“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. 😀”

• Take-Out

“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!”

5 The Worman House

4.5 Superb 205 Reviews

612 Devil's Pool Road, Ridgedale

“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!”

7 Buffalo Bar

3.6 Good 259 Reviews

150 Top of the Rock Road, Ridgedale

• Delivery

“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.”

12 Saint City’s Sports Bar & Grill

4.8 Superb 774 Reviews

3265 Falls Parkway Ste z, Branson · 8.99 miles

• Take-Out

“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!”

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!

“Food was very good and the staff was very nice. My only problem was as we were waiting for our food after ordering a man and woman got up from their booth along with their large doodle dog. It’s actually illegal to have dogs inside a food restaurant and they should not have been allowed in. I am a dog lover myself. I have two small dogs and a large dog, but people need to leave them home. Restaurants need to be better at turning people away. I also heard someone else a couple tables away comment on a dog in their. For this reason I probably won’t go back.”

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!!!!”

5.0 Superb 32 Reviews

120 Wildwood Drive South, Branson · 9.59 miles

“This bar gets a 5 stars rating primarily because of Carolyn. She was the bartender working nights on the second night of our stay. She saved our vacation or at least made it so we didn’t have to go looking for another hotel. (See my review of the Thousand Hills Resort Hotel.) There were numerous problems with our room and we were getting nothing but lip service from the front desk. Late at night we were whining about it to Carolyn. She took the initiative to do something about it. She called the night maintenance man in to talk to us and he made sure the maintenance issue were addressed that night. I wish I could remember his name of the maintenance man as he deserves credit as well.”
