“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.“

“This is the best place we have ever ate in Missouri, we have lived here 3 years. The service was great and the food outstanding. They even made a special meal for Ray. This will be our go to place to eat from now on. They deserve a 10.“

“Great people here and they were very friendly“

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

“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 love spending our Friday evenings at Pier 28 for dinner and live music! The Cruiser 28 pizza and Italian salad have become our weekly go-to orders, and they never disappoint. There’s plenty of boat parking, and the lively, welcoming atmosphere makes every visit a great time. The live music is a hit, especially from Riley Braker! We are going to be sad when they close for the off-season.“

“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.“

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

“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! 😃“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“10/10.... everything was excellent! Atmosphere, service and especially the food!“

“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!“

“Food was very good and way more than we could eat. Our waiter Oscar was the best. Very concerned about his customers . We will be back. Of coarse we love the atmosphere since we’re from Louisiana. I would give them a 10 awesome.“

“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!“

“8/9/2025 2:45pm

On vacation we had a group dinner here. Charlie was amazing getting us seats and making sure we're comfortable. We had two servers our table had Denise. She was great handling the table and split tickets. The guy looks like the manager seem to have a issue with me checking the section seeing if we had enough space before my huge party sat. Our other half had a different server who was not pleasant. Seemed like she had a issue doing her job. Overall the food and drinks were great. Thank you again to Charlie (Hostess) and Denise (Server).“

“We love Cheddars. It is a corporate restaurant and our expectations are consistent with that model. Our meal was as expected with the following exceptions:

1. It is my fault for not checking the ticket prior to departure, but I was charged $7.29 for chips & queso dip after redeeming "free with code" coupon. LESSON: Thoroughly, check your bill.

2. Buffalo rollup: shell was dry and crusty after being seared on a griddle.

We will be back though this visit had a few negatives. The staff and waitress were outstanding!“

“Fresh very tasty food and we had a wonderful server“

“Our 38th Anniversary eve dinner and our waitress Carissa was amazing, from beginning to end (with apple cobbler n ice cream) Carissa took care of us so well! We give Carissa and Jack Henry’s five out of five stars!“

“Had dinner there for the first time in 2 yrs. Night and day difference between visits. The food was excellent. Employees acted as though they care and want to be there. It was a great experience all around. What ever changes they made were exactly what this place needed. Highly recommend“

“Ate here at 3:20pm on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. We ordered the Feast for Two. Everything tasted fresh, moist, and delicious. Our waitress, Nicole, was friendly, helpful, and great too! I would rate our food, and experience A+. It couldn't have been any better!“

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

“Love visiting when we are at the lake. Food is always good, service always great as well! Love the addition of fruit for breakfast!“

“Went here a month or so ago and hostess was miserable, went there today and that same hostess was the best hostess I have ever seen, really incredible.

I’m guessing she gets abused frequently by customers and was probably having a horrible day last time we went through there.

Servers both times were awesome best of the best.

Food is good, they are definitely understaffed but they do the best they can.

Recommend stopping here if you do not have the time to wait in long lines.“

“I recommend Fuddruckers. I can't complain. Do I have one favorite food item at Fuddruckers? No and the reason I answered No is because I have multiple favorites at Fuddruckers. If I had to pick only one favorite it would be the fish and chips. Fuddruckers you're awesome.......“

“This an the best Resort I ever stayed At! I would recommend this Resort to everyone! Booked under my boyfriend, Clay Smith!“

“Our waitress was Kshe. She was amazing! We had a group of about 32 people. She served us with courtesy, and professionalism as well as a smile. She was extremely fast and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the chicken pot pie and it was great! RECOMMENDATION: Great food and great service.“

“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.“

“I called ahead with a very large order. They were SO KIND and even bagged each meal separately so I could easily pass them out to my large group. My youth group enjoyed their burgers so much and said they’d love to go back. This store is very competent and well run. The food was delicious too.“

“Just had a relaxing lunch. The food was great. Anthony and Steve were our waiters and they did an excellent job. If you haven’t had Red Lobster in a while, give them a try. The new menu is great. I’d give them 5 stars!!“
