    Old Fashioned Honey & Long Island Cold Brew
    Natalie M.

    Hero's Family Restaurant is themed on first responders & military (past present and future)! Gotta love a theme like that! The sign out front grabbed our attention when it said "best onion rings in Missouri" & they weren't kidding! Get them! Drinks were good, tap selection was great! Flight of 4 surprise taps was great! Our waitress Faren was amazing and helped us with our questions and deciding what we wanted. So glad we stopped here and had some drinks and grub!

    Nachos, fried green tomatoes, beach bum beer and beer flight.

    Brittaney was a phenomenal bar tender! The vibe was chill, but nice still. The food... yall! Don't skip the fried green tomatoes... you'll order another round. The onion rings were good. Fresh!! And the fish and chips on point. Now, the nachos.... MUST HAVE. Try the beer flights, too!

    Fried green tomato BLT with fries and nachos

    Our poor waitress was awesome, she kept our drinks filled while we waited and waited for our food. My husband ordered the nachos made with crispy wontons, he said the wontons were so salty they were inedible and the meat on them had no flavor. Our poor waitress Tasher was able to get them taken off our bill. I was so looking forward to the fried green tomato BLT, because I had one in Florida at a small restaurant in the spring, that was so good, this one was super disappointing, instead of toasting the bread it was very thick cut bread that was fried on the grill top, which made it greasy and inedible, our neighbors across the way said the onion rings were awful too, I will say in their defense that the kitchen was short staffed, but the cooks that they had must have been super overwhelmed and has no heart to cook appetizing food. Save yourself the trouble.

    Service was fast and loaded wanton nachos were GREAT!! Great atmosphere for dinner! Will definitely get again!

    Great service. A ton of seats and parking. Old style restaurant with homey feel and decor. Lots of photos of police officers environment and other heroes. I had Grandma's catfish and my partner had the professors fish. Mine was lightly dusted and fried to perfection. The coleslaw was the surprise as It tastes like it has some type of seafood in it. The Mac & cheese tasted baked instead of just creamy wet. And we both ate with the side salad and soda for $50. Good prices good food and nicely located in a touristy area with lots to do and see within walking distance.

    Husband & I were there for the 1st time yesterday. Service & food were spot on! We will definitely be stopping in next time we are in town. Very veteran friendly!

    Strawberry salad with very good ranch dressing (instead of the vinaigrette)
    Annette R.

    Yelp reviews were just okay, but the only reason we chose this restaurant was because it was right across from the theater we had tickets for. Service wasn't terrible, the food wasn't terrible and the dining room wasn't terrible. But, nothing really stood out. I'm not sure how management is supposed to contend with the roller coaster of traffic (the inevitable deluges), given there must be a lot of other patrons with the same strategy for dinner that we had. We definitely arrived in the middle of high traffic, so patience was necessary. I ordered the strawberry salad with shrimp, which was pretty good. I liked the ranch dressing a lot (instead of the vinaigrette that is standard). Staff really tried, no doubt. I'm not sure if we would return, but we probably would at a time that wasn't so busy.

    House margarita was great!

    The food and margaritas are very good! Will definitely stop back by when we come back to Branson.

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!

    I am a certified American Royal BBQ judge. I am considered an expert in barbecue and have been a…read morejudge 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.)

The staff are students working to pay for their college tuition so the service was great! The food was good (most ingredients on site also made by students) portions were huge, the price was decent, place was clean and much better then any touristy type restaurant near or on the strip, so much so we came here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently. Definitely make reservations and give this place a try.

    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!

I recently returned a year after the first visit, and it hasn't changed a bit. The menu is extensive insofar as classic American fare is concerned, but this isn't the kind of place you'll find 4 clever variations on Eggs Benedict. Anything named after Benedict Arnold has no place in the Ozarks. A year ago, I ordered a western omelet, which commanded my attention and exertions for the better part of 20 minutes. The portions are definitely generous - the pancakes are the size of pizzas. If you're on Ozempic, either skip this place or confine yourself to a single slice of wheat toast. Some gals in the group demurely ordered half portions of biscuits and gravy, thinking a dainty portion would show dedication to preserving their girlish figures. These "half portions" filled the entire (largish) plate. I made a mental note to opt for this on any future visit, and that future arrived this week. Biscuits were country-good, and the gravy was substantial, not that watery stuff that is sometimes drizzled on Pillsbury-from-the-tube biscuits. If you're in Branson, head a little south of the dam to Hungry Hunter. Get there early, because this place is deservedly popular and there will probably be a wait. And the parking can be a bit contentious. It's not open on Monday or Tuesday.
