Best kept secret in Branson. Burger just rated best in MO by an independent reviewer. Come by 5 on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday for the best musicians in Branson playing country, classic rock, and a little gospel. We love this place and go frequently! read more

You'll need to make your way to the far end of the building to find the grill. The menu has much to choose from and there are decisions to be made. 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. read more

Excellent food, deceptive billing practices. I love the food here and have never had a bad meal, but their pricing model has become incredibly frustrating. Pickin' Porch forces a mandatory 10% "staff tip" on all orders. Because you stand in line and pay at a counter before you are even tended to, they are essentially demanding a tip before providing any service. Sometimes you stand in line for longer than it takes to receive the food you're paying a 10% premium on. If a business needs to cover higher staff costs, they should just raise menu prices. Forcing a surprise surcharge at the register is a cheap tactic. Furthermore, didn't ask, but suspect one is likely required to pay this fee even if you're just getting food to-go. For a restaurant located inside a craft mall, playing these corporate "gotcha" fee games feels completely out of place in this wonderful spiritual community Branson has always been. Branson is a city built on genuine kindness... However, Pickin Porch Grill's compulsory 10% tipping fee billing practice is the exact opposite of the nature of Branson. Come for the food, but be prepared for a frustrating mandatory fee at the register. read more

Pickin Porch Grill was kind of a surprise hidden gem. This restaurant is in the back of a craft mall but don't let that fool you. The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are large enough to share. I highly recommend the onion rings and pork tacos. Walk up to the counter, order, pay, and tip (tip was included In the bill) then pick you your seat. They have seating accommodations for large groups and live music on accession. As a side note....If you park on agents the building watch out for busses. They will block you in. read more

Quick and friendly service. Food was good and hot! The fried rolls sound odd, but they were really good! We were not there on a night they have live music, but in Branson, it has to be good! read more

I recently discovered a fantastic store/restaurant that offers a wide range of dishes, including tacos, meat plates, and awesome burgers. I decided to try their single burger, and it was delicious . The burger was made to perfection, with super fresh meat, a thick patty, and a delicious sauce. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and very comfortable. It's a great place to host large parties. read more

Big Real beef delicious burgers at a decent price. Seasoned fries, good sauces, and a huge shopping gift store area. Live band stage. No music while we visited which I prefer but like the option. Ample seating. Photo opportunity out front with massive chair. Did get acid reflux within 2 hours of meal. Not sure if they use liquid smoke but I always get reflux when food is cooked with that type of stuff. read more

Pickin Porch Grill - Burgers and fries - Burgers Near Me - Branson, Missouri

What's not to love about this place? It has a fully stocked store with almost any home good items you can think of plus a full restaurant in the back! Wow. I was truly impressed as we came here on a random Wednesday night, but there were 14 of us in our party. They take your order before sitting down. I was most impressed with how quick and friendly the service was. I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich and loved it. There was no sandwich left. I could've ate the green tomatoes alone. The breading on that is so tasty. The sauce also adds a good flare. The fries weee cooked and seasoned perfectly. Prices aren't bad either! 10 out of 10 recommend read more

Pickin Porch Grill - Carne asada fries - Burgers Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Was there for lunch today. Food was OK but nothing to write home about. We had a cheeseburger and pork tenderloin both with fries. The fries were great with a little seasoning and a good crunch. Did not appreciate the mandatory 10% service fee. They do not appreciate 34 years of military service by providing any discounts. Too many other places with good food and discounts to enjoy. read more

Delicious food, and crowded - so you know it's popular.. Come in prepared to walk thru the Market area, and if you are headed for food and music, head to the back.. A little too loud, as obvious by the decibel monitor on the close end of one of the aisles. If they would invest in a little sound insulation randomly, it could help. I highly recommend making a courtesy routine for people with standing or walking handicap. It would be helpful to have the Order Taking for To-Go or Take Out handled by someone in the front of the building or an office. Delicious food, good shopping. I expect to come back. Sorry folks, no pics.. I'll try again or add some later. read more

Good food, good service, and portions big enough to make you question your life choices--in the best way. My chicken strips were a bit dry, which kept this from being a 5-star visit, but the Green Fried BLT was phenomenal and completely stole the show. The carne asada fries were loaded with flavor and could easily feed a small army (or one very determined diner). Overall, a great meal, and I'd happily come back for another round. read more

We were searching for a place to have a quick lunch near our Airbnb and stumbled upon Pickin Porch Grill. We were a little confused when we pulled into "Branson Craft Mall"--and even more confused when we walked into the craft mall and didn't see any food. But all the way at the back of the building is Pickin Porch Grill. We tried a few different things--a pulled pork plate, a burger, and the grilled chicken salad. Everything was really good, and honestly exceeded our expectations. The restaurant has counter service, but they were so friendly and helpful despite not having table service. One employee even saw a couple of us were running low on drinks and offered to get us refills. It looks like they may have live music there, but we went during the day before high tourist season, so it was pretty quiet. read more

Pickin Porch Grill - Grilled Chicken Salad -- it's a large portion and comes with tons of ranch - Burgers Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This was such a great little surprise! My hubby and I shared the Catfish Plate and for us it was plenty and plenty delicious! I actually considered ordering more but didn't. If you're hungry, go inside and walk all the way to the back of the craft mall until you reach the dining area and the order desk on the left. The servers are all very helpful and the ambiance is fun if you like to wander through crafters aisles. I found a really great hair clip for my daughter AND had a very satisfying dinner! There's a little something for everyone in this little gem of a mall. Unfortunately I did not take any pics on this one. read more

Not a regular restaurant, should not be listed as one. Only an order and sit down place.

Well worth the stop. Had a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. Also pulled pork fries. Both choices were superb. Great staff. Quick services. Friendly. To top it off some really good live music. When your finished chowing check out the craft booths. If you have the means I highly recommend it! read more

Fabulous food and friendly service! The Porch Burger is my favorite. We love to stop in for lunch when we are in town. Highly recommend!

This was a great place to eat. It was very clean and plenty of attentive employees. The menu had plenty of options.

Loved bringing all the kids here. There were so many cool things to look at. And the food was absolutely amazing. The staff were very friendly! And the vibes were definitely right! read more

Let's start with this restaurant is located in a flea market. Not there is anything wrong with that. The food was okay. But, what can you expect. We went strictly due to the reviews. Being completely honest, I would've rather dined somewhere else. I had the French Dip and my husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich. Both were not all that impressive. The staff were all super sweet. read more

We saw this place and pulled in to check it out. It's a cute antique store with a restaurant and bar in back We had amazing burgers and fries. Service was great. It's self service drink station and the servers refilled our drinks and were quite lovely read more

This place is a great place to shop and have lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is lively and inviting. It is a craft store with local vendors and a restaurant in the back. We stopped here for lunch and was surprised to find that it was a store as well. The menu is on the wall and very well displayed. The food is really delicious! My husband and I split the Chicken Salad Sandwich and fries meal. The chicken salad has pineapple in it....wow! The sandwich and fries were so good and delicious! Our son had the Chicken Tender meal. It came with fries, baked beans, cole slaw, and a roll. Everything was served hot and fresh and with a smile ! Wow, customer service was great!!! The bathroom had a sugar scrub to try after you washed your hands. Wow, was it amazing! We bought some! I highly recommend this place! An older gentleman told us they have the best burgers he has ever had! Looking forward to coming back and trying the burgers! read more

I refuse to pay a mandatory 10% tip to stand in line to order food. This is a money grab

Been there many times especially for their delicious Asada Taco's but the last few times the meat doesn't taste the same. It's lacking that special delicious flavor. I sure hope they bring it back. read more

Great burgers. Next time I'm trying the nachos, although the burgers will be hard to beat. Great atmosphere, live band was excellent! Highly recommend if you're in Branson read more

Great food and fast service. Their burgers and fries are great and there are lots of other choices on their menu I plan to try in the future. The restaurant is in the back of a craft mall and had live music when we were there Saturday evening at 5. It's a large place so if there are a lot of cars or a tour bus, don't let that stop you. But watch out as they close at 7 pm. read more

We've been to Pickin Porch Grill twice now. The first time was a total bust, as most of their items are fried and I wasn't looking for a fried meal. I also may have been in a bad mood on that visit, so we just won't talk about that trip. On my second visit, we shared the Asada Fries and I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich. TBH, the Asada Fries were SO AMAZING that I barely remember my sandwich lol. It was good though. I love how they trim all the fat off of the Asada, so you don't get the gross chewy bits that most places give you. And that sauce... yum! Next time, I'm going to try the tacos. My husband loved it too and plans to get the tacos next time as well. My only complaint is that, after you walk to the counter and order your food yourself, get your drinks filled yourself, and find a table yourself, the wait staff comes around to "check on you" and tries to fill your drinks in what really feels like an attempt to be tipped. It's super awkward. I'm not tipping for a drink refill when we did the rest ourselves. Personally, I'd rather just get my own refill and not be bothered. I'd also be happy to throw my own trash away, but I don't believe they allow you to do that. Anyway, great food here. We'll be back. read more

We have never tried this place, but have heard many great reviews. Decided to try it this visit. We are fans and will be back. Had a very good burger with cheese, back in. The burger was cooked perfectly. The fries are crispy and so good! The crispy chicken salad was better than the grilled. Restaurant is in the back of the craft mall. You enter the line, order, get your drinks, then find a seat. There is a sign at the register that states 10% gratuity will be added to all good orders. Not sure I understand this, as I like tip after the service. Food was good, would add this to our Branson routine. read more

We loved it. Big food portions. Only drawback....they automatically add a gratuity. Although that's not a deal breaker, when the ticket is just for two people I personally feel like it's the patrons choice on the tip amount. read more

Staff is very friendly and attentive! I had a double cheeseburger and onion rings. My wife had the Bluegrass Burger and fries. These were the best burgers we've had dinning out in quite a while. The restaurant was nice and cool with a pleasant atmosphere. If you are looking for the best burger in Branson, this is it in my opinion! read more

Classic American food (plus some tacos) in a super fun craft mall! There were probably 50-75 individual booths/shops selling all kinds of curious and creative items! I loved some of the woodworking, the jewelry and the artwork. For very reasonable prices too! Okay, the grill is in the rear of the store and it was really good! Everyone was super friendly, helpful and kind. The portions were pretty big - light eaters could definitely split any entree (other than the tacos). They have live music on select nights of the week (not Wednesdays!) read more
