“Honest Review of Billy Gail's in Branson, MO I recently visited Billy Gail's in Branson, and overall, it was a good experience with a few ups and downs. Starting with the positives—the service from my server and the front-of-house supervisor was excellent. Once I was seated, my server was attentive and friendly, and the food was very good. The portions were generous, and the flavors were exactly what you’d hope for from a place known for homestyle cooking. However, the initial impression wasn’t quite as welcoming. The hostess gave off a rather cold and distant vibe upon arrival, which set a bit of a negative tone at the start. Additionally, it took about 20 to 30 minutes before I was even greeted by my server. It turns out she hadn’t been alerted by the hostess that I had been seated, which explains the delay—but it was still a bit frustrating. Despite the rocky start, the good food and strong service from my server and the supervisor made up for it. I’d definitely give Billy Gail's another try, especially since the food and service (once it got going) were solid. Hopefully, they can smooth out the front-of-house communication to create a more welcoming first impression.“

“We had such a great time at the restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and we ordered four different items to try. Everything was amazing. The atmosphere was so inviting, and we really enjoyed the cozy nooks they had.“

“We loved this gem! We stubbled across this cafe when walking downtown Branson Sunday morning. We were seated right away, food was on our table in under 10 min and it was a wonderful comfort food option! Very reasonably priced and our party of 4 left 4 empty plates!“

“We had dinner there when we were in Branson and it was great! I was busy talking and didn't eat much so the waiter asked if my food was okay he said I didn't have to pay if I didn't like it. I told him it was fine I was just talking a lot I took the meal to go and enjoyed it later. The Flaming Margaritas were amazing!“

“HIDDEN GEM ALERT!! My husband and I are both excellent cooks, so we don’t eat out very often for fear of disappointment. This restaurant absolutely hit the spot! Food was excellent, steaming hot when it hit the table, seasoned well and very FRESH tasting. The iced Chai Latte is delicious paired with the triple chocolate cake! The service was outstanding. Extremely attentive and friendly. Menu prices can’t be beat for the quality! We will ABSOLUTELY be back.“

“Billy Bob’s Dairy Land is such a fun place. It’s small but don’t let that fool you. The food is great (real ingredients) and service is spectacular! Another diner suggested requesting caramel for the sweet potato fries. They will do this if you ask and yum! Make sure you save room for those little pies they have. Sorry, we had it gone before we thought about the picture so you’ll have to trust me on that one. We will be making this a regular stop every time we’re in Branson. There are many pie flavors for us to try!“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 5 Star Food 5 Star Service 5 Star Cleanliness 5 Star Owners I recommend multiple trips to the Philly Truck to try EVERYTHING! Gyros are awesome!“

“nice atmosphere...kind people“

“I’m a Branson local. This was my first trip to Mountaintop Grill. I’ve been to Top of the Rock many times. This was pretty comparable. We got greeted promptly by a golf cart shuttle for curbside service which was very nice. The entry is grand and standing out looking over the ozarks is pretty breathtaking. It was a work lunch and we sat out on the deck. The views are of course absolutely spectacular. Our server was nice but a little slow. We had a larger group of 9 people. The food was amazing. I had the chicken sandwich and the fried pickles appetizer. Price per person is on the higher side compared to a lot of restaurants you’ll find in Branson but this is a great place to splurge and just enjoy a little finer experience in dining.

Parking: Plenty of parking during lunch. Even had shuttle service from the parking lot to the front which was very prompt and much appreciated“

“We had Katie as our server and she was beyond amazing!

She was attentive and made us feel very welcome. Dine in or drive through, the food is the same, but it was having her as a server that truly elevated the experience.
We'll be requesting her if possible next time we come in!!!“

“Very good breakfast! We really enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“staff was very friendly and helpful. food hot and fresh. Abe was great waiter.“

“My boyfriend and I came from Springfield down to Branson to golf and this is the first place we wanted to stop at to grab food. Their sandwiches are truly the best and the place is kept very well. The food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are generous. By far, the cleanest restaurant I’ve ever been in. Definitely will stop here whenever we can to support this business!!“

“We for a date night last night food an Apps fell pretty flat, food wasn't anything special bland and unappetizing.... 💯
Now the dessert we ordered was amazing apple pie ice cream thing best thing we ordered ❤️ manager did comp some of the bill to help......“

“Food and drinks are wonderful, Eric was super friendly and makes the best raspberry daiquiris ever.“

“We went over to have a drink. It was a very friendly atmosphere. It took almost 15 minutes for someone to even ask about a drink. Customer Service NEEDS WORK“

“Our waitress was absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't speak enough good about her. She was quick and polite, and our drinks were never empty before we had another one on the table. She had the absolute most beautiful smile! Tatiana, YOURE AWESOME!

The food was hot and delicious. This is the only restaurant where I've actually been able to eat the mozzarella sticks. They weren't overly greasy like others I've had.

The only thing that wasn't great about our experience was the hostess. She was EXTREMELY snarky and rude. We didn't realize that the high chair was the kind you set in the booth. When we asked her about it, she was rude when she responded, "Well, I can't set the high chair in the floor." Girl, you could've been a lot nicer. I didn't get her name, although now I wish I would've.

If you go to Chili's, definitely ask for Tatiana as your waitress. You WONT be disappointed!!!“

“Downstairs from the Osage Restaurant is the Buffalo Bar, a great alternative to the restaurant if you do not have the required reservation at the Osage. The establishment is only open between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm, however, tables are abundant inside and on the huge patio. On clear evenings chances are good that you will be seated quickly.

On our visit, the hostess showed us to our table within a minute of arriving. Before long our server Makayla welcomed us and enquired if we knew what we wanted to drink. The punctual service continued without our meal which began with delicious complimentary mini loaves of fresh bread and rosemary honey butter. Such a fantastic way to start a meal.

This unique rustic, western-themed bar is just as much a restaurant as it is a bar; in fact, it features the same menu as the restaurant above it. If you looking for a cheap meal, you won't find it here, however, you will get a meal and an atmosphere that would put a smile on the late President “Teddy” Roosevelt's face. Yes, your wallet may groan a bit when you pay for this five-star meal but your tastebuds screaming for joy will drown it out.

To keep the billfold moans down, I decided to skip the very tempting beef options and go for the bone-in pork chop. Because the sides were $12 a piece, I opted for just one: the roasted corn. My girlfriend got the roasted chicken and did not notice that the sides were not included, so she ordered the sweet potato mash and the crispy Brussels sprouts. Everything was amazing and full of flavor!!

The pork chop was cooked as I ordered it, keeping its moisture and tenderness. It was easy to cut with a butter knife. Her roasted chicken was the same, just as sweet and juicy, not under or overcooked. The sides hit the spot as well. Even the pickled pears they garnished my plate with went well with the pork chop and the divine chocked cherry dipping sauce.

Thank you Makayla for doing an excellent job keeping us happy and kudos to the chef for the meal that I will always try to achieve from my own grill.“

“On a beautiful sunny afternoon I rode my goldwing motorcycle through town. I'm not one to treat myself, but thought "what the heck" and stopped at this particular Denny's. JP(short for Jennifer P) welcomed me like family and helped me decide on a black coffee, lumberjack slam with caramel banana cream pancakes on the side. I enjoyed the flavors as if trying them for the first time all over again. The food was not greasy and the coffee was not weak. All in all I was extremely happy with the meal and friendly service. I highly recommend that any decent persons looking for an authentic experience gives this location a try. I think you will be joyfully surprised.“

“They never disappoint! Two words…. Cheese sauce!!!“

“During a recent trip to Branson, had a pretty nice dinner with my wife. For starters, were were seated and given a nice cornbread appetizer. It was OK, but nothing terribly spectacular. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, which had tomatoes on it.......not terrible, but was peculiar. Finally, the main course, my wife had the mahi mahi with shrimp and sauce. Her fish was overcooked but the sauce was to her satisfaction. I had the Kansas City Strip with Crab Cake and mashed potatoes, and was very pleased with the cook (it should be noted that I am somewhat of a steak snob, so a cook to impress me is quite some doing).“
