Amazing food we love this place! Best brisket and ribs around. Jesse is the best server ever!

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. read more

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. read more

Being locals, we've tried just about every BBQ spot in Branson, and Gettin' Basted is by far our favorite. Nothing else even comes close. The burnt ends and brisket are my go to choices every time. They're tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The pickles and peppers are absolutely delicious and add the perfect kick to the meal. And the potato salad tastes just like grandma used to make. It's classic, creamy, and full of flavor. Highly recommend! 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

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

Keeping in mind this is the off-season for Branson they had a pretty brisk business at noon on a Wednesday. We get barbecue wherever we go on vacation and I'm a road warrior and nearly always get barbecue all across the USA. Gettin' Basted had some of the best barbecue I've had in a long time. When my wife and I go for barbecue we always do family style. We ordered the ribs and chicken platter with mac and cheese and bbq baked beans. We added the jalapeño sausage and a half pound of brisket. The common theme that followed each item was a great smoky flavor, not overdone, and tender without falling apart. As barbecue should be. I do not care for meat that falls apart as soon as you touch it, as many places offer. The ribs had a slight tug. The brisket would hold up under it's own weight as you lift a slice. The chicken was perfectly smoked and not dried out. The sausage was moist. The jalapeño gave it a bit of a welcome bite without overpowering the taste of the pork. TLDR: if you like great barbecue, do yourself a huge favor, get your whole family to Gettin' Basted! read more

We are from Indiana and we travel to Branson for our anniversary every year. We make a point to try new restaurants during our visit. Hands Down this place Topped the chart. My husband got the Porker and I had the Burnt end burger , the absolute BEST BBQ we have ever tasted. So when you visit Branson stop by Gettin' Basted. I promise ,YOU will not be disappointed. April was our server and she knew how to sell the menu she was super. Oh and let's not forget dessert. The Cobbler of the day was Blackberry cobbler with a shareable scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was lip smackin' y'all. The place was decorated with awards displaying the love for Bbq. We will be back. read more

Amazing service!!! Amazing food!! The vibe was pretty amazing as well. I ordered the brisket, corn and sweet potatoes. Look I don't know what you guys put in that corn dish but it was amazing!!!!! We're going back tomorrow night for our last meal before heading out Monday. Also, brisket was tender and nicely sliced... and the sweet potatoes stuff was great too... honestly had nothing bad to say about the place! Plus they give military discount thank you 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

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Compared this place to Famous Dave's and it blows it out of the water. Only thing im missing here is the cornbread muffins!!! Service was very tentative and helpful. Ordered the blackout sandwich and 1/2 lb of lean brisket aswell as a side of Mac n cheese. Everything was very very good. Only thing I had a little bit of an issue with was the sausage was barely luke warm. I dont know if this is normal or not bc it was still good but I would have preferred it be hot! Building was a nice size and pretty clean. The bathrooms need better taken care of tho. 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!

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

We chose this place based on the reviews. Casual restaurant with photos and awards throughout. We were here in the late afternoon, so it wasn't busy. Got seated right away. Food was quick. The BBQ sauce was very tasty, as well as the pickles. I enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich, but the onion straws were just too greasy. My husband liked his Waygu brisket- but said it wasn't the best he's had. His fries were overly greasy as well. It's a good BBQ joint, just didn't turn out to be one of our favorites. Still would give it a 3.5/5. read more

We were told this was the best barbecue joint in Branson, Missouri. Honestly, I thought this rated three stars but my wife said they were better than that. Definitely not five star barbecue joint. Please don't get me wrong. The barbecue here is respectable. Lots of award winning BBQ. If you follow me, you'll notice that I eat a lot of different barbecue and a lot of different barbecue joints. Gettin Basted was mediocre to good. Maybe it's good for Missouri, but in Texas.... The service was good. Our waiter was a very energetic guy from the Ukraine, he was good The restaurant was a typical barbecue joint. Nothing really special, or bad here. If you're looking for some decent barbecue, this is not a bad place read more

Walked in on a Friday afternoon. Was immediately sat down. After looking over menu, we both decided on sandwiches. Best decision ever! They're chopped and sliced beef on their burgers are so juicy and tender. Their french fries are very crispy and have a distinct taste, little sweet. Add the barbecue sauce and you have your sweet-and-sour delectable food. As you look around, you will see tons of BBQ awards For their amazing BBQ. I can see how they're winning tons of awards. Being from Texas, we know our barbecue. And I'd say this is one of the best! The food came out hot and very fresh. Tons of food, so bring your appetite. The server was very attentive and friendly. Gave us tons of recommendations. Since we had never been here. Ended up taking half of our sandwiches with us. It was so much. We will be back!! read more

I was very pleased with the burnt ends. The brisket wasn't bad either, but the burnt ends were better. I wouldn't give it a 4 stars for a few reasons. The meat was cooked very well with good tenderness. The flavor profile is the part I'm a little disappointed with...but it's hard to explain. When I go to BBQ joints I look for a uniqueness to separate them from the others. While BBQ sauce is great is what a lot of people point to, the meat flavor is just as important. The meat flavor was good but the quality of the meat and how it was cooked was better. I would've have liked to see a unique flavor profile that I could attribute to Gettin' Basted--as an establishment--to give it a higher rating. BBQ joints that make an impact on me are the ones who nail and stick to their style. This is usually a specific flavor profile that is unique, specific, and consistent in repetition and consistently separating themselves from the rest. The service was 10/10 I forgot his name but he said he was from Kazakhstan. We came here after Sight and Sound on my mom's birthday and he made our dining experience pleasant and memorable. It's not a bad joint by any means and most likely the best BBQ in Branson. I will return. read more

This was just an average place. Just not very good compared to the other bbq places we had went. Our server didn't seem to know much we asked for suggestions and he was a little reluctant to give us advice. It was a big spread out restaurant. Ribs were tough, brisket was very fatty, didn't care for the sides. Didn't care for the bbq sauce on top of the okra. read more

Our group tried the BBQ nachos with chicken, burgers, and brisket sandwich. Although this is a BBQ Place, we all agreed that the BBQ wasn't very good. The sauce was overly sweet. The burgers were better, so if you eat here, order a burger! They were out of pudding, sadly. The service was good. read more

This was my first time to Gettin' Basted. We were a table of 4 and were seated right away on a weeknight for dinner. It was fairly busy so I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the St Louis Ribs Plate and the ribs were good! We also ordered the brisket and sadly that was just ok. They were a bit dry and I wish we'd ordered something else. My kids however went with the "molly" burgers and they were DELICIOUS!! The molly sauce was very yummy, the burgers were huge, and the fries were overflowing. I'd definitely recommend a burger or sandwich next time because I felt like those were a better deal and tasted better. Atmosphere was just ok, but family friendly. 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

While visiting Branson, Missouri, we decided to try Gettin' Basted after seeing its fantastic reviews and it did not disappoint! SERVICE: 5/5 The service was excellent! Our server was quick, attentive, and friendly, checking in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The staff's hospitality really enhanced our dining experience. FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the Wagyu brisket with mac and cheese and corn brûlée. The sides were flavorful and paired beautifully with the brisket. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, while the corn brûlée added a unique touch of sweetness. As for the brisket, it had a great smoky flavor and was tender, though slightly on the dry side. Fortunately, the provided sauce complemented it well and helped balance the texture. read more

Right on the strip. Parking in the back. Prepare to wait on the weekend but totally worth it. The awards on the walls say it all. Wagu brisket is melt in you mouth and succulent. No sauce needed. Seasoning is on point. The sauce is good but on the sweet side. Ribs were tender. Came sauced with a dusting of rub seasoning which we loved. Okra was cooked perfect. Potato salad is good and made in house not deli like most bbq places. Staff was friendly and attentive. Great place. Totally recommend read more

I really enjoy great bbq and it's even better when the flavor is smoked in the meats and no sauce is needed. I remember trying the sauce but don't remember much about it because the meat was so tender and flavorful I didn't use it. The sides were equally as good. The restaurant was packed so we sat at the bar and the bartender was super attentive. He racked and stacked the sides and we took his recommendations. They were great. He also made some fantastic drinks! I'd definitely return read more

My wife raved about the huge side salad too. Our waitress was amazing too. She was super friendly and efficient, and took great care of us. Pro tip: There are no combo platters, so order a platter (1/2lb meat + 2 sides) then order another 1/2lb meat only to share. Definitely the place to get BBQ in Branson. read more
