    Great place to eat a good meal. Service is great! But it can be priced on the high end and portions are smaller then I thought for it but otherwise great place to visit in Branson.

    Chicken strips were dry, waitress was very unpleasant. The mashed potatoes were the driest potatoes I ever had it was as if they scooped out the inside of an old baked potato. Worst $50 I spent in Branson.

    We went with my parents for breakfast. We had 6 at our table. The food arrived cold and the service was terrible. They had live music during breakfast.

    We went for lunch and it was a 30 min wait to be seated because they were short staffed. The place was far from full. When we finally got seated we placed our order immediately as we had been looking over the menu while we waited. After our waitress took our order she never stopped back at our table until we flagged her down for our bill. I finally got another waitress flagged down to refill our drinks for us. We had been sitting for nearly 15 minutes after we were done eating before we finally were able to get our waitresses attention and bring us the bill and boxes for our food. I would hate to see what service is like if it was actually busy.

    I should have known as soon as I ordered a glass of their house Cab, when the Waitress said: What’s that and I heard her remark to one of her co-workers that she has never served a glass of wine before that I would be disappointed. Wine was pretty bad and the Reuben sandwich only had a single slice of meat, very little cheese & sauerkraut so disregard the pictures of thick & filling sandwiches on their TV screen. Fry’s were good as was the ice cream sundae. I’d skip this one, unless you’re there for the entertainment.
