Though we're fairly new to the Republic area, we've been fans of Flat Creek for a long time. The place is big but comfortable and everyone is very friendly. My wife and I went for an early dinner and so she could have the prime rib dinner special. I decided to go with the chicken fried chicken again. We like to sit in the bar area for the TVs and Candace, our favorite server. And she didn't disappoint . Well I was a little concerned when our entrees came within about five minutes after getting our salads. It takes a while for chicken to fry and for the prime rib to cook and rest as well. We felt our entrees weren't cooked fresh for our order. The flavors were good but neither were as good as we've grown to expect. We didn't say anything to our server but won't order them again. Every restaurant can have an off night and we'll probably give them another shot down the road. read more

Asked for a table and was told they had a half booth/table. When we walked through there were plenty of empty tables. Menu stated cornbread came with our meals but when we asked for it they stated they changed to hush puppies. Mgr brought out cornbread at the end of our meal. Waitress was very good and was attentive. Food was okay with the exception of the potatoes they tasted like they were burnt. Overall I think they have let some things go downhill a little. It's just an average place to eat. read more

A neat place in the middle of a small town with delicious food and scrumptious drinks. The prices are reasonable and not over the top. The staff is always welcoming and attentive. They have different plates to choose from. My favorite appetizer is the fried pickles and their Mac and cheese is to die for. We usually always ask for a large tub to go. read more

Just good food. Service was great. Always have good food there. Pretty convenient for the wife and I we live fairly close

I cried because this food was so good. I shed tears from multiple places. Please go to this restaurant, you will want to marry the food. I personally loved to make out with the fried catfish. The taste on my tongue was so genuine and savory. If you want your life to be better please go here. read more

Flat Creek - My friends was so happy he ate this!!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Republic, Missouri

The food is great. And the portions are generous. The service is as good as you will find anywhere. So good that I tipped 40%. The ambiance is good. I chose to sit in the outside patio. It was very pleasant. I highly recommend this for family dining or even dining alone. read more

Eaten here 4 times in last 2 years. Each meal has been either fair once or poor 3 times. Today drink came after meal. Burger came and had no lettuce, onions, or tomato. Server had to get that while burger sat on table. Onion rings were cold and had sat in the kitchen obviously. Probably last time for me which is to bad. read more

I have been to the restaurant. I did doordash a steak salad and baked potato. Potato was not done, the steak was advantage taste but was cooked as I requested. The salad was advantage. read more

We went to Flat Creek on a Thursday afternoon in Republic, Mo. They were fairly busy mid afternoon but we were seated right off and our staff were right there to get us started with drinks. My wife and I both ordered fried catfish and onion rings. Our salads were fresh and delicious, dressings on the sides croutons were crisp and good. We got our meal before we had finished our salads. Our food was delicious, hot, fresh, crisp. Our waitress was attentive with drink refills, etc. and box's and a check when we were ready to go. If you are considering it, try it today. It is a small drive from Springfield but worth it. read more

The worst bbq I have ever had. Ribs were burnt and cold. Shrimp was cold and over cooked. Will never fo back.

We had a horrible experience about a year and a half ago with the food being cold to the service not being good at all. I am very glad we came in today and had Derek as our server, he really turned around our whole entire outlook we have on the restaurant now. Thank you Derek! He told us to leave a review on a couple of different apps haha! read more

Chicken fried chicken is outstanding! Only reason for the 4 star review is they no longer have ground beef nachos & taco salad. Those were a favorite of many people in this area. read more

Food was excellent. The portions never disappoint. Never leave hungry. The service needs a little work but for the most part love our experience here. read more

Loved dining with Derek as our waiter. he was attentive, funny, and worked hard. The food was delicious and the potions were large. It's a laidback vibe. read more

Tried to go to the Himalayan Grill after a ballgame but they were closing for some bizarre Nepalese holiday. We hit Flat Creek because we were familiar with the chain from their Cape Fair site which we used to boat to back in the day. The ambiance is upbeat & lively. Our waitress was simply outstanding: Outgoingly friendly & efficient. Customers in our general vicinity were happily gorging...and that seems to be the thing to do here. The food is good, no question. The portions are beyond ample so you'll likely get your money's worth. But everything on the extensive menu seemed so heavy: Lots of fried and other artery-clogging but taste bud pleasing entrees. I ended up ordering the Blackened Grilled Catfish with the Fried Okra & Hush Puppies. The wife had the Fried Catfish, my sister the Fried Chicken with veggies, with the granddaughter having a Steak with Fries as usual. It was all good but too much food so we took two boxes home. Note: The Prickly Pear Margarita is awesome. But it is pink & served in a tall, flute-like glass: A bit effeminate looking. The waitress laughed as I recounted my uncomfortableness with the presentation as she couldn't count how many gentlemen had told her the same thing. You want to satisfy hunger with a tasty meal? Flat Creek is definitely the place. The clientele was having a great time with good food. It's not going to fit a contentious diet, but if you don't care, munch on! read more

We recently ate at Flatcreek. We had the pulled pork plate. Food was good especially for a busy day. We splurged and ordered dessert to go. I got the German chocolate cake. It was the worst cake I have ever eaten. The cake was not German chocolate but more like devils food. It was very dry and not edible. There was traditional coconut pecan icing between the layers that was good, but it was topped with an overly sweet chocolate icing. The slice was $9. I ate 3 bites and threw the rest in the trash. Very disappointed. read more

Great experience! Derrick was incredible! Food was good fast and service was excellent!

Love this place. We always comes for family night. Service is great and the staff is very friendly. Definitely our favorite place in town.

Fantastic place to eat. Love the catfish and rib combo! So delicious....the fried chicken is also fantastic..and dont forget fried okra. Love going to Flat Creek! read more

Atmosphere - Country Cool. The restaurant has a great country barbecue feel. There are tons of great, nostalgic signs everywhere. The restaurant has lots of seating that includes booths and tables. Service - Excellent. In viewing previous reviews, much was said about the great service and I completely agree. Our server was attentive and friendly. We were made to feel welcome and appreciated. Food - Very Good. The restaurant is know for its catfish. However, I prefer barbecue and so I ordered the beef brisket dinner with mashed potatoes, Corn on the Cob, and a garden salad. The salad was huge and fresh. The brisket portion was also ample and extremely tender (I cut most of it with a fork). The barbecue sauce was good too. The corn was just OK. The mashed potatoes were very good as well. Overall Value - Very Good. The restaurant has the whole package (great atmosphere, service, food, and price). read more

Food was ok but environment is that of a sport's bar. LOUD, crowded, and greasy. As far as a family dining experience, it was lacking.

If your skin has melanin in it, I'd stay away from this place. I shoulda known better than to come to Republic. Tonight, I came in with a party of 7 and the waitress spilled water on our table and a guest's phone because she wasn't paying attention. Nbd. The reason for 1-star is the micro aggression of the waitress waiting over my shoulder for me to pay the tab. Meanwhile I got full drinks at the table. Girl you coulda cleaned my table off, asked for to-go or refills instead of interrupting my conversation and asking me if I'm paying with a card. I was thinking about coming back for a pork tenderloin before I left back to Oregon on Tuesday, but after tonight that will NOT be happening. It's kind of crazy I felt more uncomfortable here than in Oregon. read more

First time guest while we were in town visiting friends. This restaurant is huge! I love the decor, except for all the animal heads hung everywhere. LOL. There are many booths with seating for large parties. The menu is very diverse, with appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. Our server was very efficient and brought our drinks quickly. I had honed in on the pulled pork dinner and you got 2 sides. Double Mac and cheese for me. One person in our party ordered a salad, which was very large for a side salad, but he had only started eating it when our entrees arrived. Just not enough time to enjoy the salad. For the price of the entree, I thought it was a good deal. There was plenty of pulled pork and the double Mac and cheese was plenty. The pork was good, maybe a little overdone, and could have used more sauce, but had great flavor. The Mac and cheese was good and topped with bread crumbs. The glass of iced tea was huge, which was great since we didn't need to wait for refills. Service was very good for our entire meal. I would definitely return. read more

Still coming here every trip to Table Rock and back. Bumping to 5 star cuz fried pork chops were amazing! I got naked wings with garlic parm (yum) and ranch on the side...and a HUGE side salad. Service was fast. Server was great. Wish this place was closer to home! read more

Very good home style food. Large servings so you'll have take home. Look forward to returning.

Derek is "the best" waiter. Katie F. is a great artist I hear. Good food, good atmosphere.

Megan was friendly and took great care of us, and of course the food was hot and very good. We enjoyed looking at the wall furnishings and recognized several that our relatives had. read more

The food was amazing. The ambiance was family friendly, really big inside, casual. And the service was sub par. Slow waitress but we came at very odd hours so it was not busy at all. Just not attentive. That being said everybody loved what they ordered and we would absolutely come back here again. When we came they had an all you can eat friend chicken and catfish deal. Both very juicy, hot, fresh, melt in your mouth like butter. Soo good! The smoked chicken wings, same thing. Such juicy chicken. Some of the best wings I've had. This place does not lack flavor. read more

my family and I bought $100 worth of food to go, and the only thing that was good was the side salad. I got the Cajun boil, the potatos and corn were completely mush and the shrimp were rubber. my husband got the pulled pork sandwich and there was no coleslaw or pickle. The German chocolate cake was so dry! I've never been so disappointed! read more

CALLING EVERYONE NEAR WEBB CITY...Tuesday 6/ 6th 2023 Grand Opening Make plans to go. Have you been waiting like so many for this place to open. WELL, let me tell you. I was lucky enough to go to the soft opening Sunday. I was not disappointed one bit(es). The food, service, atmosphere, and staff were fantastic. The portions Hugh, service right on time, and the overall quality was the best. Save room for dessert. I'll be keeping this place at the top of my list of places to go back to. read more

Service was very good! The restaurant always look busy but they still can get u seated quickly. The potato skins are my favorite, its so soft and cheesy and fills with a lot of bacon pieces. Wings were as huge and flavorful. I decided to try out their country fried steak and let say the portion is super huge. Its not my favorite from this place, but its not bad. The breading are too much, I don't know how to explain. Still taste ok though. The shrimp was delicious with the mac and cheese. They have other items on the menu that I will try next time. I also order the shrimp and crab leg boil and it was so good, I forgot to take a picture. This spot is good for big groups and parties to come for lunch and dinner. read more

We usually love Flat Creek. Generous portions, friendly staff. But tonight we a bit of a miss. We got the grilled catfish, NOT blackened. It was so salty we could not eat it. We sent it back. Got 4 more pieces. It was blackened. Still too salty, but we scraped add much as we could off and ate it anyway. Green beans, baked potato, and generous side salad were all good. The fish was moist. Wish we could have enjoyed it. We will come back, but will probably have the chicken. read more

We went to Republic to visit friend who had just moved there and went to Flat Creek for lunch, the food was AMAZING along with the service We will for sure eat there again, we would eat there every week if there was a restaurant closer to us in Excelsior Springs MO. Please consider putting a restaurant closer to us, thanks. read more

We had an event here last week and it was great service and a great experience! We had about 60 guests so they gave us the private room off to the side. We were able to hook up our AV stuff to play a presentation and video. The food was delicious and the wait staff was so nice and accommodating. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries and Mac and cheese and I could see a lot of people ordered the catfish and looked quite pleased. Three cheers for their servers who are so kind! read more
