    Cashier (from Kentucky) was a delight. Great first impression for this establishment. Hubby enjoyed the ribs with a variety of sauces. He loves Mac and cheese and said it was tasty. I wanted wings. None to be found. Only reason I give it a four versus a five. I enjoyed the tater skins with chicken added. Hit the spot. Like the ambiance, music and again - service was great. Great place to grab some bbq.

    This is a really cool place that serves some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Plenty of choices and a fantastic staff. We will be back!

    Pork plate with 2 sides
    Michelle L.

    Nice clean large restaurant with the smell of woodsmoke greeting you upon entering. I had the pork plate wirh 2 sides and it was perfect. The pork was smoked to perfection and fall apart tender with your choice of sauce on the side. The bbq beans were loaded with pork and a perfect flavor and potato salad was spot on. Perfect for large groups m, kid friendly and dessert looked tempting..

    BBQ Platter (Brisket and Chicken) with Baked Beans and Mac N Cheese

    The brisket had a really good flavor. The fries were delicious. The seasoning on them was delicious. Mac n Cheese very creamy. They sell their bbq sauces and rubs. The spicy bbq wasn't that spicy.

    Pork eggrolls.

    This place was one that was recommended. Very good BBQ! The service was outstanding and they were all so friendly. The tables had a rustic vibe and I liked the picnic style seating. The pulled pork egg rolls were really good and different. It's worth the trip!

    Sandwiches, platters, and full trays for family style or catering. All of it is tender and juicy! The variety of sides has something for everyone. Big tables make it easy for larger families and groups to fit. Plenty of staff to keep things moving. We make this a stop every time we are in Branson!

    Food was ok. Came out room temp. Staff was friendly but service was slow. I'm not sure we would try this place again.

    Great food and service. I'd read the menu before going, it can get congested trying to look while right inside the door to order.

    TEXAN here & frequent visitor to TX Top 50 BBQ (TX Monthly updates every 4 yrs), which as you know…read moreis the king of the cuisine. I'm certain I've the experience to know what good BBQ is & isn't. And, boy howdy, this IS! Without a doubt, if Old 76 were in TX, they'd easily be on that coveted list of world renowned BBQ joints. That's truthfully rare to find outside the state. Situated exactly between Branson & West Branson, is this gem that's clean cut & the BBQ, sides too, is superbly executed. I'm not saying stuff to sound good. This is L E G I T, the real deal. They're pushing TRUE barbecue as it ought to be, not like some wannabe. I dare you to try any other place & find the same superb quality for ALL aspects. Get there before opening because the line gets long fast & the ordering takes time. There's limited seating that fills up quickly. I only wish it were larger in space & had the capacity for more help in front than 1 person. But for modestly using the limited space adjacent to a gas station, it's tastefully & professionally decorated & comfortable, just right for what it is, as opposed to the tacky, out-dated & sparse, or overdone interior that one tends to see elsewhere. Waiting for BBQ is honestly an experience & you must be prepared to wait your turn. That's how it is in TX for all the joints, folks ordering FCFS after waiting patiently in line for hours until sell-out. It's worth waiting on & building camaraderie with those about you. After all, you're about to celebrate gastronomically, I promise! Best sides: ALL of them but especially the corn casserole. You'd think it's vegetable bread pudding, it's so scrumptious!! Beans are no less than fantastic with bits of brisket - so warm & comforting. Potato salad is just a massive winner of full-mouthed goodness that's not typically mayo-ed down. Don't pass up the mighty fine coleslaw for topping your pulled-pork, pickles & bread for a highlight finish. Speaking of pickles, add more as a great acidic accompaniment. The sauce here is on the sweet side. It's really not needed AT ALL except to occasionally boost the flavor kick if taking leftovers for later. The meat's simple pepper & salt crust is all you need. & speaking of the Meats: Truly the star of the show as they should be. See the platter photo for yourself. Pick of choice or prime brisket. Prime for us. We could've appreciated a little bit thicker of a smoke ring but it was there despite the fast cook it probably endured. It needed to be a little less done on the fatty side but it was awfully tender anyway. Absolutely a winner brisket done right, so I can sweat the small stuff. All said, the perfect seasoning & bark set the tone & to me for brisket, that is most important. 99% perfect. Chicken: dark meat extra peppery & almost overdone but the white meat was super tender & nice to eat. It doesn't take away from the whole goodness of the platter though. Bologna: these ain't no lame Oscar Meyer store bought flappers. Talk about thickly cut, juicy heaven! Wow is all I can say - absolutely YUMMY. Pulled Pork: P I G G Y P E R F E C T. Don't even need sauce! Use the pillowy potato bread to die & go to taste bud heaven with rivers of salivation. This is so succulent, you might keep it all for yourself in a group setting. Ribs: BEST OF SHOW. These are guaranteed to be the best ribs in MO. Perfect pull & bite. 2 stacks of the thick bone-in pig walls left me amazed after just seeing the miraculous color & cook on the exterior of these spares. Their taste & texture solidified that Old 76 Smokehouse is the most bona fide BBQ joint I've ever been to in the Midwest. These ribs aren't somewhat good enough, they are majestic. My only wish is they'd had a beef rib aka meat candy option too. Desserts: both Bread Pudding & Key Lime Pie are highlights not to be missed. Stacked tall & the absolute righteous finish to seal the deal for such an experience. I just can't say enough good things about Old 76. Loved it so much, our 5-guy party bought shirts & a hat to wear in TX & TN. If this was local for us, "O76S" would be a frequent stop. We're BIG fans now. Last but not least, the gentleman working the show & taking orders was kinder than Jesus. He treated us right, & that's a fact. Talk about hospitality to the Nth degree. Ain't nobody going to be sad about that & we'll remember this kindness in anticipation of being right back ASAP! What we couldn't stuff ourselves above the gullet, we took home & all the girls promptly & heartily finished it off exclaiming how wonderful it was. They only missed out on the experience but not the tenderness & flavor!! Visitors & locals alike, DO NOT MISS this opportunity to dine like a king!! You will have died & gone to Texas, I mean heaven! One con & warning: if you don't have a truck with ample under-carriage space, avoid the furthest drive-way next to the fence. It is too steep & you WILL run aground, as we did. Enter & exit on the gas station side only.

    It's rare that I'll even try Barb-B-Q outside of Kansas, Texas or Tennessee and I know there are…read moresome good spots, but I've been burned by more bad than good. The brisket was amazing, the fries and beans were also very good. I'll be heading back to try other menu options as soon as possible. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!!
