“This was one of the BEST dinner experiences my husband and I have ever had. And that’s saying something as we fine dine often. Our waitress, Naomi was very knowledgeable and Naomi’s service was Top Tier!! The steak and salmon were both excellent!! My compliments to the Chef!!”

“We had originally planned to go to Arnie's Barn but it was closed. The good was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Our waitress was amazing. The price is high, but you are paying for the experience.”

“Food was absolutely delicious! Service was very quick and the place is very clean I loved all the the automotive decor on the walls I’m really big on bathrooms being clean and the bathrooms smelled amazing and it was very clean, and the sugar scrub was a pleasant add on. Overall very nice place will definitely be returning!”

“Lovely place with excellent service. The live music was great and there was a beautiful sunset. The appetizer menu is very limited. The appetizers and drinks are expensive. Wine $20+ glass.”

“Stopped here last minute for lunch after going to Top of the Rock. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful and also made our amazing drinks. The fried okra was the best I have ever had! We will definitely come back if we are in town again!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Kelly took care of my wife, my mother, and myself on Mothers Day. He provided an excellent experience and kept us so happy. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I 1000% recommend visiting!”

“As the publisher of Arkansas’s largest lifestyle magazine, AY About You, I’ve sipped coffee from coast to coast, but let me spill the beans: nothing—save for my husband’s sacred morning brew—holds a candle to the liquid gold served at this charming little coffee haven just outside Branson. Nestled near the shimmering shores of Table Rock Lake, this quaint gem is a love letter to cozy vibes, driftwood decor, and caffeine-fueled daydreams. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by an atmosphere so warm it could thaw a polar bear’s heart. The place is decked out in rustic driftwood accents, with plenty of nooks for a clandestine business meeting, a solo book-reading escape, or just some good ol’ people-watching. It’s the kind of spot where you could pen your next novel or simply eavesdrop on local gossip—both equally productive pursuits. The star of the show? The coffee, of course. I ordered a classic coffee, a macchiato, and an iced caramel macchiato, and let me tell you, the barista—a delightfully friendly gal with a smile brighter than a Branson stage light—nailed it. This wasn’t some half-hearted syrup-slinging operation; they use real caramel, the kind that makes your taste buds do a happy jig. Every sip was a masterclass in flavor! And the value? For a publisher who’s seen her fair share of overpriced lattes, this place is a steal. Five stars? Oh, honey, I’d give them six if I could. I’m in town for two days, and you bet your sweet biscuits I’ll be back tomorrow, cozying up with another cup of their magic. To this little coffee shop: thank you for making my road trip not just bearable, but downright delightful. Keep pouring that liquid sunshine!”

“The serve at the bar was awesome!! The bartender ‘Tim’ was friendly and provided great service! We highly recommend the Buzzard Bar!”

“My first time Glamping and Big Cedar does it right. I was in unit 37 which I highly recommend as its in a quite area compared to other units but convenient to everything. The unit itself was very cool, we had all the comfort of a hotel room but were in a tent which we were able to keep the sides open and have a beautiful view of the lake and wildlife. Great water pressure in the shower, heat and AC when needed and a TV just in case I wanted to watch some sports. The deck had spectacular views of the lake. A few small issues, the Canteen which is the only food location at Long Creek was either closed or was out of stock on most items when we went for breakfast. Check out Table Rock Coffee up the road for beverages and a small selection of pastries. The best breakfast we had (great pancakes and biscuits) was at the Log Cabin Inn off resort about 10 minutes away. Also if you are a light sleeper, the birds and other animals make a crazy amount of noise at sunrise. On demand shuttles were quick and efficient and all other dining, golf and activities were excellent.”

“Breakfast sandwiches were pretty good. The biscuits are delicious. Combo sandwich/coffee comes with a side of fruit, which was nice.

Coffee is better than the provided pouches in room.

Server was great about answering questions and allergies.”

“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!”

“The food was decent. Nothing to write home about.\n\nSome in our group enjoyed fish and chips.\nThe pizza was eaten quickly.\nI was told the bison burger had a weird texture and only half was eaten.\nThe nachos consisted of about two bags of chips, 2 cups of congealed nacho cheese, a drizzle of bbq sauce, and maybe 1/2 cup of brisket. The remaining toppings we ordered on the side. Wouldn’t get them again. \n\nHowever, Jeremy, our server, was so polite, kind, understanding, and on top of things. Our entire group couldn’t stop talking about him and we made sure to let him know as well. If only every server could be like him!”

“Arnie’s Barn absolutely exceeded expectations. The food was outstanding everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The fajitas were sizzling and loaded with flavor, the tacos were some of the best I’ve had, and the queso and sides were just as impressive. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in every dish.

The atmosphere is just as good as the food. The setting inside the restored barn is unique, relaxed, and has an incredible view that makes the whole experience even better.

What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. They made sure every detail was right from start to finish.

If you’re looking for great food, a great atmosphere, and top-tier service, this place delivers on all three. Highly recommend.”

“Tyler was our waiter. He made the evening! The food was excellent, drink selection vast and on point. Tyler’s suggestions and ability to engage on a personal level made us feel as if we were sitting on our back porch without a care in the world.

Dinner was top notch. Beef cooked perfectly, sides were more than ample and add one took it to the next level.

With that said, it would have paled in comparison without Tyler’s flare and disposition.”

“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!”

“I chose this brewery for our girls trip on the way to Branson, it was incredible, best pizza ever and very good beer flights , and of course the service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back here on our next trip”
