The food was very good. We had the BLT and I had the hamburger. They were both very good. Service was friendly and professional. Very nice restaurant. read more

I got the Shrimp trio, all the shrimp was overcooked, vegetables were flavor less fried potatoes were OK. Our waiter did not seem like he wanted to be there. He wasn't that pleasant. And the ambience ok read more

We're pescatarians so we researched restaurants ahead of arriving to Branson. SS Dockside made top of the list based on the menu itself; however, the food did not live up to how great the food choices sounded. It was mid, at best! Our server was good, but the food was lukewarm and not seasoned as well as we prefer! The restaurant was extremely loud; however, it was not really packed with customers. They just sat us all in a smaller part of the restaurant so it felt like everyone was yelling. This was a bit annoying. read more

One of the best seafood meals we've had. I had the seafood ravioli and my husband had the Cajun pasta with shrimp. We will definitely be back. read more

I am not sure if the cook was having a bad day or they cater to a certain clientele. Went there for dinner they were having issues the day I went so they only took cash. Ordered fried fish, shrimp, chicken strips and French fries. I never had a meal so bland lacking flavor. The only thing that was a little flavorful was the French fries and they were the frozen not fresh. read more

Food was delicious! Lady of the Lake Salad will be ordered again as well as the butterfly shrimp. Chris was a great server! read more

Food was SUPER yummy! We had the Lobster tails Valentines special. Very good! Cooked perfect! A little robot brings the food out, funny. Also had the Alligator tail appetizer. Yummmm Very happy with our choices. Will be back! read more

It's your average fried food. It isn't bad but it isn't spectacular either. It's a fun atmosphere with a robot server, but at the same time an actual human server has to come get the food off the robot. And of course the prices have gone up since the latest yelp review. Drinks are expensive and taste of your average tend pours. In summary, it really is overpriced and my wife said there was a used feminine product on top of an overflowing trash can in the women's bathroom. read more

SS Dockside Cafe And Pub - Outside seating - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This place is not recommended for food. We visited during Spring break and we were terribly disappointed. We ordered several different things. Kids had the chicken Alfredo and it was watered down and gave them stomach aches. Husband had the seafood boil which was very disappointing. We were told this was the place to get the best seafood in Branson and boy was that wrong. We knew Branson would offer coastal seafood level food but this was way below the bar. Our server was really sweet and is the only reason we are giving two stars. The ambiance is more of a bar and than a restaurant. read more

We were heading to Branson to eat at Joe's Crab Shack on the landing. After some discussion, we agreed that the last few times we went to Joe's-- it was lacking. So, my partner had found SS Dockside Cafe & Pub. We decided to try it on a whim. Upon entering, we waited for the hostess to seat us. The restaurant was clean and a casual dining atmosphere. We immediately noticed robot serving machines in addition to human servers. We were seat quickly and drinks were served timely. We decided in the Coconut Shrimp meal ($21.95) and the Sweet Pepper Shrimp meal ($21.95). We did not order appetizers or drinks other than water. The coconut shrimp were very large, breaded, and had great flavor. We were both impressed at the size and taste. The sweet pepper shrimp was phenomenal. They were medium-sized shrimp wrapped tightly in bacon, grilled on skewers, and served with rice and vegetables with a sweet pepper sauce and a breadstick side. The flavor was great and the sauce was rich and sweet, not too spicy. The bacon wrapped around the shrimp were cooked very well and thoroughly, with a great texture add. It was fun watching the robot servers-- it appears maybe the chef places the food on the tray and it immediately goes to the table? We noticed the waiters scurrying to catch up with them! The service was great. The food was really good. And our total was under $50 for two very good seafood meals. We really enjoyed it and plan to return in the future. read more

This place was next to our hotel so we walked over on Saturday afternoon. They only had the bartender and one server for the entire restaurant. Our server was rushed and kept forgetting our food, side plates, etc. I barely ate my shrimp plate bc it was soaked in the sweet n sour sauce. The veggies looked like they came out of a can. My daughter got the fish n chips and she said it was just okay. Def not a place I would go back to if I was ever back in town. read more

Came for dinner and the food was excellent. Our server Ivan was covering the whole section and with the aid of the robot servers service was great. Will definitely be back for sure. read more

This was a decent dinner. We had wanted to get seafood at another establishment in town, but decided it was too nice with our little ones being loud and a bit rambunctious. This place had really good service. Our waiter was prompt and explained the menu very well, even adding in his own experience with the meals. I got a fish filet with some fries and rice. The meal was very average and did not blow me away by any means but the fish was definitely fresh. The atmosphere was nautical themed as promised and the place looked and smelled clean. One odd part is this places uses robots to bring out your meal. I found this to be horribly gimmicky, but the kids thought it was the greatest this ever so it goes into the plus column. Overall was a good experience, but did not wow me to any extent. read more

We were visiting Brandon from out of state and are use to paying higher than average prices for good food. This place is a joke! The waitress was the only good part about the meal because she was friendly and always had a smile. 4 adults and 1 children was $175 for a few "strips" of catfish and 6 shrimp on a single plate that was a full meal. I grew up in the Ozarks so I know catfish and I am sure if you put all three plates together it may have equaled one fillet. Oh, but it doesn't stop there, any table over 4 is 25% automatic tip. At least the waitress in this diner made $32. I would never recommend and never return! read more

The crab drip was excellent. The grouper was not. I can't recommend because everything looked used.

Excellent food, great Customer Service. One of my favorite restaurants in Branson. We tried the Burnt End Dinner, Shrimp Trio, and the Prime Rib. Everything tasted good. The portions are huge and we did not have enough room for dessert. Please give em' a try when you're in the area. read more

Great food, nifty automaton robot server with table side service from the kitchen. All servers sounded nice and enthusiastic.

I am usually easy to please. But the seafood ravioli was swimming in grease (it was seriously gross) and incredibly bland. I had to let the grease drip off before it was edible. The shrimp on the plate were seasoned but the rest of the dish was not??? The mens bathroom needed some cleaning. Our server Lauren (I think thats her name) was great. Which was the one bright spot read more

We came here one night while in Branson. It looked like a good change of pace and we though we'd give it a shot. It was NOT on the water, unlike some of the pictures shown, which I had wanted to eat with that view. There was a wait, despite plenty of seating. They have a decent selection of items. I ended up going with the Prime Rib. It was huge - I took it home for another meal! It had a pretty good taste, and I dipped some of the fries into the dipping sauce. My wife enjoyed her meal, the captain's plate if I remember right, as well. It was a lot of food as well, and she got a to-go plate as well. read more

Came on Saturday at 4pm. Only saw two staff working. They were friendly and were trying to move quickly. It was 4 table occupied when we arrived. No music. We decided to sit at the bar. TVs were present but not on. We had the Crab dip appetizer and the Admirals Seafood boil. No crab found in the dip but there was good amount of mayo, sour cream or cream cheese, seasoning and cheese. The boil was on par with the overall experience. Bathrooms had not been serviced in awhile. read more

We arrived and found the parking lot adequate for our huge truck. Upon entering the restaurant we found it nice and much larger than we anticipated. However, the music was odd for a pub. That said, we ordered our drinks from the extremely friendly, helpful waitstaff. They took about 10 minutes to arrive to our table. My spouse enjoyed his brew but I couldn't stand my old fashioned. Unfortunately, I had to send it back. My spouse ordered the Hook, Line, and Sinker deal. Oddly, it had two pieces of chicken. He liked that with the catfish and shrimp which was well prepared. The French Fries were certifiably delicious! I had the blackened salmon with roasted potatoes and veggies. Oh my gosh, it was very delicious. The flavor of the potatoes and tender crisp veggies, alongside the salmon ... o la la! A cool thing was how the robot brought the food to the table and our waitstaff served it with a smile. Overall it was a good experience but we probably wouldn't go back due to the inappropriate music and terrible old fashioned. read more

First time visiting Branson with our friends and they recommended place and it did not disappoint! For the appetizers, we had the crab dip and stuffed mushrooms. For the main dish, I had the fish and chips and my husband had the coconut chicken. Our friends had the Cajun shrimp pasta and prime rib. All of the food was delicious! All of us left the place very full as the portion sizes were generous. Courtney was our waitress and she was friendly and helpful. The four star is because of their restroom being a bit dirty. Other than that, our visit was great! If we are back in this area, we will definitely stop here again. read more

It had great food and I loved the environment. I had the tacos and the waiter was great the great were great too.

Ate there yesterday for dinner, first time to eat there. Been going to Branson forever and never tried them? We Will definitely be going back! Excellent food and service! read more

Everything was subpar. The rude staff/service, the food, how clean it was(n't). We went because my husband wanted crab. Just don't.

The drinks are outstanding and large is an understatement with excellent flavor. The shrimp was good just not excellent. The catfish was excellent lightly breaded with great flavor. Our server did and excellent job, zealous with his attentiveness. Lastly the ambiance is a fish restaurant, just as expected. Great place for family as process are reasonable and large portions. read more

Incredible service and food! I highly recommend this place with no reservation whatsoever!

It's been 3 years since I last ate here. We didn't not have anyone trying to take our picture or sell us a balloon. Which was nice! The food was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is where we sat was ok. There was a table near us where you can see staff works and it was messy. My only complaint was the server. He was very nice and accommodating however, his body odor was so strong it cause me to want to skip my meal. read more

Wanted to try out this restaurant as I hadn't been here before and rumor has it that it's from the same owners as Shorty Small's which I use to love. My friend and I dined here in the early afternoon so the dining room was not too busy. However the hostess was working the hostess stand AND serving all the customers. She stayed on top of everything and was friendly and helpful. We ordered a dish to share as they are large dishes. Everything was hot and tasty! I also enjoyed their sweet tea :) One thing I noticed that I didn't care for is that a photographer comes around and asks if you want your picture taken and then you can buy picture packages. I understand this is a tourist town, but I prefer to eat without the interruption. Note that he did not stop at our table, but did go to every table around us (which was fine with me). read more

I really liked this place and this was the only restaurant near my hotel that did not suck. Sorry but had to say it. The food was excellent and fast so no long wait. Kid friendly and not too loud. I ordered the fish and chips which was really good. read more

Service was good. Food was fine. Nothing to write home about but still fine. Drinks were not my favorite

Kind of cool that a robot delivers food. Kind of odd that a photographer tries to sell you your portrait. Weird vibe there. Ribs were delicious and fell off the bone but were barely warm. Same with beans. Stuffed mushrooms were hot but rather bland. Salad was perfect. Nicely presented and good variety of ingredients. read more

Food, service and atmosphere was good. Reasonably priced. Gator bites and the Lady of the Lake Salad was delicious.

This Place is wonderful. The chicken alfredo was absolutely busting and a robot brought it to me which iced my cake! No Coke products is the only con. The service was great and the vibe of the place made me feel like i was floating. I'd eat here again! read more
