“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.“

“This is by far the best place to eat in the Branson area. I’ve been to this restaurant several times over the years and it never disappoints. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is top notch and the food is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“We were very happy with our recent experience at Mountain Top Grill. We were a party of 4 celebrating my parents' anniversary and had great service and really good food. We loved the venison tenderloin and the truffle chicken tortellini. The wrap and flatbread were just ok, but not bad by any means. We were even treated to a special dessert since we were celebrating, which was very unexpected and generous. The cheesecake was huge and we all remarked on how good it was. We booked a reservation after seeing good reviews and mention of the great views. We were not disappointed in either. I'd highly recommend booking a table around sunset to enjoy the beautiful views at their best.“

“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.“

“The mouthy waitress, the delicious biscuits and gravy, along side the crunchy and yummy hashbrowns!! loved it. we will be back !!“

“I'm scared to review this because i want to keep it to myself. They make everything scratch and keep things simple, clean, and delicious. Across the street things get a little dicey with the menu. They also send a text when your table is ready leaving you to wander the shops not tied down by a buzzer.“

“Great people here and they were very friendly“

“Second time here and was as good if not better than before. Their location has moved in the past year but it's not much further than it was before. We highly recommend the loaded hash browns. Their portions are big so if you aren't starving you could easily share. The service is always top notch too! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED“

“Went for breakfast buffet, made reservations but really didn't need to (at 9am). Cool looking restaurant, wish the weather has been nicer so we could have sat on the deck. Service was super friendly and attentive. Coffee and food were great--better than a hotel breakfast buffet, for sure! Had an omelette station, too. A tad overpriced for the size/selection of the buffet, but all the restaurants on the property are geared towards tourists and a bit overpriced.“

“Waitress had said she has worked for Cracker Barrel for twenty years. Must be doing it right!“

“We recently had breakfast and were totally delighted with the service, food, and atmosphere. Arthur was our host and waiter and although he was busy, he stopped numerous times to make sure everything was ok. We are looking forward to enjoying their great food in the near future. This is by far the prettiest restaurant in the area. We like their mission to New Life USA.“

“We were in Branson June 1 - June 6 2025 . (From Nebraska) We absolutely love coming to Branson —- we came on June 1st which was our 34 th wedding anniversary , and Branson was our honeymoon destination 34 yrs ago . We absolutely love love love Branson and all the entertainment it offers and provides . We love all the restaurants in Branson for a selection of a wide variety of food . We have never at hero’s but chose to try it this time —- it did not disappoint what so ever we absolutely loved it the food was delicious so good it called us back for a 2nd time Within that week —- the first time we had their fried chicken —- which is always kinda a concern being away with not knowing if it’s going to be greasy or not as my husband has a touchy stomach with greasy food . We loved the fried chicken !!!!! Literally lived it non greasy and very tolerable and did not upset my husbands stomach —- it was again very impressive and delicious . Toward the end of our week we chose to go back to hero’s once again and we were once again very very pleased . The waitresses were so nice and so accommodating and it was just he best in atmosphere —- we would be extremely extremely sad if this place ever closed because it’s on our return list for our next return to Branson . Oh and did I mention the breaded corn it’s a hit it was so unique and so different and it was yummy!!! Thanks hero tastes and taps you have us as a return customer to hero’s . It’s highly recommended over and beyond in a 5 star!!!!“

“This is far and away the best sports bar in town. Heck - they are pretty much my favorite place to eat, period! Their wings are the best ever - char-grilled, not fried or baked (as some mistaken reviewers have claimed. Everything is quite affordable, the service is beyond excellent, and the drinks are excellent! Do they get busy? Heck yes - and that's always a good sign! Do they occasionally have an off night? Doesn't every establishment? But do they respond to issues and take care of the situation? Absolutely! I often joke that this place is my own Cheers bar, as the staff is so good and know my name! If their food, drinks or service sucked, or was incredibly inconsistent, I'd never recommend them. But they are the best in town - and my first recommendation if someone wants a good place to watch a sporting event, they will always be my first choice to recommend!“

“We bought the package with whodunnit and wild West. The whodunnit was indoors with dinner. Fun comedy with audience participation. They then had trolley to take us to lookout to look over different areas of Branson( had elevator). They then took us by trolley to outdoor wild west show. This show had excellent horse riders to a gentleman who could do rope tricks. Excellent family outing with teenagers. Both shows has comedy. I had no expectations but absolutely loved!!! Highly recommended. If you have a kid who like horses or cowboys this is your show. There are several times they have loud fake guns- just know if you have child with autism ahead of time for covering ears.“

“As a local, it’s so nice to have a relaxing environment with great food and excellent and professional service. We have never been disappointed. This Open to the Public high end Country Club experience can’t be missed! Thanks for the lovely dining experience Brittany and Ledgestone staff and chef!“

“Thank you for your donation to the Reeds Spring parent-teacher organization! We are very grateful! The teachers have endured a lot while they await the renovation of their school building, and we are thrilled to be able to love on them with your help. Good scoops speak from the heart! 😃“

“The fun the friendly people, the American way of celebrating.“

“Food was amazing and loved the vibe definitely will go back. Good portions too“

“The food here is spectacular. It's a little more expensive that you would pay in town but once you see the portion size, you'll understand why. They seem to always be understaffed for some reason which takes so long time for specifically alcoholic beverages, and appetizers to come out in a timely manner. Plus getting your ticket at the end takes a wee bit.

But you can always make a reservation here and I promise the food is always going to be delicious. Worth the wait.“

“I have eaten at this restaurant quite a few times and I keep going back! A lot of the food is made from scratch and they have large portions! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! It’s just a great place all around. If you haven’t eaten there yet, I highly recommend it! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Unique flavors very good food for all ages“

“Our server Anna was great with the recommendation of the bourbon, glazed salmon. My husband loved his hamburger. It was juicy and cooked to a perfect temp. We do not like an overcooked hamburger. we will definitely be back.“

“My daughters and I dined here and I am absolutely stunned by the amazing views from every angle of the restaurant and bar!! Beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious! We will come back every year!“

“5 star review Best Bbq nachos hands down, and our waiter Turbo was AMAZING!!“

“We did the wine tasting. Max was our host & he was a lot fun & entertaining. We had a great time! He's deserve 5 stars!“

“This place was great for us! Food was good, wait staff was incredible! They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. That says alot when traveling with a child who has Autism. So welcoming.“

“What a great place! Good food choices, friendly service. Food tastes great , reasonably priced.“

“We tried Shepherd’s Grill for the first time. It was a Sunday for lunch with our church group just after noon and it wasn’t busy at all whereas other places in the area were swamped. My wife and I shared a sampler platter for $23.00 and my soft drink was $3.00. We thought the service was good and that the portions were worth the price. We both ate our fill and still took home food. However, we both considered the meats to be just satisfactory as the ribs were not falling off the bone and none of the meats were all that savory or tender. But for the price, we were satisfied and will most likely come back again some other Sunday with our church group.“

“Gabby was AMAZING! She helped us with the drink and dinner menu to decide what we wanted. By far the best service we’ve had in the last year and I truly appreciated feeling like our patronage was appreciated. I highly recommend the food and atmosphere BUT if you are blessed enough to have Gabby serve your table you should feel special because she will make you feel special. We will be back and enjoy our night again!“

“The options will suit almost any eating lifestyle! The omelette station is a favorite! Service is excellent ❤️“

“Out of this world experience! From the perfect service to the sunset to the doggie box —it rivaled our French Laundry experience— We celebrated my wife’s birthday and chef was in-the-zone amazing! We split the crab cake, jumbo shrimp, chicken cutlets and the heirloom burrata salad was delicious 🤤 The staff all signed a birthday card, they even split our cocktail(s)! Who does that!? They also gave us a set of sparkling wine flutes.
Desert —YES get some. We will return.
Thank You Worman House for making me look like a classy catch and helping me romance my classy sexy spouse of 25 years! Cheers 🥂“

“the zues burger was delicious“

“Great food, good service😀😃 would Definitely go back fo ago!!“

“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!“
