For a small, family owned biz, they are doing their best to bring delicious home-smoked food. Sometimes the staff can get flustered when there is a rush and they are short-staffed but they still bring out great food even if it takes a little longer to prepare. I recommend the BBQ nachos, Fried catfish (Friday special), burnt ends (Thursday special), the chicken strips, and bread puddings. They close early (8pm on weekdays) so arrive before 7:30 if you want to go! Since it's family-owned, they like to be home early I guess to enjoy their night with their family. :) Still worth the go and wait.

Checkout & view into kitchen.

Family owned restaurant with daily specials but today we had the beef brisket sandwiches. Missed catfish Friday yesterday. Brisket was delicious though! And we found room left to split a Bread Pudding with ice cream. So good. Highly recommended,

We found the fillin station while traveling around. The Burnt Ends were to die for.... the meal was hot and ready comes with two sides and the BEST HOMEMADE BREAD you ever ate. Definitely a place to NOT MISS!!

The BBQ Sampler!!

This place is super delicious and Shane was a great host! Go early since all the good food runs out fast. We visited from Texas and really liked the BBQ burnt ends. Definitely give the Fillin Station and try.

The Fried green beans are so good we almost forgot to take a pick!

On a recent trip to Branson we rented a condo and this one one of the only place pen in the fall season so we didn't want to drive 45 mins to Branson. I will say they are friendly and. Worked hard to accommodate our large party of 15. But it's not real clean. I had a had a hair in my burger. It seem to be more locals that go here. So we won't be going back if we are in the area.

Fried Catfish, Fritters, Fresh Home made chips and coleslaw.

This place is always a must stop and eat for us when we are in town. If I'm in town I try to make sure we go here on Friday (Fish night) or Saturday (Fried Chicken) night. Great food and wonderful service.

Take this place for what it is: a knockout Mom-n-Pop, down-home restaurant. We came in around dinner time with three small kids. My husband had the Roast Beef Special with mashed potatoes and cream corn. I ordered a Hickory-Smoked Combo with Pulled Pork and Brisket, green beans and cream corn as the sides. The kiddos had a corn dog and grilled cheese. The roast beef was great, BBQ was decent. The cream corn was delicious, the kernels are still moist, sweet, and crunchy and the dressing isn't overpowering. My kids scarfed every bit of their meals, I guess that's an indication they enjoyed their supper- right? What blew us away was the dessert. We had cherry cobbler and pecan cobbler, both served with ice cream. We were STUFFED, trust me. The cobbler was so good we couldn't stop! Loved the staff, prices were fair, food was great. I'd definitely recommend to families, large or small, wanting to save some money and avoid the chain restaurant JUNK. This is a gem for sure.

Excellent pot roast.

The Best things here are homemade desserts, beards & daily specials. Good home cooking. The hamburgers are disappointing & ordinary. The BBQ items are over-smoked & the sauces are worse than ordinary. BUT if you like good pot roast, or catfish or even meatloaf, this is a great place. Just don't order the BBQ or you'll be disappointed. I come here often for the great specials.

The sampler platter. Yum!

Great great food! Hospitality is incredible and only adds to the small family country bbq/cafe.ribs rocked. Just right. On point with the bark. St. Louis style, HUGE stuffed potato. Can't wait to go back for the fried chicken.

Not what it used to be. Food was bland, small portions, help seems to argue among themselves. Created an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Hands down the fried catfish was amazing - though it wasn't what I ordered. Unfortunately the seafood boil dinner was lackluster in presentation and they were out of several staple items for that night (We did get alternate items at no extra charge). I don't usually splurge on cuisine like this too often but when I do I hope for it to be nearly perfect, worth every penny and worth bragging about. The crab leg I've attached to this review was small and had almost no meat to it.. almost as if it were the last bit of crab they had left. The drinks came out very slow, had to ask a few times about drinks we had ordered and they were out of options (beers on tap) that night as well. The restaurant was really fun and full of character. But being an out-of-towner I was disappointed that I've had better sea food at chain restaurants vs a local establishment. Can't say I'd never come back, I would probably order something else and come on a less busy night...

The ambiance is one of rugged lodge and the menu gives the impression that you'll get exotic meats and fish prepared with an awe-inspiring uniqueness that you'll be looking forward to the next time you can visit. Unfortunately, it fell flatter than a carp. I ordered the fish tacos and couldn't have been more disappointed. The chips were bordering on stale, the "salsa" was actually store-bought Pace picante sauce. The fish, was just so-so and was NOT fresh. It had the rubbery hallmark of long-frozen fish over seasoned to hide the hint of "fishy" taste. The coleslaw was just store-bought shredded cabbage and the sour cream was Daisy. Not even an attempt at making a real crema or sauce. The chimichurri sauce was the only thing bringing a pleasant flavor to this dish. For $20, they do give 3 sizable tacos, but man are they forgettable. My wife got the Trout Almadine, and once again the fish wasn't fresh and the overwhelming almond crust and almond butter was trying to cover it up. Literally. The jalapeño corn bread was certainly a box of Jiffy Honey Cornbread mixed with minced jalapeños. We all loved it, but what can I say, Jiffy makes good cornbread... Overall, we left wishing we would've tried any of the other restaurants on this lively strip of Branson commercialism...but alas, we made a blunder. Pre-tip, we spent $96 on 2 entrees and 3 kid meals. No drinks, no apps, no joy. At least the service was fast and friendly.

Our group was large and they accommodated us without hesitation. The staff was amazing, very polite and hospitable. As for the food, it was really good. We knew it would either be a hit or flop. Thankfully it was a hit. Kids had shakes, which were amazing. The onion rings were nice and crispy by and large. The crab Rangoons were a hit as well - seemed home made with right amount of consistency and good dipping sauce. The crispy chicken wrap was good - fried chicken pieces, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and choice of condiments (Mayo, ranch, or honey mustard) on the side. Wrap would have been better if it had more chicken. It was loaded with other toppings though. The Smurd Burger was delicious - two smash Pattie's, cheese curds with lettuce, tomato, red onion. Patties were on the small side but it all came together quite nicely with the cheese curds adding a great garlicky element. He bun was nicely toasted and buttery. The regular cheeseburger was good and thick. Fries were seasoned well, hot and fresh and crispy. Egg roll was great! Pizza was hit with the kids. Would recommend. Wish we took pictures but we were so hungry we forgot. Side note: you go to counter, order food and they bring it out to you when ready.

We were immediately greeted with a welcome. We had seen the interesting menu already, but were excited to see what we might order. The crab rangoons were so good, as were both our burgers and fries. It's definitely more of a home-cooked meal diner vibe, with friendly people and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back.
