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

Extremely good and fresh! I had the The Skipper and I highly recommend it, the grilled veggies amazing, the fish and shrimp were tender and juicy, and the sauce was very light but flavorful! We met the owner and he was very very welcoming and friendly and our server we had did an excellent job even with my children! read more

The food was ok and the service was ok. It had a very long wait to be seated and the restaurant seemed dirty. The food was just ok and the drinks were expensive and just not good! I would have to say that this is not a place I would recommend. People were leaving and yelling at the host. It just want a good experience all the way around... read more

So I drove up to Branson from Little Rock for an event and decided to stop here for lunch before it started. I ordered a cocktail and the lobster rolls. The drink was "eh".. just something to sip on. But the lobster rolls?! The service? The wait time? All of that, amazing! I'd definitely come back. read more

Terrible. Hostess was rude, server seemed like she hated her job, lighting is weird, restaurant is dirty, floors were grimy and the linen napkins were dirty and smelly. The food was ok, but we were ready to run! Would NOT recommend read more

The $20 small "Water-Rita" that came out 25 minutes late. So watered down! Illness after consumption of dinner. Waiter was nice but had to remind him several times to check on my drink. read more

we went in there and stayed at the hostess desk for 20 minutes and none of the waitresses would make eye contact. We just finally left would not recommend it tons of people waiting in line. 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

Great staff and good food. The place was clean and the food came quickly. They want 85 characters to post this review and I just ain't got that much to say read more

Food was hot and delicious. We had the Cajun pasta, coconut shrimp and the salt and pepper shrimp! All were excellent choices. The price was very reasonable and the portions were large. Alissa was our server and she was great! read more

Had seen this on our Table Rock Lake group they have three locations on the water and in town. We decided while we were in tow to stop by. It was early afternoon so we were seated immediately. We chose to sit in the bar. Our waiter Justin was awesome. He was funny talkative gave us lots of information on the place answered all our questions, told us about the food and the Famous Sweet Pepper Shrimp. He also suggested his great Bloody Mary he makes so I said sure. It was good.! I ordered the trio shrimp substituted the fried shrimp for blackened added a skewer of the Sweet pepper shrimp My husband ordered the burnt ends (bbq) Justin explained the process of the meat. Fast forward to the food. It had big portions fries were great as well. My food was extremely good Catfish was good real catfish the Sweet Pepper shrimp was as told award winning. My husbands burnt ends I'm not really a person who like this but I really liked it. It almost melted in your mouth it was that tender and that good. We took home left overs and even reheated it was very good. Oh and the owners son was there (helping cause they can't get enough help cause no one wants to work anymore) he was a very nice down to earth hometown young man. Enjoyed talking to him. Told him he needed a place at Indian Point. We talked briefly and He thanked us for coming in. My suggestion is don't listen to any negative post on this place it was great there was another couple in there who apparently are regulars so it can't be bad. Help will always be an issue just realize that at any business people can stay home and make more money these days and no one wants to work. So the ones working are working tons of OT and doing the best they can cut them and the business some slack. Bottom line this place is a two thumbs up. Justin is a great waiter ask for him. read more

We were visiting Branson from OKC with our family and were looking for take out options. This was a great choice. We had a big salad, shrimp boil, salmon and kids burger- and the gator bites. Everything was delicious. Our order was on time, complete, perfect. Restaurant was easy to get in and out of, staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend read more

The service was fantastic , the food was pretty good until i researched why the crab legs had a grey tint. Not a good thing. Id try it again but would demand better. read more

So never being deterred by inane comments like there is no dock at the SS Dockside cafe (inland) and reading about the new wait staff like Amber and the long wait times AND understaffed help we rolled the dice and tried an early dinner here yesterday! There was no wait and we were seated promptly. They were certainly understaffed with wait staff! Being in the business you can't overload limited waitstaff and limited prep and back end people. People are humans not robots! We laughed when a smiling nice young lady came up to our table! Greeted us and I smiled and said you must be Amber and how is your ninth day at the dockside? She looked puzzled!? Asked us how did you know my name (no name tag!) we told her and she laughed! Learning a new computerized system called toast is hard enough but when you are new it's even harder when demanding customers don't get it! She was efficient and friendly! As for the food, we ordered the sweet pepper shrimp (8 extra large and fresh) that came with wild rice and mixed vegetables ( we substituted mashed potatoes (love the carbs) easily))! Also ordered the fried butterfly shrimp! Seven I think but I can't count anymore with the new math! Lightly breaded! Came with a ton of hot french fries , side of good coleslaw! Both came out quickly and hot! We enjoyed both dishes but especially the sweet pepper shrimp! The only blip on the day was the wild rice came out cold! Our sweet Amber quickly replaced it with a hot side order of same! Thus, the four stars! Amber must have learned a whole lot in three days! We would have hired her on the spot! For those of you out there especially the Sunday crowd, it's important for you to know that these servers are paid $2.17 an hour and depend on tips to try and make a living while the dullards and lemmings of the world expect to be waited on hand and foot and then give a worthless fiat dollar or two on a $24 dollar tab! A bigger chuckle is that only 7% of the less than ten percent goes to the server herself! Rest goes to bussers and bartenders! Try this place! Seemed like they also had great desserts but we were too full to try one! read more

The wait was a bit much..but food almost made up for that. I enjoyed the 1lb Shrimp boil. Was delicious!!

Food was very good! They took what I usually get off their menu, which is the chicken, cheese, and rice. Because I'm not a huge fan of seafood. But our waiter Jason made that dish happen for me. Thankyou for the experience and I think everyone should go check it out! read more

I should start by saying that I'm appreciative that this restaurant is open later than most in Branson. It's hard to find a place for dinner after 8 PM anywhere near the strip. I had the cheesy chicken rice. It came with seasoned grilled chicken, wild rice, and vegetables, all covered in spicy queso. The queso wasn't super spicy or anything. It was all pretty good. The service was really nice. Jeremy was a great server. Our food was delivered via a robot, holding a tray, so that was a fun and unexpected treat. I'm sure we will go here again in the future. My son and husband loved their chicken strips. They were hand cut and hand breaded, and they looked delicious. Even if you don't like seafood, give this place a try. They have quite a few options for non-seafood items! The restroom is clean and well stocked. The restaurant is large enough to accommodate both small and larger parties. There's also a small arcade for the kiddos in the back near the restrooms. read more

The fried fish and onion rings were amazing!!! The fish was cooked perfectly! The coleslaw was good the hush puppies were moist and had a great flavor! The atmosphere was fun and family friendly! The waitress boy was so funny! We will definitely be back! If you are in Branson don't miss out on this place!! read more

I ordered a seafood broil thinking it was enough to feed a family of 4 due to the pics and the pricing. But instead, paid $71 and was told it was just a broil to feed 1 person! Too expensive, and not worth it. read more

Great food with great service. Prices were average for the area. Very friendly staff and clean and organized.

waitress was great, food was not. i got the grouper platter, it was soft mush, either wasn't stored, thawed, or prepared correctly. please be more careful with seafood. would have been great otherwise. read more

We're locals, so we've been wanting to dine here for awhile. We were greated as soon as we walked in the door & shown to our table. Very clean & laid out nicely with cool decor. Our drinks & appetizer (crab stuffed mushrooms) came out quickly & not long after that our Crab legs & Shrimp trio came out (a little robot brought it from the kitchen). Victoria was our server & she was awesome. Our drinks were HUGE, so we never needed refills, but she checked on us frequently & made sure we had everything we needed. What a great experience. Everything was on point & we'll definitely be back. We highly recommend SS Dockside to everyone. Whom ever says Branson doesn't have good seafood has obviously never eaten here. read more

We went here because the guy at the hotel suggested it. My food was okay. It was mostly fried and I enjoyed it. My wife ate healthier and she hated hers. Her baked fish was dry, the vegetables were too steamed and soggy she hated it. The service was okay. The ambience was dark. The most negative part was our bill for two meals and ice tea was $65 before a tip. Branson has great places to eat, this is not one of them. If I were you I'd avoid this overpriced place. read more

SS Dockside was excellent, and my husband and I will be back when we visit Branson again! I had the Skipper, a grouper dinner, and it was so very tasty and superb in comparison to fish meals that I've ate throughout traveling to different states and coasts! My husband loved and enjoyed the seafood boil! He couldn't eat it all! The restaurant had a nice blue light, calm, and relaxing ambience. The employees, manager, and robot that delivered our food was top-notch and just super friendly and welcoming! The manager even treated us with a complimentary chilled shrimp cocktail! The shrimp were huge, and I can't remember a better shrimp cocktail! You are missing out if you don't patronize SS Dockside! read more

Have you ever seen a robot server?!? Come on out and live your Jetson's fantasies, it's not Rosie but it is awesome! Great food and great service, the fish and chips were great! Definitely 5 's!!! read more

We had Ivan and he did a fantastic job. He refilled our drinks when we needed and overall was great!!

Horrible service. Not great food. Certainly severely overpriced. Anywhere else in Branson would be better. We just wanted a nice, quiet meal after a show. The waiter was rude, the food was not great and made us ill. Our server, Jeremy, immediately got off on the wrong foot when he approached our young son for his order without acknowledging the rest of our group. When my wife informed him she would handle our son's order, Jeremy ignored her. Our appetizers came out at different times. The nachos had not been heated at all. The ground beef in the nachos was rancid. Jeremy finally brought out plates for the appetizers a few minutes before the main dishes arrived. When my wife requested they remove the nachos from our bill, Jeremy argued with her and said we should have told him sooner. read more

The staff are very nice but the food is not good. The crab dip was a sour cream mess. I've never seen catfish so skinny! I'm pretty sure most of the food is frozen. Even my drink wasn't good. After tip the bill was over $200 for 5 people. I wish I'd gone somewhere else. The restaurant wasn't the cleanest and needs upkeep. read more

The only good thing I can say is the waiter was very nice. We got there at 6 PM on a Thursday in the summer. The restaurant was half empty. The silverware was dirty. I ordered a Sprite and it had a lemon seed in it. We ordered fried pickles, and they were cold when they came out. We ordered crab dip and it had no crab in it. It tasted like cheese and mayonnaise. Even the tortilla chips tasted stale and oily. Our silverware was dirty. We ordered crab legs, but they were so watery and falling apart. It was clear they had been frozen for a while. And the dipping butter was in no way clarified butter. The floors were sticky. We waited almost an hour for our food, and when we threatened to leave, it magically appeared. I almost warned the people walking into the restaurant from the parking lot to leave. Do not eat here. Feels like a tourist trap from 30 year ago on its last legs. Find another place to eat! read more

SS Dockside Cafe And Pub - Great people , great food . Been there many times. Never disappoints - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

We came to SS Dockside for a late night meal in Branson and they did NOT disappoint! Staff was friendly, decor/atmosphere was cool... they followed the seafood theme but didn't go too hard into kitschy. Our server Victoria was super sweet and easy to talk to. This was the first time I'd ever been served by a robot server too! (Our human server still took the orders and did most of the work but the robot delivers the meals to the table.) Food came out really fast, almost too fast but it was all really good! ALSO... There was a cute older fella walking around taking photos of each group in their booth to give them a little Branson memory to take home... he was so sweet and when he brought back the finished product he'd even put a little seaside background on it, you can tell he really put a lot of effort into it! Overall great experience! read more

My husband and I moved to the Branson area last year and we are finding that SS Dockside is one of our favorite places to dine. Not only is the food amazing but the service is so friendly and top notch! We really liked Jeremy's winning personality, great server!! read more

Our first visit to Dockside and we were pleasantly surprised. We were seated right away on Friday evening around 4:30 PM and ordered the coconut shrimp with potato salad and cole slaw. Another ordered the Atlantic Salmon with green beans and rice. Our meals came out in less than 10 minutes and were hot and tasted very good. There was a large tour group that came in after us, so I was glad we got there when we did. But, it looked like there were several servers taking care of them. Ivan our server did a great job taking care of our table. We'll be back. read more

This is NOT on the water - pictures and name are misleading. Menu and food are good, but it is NOT on the water. Whomever uploaded those pics... You need to learn how to use Yelp read more

So we were seduced by simple advertising on the outside of the restaurant building that said burgers and nachos. I thought this might be a nice alternative from Chilies with a seafood slant. My kid had the kids chicken strips and fries. Its hard to screw that up so all was good. My wife had the salmon and she said hers was good. But now....downhill from 4 to 2 stars. First of all, the nachos were just....boring. I could order the same at Applebee's or maybe even Dennys. Boring canned salsa. Boring thin white chips. Ground beef. And maybe its just me, but I like my cheese yellow not white.. maybe quality Bandon Cheddar Cheese. Guacamole anyone? Not here. Do you think I'm too harsh? Well, there is more. Soon after the waiter took our order, some guy came to our table and asked if he could take our picture. Really? This is just like I'm on a cruise ship. Crass commercialism in Branson. We said "ok" just to be nice, but said "no" when he brought the framed picture to our table and wanted $30 for it. But thats not all. Next comes the balloon guy with different tiered pricing to make balloon animals for the kid. Who do these people think they are? I guess it must be working or they wouldn't be doing this stuff, which sort of indicates I'm really in the wrong town...or at least I need to get off the Branson strip. And finally, to top everything off....guilt tipping. This is where the waiter brings his portable visa machine like a Square, to our table and stands there while I decide the tip amount. (He's not going to leave, and stands at our table until I figure the tip amount) Let's see...20%? 30%? I think he came by twice to ask us if everything is ok. Once I key in a modified tip, I sign it and press the receipt button. Then he takes the visa machine from me and goes somewhere else to fetch an actual paper receipt. I will not go to any restaurant who uses guilt tipping. To sum it up...there was nothing special here. There were just 2 other customers here and it was a Friday at 2pm. read more
