Smith Creek Moonshine Branson Landing

I had the fried chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce, and it was delicious for a fried food spot. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the Buffalo sauce added a perfect tangy heat. It reminded me of a classic bar-type place—simple, hearty food with a cozy vibe. What really stood out was the quick service and their unique touch of offering free moonshine samples to try. That unexpected detail made the experience even more memorable. Combined with the great flavor, fast service, and nostalgic bar-like atmosphere, it’s an easy 5-star rating from me.

Im not a drinker by any means but i can tell you this if you want to do the shot tasting there is where you need to be(do not go on an empty stomach) but you do have a choice of not taking certain flavors and they do respect that, they make it fun and everyone is so nice

drove in from springfield on my 21st to celebrate. my id didn’t expire till 12/15/25 but the man on the microphone kept claiming it was expired and refused to serve me. mind you he was making a scene on the mic in front of 50 people. acted like i was stupid when i said it was sunday and dmvs are closed. he replied “i know what day it is it’s still expired”. very rude atmosphere. rude workers. wasted my time and glad i didn’t spend any money there.

We love this place! Food is a little pricey but delicious to say the least. You can also do a tasting at the bar (21+ only obviously) if you aren't sure what moonshine you want to buy to take home. The bartenders are comical and professional. It does get crowded so be prepared for that and the music is a bit loud but that's typically for most places with a bar.

This place is wonderful! The Moonshine experience is awesome pretty unique you basically try every single flavor of Moonshine for free, my Favorite was the coffee Moonshine, and the Bloody Mary ! The food is pretty good I ordered the Smothered Pork Tenderloin Plate, and it was delicious from the mashed potatoes to the fried okra! The staff are amazing too very nice and friendly! The only thing that they need is a bigger selection of Beer ! If you happen to be in Branson you must stop here!!

If you're looking for moonshine you've come to the right place. The woman serving samples of moonshine is hilarious and definitely deserves tips. We tried a bunch of food options and the standouts were the Reuben (it was on the special menu so I'm not sure if it's seasonal) and the sidewinder fires. The burger was okay and the shakes were not great, but the person making the shakes was new so I'll cut them some slack. They have super cool and fun merch so we picked up some shirts. Overall, a fun place to visit.

Stop in! Do it!! We ran across this accidently and expected fully that the tastings would have a cost (most wineries charge something). The great news is the do not have a charge! Shimmy up to the bar and get ready to be entertained and taste some really good shine! The barkeep (young lady, sorry I can't remember her name) was PERFECT for this job - tons of energy, hilarious, and kept it fun for all... remembered folks names, quickly found your smile and what put a smile on your face and she'd keep it coming. The tastings are like communion cups, so 13 tastes is surely only equivalent to 3-4 shots? Didn't matter the size, the tastes are fantastic. I don't usually like when people mess with coffee, but that coffee one was a pick! I loved the orange creme and it took me back to being 8 yrs old and I want to try it with vanilla ice cream now (you can gather, I bought that one too! HA!). A couple are bloody mary mixes, with jalapenos and YUM, I do not like bloody marys and I was tempted to buy a case. Wife and I had such a good time, we were laughing and smiling like giddy newlyweds... it was a fine touch to our anniversary weekend. As a treat, we grabbed one of the Buy 3, Get 1 boxes and loaded it up. Picked out Orange Creme, Coffee, Chocolate and one other that escapes me at the moment, but we are super excited to have some family over and have a tasting night at home... we'll then have to come back and load up again (after some more tasting excitement of course). What a smart business idea to allow free tastings and give a B3G1 box, you know they could sell bottles for $5 less each, but if they give you a free one, you won't do the math to realize that it's $22.50 a bottle which is probably what Walmart would sell similar shine's for. Not a care here, because this was an EXPERIENCE and that barkeep made it that BOMB! She had loaded up tip jars, so obviously others agree... she got a nice tip from us for sure.

They will help you load up your box, I am assuming they've had more than 1 person drop a bottle after tasting 13 kinds. Smart choice to have an attendant who carries your box and loads it to the register... after that, it's up to you to carry it home in one piece, lol. Seriously... did I mention, GO HERE! :) Top 3 in our entire weekend of fun!
Oh, apparently they serve food on the other side... so next time, we'll stop in earlier and try some dinner and then hit the drink side :) See ya'll then
