“Did not expect to get a drink while driving into a cave. The have non-alcoholic and alcohol drinks. Neat experience. The golf cart tour was probably the coolest thing we did on our trip.”

“Best venue ever!! Couldn’t have asked for a better view and exceptional food and drinks! The wedding manager seemed to be unresponsive and disorganized following up on the wedding due to a lack of staff but she showed up on the rehearsal and wedding day! Couldn’t have been happier!!”

“We had one of the absolute best birthday celebrations with our family at The Worman House! The property is beautifully unique and historic, creating a wonderful atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The staff was incredibly attentive to our party of nine, delivering impeccable service to everyone from the grandbaby to the grandparents.
The food was spectacular. For appetizers, we loved the shrimp, scallops, lamb chops, and the heirloom tomato and burrata. Our entrees—mushroom chicken cutlets, pan-seared halibut, Chilean sea bass, and the seafood pot pie—were stunning in presentation and absolutely delicious. We finished the night with a wonderful chocolate birthday cake, ice cream, and macarons. Between the live music, elite hospitality, and exquisite food, it was an unforgettable night. We cannot wait to return!”

“We only had drinks here and it was wonderful. It's an incredibly beautiful area. Drinks are kind of pricey though, but they have a huge variety to choose from and Bourbons, whiskey, scotch, and wine.”

“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!”

“It was so peaceful! We stayed here in March and it was one a day when it wasn't cold. It was warm enough to swim and walk around the woods and down by the lake. And there were hardly any otjer guests so it was like a private vacation. I expect you don't have that luxury in the summer as the place fills in and becomes crowded. I'll definitely be back!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“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!”

“Food was very good! Service was very slow. 😌 Loved the ambiance of the place & the decor was fitting for the location, however we were seated outside after dark where the lighting definitely needed improvement. We had to use our phones just to read the menu! But overall it was an experience I wouldn't mind repeating. 😀”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We had a table outside on the terrace with a spectacular view. The waiter who served us, Paul, was very kind, checked a few times if everything was okay and brought our food very quickly. I don't know what to say about the food, I'm not an expert on Mexican food. I found it too salty, too oily and burnt. I had the Quesadilla with Birria. My husband and son said their food was ok. We chose the signature dishes from the menu.”

“UPDATE: There are few things that separate great establishments from over the top. Buffalo Bar is one of the exceptional places. We understand that things always happen and it’s easy to be great when things go smoothly. How a business reacts when challenges inevitably arise determines which rise to the top. Buffalo Bar has risen to the top. We spoke to the owner today after last nights challenge and the situation has been more than rectified. Wonderful customer service and the standard of hospitality. Thank you very much! You have proven that your place is worthy of the spectacular reputation!!

We arrived at 6pm, sat just over an hour later. They have a sunset ceremony that slows things down. We waited so long (over an hour and a half) for our food that we had them box to go. We ate our anniversary dinner out of Togo plates in the room. We were told that “there was a large party upstairs that had everything moving slower”. If that’s the case, don’t seat anyone else. Very disappointed to spend the time and money for a special occasion here only to have a large party cause us to wait an excessive time and eat our food in the room. Definitely a wasted evening.”

“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!”

“Yummy + Quick Service & in a fun location (near the go-karts ;)”

“We called with a party of 20, an hour before closing time, expecting a no, we’re sorry…but instead we were told to come on down, and we’ll get you taken care of!! Our family all got to sit together at one table, 4 generations! It was wonderful!! None of us expected the awesome meal and service we received! The most impressive meal in Branson, and way more than you’ll be able to eat!! Our family couldn’t recommend the Pickin Porch any more! You’ll be so happy you tried it out! Our group is still talking about it! Thank you Pickin’ Porch, we’ll be back!!”

“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!”

“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”

“This is the place to go for coffee! The best coffee ☕️ and friendly staff. The vibe is chill and cozy. Good parking and across the street is the overlook to Branson. I love the games they provide and there are plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. My favorite coffee is the Napoleon.”

“We come here every time we come to the area! The food and service are both excellent! We have had a great meal every time. Our daughter is gluten free and they are very accommodating! Favorites are pork plate, Mimi burger, French dip made with brisket and bananas foster! Highly recommend”

“Both locations we have been to for years have been amazing to us every time we’ve been there. Highly recommend”

“First time ever…best experience ever had…highly recommend the dragon fruit teas.”

“I love being able to visit with kitties, at the moment, I’m caring for my parents on their home and miss my kitties terribly so having a place to go and enjoy kitty company is so wonderful! The place is clean and has plenty of room for the cats to play and adventure around! The staff are friendly and informative! My daughter and I really enjoyed our visit! Don’t forget to stop in the store to pick up a gift for other cat lovers in your life!!!”
