleu Cheese dressing. Salad-"really good!" Highly recommend! Ruben-"it was okay." Sides-Onion ring were standard. Good. Nothing special. Cupcake's having a burger with cheddar cheese and jalapeños with tarot tots and a side of ranch, for dipping. Burger-YUMMY Tots-crispy deliciousness! Had a couple Captain & cokes. Tasty. Candy, our server was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt with every detail! The restaurant was closed for 9 months, for repairs. They did a nice job; could have done better. Clean and well lit. My $0.02

    Great service, delicious food, and if you get to sit by the window, you can enjoy the view to the bridge and the water of the western upper branch of the lake of the Ozarks! Our group of seven had all different food orders and they started coming out within eight minutes after we placed the order! I must have is there garlic cheese curd! And my tenderloin dinner was delicious! I will be back for sure!

    Cost of food for evening meal has risen here and at home no blame ever intended. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the water is calming

    The only thing I've had here is the tenderloin, which says a lot for it.

    The Hickory House has been around a long, long time. It still looks like the old road house it…read moreonce was and is clearly divided between 'the bar' and 'the buffet'. There is no menu at Hickory House and little decor and no ambience, you come for the buffet, that's what you get. For $10.99 plus a drink, you will get the most awesome ribs you will find around Pomme de Terre lake. The fried chicken is perfect and crisp and juicy without being greasy. Hot, spiced, boiled shrimp, which I hadn't seen done right in years. I was in heaven! There was also Catfish, but I'm not a fan, so I didn't have any although many diners were filling their plates with the filets. Also on the buffet were a couple of vegetables of the day, when I went it was corn on the cob and fried okra. I didn't understand why they would put out whole, foil wrapped baked potatoes and halved, 'twice baked' potatoes as the only two starch selections. That could have been thought out a bit better. But you can hardly go wrong with a baked potato, so that was okay. The twice baked were very, very dry, so I passed on that. Decent salad selection; green salad, a couple of mayonnaise based vegetable salads, some fresh fruit and for dessert, banana pudding or the sheet cake of the day. The cake of the day I went was a deep, dark chocolate with a cream cheese glaze. We got there early, so that cake was still warm from the oven when the put it out. I couldn't pass it up. On an interesting side note, about two years ago, Hickory House had "The Kentucky Headhunters" as part of a July 4th weekend celebration. For whatever reason, Mr. Man and I decided not to go at the last minute. All through dinner, we berated ourselves for passing that up. It's easy to see that when they can afford a live act in the bar side, everything on the buffet side gets pushed against the wall or carted off to make room. I'm sure they rocked it and to have heard "Dumas Walker" in that intimate setting would have been sweet! Ah, regrets... The vibe of the place is awesome, the food was very good, the service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. We will definitely be going there again. The place opens around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

    Without a doubt, this was one of the most disappointing and chaotic experiences I've ever had at a…read moreplace that claims to welcome both families and partygoers. From start to finish, it was clear no one was actually running the show. Staff members were blatantly vaping and scrolling social media behind the counters like they were on break at home. Even worse, the employee tasked with monitoring the kids' waterslide was doing the same, completely disengaged, staring at their phone, puffing on a vape. It was beyond unprofessional, it was unsafe. Trash was piled up on most tables, left untouched long after guests had left. Meanwhile, a cluster of employees stood around doing absolutely nothing. I snapped a photo of the scene, and instead of acknowledging the issue, one of them smirked and sent security over to give me a hard time. When I brought it up to the manager, she claimed that phone use and vaping weren't allowed, but had no explanation for why it's clearly tolerated. The food? Cold, flavorless, and tossed together like it was an afterthought. And the "family-friendly" atmosphere? Not even close. There was loud, explicit music playing right next to the kids' area while intoxicated adults were grinding on each other in the pool. It felt more like a spring break free-for-all than a place you'd want to take your family. The only person who acted with any professionalism was the security guard checking IDs at the entrance, and that's saying something. This place is a mess. Dirty, reckless, and completely mismanaged. If you care about safety, service, or basic decency, look elsewhere.

    Our 1st visit in many many years and lots of changes. The crab sandwich was AWESOME!!! Service…read morewas really great! Lots of beach boozy drink options. We just ate upstairs and did not use the pool or bar area .
