We stopped in over Thanksgiving weekend. It was busy but we were seated pretty quickly. Food was great (I had the chicken salad on croissant and my friend had the steak burger/fries and a shake). Friendly waitress, pleasant singer, we'll be back:)

Jackie B. Goodes – Branson, MO We chose this place after a long all-day drive because the website clearly said they close at 11 pm. We arrived at 7:50 pm, were seated quickly, and expected a normal dinner with our families. Instead, things started off poorly. Our waitress came to take drink orders and immediately told us we needed to hurry because they “close in 10 minutes.” We apologized and even offered to leave, but another staff member stepped in and said we were fine to stay. Despite that, our waitress continued to act annoyed and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Oddly, once the food came out, her attitude completely changed and she suddenly became very friendly. The food itself was fine — nothing bad, nothing special, just okay. The restaurant displays a tribute to its namesake, a decorated Vietnam Veteran. As two disabled veterans traveling with our families, we expected at least basic courtesy. Unfortunately, the way we were treated at the start set the tone and made the experience far less welcoming than it should have been.

We've been going to this place when in Branson for 20+ years and it never disappoints. They have great live music! 🎶 Nice spot for families, clean and updated inside. We'll be back!

Decided to stop in for lunch as we visit Branson often and like trying different places. It was super close to our hotel which was convenient. We ordered a vanilla coke, water, single burger with cheese and chips, Ruben with broccoli cheddar soup.

The burger seemed like something from a cafeteria and the Ruben was small for the price. The chips were probably the best part of the meal. The soup tasted good but was more like gloop than soup.

The saving grace was our waitress, Lydia. She was absolutely amazing! She made sure our drinks were never empty and checked in on us regularly. A true gem in today's world! Thank you Lydia!!!!!

Some live music, but just ok. The green beans need some work.

I thank it was out of place the way it was done because a man goes in to get some to eat and set down to eat and could not even be able to eat and gets trespass and that is not very godly like.
