Biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon
Aaron R.

This place is great. Not sure why the parking lot isn't full of cars. The service was exceptional from the time we walked in until we left. The food was very well seasoned and the orders were prepared to perfection. It's a great atmosphere with great music. Will definitely plan to get back here again.

Yuengling traditional in a sassy aluminum bottle!

My brother that owns property down in Branson loves to come here since it it not like some of the other noisy places to eat and drink. I finally was able to visit with him and i agree. Its really spacious inside and also has a separate game room. The seating is more like cafeteria style but there is nothing wrong with that. The owner amokes up their own meats and sauces if i remebrr right and they were both very good. We sampled some wings and then burnt ends. One great thing is they have their own parking lot and its easy to get in and out of! Which is a big deal in Branson since alot of places are so cramped you cant even sneeze. The night we stopped in they were test running an audience participation murder mystery which was pretty cool and laid back fun!

Great meal! Well for sure be back. Enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Also great front-of-house reception

Salad and mesquite wings
Katie Z.

Amazing food! I had one trip salad, which how can you screw up your own salad and 6 mesquite wings. Definitely the way to go, that flavor is amazing. My husband had a smash burger and wow! It was impressive. He almost made it through the whole thing! Service was spectacular, and food came out faster then expected! Would recommend to anyone!

Don't let the dirt parking lot and plain exterior fool you. Inside you will find a clean, spacious restaurant. We went for breakfast, and it was not crowded. Our waitress was very friendly and provided us with great service. The food was clearly homemade and delicious. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. They had a decent amount of BBQ items on the menu and we could smell the meats being smoked. It smelled heavenly. We all commented we have to return for lunch or dinner. And we will return on our next trip to Branson. Give this place a shot. You will be glad you did.

Corn beef hash
Wanda T.

Horrible!! We couldn't believe this place has 4 stars. Hate to post this. The first moment we came in, we had to clean a table to find a place to seat and eat. Not sure why we didn't take the hint. Probably because it was 11am and we were ready to eat some breakfast. Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for the food. Staff looked overwhelmed. The food was not what we expected. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with hash browns. It had no flavor. The eggs were overcooked and barely had an imitation of a hollandaise sauce. My boyfriend had the corn beef hash and he said it was just ok. I grabbed a cup of coffee to pour me some and the cup had a coffee stain like it didn't wash well. People kept coming in and no staff would clean any of the open tables for them. Terrible service. This restaurant is spacious with lots of potential.

Prime rib with okra and broccoli..
Michelle G.

We are here from South Carolina and on Mother's Day. My husband asked what I'd like to eat for Mother's Day. I told him to surprise me...He chose this place and I was not disappointed.. The atmosphere was fun & to our likin..Our server-Jasmine (I think new) was nice, accommodatin and attentive to our needs.. We started with the deep fried deviled eggs--I've never had them and they were really good.. He had the Taneycomo and enjoyed it but there was too much seasonin' on the top of the ribs, they really don't need the seasonin' on top at all, he said (& that's why we didn't give a 5 star)...I had the prime rib and it was so, so good.. They also have a salad bar that we enjoyed. We will be recommendin' it to anyone who's goin' the area..

A fly shatter under bar
Tim T.

Well we were extremely disappointed by this restaurant. We arrive around lunchtime read a few yelp reviews s we thought we would give it a try. We walked in and there was just one other table dining in and a baby sitting in a car seat on another table. The waitress sat us at a table took our drink order when she walked away the air conditioning came on and it was freezing at the table we asked questions about the menu. I wanted to order the pulled pork brisket and brunt ends she told us they were out f brisket and pulled pork that the smoker caught fire and they just got a new on in. I knew rite away it was bull. So I was able to order jay a burnt ends sandwich and my wife just had a salad with chicken. Not what we wanted out of a BBQ joint, we also moved to the bar because the air conditioning was so cold. The food came I ended up just eating the meat they had like 6 different sauces 2 of them were ok. I guess nothing was really going to taste good after you ready about something put your mind to it and then you can't have it. The place has history it started in a food truck then they wer in a small building now they are in a much bigger building. I wonder if they are getting too big for them selves? One worker didn't wear a mask while cooking the waitress had hers on and off another cook had his on all the time. Don't know if we would go back. There's a much better place in Branson they have lots of awards to prove how good they are look it up

He answered my questions about the food, albeit with a soft voice for such a loud/busy location. He just lacked any welcoming spirit, and did not give any effort to sell the food. It's our first time at the location and I clearly was having trouble navigating their huge menu, but it was more of what do you want, yes/no. Food: Fried catfish 5/5: crispy, light, well seasoned. Definitely the highlight of the food we ordered Brisket 2.5/5: we ordered a pound, portion was good size, but overall it was pretty dry. With enough bbq sauce it was passable. Ribs 1/5: weakest point of the food. Dry, almost tasteless, chewy. Not sure if we just caught them at the end of the day because we went for dinner but the meats seemed old/dry. The ribs and brisket arrived maybe 5 minutes or less after we ordered it, which begs the question if it's freshness and quality which showed in the product taste. The catfish on the other hand took 10-15 minutes and came out hot and was clearly freshly fried , and again this translated to its quality. Service: the servers were fine. Polite, welcoming, helpful. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Earlier in the trip we visited gettin basted and it's clear why they won awards for their bbq. On top of that, the experience was much more welcoming and warm.

TEXAN here & frequent visitor to TX Top 50 BBQ (TX Monthly updates every 4 yrs), which as you know…read moreis the king of the cuisine. I'm certain I've the experience to know what good BBQ is & isn't. And, boy howdy, this IS! Without a doubt, if Old 76 were in TX, they'd easily be on that coveted list of world renowned BBQ joints. That's truthfully rare to find outside the state. Situated exactly between Branson & West Branson, is this gem that's clean cut & the BBQ, sides too, is superbly executed. I'm not saying stuff to sound good. This is L E G I T, the real deal. They're pushing TRUE barbecue as it ought to be, not like some wannabe. I dare you to try any other place & find the same superb quality for ALL aspects. Get there before opening because the line gets long fast & the ordering takes time. There's limited seating that fills up quickly. I only wish it were larger in space & had the capacity for more help in front than 1 person. But for modestly using the limited space adjacent to a gas station, it's tastefully & professionally decorated & comfortable, just right for what it is, as opposed to the tacky, out-dated & sparse, or overdone interior that one tends to see elsewhere. Waiting for BBQ is honestly an experience & you must be prepared to wait your turn. That's how it is in TX for all the joints, folks ordering FCFS after waiting patiently in line for hours until sell-out. It's worth waiting on & building camaraderie with those about you. After all, you're about to celebrate gastronomically, I promise! Best sides: ALL of them but especially the corn casserole. You'd think it's vegetable bread pudding, it's so scrumptious!! Beans are no less than fantastic with bits of brisket - so warm & comforting. Potato salad is just a massive winner of full-mouthed goodness that's not typically mayo-ed down. Don't pass up the mighty fine coleslaw for topping your pulled-pork, pickles & bread for a highlight finish. Speaking of pickles, add more as a great acidic accompaniment. The sauce here is on the sweet side. It's really not needed AT ALL except to occasionally boost the flavor kick if taking leftovers for later. The meat's simple pepper & salt crust is all you need. & speaking of the Meats: Truly the star of the show as they should be. See the platter photo for yourself. Pick of choice or prime brisket. Prime for us. We could've appreciated a little bit thicker of a smoke ring but it was there despite the fast cook it probably endured. It needed to be a little less done on the fatty side but it was awfully tender anyway. Absolutely a winner brisket done right, so I can sweat the small stuff. All said, the perfect seasoning & bark set the tone & to me for brisket, that is most important. 99% perfect. Chicken: dark meat extra peppery & almost overdone but the white meat was super tender & nice to eat. It doesn't take away from the whole goodness of the platter though. Bologna: these ain't no lame Oscar Meyer store bought flappers. Talk about thickly cut, juicy heaven! Wow is all I can say - absolutely YUMMY. Pulled Pork: P I G G Y P E R F E C T. Don't even need sauce! Use the pillowy potato bread to die & go to taste bud heaven with rivers of salivation. This is so succulent, you might keep it all for yourself in a group setting. Ribs: BEST OF SHOW. These are guaranteed to be the best ribs in MO. Perfect pull & bite. 2 stacks of the thick bone-in pig walls left me amazed after just seeing the miraculous color & cook on the exterior of these spares. Their taste & texture solidified that Old 76 Smokehouse is the most bona fide BBQ joint I've ever been to in the Midwest. These ribs aren't somewhat good enough, they are majestic. My only wish is they'd had a beef rib aka meat candy option too. Desserts: both Bread Pudding & Key Lime Pie are highlights not to be missed. Stacked tall & the absolute righteous finish to seal the deal for such an experience. I just can't say enough good things about Old 76. Loved it so much, our 5-guy party bought shirts & a hat to wear in TX & TN. If this was local for us, "O76S" would be a frequent stop. We're BIG fans now. Last but not least, the gentleman working the show & taking orders was kinder than Jesus. He treated us right, & that's a fact. Talk about hospitality to the Nth degree. Ain't nobody going to be sad about that & we'll remember this kindness in anticipation of being right back ASAP! What we couldn't stuff ourselves above the gullet, we took home & all the girls promptly & heartily finished it off exclaiming how wonderful it was. They only missed out on the experience but not the tenderness & flavor!! Visitors & locals alike, DO NOT MISS this opportunity to dine like a king!! You will have died & gone to Texas, I mean heaven! One con & warning: if you don't have a truck with ample under-carriage space, avoid the furthest drive-way next to the fence. It is too steep & you WILL run aground, as we did. Enter & exit on the gas station side only.

It's rare that I'll even try Barb-B-Q outside of Kansas, Texas or Tennessee and I know there are…read moresome good spots, but I've been burned by more bad than good. The brisket was amazing, the fries and beans were also very good. I'll be heading back to try other menu options as soon as possible. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!!

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.

Ribs are never ever tough (or obliterated). The smoked turkey always has such moisture. The kind of moisture coming from the meat - (not) some juice poured on it. Sides: Have their beans and tell me they're (not) some of best you've had! - These owner folks care and take a pride in every plate they put out. This is a husband/wife team that cares and works well together in what they do. There is (no) better BBQ in the SW Missouri area....nothing comes close to this place.

We decided on Crazy Craig's treehouse, one that looked like cozy simple affordable food. Upon walking into the establishment, we discovered that the parking lot is a tight entry with the infamous Branson hills. The exterior was appealing and cool to look at yet the interior was cramped and barely any room to sit. They did have a nice area to sit upstairs though the pool table upstairs didn't contain the ball rack and the table was incredibly dirty/unmaintained. Moving onto the service. We were told to sit anywhere and someone would come and check on us, it was several minutes before someone came to check what we wanted with little to no business going on. However they were nice so that was a nice plus. The pricing for this place is a little overpriced for the simple food menu they have. We paid 10 dollars for chips and queso and the serving size that was on the platter was barely enough to feed us both. Our main entrees were easily 15 dollars a plate and not to mention that it took quite a lot of time for everything to come out. The overall taste of the food/drinks were very disappointing. My Dr Pepper was extremely flat no matter a refill or not, the chips were stale, and the queso tasted like fake cheese (only cheese I can compare it to is lunchables). My chicken sandwich I ordered was incredibly subpar: especially since when I pay 15 dollars for a sandwich I want a patty and not two chicken tenders plastered on a bun. Especially the pepper jack cheese on my tender sandwich had absolutely no spice which made me believe it was fake cheese as well. Even the pepper from the shaker only had a hint of the taste of pepper. The worst experience in this first and last visit was the fact that the pepper sauce (hot sauce) was all expired. Our tables sauce had expired on July 2025! I checked other tables and only one of the tables had a September 2027 date the rest had May 2025. So I didn't use any condiments on my food which overall ruined my meal. The only truly good food product I had was the French fries so if you go here just order the fries from the appetizer section and seeing how they are a bar as well: drink while you're here because you will need it to get through main entrees. Overall: friendly slow service, bad food, bad soda, and tight space and parking lot. Not worth your time!
