I now understand why the moonshine tastings are free. Charging money for these would definitely be a violation of the good book. Every single tasting option was either cookie dough, fruit punch, or some vague dessert that tastes like it lost a fight with a candle shop. If you're looking for actual moonshine, then this is not the place. There was zero genuine, traditional moonshine. Just sugar, flavoring, and irritability. The selection was impressively limited. It's like they asked, "What if you made moonshine, but made it for people who don't like moonshine?" Mission accomplished. Now, let's talk about the bartender on Monday night 12/29. Asking a simple question about the products was not allowed. She couldn't answer basic questions, and whenever that happened, she'd pivot straight into mildly insulting the customer--not in a clever or playful way, but more in a confused hostility kind of way. Imagine being scolded by someone who doesn't know what they're scolding you about. I watched a guy come in late who didn't hear her talk. He presented his government ID, looked like it was military, she didn't recognize it, and she got angry it wasn't a state ID. (Do they hate the military there?) Not surprisingly he left. It was less "tasting room hospitality" and more "you're inconveniencing me by being here." Which leads to the final, lingering question of the visit: Why is this person in customer service? Follow-up question: Why is anyone here? If you like overly sweet fake moonshine and awkward tension, you'll have a great time. Everyone else should keep walking--preferably to a place that knows what moonshine is and doesn't seem mad at you for asking. read more

Branson Landing location offering free samples at the bar and buy 3 get 1 free bottles at the time of this review. I recommended walking up to the bar and tasting the entire menu. The only downside is they were not offering a menu or place to mark and rate your favorites, like at the winery. Plenty of other gifts and gadgets in the gift shop. Food located next door. Park in the parking garage and mosey down the Branson landing while you're in town. read more

Smith Creek Moonshine - Burgers Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Branson Landing is busy! We went in December and it was extremely crowded. My kids are super picky eaters but usually love chicken strips so we tried Smith Creek Moonshine. I'm glad we did! It was VERY good. We tried the peach and watermelon moonshine margs- SO good! They would have been even better on a hot day. The food was good and fresh and even though it was busy, we got it pretty quickly! read more

We usually love this place and it's the first place we come, and we usually visit several times when we come. It's off season, late October on a cool Monday afternoon. Upon entering the floor was terribly sticky. It was sticky all over the restaurant along with sticky tables. The drink that we come for is the salted caramel moonshine shake. After years of visiting and many shakes, this was such a disappointment. The drink was extra light on moonshine and extra heavy on whipped cream. The size was much smaller. We learned later that the bartender was new. The onion rings were hot and tasty! read more

Great customer service, tasty and relatively inexpensive food. Did some moonshine tastings while we were here. Great experience there as well. read more

Great moonshine flights; several interesting and tasty flavors! We bought the Sweet Tea, but I also enjoyed several others. Service was super-friendly and we learned a lot! Highly recommended!! read more

Moonshine is good. Ole Smokey has more alcohol per jar and is cheaper. Food is cheap and so so. If your on a budget and want a buzz, this is the place to go on the landing. You can take 4 jars of shine back to the hotel and have a shine party read more

Food only review We came here for dinner and though the place is nice and the workers were all very kind, the food was just meh. If you are gluten free this place is definitely not going to deliver much options though they did wonderfully work with me where I settled on a bun less Rueben (aka meat and cheese) and a side salad reminiscent of high school cafeteria salad. My daughter ordered a medium burger which definitely came well done plus. We were offered soda refills as we walked around for the day which was nice but we probably wouldn't stop by again for the food. read more

Great stop for fun the moonshine is good and the bartender was entertaining. It reminds me of Smokey Mountain moonshine I think it's the same company read more

We went for a moonshine tasting and wound up eating dinner here later as everything was packed. Tasting was amazing. 13 flavors. The bartender was full of personality. For dinner I had the chicken sandwich. It was juice and flavored well. Loved their fries. Like chip waffle fries. I also had an order of mozzarella sticks that had no mozzarella inside and they were quick to fix. Great spot for a quick bite while visiting the Landing. read more

What a great vibe!! Tons of merch to look through! We started with the tasting (free). Honest- we tried every single flavor. Def had some favs but gave them all a try. Personal favs- cake batter, coffee, chocolate silk and sweet tea. Bartender had a huge personably and there's a way to tip via venmo. We went to the other side of the bar to order food. Kids got chicken fingers baskets - came with chicken fingers, generous portion of fries and Texas toast. Husband ordered a Ruben and it was incredible! I'm surprised he shared- it was THAT good! We parked at bass pro and walked a little bit into the shopping area. Next time we go to the landing, we will def return. Also- moonshine is buy 3 get one! Had to stock up! ;) read more

Came here because we were visiting from CA and wanted to try some moonshine. So glad we stopped in! Free moonshine tastings and it was happy hour at the bar. After we did our tasting, complete with some mixing of a few, we walked over to the bar for a cocktail and onion rings. The happy hour recommendation we were given was to get the $4 Cherry Bomb that is made with their 100% moonshine. So glad we went with that recommendation as it was amazing... so amazing that we ordered another before happy hour was over. We then made our selections and walked out with 4 bottles of moonshine! Can't wait to mix our own drinks with these! read more

First time here. Searched up burger places near us and another place came up but there was no parking so this was next on the map. They got our order wrong. They switched the cheese on our burgers. The kids meal is a joke. They call it a mini burger and it's a slider for $8. The adult burgers were small for $12 and no sides or drinks included with that. Wouldn't return. read more

What a fabulous time. Cold February afternoon. Girls trip bought us. Cold, icy roads, and off season kept everyone away. We were able to walk in and given the royal treatment by the young man helping us. He was cheery and had a great sense of humor and the patience of a saint. I got to taste every single flavor they had. 14 if you count the bloody mary, which I did. The moonshine warmed me from my head to my toes. I was surprised on how smooth the coffee flavor was. I haven't been to one in the past that I can remember that had so many options. I am just overly pleased that we lucked out and had so much attention from the staff. I really appreciate them letting us try and enjoy the moonshine. if we had not just eaten we would have been trying out their food as well. The deal was get 3 get a 4th jar free. That averaged to about $25 a jar when you do it that way. They have a long shelf life so I am excited and set on moonshine. read more

Coffee Moonshine is all I have to say. I bought this as a gift for someone who now it turned on and just loves it. I was unable to test it but those in my party did and they also bought their own. I have to say I loved the bartender, his knowledge of the product was outstanding. read more

Taste great but too expensive. $30 a jar is too much. They have great flavor combinations. They have a great price on shot glasses. Have a good selection of sauces, jam, rubs, tshirts etc. the gentleman hosting the sampling was pretty entertaining. The restaurant has shutdown. Sad to see I'm after COVID what these places have had to endure. Maybe that's why the moonshine is so expensive to survive. Other than that I hope these guys make it and bring the price down a bit read more

Great associates. You can tell they like their job. They give out 13 free tastings of all of their shine. Only issue I had is I thought the price for a bottle was pretty steep being at $30. Great stuff otherwise. read more

We went there for lunch today. She had a Swiss mushroom hamburger which she said was delicious along with the onion rings. I had the chicken bacon Swiss sandwich, which was mediocre. Afterwards, we did the free moonshine sampling, which was a lot of fun and worth going there. Overall, I gave it a four out of five because the sandwich could've been a lot better. The sandwich was more fried breading than it was chicken. read more

Bring your ID and enjoy sample flights of their delicious moonshine! They have so many delicious flavors and make the sampling a fun event with people lined up and the bartender there for hype. If moonshine isn't you're thing they also have fun candles and other spirits such as Vodka. Their moonshine is very smooth and sweet. It would be easy to drink a whole Mason jar and not realize you're getting tanked in the process. Definitely a fun stop to make if you enjoy alcohol tasting or want a fun and unique gift for someone special. read more

What a fun place! Did the FREE moonshine tatting and it did not disappoint! The lady behind the counter had knowledge about the difrent flavors but also had great recommendations for mixing! Let's just say that smith creek has become a top choice for me in my moonshine options! 10/10 would recommend! read more

The Landing was deserted at 11 o'clock this morning and I saw the huge sign from a distance..."FREE MOONSHINE TASTINGS 13 FLAVORS!" I thought, "Surely it's too early for that. So, I walked in and exclaimed, "Are we really having drinks at 10:30 in the morning?" Then I look at my phone...11:10. LOL. A young woman calls from the bar, "It's never too early here." Enter Jules. She was wonderful from start to finish and had awesome jokes. We went through the top five; I was trying to be conservative. ‍ Everything was delicious and I bought #2 (coffee) and a t-shirt and a pour lid. Only later did I realize that they have a restaurant. Perhaps next trip. #firstofthedaysix, Jules! read more

Did the free tasting with Jess as the bartender. Moonshine was super yummy. She said it was equivalent to 4 shots and I DEFINITELY felt it. So keep that in mind. I also ordered the Gouda Mac and Cheese fried bites that were delicious. Sometimes I feel like fried Mac bites are dry, but these were not and had super good flavor! Highly recommend visiting. Just be prepared for a buzz. read more

Always love a moonshine distillery when visiting other places. This place didn't disappoint. Free tastings on about 10 shines and a vodka. We tried about 5. Loooovvvved the coffee shine but truly all of them were good and tasted just like what they said they were flavored to be. Gentlemen who served the tastings was very friendly and helpful. We even got a free shot glass for YELP check in (nice shot glass). We each tried a cocktail made with shine, mine was mixed with cranberry and was very good. Very neat place and very good shine. read more

We definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area and enjoy a little moonshine. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich and Mac and cheese bites. Both were delightful. The pulled sandwich was one the best I have ever had.

They have very smooth moonshine I got 2 jars to come back not sure it was worth 60 bucks for 2 but it was good

Amazing customer service. The tasting at their bar was very good. Lots of different combinations to change the flavor profile as well. They had me try their Butter Cake moonshine, which I never would have done without their suggestion. It was surprisingly very good. Turns out if you mix 50/50 Butter Cake and Root beer, it tastes just like a root beer float! Needless to say, we went home with a couple bottles of a moonshine I never would have even tried if it wasn't for their tasting. read more

This place is such a fun experience!! I was hesitant because I'm not big into moonshine, but I'm so glad we stopped!! If you're over 21, they have a sampling session multiple times a day (10+ flavors). They give you a little shot glass and walk thru and tell you about each flavor and let you try them all if you'd like. Strawberry shortcake, apple pie, and their blood Mary mix were WONDERFUL!! Stop by and give this place a shot, you won't regret it. Also, the presenters are extremely informative and have great sense of humors. read more
