Karmen was an incredible server. She had energy and good ol' southern hospitality for days! She even let us sample burnt ends before ordering and happily changed out a side we didn't like. The service was very fast. The brisket was pretty decent, though I wish they had more barbecue sauce options (the spicy tasted just like the mild). The mac and cheese was delicious (creamy and not too sharp). The steamed veggies were very salty and soft. The fries were a little too crispy, but they were served nice and hot. I was not a fan of the poblano corn, because the corn itself was very tough, chewy, and not at all sweet. The baked beans and ribs were apparently delicious, but I didn't try them since I don't eat pork. The blackberry pie had a very thick and non-flaky crust, and the insides were a little syrupy.
As a Texan, it pains me to write this but.... I think Missouri may have us beat on ribs yall. What a fantastic barbecue experience. I thought these ribs here were much better than anything we tried in Kansas City. While the smoke flavor isn't as pronounced as Texas style the dry rub and layering of flavor on the ribs was superb. I was pleasantly surprised by the brisket. While it lacked the intense smoke I'm used to and deeply rich bark, it was quite tender. The ribs however were a 10/10!
We stopped at Gettin' Basted while vacationing in Branson and had to try a little bit of everything! He went for a loaded burger piled with BBQ meat, while I ordered a mix of meats and sides so I could sample a few different things. The burnt ends and ham were my favorites, and I'm always happy when a BBQ spot has good fried okra--Gettin' Basted definitely delivered on that too! If you're looking for a good BBQ spot while visiting Branson, this is one to add to your list.
A Bloody Mary with a sampler skewer of all their meats...need I say more? In all seriousness, we walked in to a packed restaurant. When the hostess said it would be a 20 minute wait I didn't really believe her with the number of people standing around the entrance, but they have their operations and logistics figured out. If you can't tell from the start of my review, we think the Basted Mary is an absolute must order. It is an experience like no other. Both the Mary itself and the meat skewer were flavorful and rich and complemented one another fantastically. The chili fries were not bad, but I would just recommend sticking with the BBQ. Our burnt ends plate was fantastic, and so was the slaw and the okra we got with it. By far one of the best restaurants in the Branson area and a must visit!
I am a certified American Royal BBQ judge. I am considered an expert in barbecue and have been a judge in many many contests. Good news and bad news... Bad news? I walked in and they gave me the absolute worst seat in the house in an empty restaurant. WHY? I mean right next to the kitchen. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The beared-fellow that was host seemed miffed that I didn't want that seat. Maybe I read the situation wrong however. I moved back to the front by a window. Better. The waitress was an elderly gal from Texas that was quite sweet. The restaurant itself is an unattractive mess. I mean, just tacky tacky tacky. Like an old Sizzler steakhouse covered with cartoon pig art. One of the most unattractive "dining" rooms I have had the displeasure of sitting in. The good news? The ribs are some of the best I've had. Caramelized burnt sugar on the tips. A great sauce. Nice pull away. Etc. Just pork perfection. The BBQ sauce on the table is superior to anything else they can bring out. Stick with that. It's an excellent sauce. So this is a tough review. I didn't try anything else, but the ribs.. and they were next level great. So of you go here and my review doesnt jive - remember I ONLY had the ribs. This is a 2 star place but I am going higher because the ribs are just so doggone outstanding. Best ribs in Branson. (Oh, and I think the name of the place is lame too.)
Our family stopped in for lunch while on vacation and were seated right away with a large family. Our server, Justin, was prompt to our table to get us drinks and appetizer orders. We had our order within 10 minutes of ordering during lunch rush hour! Food was great. Kids ordered wings and stated they were the best wings they've had. Memphis sandwich was great and perfect portion amount. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for BBQ.
One of my favorite barbecue places here in Branson! The food is always amazing, and their breakfast is really good too. I always enjoy coming here, and the quality and flavor never disappoint. The only minor issue this time was that my brisket was a little chewy and seemed slightly overdone. Even with that, the overall experience was still excellent.
First of all, it was a Saturday night and we didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes, so that's good! The food overall was delicious. My pulled pork was juicy and the bbq sauce was sweet and savory. On the other hand, I found the baked beans to be a little underwhelming and the sauce sour? I guess where I come from I'm used to baked beans being mostly sweet. The corn side was definitely a stand out to me! It was packed full of flavor and the portion size is nice. I would definitely recommend this place if you're a fan of bbq!
Absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was packed with flavor--perfectly smoked meats, great seasoning, and sauces that actually complement instead of overpower. Portions were solid, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere had that classic Branson BBQ vibe--casual, welcoming, and just a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Staff was friendly and kept things moving without making it feel rushed. If you're in Branson and want legit BBQ, this is a must-stop. Definitely one of the better spots in the area.
Had to try some BBQ in Branson and stopped by this place. Note that they had just reopened for two days after the winter close out. We ordered the meat smaller plate and brunt ends. Turned out they were out of burnt ends at 5:00. Problem is they were also out of brisket at the same time. Lots of unhappy customers. Saying that: the chicken, ribs and sausage we had was all very good. Great flavor and the meat was all well smoked. Corn pudding and baked beans were also very good. My only suggestion is the place plan for more main essentials being a BBQ place.
Decor is typical BBQ joint. Lots of sheet metal, ribbons and pig images. The good - Service was five star. BBQ sauce good sweet flavor. The bad - food was a disappointment primarily due to hype from others and ratings on Yelp. Got Waygu brisket. That must be the name of all their cows because there was nothing tender fatty or delicious about this. It was dry, VERY chewy and definitely needed sauce to be enjoyed. Nothing good about this meat by itself which I expect from good BBQ. Sides were decent size but beans had a different, harsh flavor that was not pleasant. Potato salad was ok flavor but dry as well. Not bad, but not what I like in potato salad. We decided not to spend more money and be disappointed in a dessert.
This is our second time visiting from out of town and it was just as delicious as the first time. Everyone loved what they got, including the pastrami, ribs, and sweet potato fries. Our server Justin was so on top of everything with our big party and incredibly friendly. The ambience is of your typical barbecue place, but clean and lots of booth and table seating. Good for big parties or small.
Excellent bbq. Burnt ends were my favorite. Hearty food and great customer service. The sides of corn and mac and cheese was delicious

Seen the owner on food network figured why not give it a try. The Miami wasn't to bad with plenty of ham and pulled pork. The potato salad was creamy but really had no flavoring. The Austin was really good. The brisket was nice and moist and had a really good smoke ring and the flavor matched. The sweet potato fries were cold when they delivered the plate but before anything could be said a fresh plate of hot crispy sweet potato fries came out and those were really good. The cold ones yeah those were not eaten. April the bar tender was super friendly and made sure everything was up to par. read more

Absolutely PHENOMENAL food. Server was nice and friendly and made sure we had everything. Was very busy when we went but we only had to wait about 15 minutes. It's casual and busy inside and there were lots of families with kids. The Basted Mac was divine with yummy savory pork belly on top. The sweet potato fries were good but the onion straws stole the show for me! The bologna was good and rich tasting- perfect with the sweet BBQ. Husband loved the Nashville hot- although it wasn't as spicy as he expected. The thick bacon on top really added to it! All over 10/10 and will be back if we are in town again :) read more

OH MY GOODNESS the BBQ was falling off the bone here and the sauce...? Absolutely delicious! Lots of choices too. Big menu. The Mac n Cheese was super yummy. Hubby and I shared the ribs and chicken plate. It was plenty! And Betty, our server was very gracious. Be good to Betty. She's working hard at everything! We enjoyed the bbq very much. read more
Was blown away just walking in. There were awards all over the walls. It was Friday night but only had to wait about 10 minutes, which was a surprise. Our waiter (Joshua) was exceptional in helping us decide what would best satisfy our desires. As a table we had ribs, burnt ends, and a waygu burger. The burger was excellent, but the generous portion of burnt ends was the winner. They were moist and tender, but not fattty. They had just a little texture to them with just enough sauce to taste like meat candy. The ribs were very tasty but on the dry side (could have been because it was later at night). There was only one sauce on the table which means they don't really expect you to mess with what's been served very much. It was slightly sweet and smokey (ok, I did taste it) but none of us used it at all. All the sides were very tasty, expecially yhr corn brulee and sweet potatoe casserole. Despite the ribs (which I'll give another chance), we'll definitely be back. read more

First time to this restaurant, my waitress Betty was extremely helpful and kind in recommending me the "Moo" and her recommendation couldn't of been any better the food was amazing and the vibe is very artistic and vibrant. read more
Enjoyed dinner here after a busy day of hiking. The restaurant was crowded but I was able to sit immediately at the bar. The bartender was busy but very pleasant and attentive. The food really hit the spot. I got the moink with a side of veggies and I subbed sweet potato waffle fries for regular fries which was a good move. Everything was delicious and it wasn't slathered in BBQ sauce although you could if you wanted. The pulled pork was tender and not fatty. The veggies were over seasoned for me and nothing special but overall the meal hit the spot and I would go back! read more
My brother and I are visit from Utah and California. While playing golf a local suggested this restaurant. Ample parking, sat down within 2 minutes. Waitress was very attentive. We ordered drinks and food. Brother ordered wygu brisket and I the half chicken and ribs. OMG so fricken tasty. Good price for serving. Neither one is could finish and we took home leftovers.

Our team made this a dinner stop after one of our softball games. We had a large party but we were still seated fairly quickly. Our server was a nice young lady who we learned attended the same college as our girls. As for the food, I was born and raised in KC and live in STL, and although this bbq was slightly different than what I am used to, I really enjoyed it. I ordered the turkey platter with fried okra and the poblano creme brulee corn. The turkey wasn't very smoky but it had good seasoning on it and was moist. It didn't dry out even when reheated the next day. I absolutely loved the corn. It was probably my favorite. You would enjoy it if you are ok with a sweet and savory corn. My husband and daughter had the wings. One had the hot buffalo and the other the spicy teriyaki. They both liked them but wish they had more spice to them. My husband also had the tamales which he enjoyed. He liked how well the brisket chili and onions paired with the tamales. My other daughter had the ribs with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. She felt like her ribs were too sweet. She thought that if they had a spicy bbq sauce it would have helped but their sauce is pretty sweet as well. We only noticed there was 1 bbq sauce choice. We didn't have any issues with our service but some of the people in our party had issues with their orders. Our server did get best to get everything fixed for them. Overall, everything was pretty good. read more

Although highly recommended by 2 local patrons, our recent dinner visit to Gettin' Basted was not terrible, but also not memorable! This BBQ spot decor was very much a flex as it showcased their awards, trophies and accolades all over the walls and ceiling. The place looked pretty well kept but it had an average BBQ joint feel. We rolled in around 7 PM famished from a day under the sun and having skipped lunch after a late breakfast at 11. My son and I shared the ribs and chicken plate along with a side of smoked ham, pairing it with mac and cheese, baked beans, and cream corn brûlée. I'd rate the food a mediocre 2.5 stars, and here's why: everything arrived in record time but tepid--seriously, who serves BBQ lukewarm? I know BBQ can't be cooked to order, but there's got to be a way to keep it hot. Some places manage just fine! The ribs and chicken were decent enough--tender and seasoned well enough to be palatable. The smoked ham leaned a bit salty but still packed a nice punch. The mac and cheese? Let's just say it was very much giving Kraft from a box! And while the baked beans had potential with a variety of beans, the tomato flavor was way too dominant! The cream corn would've likely been a hit if it had been served hot, but alas, it was not to be. As for the sweet tea? It was weak to the point of being laughable--like sipping on tea that had soaked in ice for hours. On the bright side, the service was quick and friendly. Our server, Crystal, was attentive, hustling between multiple tables. She even offered to replace my food after I mentioned its temperature. I appreciated the offer, but my stomach told me to decline since I was too hungry to wait any longer. Despite her warmth and the swift service, the uninspired food soured the experience a bit. But overall, thanks to our lovely server and the speed at which we were served, I'd bump my score from a 2.5 to a respectable 3.5! read more

Heard that Gettin Basted had a breakfast menu and decided to give it a try! It was amazing! My fav (surprisingly) were the cheesy grits. Best grits I have had! Great flavor! Everything was amazing and they gave big portions! Not a lot of people know they have breakfast so it wasn't busy at all. Our server was great and made sure we enjoyed our food! When we visit Branson again, we will be back!!! read more

Found this place on Yelp when we were visiting Branson, Missouri. Amazing. We ordered a little bit of everything. The corn was my favorite. The bologna was really good, better than expected! Our service was awesome; she helped us pick what to get. Big tables; nothing too fancy. Great for large groups, family or a date night! read more
