I’m from Kansas City and so am no stranger to good BBQ. I just had burnt ends and brisket and they were 10/10. I have never had better BBQ. If you are looking for superb BBQ in the Table Rock Lake area, it doesn’t get better.

A party of 7 and I went in Sunday afternoon and got our food brought out pretty quick, the staff was kind and interactive, and they had cool decor as well. I would definitely come back as a lunch stop or even taking the family out for dinner. Worth every penny

Found Pop's on line and thought I would give it a try. Was in Branson West for a weekend getaway. They didn't have a whole slab of pork ribs left so they offered me 2 beef ribs to go with it. I told them I was heading back to Illinois with the meal, so they wrapped the ribs in foil for me. I froze them overnight. All sides and ribs made it to Illinois in a cooler. Nice cold and ribs were still frozen. Ribs and sides were great. We enjoyed everything. My husband especially liked the beef ribs! Thanks Pop's for the great meal and being so accommodating. Will absolutely stop again next time we're in Branson!

By far one of our favorite places to stop! You can’t go wrong with anything you eat! I always say good barbecue is meat that doesn’t need to be sauced up but they have incredible made in house sauces that just make the food even better! We love Pop, Lolli and the entire family at the Shack!

We came to Branson in 2022 and fell in love with the take-n-bake pizza that was sold at this location in Branson West. When we returned to the area in 2024, we were so disappointed to see it had closed. (We rented a condo with an oven specifically because we wanted to bake this pizza! Ha…) Despite our disappointment, we decided to give this place a try as it was highly rated.
We ordered a 1/2 pound of pulled pork, an order of the kellybeans, and a slice of the lemon blueberry cheesecake. I also helped myself to 4 types of sauce: garlic sauce, peach whiskey, sweet mustard and shack sauce. (PS - thanks for the to-go containers and sharpie so I could keep the sauce straight! Very smart…)
It was all incredible. Sooo delicious! The pulled pork was perfection. Every sauce was amazing. The Garlic Sauce was especially tasty. But the cheesecake - probably the best cheesecake I have ever had! Although we will still remember the old Lake Take-n-bake pizza with fondness, Pop’s Smoke Shack is a new favorite. We live 10 hours away (Minneapolis, Mn area) but we will be back!
The staff was super friendly and fun, too.
Highly recommend!!!
(I gave the ambiance a lower score mainly because seating is limited. It’s more of a take-out restaurant, in my opinion. You don’t necessarily come here for the ambiance. It’s the FOOD!!! Fantastic! They do have a few tables indoors as well as some nice tables set up outside, weather permitting.)
