Voted "The Best Overall Restaurant" in Branson, Missouri, our historic floating restaurant is located just off the shore of Lake Taneycomo on the famous White River of the Ozarks. Floor-to-ceiling glass offers dramatic views of this beautiful waterway; in fact, many of our guests arrive by boat, tying up on our pier to rest and enjoy a leisurely dinner and drinks. As the name suggests, fresh seafood is the focus here, with a range of delicious entrees from both fresh and saltwater—but the menu also features hearty steaks, chicken, and ribs, plus sandwiches and burgers. Celebrating the traditional flavors of the Ozark Mountains and our love of the water, the White River Fish House promises a unique and memorable dining experience for young and old alike.

Wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner for our married couples church group. Dave the manager did a great job setting up our reservation and the waitresses and waiters did a fantastic job making our evening extra special. The food was so unbelievably delicious and the cornbread was out of this world. Thank you Dave and the crew at White River Fish House!!!

Waited over 45mins for our food, our son got his food while we waited. We are traveling and needed a break and THIS was a waste of money and time.

Went here today and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. We ordered the catfish and Walleye. Fish was undercooked and no seasoning, mashed potatoes were cold, mac n cheese had a weird burnt butter taste, and the service was pitiful when there was absolutely no reason for it. The restaurant wasn't busy. It takes a lot for my husband to not eat his meal and he left his plate full. Maybe it was just a bad day? Either way, ruined us on fish for a while.

What a cute place! Well, it is Bass Pro so the expectation is high. The Fish House is lovely but does not make you feel at all like you need to "dress for dinner". The food was good, the table service was prompt and friendly and the views of Taneycomo are worth the trip all alone!
