Portions were solid, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere had that classic Branson BBQ vibe--casual, welcoming, and just a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Staff was friendly and kept things moving without making it feel rushed. If you're in Branson and want legit BBQ, this is a must-stop. Definitely one of the better spots in the area.

Turned out they were out of burnt ends at 5:00. Problem is they were also out of brisket at the same time. Lots of unhappy customers. Saying that: the chicken, ribs and sausage we had was all very good. Great flavor and the meat was all well smoked. Corn pudding and baked beans were also very good. My only suggestion is the place plan for more main essentials being a BBQ place.

This was my favorite bbq place!…read more The burnt ends were wonderful! The ribs and brisket were great too. I loved all the sides. The banana pudding was good just wanted more. Salted caramel brownie was so good! Would totally order it again. The waitress was so kind. Helped suggest some of the top things people get. We loved all her suggestions. It was decorated very cute. Loved the big table down the middle. Could fit a big group. Must add to your list to try!

Disappointed there's only 5 stars here…read more Having been a local for a few years now, and hearing wonderful things about this place, we finally went. All the wasted time!!!! This small unassuming building is easy to pass by. Ya know those cartoons when a scent wafting through the air grabs a dog's nose and leads him to a meal? Yeah, that's kinda the vibe here. You order at the counter, pay (slightly pricey, but generous portions), and soon a huge platter is set before you. I ordered a Two Meat Plate with ribs, brisket, corn casserole and pit beans. Ribs: Tender, lovely smoke ring, quite meaty. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the rub, but I liked it. A lot. Nice crust on the exterior. Brisket: So many choices! Lean/fatty (or just maybe the counter guy said, "Lean, Fatty!"), sliced/chopped, prime/choice. Also good crust, smoke line, juiciness. But something was off. See below for further. Sauce: Not nearly as spicy as I like, and a bit bland when tasting off of my finger. However, when applied to the brisket, something magical happened. The best sauce/meat pairing EVER!!!!! My much better half has chicken and pulled pork. Don't know how hers was. Didn't care. Didn't ask. But she ate and didn't yap , so I'm happy. If she sees this, I'm effed. Dessert: Home made Key Lime Pie. Kermit's in Key West, FL LOOK OUT!!!!!! A magnificent meal.

Fantastic service from our waitress. Appetizers and entrees were excellent!…read more The ribs and rib tips were so tasty and just perfect. The baked potato was fluffy. We really enjoyed the corn muffin.....consistency and sweetness were very good. The only complaint we had was the blinds (we sat in a table booth next to a window) definitely need a good cleaning. Ironically, on our way to Branson, we were talking about a restaurant we had stopped going to because the blinds were so filthy. I definitely would not put this into that category, but they need a good cleaning. Very gross to sit next to dirty blinds while eating. This is the only reason I am deducting 1 star!

The staff was helpful (and checked in on us once we were seated and eating, which is not always true of BBQ joints), and the owner let us check out the pit and ask questions.
