Cody made our experience just wonderful. And he is not kidding about the burnt ends! Not all sauced up, just perfect juicy bites you can choose to dip in a great BBQ sauce. Very pleasant atmosphere, can easier accommodate big parties. Full bar. Well done! read more

Really cool restaurant. Lives up to the theme. The service blew me away. Make sure you get Victoria as your waitress super nice person. Food was just like Victoria. read more

Couldn't ask for more! Variety, ambiance, taste, quantity, flavor...all wonderful. Don't hesitate. The Christian music, friendly staff, including Anne are all so wonderful. My spirits are uplifted and my palate thrilled. So glad we chose to come here. read more

We went to SS Dockside for dinner and I got the Chicken Bacon Avocado sandwich and my wife got the Black and Blue burger. Both were delicious. The chicken was juicy and grilled with a light seasoning. My wife's burger was cooked well done as she likes and was juicy also. The fries are crispy on the outside and also have light seasoning. The service was good. The server was new and very friendly. We went back the next night and I tried the Fish and Chips and my wife had the Black and Ue burger. Both were delicious. There were two good sized pieces of cod with a delicious tartar sauce. We will be back next time we're in Branson. read more

Server was good, but food was wildly mediocre. Best thing about the place were automated food runners.

Great food and great service!! We had coconut shrimp and fish and chips. Definitely will be back!

Food was very greasy; what do you expect from fried food. Otherwise it was good and hit the spot.

The ketchup was good. Small portions. Finished up my meal with Sonics on the way home.

Big place for large groups. Nice staff, good food. They do serve alcohol. All was good.

We got seated and waited at least 15 minutes for someone to come to our table. No problem bc we know restaurants are hurting right now. We were patient and she asked if we were ready to order when we put in our drink order. We were ready anyway and wanted to save her as many trips as possible. We ordered 2 dr peppers, a water, gator bites for an appetizer, then a lobster roll with Cole slaw, blackened salmon with a side salad and mixed veggies, then a burger with fries. We waited and waited and then got the appetizer. A food runner dropped it by without noticing we never got our drinks, which isn't his problem.. he's not the server. Then our meals come out and we still don't have drinks. I politely ask him and he gets them for us. Our server never came to check on us once until the end. The mixed veggies were terrible, the burger was terrible, lobster roll was really good, side salad was good, we got fries instead of the Cole slaw ordered. No big deal on that. At the end, when we went to pay it gave an option for tips for 0%, 20%, 25%, 30%. We still gave 20 bc we know restaurants are short staffed. She saw he clicked 20% and acted annoyed even though she literally didn't pay attention to our table at all. It wasn't busy at all either. After the awful food and service, we won't be back. I would give this place 0 stars if I could and I was so excited to try it. read more

Our server, Jair, provided outstanding service! He was friendly & excellent at communicating! The food was delicious - high quality ingredients cooked to perfection! The restaurant was clean & nicely designed. The bathrooms were in excellent condition too! The sandwiches, catfish, and burgers were yummy and the fries are SOOO GOOD! I highly recommend going in for a meal! read more

Food was awful, pretty sure it was frozen then thrown on a plate. Pepsi products was a plus, but that's about it.

The drinks were overpriced and the stuffed crab mushrooms were not the greatest. We were hoping to sit on patio, but it was closed.

Service was great but food wasn't very good. Everything was fried or drowned in butter.

Food and service were great Atmosphere was clean and cheerful Great value for price! read more

Food and service was wonderful! My kids loved the robot that brought the food out. The fried alligator was great!

Second visit and had the lobster tail special. It was beautiful and delicious. Before I had the grouper which was also excellent! My sister in law had shrimp pasta which she had on a prior visit and was so good she got it again! Service was attentive and friendly and dining room is very comfortable and cozy. They also have a nice deck for dining in the summer and a bar on the other side of the restaurant. read more

Excellent food. The shrimp was delicious, and the cheesecake was huge and had a wonderful texture. Our server, "J", was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient! read more

Jason C was perfect. He was slammed and still took time out to answer our questions regarding local attractions. Also, try the cheese curds and caramel. You won't regret it! read more

Please don't go here. The food is not good. Don't get the shrimp or any of the pasta it doesn't taste good. There is a creepy man who takes your picture without asking, and then frames it and brings it to your table. you can buy it for $20, but it made my entire family feel uncomfortable. Also don't even try asking for any accommodations to the menu. Please don't go here read more

Justin T was one of the best servers I've had in quite a long time, he made us feel very welcome and explained every question we had. He recommended the shrimp trio and the crab legs and they were amazing. He did some magic tricks for our kids to keep them patient and they loved it! read more

This location is fairly new and is in the old Shorty Smalls. We arrived on Saturday night and had about a 15 minute wait. We were seated and the service was great. The food was ok. We had chicken fried steak and the hook, line, and sinker. The catfish was good, but the shrimp lacked seasoning. The key lime pie was a nice surprise! I would probably give it another shot when we get back to Branson. read more

Wasn't our first Choice other restaurants had long wait and the kids were hungry. As we walked up to the door wasn't feeling good about the place, bunch of extension chords laying around the sidewalk and beer cans in the bushes. Sat down the booth seat was ratty and torn a beer neon sign behind us not hanging or working in the corner. The server was nice and prompt. Then a guy comes over and ask us to scoot together for a picture. Hesitant we do but have no intention of buying. When I go out with my family we want to be together and not bothered by tourist trap pics, I mean who wants a pic in a booth, In this day and age everyone has a camera in there pocket. I would suggest he put the camera do and pick up a mop because the floors were sticky and dirty. Food was ok better than I expected but wouldn't go back or recommend. read more

This place was gross inside and out! The floors were filthy, the handicap access was through the back of the restaurant and the food was horrible. We were also solicited while we were in there by some guy to get our picture taken! Seriously! I would not want capture that moment of total disgust on our faces. It was our last night in Branson, and we left with total disgust. If you want below average food and above average pricing, and you enjoy dining in a filthy restaurant, this place is for you! read more

Came in to try something new, and we were impressed. Great food, and great service from Jason. read more

SS Dockside Cafe And Pub - Mango pineapple shrimp - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

See all

This is a new diamond in the rough for restaurants on the strip. It's locally owned. The menu is diverse with great food choices. It says they are a cafe and pub. I say an awesome restaurant. I've had the shrimp two different ways. A burrito, named the big mouth, and different appetizers. They are not new to the business as they have two locations on Table Rock Lake open during the season. Being the off season if you are a local please support them. I'll be back for sure. read more

seafood boils were cold, after asking for a boil that wasn't cold we received another boil that was also cold. manager was rude, even after having him feel that the crab and corn was cold. the crawfish was nasty, as well as the boiled eggs. will not be back, and absolutely do not recommen. read more

My sweetheart and I came to Branson to celebrate her birthday. We chose to eat dinner at SS Dockside Cafe. We both had the catfish (real Mississippi Catfish). WOW, it was amazing. But best of all was the service that we got from our waitress (Ann). She was very friendly and offered the best service possible. We do recommend this place for anyone visiting Branson. read more

We popped into here for a supper on a Thursday night and was seated immediately which usually worries me but the proof is in the pudding. Our server greeted us with a smile and got our drinks ordered and brought to us quickly. I got the hook line and sinker and was happy with my choice. The catfish was in stick form as was the chicken. But, both were cooked very well and seasoned to perfection, my draw back was this. Being from the south everyone who cooks really good fish uses only one type of batter. For those that don't know it's Cornmeal, not cornmeal and flower but straight out the bag cornmeal. I'm not gonna spend 30 minutes debating or talking about this because I know what I know. The chicken was feasibly battered and not Tyson in a bag. The shrimp were plump and juicy with no rubbery action or taste. Why four stars? The food was really good but if I can do it better then I take off a star. I refer you to the catfish debacle. My wife had the nachos and they were good and plenty of them. We will be back read more

The service was good, they actually have a robot bring your food to the table. But the food itself was not great.

Husband loved his meal (he had fried shrimp, fries and slaw) I didn't feel the same about mine. I had blackened salmon that was a bit over cooked (dry) and the double vegetables were disappointing with a lot of broccoli stems (right out of a frozen bag-see pic) and the toast not garlicky at all. So if you go here I could only recommend the fried fish. read more

Food was either bland or way over salted. 9/10 would not recommend to anyone visiting!

Everything was extremely good as the server said it was. The Key Lime pie was one of the best we've had!

First of all, they had the incorrect address posted online and when we arrived, the location had a sign that said they moved to a new address. We mapped the new address and it was still wrong so we called the location and the hostess didn't know the address. We finally found it and I have never been more upset to spend money at a restaurant. Everything was overpriced, soggy, not warm and nothing special. My lobster roll I paid $18 for was the worst lobster roll I have ever eaten in my entire life. Save ur money don't eat here. read more

Went here the other night. Food was good, service was good and the breading on the food was light and crispy. No dock for dockside cafe - figured with it being on 76 and the wait was long for a lot of people for not amazing food. I doubt that i would go back. read more

Waitress was new, but nice and helpful. Ordered medium steak and potato salad. Steak was over cooked and the potato salad appeared to have been sitting in the fridge for some time. Not the signature side expectation as presented. But all that was nothing till the manager came out. He took care of the ticket, but repeated that we can "just leave". After I told him that was quite rude, he backtracked saying "I'm just saying your bills covered and you can go". I looked past the lack of customers and the messed up seat they seated us in, but I can't look past the rudeness. By the way, Amber was our waitress. read more

Cory was amazing and so was the food. Highly recommend this place for a special lunch or dinner out in Branson. read more

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

waitress was great. menu said a pile of butterfly shrimp. a pile to them is 5 and I was thinking closer to a dozen. the coleslaw came in a small cup like you'd see ketchup in at other places. the grouper was extremely fishy and the veggies were rubbery and would bet came out of a bag. the table was dirty and greasy. we had to have the waitress wipe it off. not sure if people are just giving out 4.5 stars in Missouri, but I would bet no locals are eating here. cafeteria food quality at best. worst $53 I've spent on 2 entrees in a long time. the people sitting next to us were eating over cooked crab. not sure how this place stays open?! must be tourists being completely misguided by Yelp reviews like we were that are simply inaccurate. read more

Well service was nice but a little slow and they weren't that busy. The shrimp trio with the loaded baked potatoes was good. The catfish tasted dirty, maybe just the kind it was. I personally didn't like it. The fries and slaw are just ok. Sweet tea wasn't sweet at all. The place looks a little run down and needs a good cleaning. Wouldn't really wanna see the kitchen. Probably won't return. If you let the guy that comes around to take pictures, take yours, be prepared to be slightly harassed about purchasing it. :( read more

This restaurant is terrible! Our food was cold, and the manger was very mean! She was rolling her eyes at us and talking in a rude manor. PLEASE DONT COME HERE!! She was talking SO rude to my 87 year old grandparents! The was the WORST experiences of our trip to Branson! read more
