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!

As a Texan, it pains me to write this but.... I think…read moreMissouri 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!

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.)

We had lunch at Cheddar's today, and it was a fantastic experience!…read more I ordered the 8 oz. sirloin, and it was really good. The steak was cooked just right, seasoned well, and the quality of the meat was much better than a steak I recently had at LongHorn Steakhouse. The LongHorn steak was unfortunately a bad cut of meat--it was soggy and unpleasant, even though it was seasoned and cooked properly. When we brought our concerns to the general manager there, we didn't feel like the issue was handled very well. Our experience at Cheddar's was completely different. The server was amazing, attentive, and friendly, and the general manager was extremely nice and made us feel welcome. I highly recommend the 8 oz. sirloin at Cheddar's. Great food, great service, and a management team that genuinely cares about the customer experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

I didn't know Guy Fieri's Branson Kitchen + Bar was located within Branson Landing outside mall…read moreuntil we got here. My eldest daughter and I both watch Guy Fieri on Food Network. This was our chance to dine at one of his restaurant establishments. Guy it is! Upon entry, we were added on the waitlist. It was about 30+ minutes wait. We were seated closer to the entrance so didn't get to see the rest of the restaurant layout. From what I could tell, pretty laid-back eatery with good open space and an abundance of inside and outside seating. Great place to watch sports, too. Menu had lots of dinner entree selections such as ribs, nachos, burgers & wings, plus cocktails. Prices were reasonably fair. I wanted a dish with fish and some greens. Baja Bowl seemed like a great choice, but it normally comes with roasted pork. For $5 more, I got it with salmon. Fish was fresh and nicely charred, but a tad overcooked. Brown rice, charred corn, black beans, pico de gallo, and all the pickings made it a hearty choice. My daughter got the Full Rack of St. Louis-Style Ribs for $32.95. Half Rack of Ribs were $28.95. Why not get the full rack for $4 more? It's a no brainer. Glad we did because we had ribs for breakfast the next morning. She liked the ribs, but unfortunately, they weren't falling off the bones type ribs. This was my first time trying St. Louis-Style ribs. It wasn't bad. Though the rub was a bit vinegary for me. I normally don't drink, but I was being adventurous that night. Got a glass of Angry Bird Apple Cider for $6. Good cider, but wished it was a bit colder. Our server, Raj, was amazing. He was very attentive and showed much care in making sure our dining needs were met throughout the night. Thank you so much Raj for the above and beyond service! One of the great restaurant choices at Branson Landing. Recommend! Btw, on our way out, I bought some Guy Fieri inspired souvenirs to take home. Yay!

Staff was great. The food? Not so much. I was visiting from Chicago and I tried the pork nachos…read more They tasted like NOTHING to my son and I. Cheddar cheese tasted flat! I couldn't find the black beans and meat was virtually none existent. So I flagged the waiter and they brought me the cheeseburger nacho instead. While I waited the Mac burger came out. Again, Mac and cheese layer and the burger patty tasted like no seasoning was added. My son loves Mac and cheese and he even said it tasted like Kraft. We then got the cheeseburger nachos hoping something would be good... Strike 3. The cheeseburger piece were so small you would think they were brown rice with how pellet size they were. The cheese sauce is absolutely worse than taco bell even. Honestly, just save your money and go to taco bell. The best part of all the dishes? The pickles that came on top of the cheeseburger nachos. Also, all their signature sauces were bad. Donkey was plain(taste like mayo), ranch tasted like garlic aoli(what the donkey was trying to be), spicy ketchup? Don't make me laugh. Bbq sauce? Again no flavor. For these reasons, I say skip it. My 12 son said to give this place half a star so I'm being generous.
