Blackberry pie à la mode
Alexandra S.

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!

Tina,Mancow, & Barry Williams. These 2 are locals and recommended the place.

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.

Pulled pork plate, baked beans, cream corn brûlée
Samantha M.

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!

Daniel A.

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.

Menu 6/25/26 side B

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.

Ribs
Ashten G.

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.

Burnt ends
Sarah M.

Excellent bbq. Burnt ends were my favorite. Hearty food and great customer service. The sides of corn and mac and cheese was delicious

Old 76 Smokehouse

TEXAN here & frequent visitor to TX Top 50 BBQ (TX Monthly updates every 4 yrs), which as you know…read moreis the king of the cuisine. I'm certain I've the experience to know what good BBQ is & isn't. And, boy howdy, this IS! Without a doubt, if Old 76 were in TX, they'd easily be on that coveted list of world renowned BBQ joints. That's truthfully rare to find outside the state. Situated exactly between Branson & West Branson, is this gem that's clean cut & the BBQ, sides too, is superbly executed. I'm not saying stuff to sound good. This is L E G I T, the real deal. They're pushing TRUE barbecue as it ought to be, not like some wannabe. I dare you to try any other place & find the same superb quality for ALL aspects. Get there before opening because the line gets long fast & the ordering takes time. There's limited seating that fills up quickly. I only wish it were larger in space & had the capacity for more help in front than 1 person. But for modestly using the limited space adjacent to a gas station, it's tastefully & professionally decorated & comfortable, just right for what it is, as opposed to the tacky, out-dated & sparse, or overdone interior that one tends to see elsewhere. Waiting for BBQ is honestly an experience & you must be prepared to wait your turn. That's how it is in TX for all the joints, folks ordering FCFS after waiting patiently in line for hours until sell-out. It's worth waiting on & building camaraderie with those about you. After all, you're about to celebrate gastronomically, I promise! Best sides: ALL of them but especially the corn casserole. You'd think it's vegetable bread pudding, it's so scrumptious!! Beans are no less than fantastic with bits of brisket - so warm & comforting. Potato salad is just a massive winner of full-mouthed goodness that's not typically mayo-ed down. Don't pass up the mighty fine coleslaw for topping your pulled-pork, pickles & bread for a highlight finish. Speaking of pickles, add more as a great acidic accompaniment. The sauce here is on the sweet side. It's really not needed AT ALL except to occasionally boost the flavor kick if taking leftovers for later. The meat's simple pepper & salt crust is all you need. & speaking of the Meats: Truly the star of the show as they should be. See the platter photo for yourself. Pick of choice or prime brisket. Prime for us. We could've appreciated a little bit thicker of a smoke ring but it was there despite the fast cook it probably endured. It needed to be a little less done on the fatty side but it was awfully tender anyway. Absolutely a winner brisket done right, so I can sweat the small stuff. All said, the perfect seasoning & bark set the tone & to me for brisket, that is most important. 99% perfect. Chicken: dark meat extra peppery & almost overdone but the white meat was super tender & nice to eat. It doesn't take away from the whole goodness of the platter though. Bologna: these ain't no lame Oscar Meyer store bought flappers. Talk about thickly cut, juicy heaven! Wow is all I can say - absolutely YUMMY. Pulled Pork: P I G G Y P E R F E C T. Don't even need sauce! Use the pillowy potato bread to die & go to taste bud heaven with rivers of salivation. This is so succulent, you might keep it all for yourself in a group setting. Ribs: BEST OF SHOW. These are guaranteed to be the best ribs in MO. Perfect pull & bite. 2 stacks of the thick bone-in pig walls left me amazed after just seeing the miraculous color & cook on the exterior of these spares. Their taste & texture solidified that Old 76 Smokehouse is the most bona fide BBQ joint I've ever been to in the Midwest. These ribs aren't somewhat good enough, they are majestic. My only wish is they'd had a beef rib aka meat candy option too. Desserts: both Bread Pudding & Key Lime Pie are highlights not to be missed. Stacked tall & the absolute righteous finish to seal the deal for such an experience. I just can't say enough good things about Old 76. Loved it so much, our 5-guy party bought shirts & a hat to wear in TX & TN. If this was local for us, "O76S" would be a frequent stop. We're BIG fans now. Last but not least, the gentleman working the show & taking orders was kinder than Jesus. He treated us right, & that's a fact. Talk about hospitality to the Nth degree. Ain't nobody going to be sad about that & we'll remember this kindness in anticipation of being right back ASAP! What we couldn't stuff ourselves above the gullet, we took home & all the girls promptly & heartily finished it off exclaiming how wonderful it was. They only missed out on the experience but not the tenderness & flavor!! Visitors & locals alike, DO NOT MISS this opportunity to dine like a king!! You will have died & gone to Texas, I mean heaven! One con & warning: if you don't have a truck with ample under-carriage space, avoid the furthest drive-way next to the fence. It is too steep & you WILL run aground, as we did. Enter & exit on the gas station side only.

It's rare that I'll even try Barb-B-Q outside of Kansas, Texas or Tennessee and I know there are…read moresome good spots, but I've been burned by more bad than good. The brisket was amazing, the fries and beans were also very good. I'll be heading back to try other menu options as soon as possible. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!!

We settled on a fried pork tenderloin and a single burger. The food was excellent, freshly prepared, and piping hot upon arrival. The staff was very helpful and attentive. You order at the counter and take your number to the table and the kitchen delivers it in a very reasonable time. The drinks are self-serve but members of the staff asked if I'd like a refill and did the running for me. They even brought me a "to-go" cup when we finished our meal. It was very comfortable and quiet during our visit but with a full dining room it has the potential to be a bit noisier. With a live band, it could be more than a bit louder. Tips: Head to the back and browse the vendor booths on the way. Expect to make some compromise decisions. You can't eat everything at one visit. On the way out buy something and support a local vendor. The building's purpose to give local vendors a place to sell. No vendors will cause the grill's rent to skyrocket.

Ribs are never ever tough (or obliterated). The smoked turkey always has such moisture. The kind of moisture coming from the meat - (not) some juice poured on it. Sides: Have their beans and tell me they're (not) some of best you've had! - These owner folks care and take a pride in every plate they put out. This is a husband/wife team that cares and works well together in what they do. There is (no) better BBQ in the SW Missouri area....nothing comes close to this place. So, I suggest this place is one (you) go to soon!

Me and my buddy decided to visit Branson for a movie and we decided to stop in at a random place to…read moreeat. We decided on Crazy Craig's treehouse, one that looked like cozy simple affordable food. Upon walking into the establishment, we discovered that the parking lot is a tight entry with the infamous Branson hills. The exterior was appealing and cool to look at yet the interior was cramped and barely any room to sit. They did have a nice area to sit upstairs though the pool table upstairs didn't contain the ball rack and the table was incredibly dirty/unmaintained. Moving onto the service. We were told to sit anywhere and someone would come and check on us, it was several minutes before someone came to check what we wanted with little to no business going on. However they were nice so that was a nice plus. The pricing for this place is a little overpriced for the simple food menu they have. We paid 10 dollars for chips and queso and the serving size that was on the platter was barely enough to feed us both. Our main entrees were easily 15 dollars a plate and not to mention that it took quite a lot of time for everything to come out. The overall taste of the food/drinks were very disappointing. My Dr Pepper was extremely flat no matter a refill or not, the chips were stale, and the queso tasted like fake cheese (only cheese I can compare it to is lunchables). My chicken sandwich I ordered was incredibly subpar: especially since when I pay 15 dollars for a sandwich I want a patty and not two chicken tenders plastered on a bun. Especially the pepper jack cheese on my tender sandwich had absolutely no spice which made me believe it was fake cheese as well. Even the pepper from the shaker only had a hint of the taste of pepper. The worst experience in this first and last visit was the fact that the pepper sauce (hot sauce) was all expired. Our tables sauce had expired on July 2025! I checked other tables and only one of the tables had a September 2027 date the rest had May 2025. So I didn't use any condiments on my food which overall ruined my meal. The only truly good food product I had was the French fries so if you go here just order the fries from the appetizer section and seeing how they are a bar as well: drink while you're here because you will need it to get through main entrees. Overall: friendly slow service, bad food, bad soda, and tight space and parking lot. Not worth your time!
