Food was excellent. We had the spinach salad and 5 cheese sandwich Our server Jessica was a delight! Good food and drink and excellent service. Visiting from Texas and wish we had a Black Oak Grill closer to home read more

Black Oak Grill - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

The atmosphere was intriguing with a nice wide selection of seating. I was glad we were offered a booth. I enjoyed the excellent lighting for all the trophies they used as decor. They offer a (local) farm menu but we opted for the salmon. It was overdone on the bottom, and the rest cooked tender. I could have eaten 3 white rolls; terrific that it was served with honey/ cinnamon butter. Yummy. The salmon portion was big enough to share and it was served in a bed of creamy couscous. Our server had a wonderful Colombian accent. Liam did an excellent job waiting on us at the late dinner hour. read more

Decent view of the boardwalk and great service, but the food was just OK. The Prime Rib Dip was under seasoned and the Sirloin was overcooked. With so many other places to choose from, this one can be missed. read more

The food was good service was good and the restaurant was nice If you are in the area this is a good place to place to eat. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my seared Aji tuna on an amazing bed of greens. My friend really liked her sirloin steak. My husband, however, did not enjoy his ribeye. It wasn't very thick or flavorful. Overall, I would go back though! read more

Upscale casual. Good burger. Potato skins with prime rib filling were tasty. They strive to make as much of their food from scratch. Although nothing on the menu is listed as gluten friendly, the manager was very knowledgeable about how to accommodate a gluten allergy. read more

This place is right on the broadwalk landing in Branson. When we went there was no wait time and there is plenty of seating in their large dinning room. The decor is spot on for the area. The food was amazing!!! Portion sizes perfect, the food was hot and so good. We will certainly be back to eat here! read more

Don't waste time or money on this overpriced mediocre food... the staff is rude and "can't accommodate a party of 10" McDonald's would be a better choice 10/10 times... read more

Black Oak Grill - The worst place in Branson... - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Of all the restaurants we tried in Branson, this one was the BEST. Servings were huge and tasty. We had the flounder. Mykola was our waiter and he was great. Drinks were good. And the pricing is oh so reasonable!! read more

Service was very good, but the food was unremarkable. Nothing noteworthy about this place. If you are looking for a special evening out while in Branson, you can skip this restaurant. read more

This was a great spot. We hadn't planned on dropping by here, but we were at the center and needed food. The famous chef place next door didn't thrill us, so we took a gamble. Service was impeccable. The food was spot on. The atmosphere even leant to something which led to another surprise. That other surprise was that the meal was at an amazingly good price point... and I rarely say this... I would have paid a little more. Instead we passed it on to the waiter who earned it. read more

The Black Oak grill is located on the end of the landing opposite of Bass Pro. There is easy parking behind it and it's close to get tp. I love the ambiance with all the windows and the decor is so cute! We have always been seated pretty quickly and the service is great! I especially love their salads. Their salad dressings are homemade and really delicious! I had the Prime rib sandwich with au jus and the spinach salad with goat cheese. This was so good! I absolutely love their salads. The second time we went at dinner I had the large chef salad. The ranch dressing is heavenly! My husband had the clubhouse sandwich the 1st time and the second time a burger. He really liked both. We have been enough times now to know the food is consistently good. It is definitely in our Branson restaurant rotation for sure!! read more

The coldest draught beer I've ever had. Actually came out with the lite slush on top. So cold! We ordered the pulled pork nachos and the fried goat cheese ball and they were both really good. The service was excellent and very responsive and attentive. She asked if my beer needed a refill right when I finished it! Great atmosphere with outdoor seating on the water or enjoy the AC inside while it's summer hot here. We will be back. read more

In town for a convention and saw this place and went there for lunch. The staff were very nice and the service was just fine. The reviews I saw in this place did not live up to my experience. The food was fine but my Seared Ahi Tuna salad was over cooked. I didn't complain as it was okay and not that over cooked. I wound have to rate my food experience as just average. Nothing bad at all and again, our wait staff were nice and very friendly. read more

Great place to grab lunch h- good food for an affordable price. These kinds of places usually don't offer lunch menus but loved that they did here. The interior is well kept and a nice atmosphere. Very nice bathrooms. Our server was excellent, and the food was pretty good. My spinach salad was very solid, great toppings but little things fell to the wayside (chewier chicken, cold bacon that's lost it's crisp but still real bacon, probably could use a little more apple cider vinegar in the dressing) . That's just my tips for the kitchen. My partner loved their sandwich! read more

The wings had great flavor, however they were a little dry , been cooked beforehand! Spinach dip, excellent, chips not so much, cooked in old oil, fried pickles are amazing, obviously in house pickling! And the soup was very good, Service was excellent and food came out very quickly! I say 7.5 out of 10 Carina was the bomb bar tender read more

Excellent place for lunch and probably the best value in the area. The food was delicious and the vibe was relaxed. I came with three of my kids 13, 11, and seven. Plenty of options for them and me and the servers were terrific. read more

The best place on the Landing for a meal and some Piney River Black Walnut lager. Prices are reasonable and the food is good and plentiful

In Branson for the weekend and stopped in for lunch. Located at the end of the Branson Landing strip. We were seated right away in a comfortable booth. There's a big sign above the bar that the restaurant uses locally sourced produce and meat, so we looked forward to a farm-to-table experience. My husband is on a strict diet for medical reasons so can't have dairy, gluten or sugar. He found a few items on menu that would work and ordered the Ahi Tuna salad holding the cheese, with olive oil and lemon sub for the maple dressing. I had the pot roast, which came in a smaller portion for lunch. Server brought bread and honey whipped butter to the table. The food and service were fine, but this is not a spot with great atmosphere despite other reviews. It reminded me of a bar that also serves food. Quite casual, as are most places in Branson. My husband commented that the flatware - specifically the fork - felt inexpensive like the style you might find in a diner. Women's restroom was average cleanliness. The whole experience was good but not great. read more

Their AC was finally working, so we gave it a shot. Everything was fine in the beginning. Giving our appetizer and entrée orders went well, and that's where the pleasantries ended. While waiting on the food, we opened our silverware and they were ALL dirty (x4). Every single one had chunks of food on the knives/forks. We asked for replacement silverware from the person who brought our appetizer and he seemed annoyed, like we were putting him out. He brought us 3 more and left. We opened the new set of silverware, and 1 was dirty. We're not being overly picky. It was gross. When the waitress comes back, one of the few times she checked on us, we mentioned the silverware issue. She brought us another one and said this happens a lot there. Ew! She has me open it in front of her and that one was dirty too. She seemed annoyed and got another set. On this new set, I was mainly looking at the fork and it was fine. I told her we were good and she left. After she left, I saw that the knife was gross, so I had my son grab another set from a different table. Finally, 9 sets later, this set was clean. SMH. The fact that we had to go through SO many sets just to find 3 clean ones is completely unacceptable! It makes you wonder how clean the dinner plates are. And of our 4 appetizer plates we had, 2 of those were dirty. I just don't understand. After quite a while, our appetizer finally came out. It looked like a deep bowl of white queso w/ little spinach bits in it, accompanied by tortilla chips. When we tasted it, that's exactly what it was. The spinach was almost not existent, and the cheese dip portion of it was incredibly bland. We had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper just to give it flavor. It was a little odd to be honest, but not terribly bad. Our entrées arrive. I got the center cut steak, w/ sautéed mushrooms and onions on top. I added horseradish sauce and raw horseradish on the side (I always order horseradish w/ steak- great flavor). My sides were zucchini and mashed potatoes. The potatoes weren't bad. The gravy was really creamy but a little on the bland side. Zucchini was slightly more flavorful, but not by much. The steak tasted like it was cooked in water so they could get it well-done, as requested. It was really tough and parts of it were overly chewy. I didn't even eat half of it. The sautéed mushrooms were the most flavorful thing on the plate. The quantity of mushrooms was perfect, however, I can't say the same about the onions. They were pretty much nonexistent, barely any on the plate. My husband's ribeye was very chewy and gristly. He said 40% of it was gristle, so he was disappointed as well. He liked his potatoes which did have flavor after he moved the herb butter from his steak to his potatoes. He said the zucchini was fine after he salt and peppered it. And FYI, my husband and I aren't ones to add salt and pepper before tasting the food. We rarely have to re-season dishes. At some point, after drinking a few sips of the tea, I decided to switch to Dr Pepper, since they did not have Sweet & Low. I was never offered a refill, but she did bring that 1 Dr Pepper in a timely fashion. For the most part, the waitress was MIA. When she did return, she'd drop things and run. I'd start to say something to her and she'd walk off. I'd get one word out and she'd be gone. I'd turn around to see if she was behind me or walking around the table, and she was nowhere to be found until she popped up again. The service here is just as disappointing as most of the food. When she asked how our meal was, I said that it was alright, but most of the food was pretty bland. She says "ok" and walks off without saying anything else. Again, what the heck is her problem? After 10 min or so she returns, ticket in hand. Mind you, I'm not even halfway done w/ my meal. She says- "here you go. We discounted some of the ticket for you." I tried to tell her that she didn't have to do that, I just wanted them to be aware so that it could be fixed, and she talks over me in a louder voice, finishes what she's saying, and walks off again. Really? First of all, we didn't ask for a discount. We're fully capable of paying the full ticket price for the food that we ordered. I just wanted the issue to be corrected in the future. I didn't even need them to remake anything. I just wanted them to be aware so they could fix it in the future. This waitress shouldn't be in a customer service role. Some of us were going to order a dessert, but we didn't get the opportunity because the waitress was having her little fit. And no, we didn't get there right before closing or anything, so there's no excuse for it. So not only did they lose the money she discounted on our ticket and the sale of potentially 3 desserts, but also our future business. We're locals (newly moved) and we eat out almost every single day. You do the math. read more

A group of 8 of us went for a late lunch. Service was good and prices reasonable however none of us thought highly of the food. It wasn't particularly bad but all of it was underwhelming. Best way I can describe it is they try to make typical food overly fancy and fail at it. read more

The wait staff was so knowledgeable about the dishes served and very attentive to our requests and needs! Loved the vibe of this restaurant! Will most definitely be back!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! the butter that they bring with the delicious complimentary bread is so sweet. The seating has always been quick, wait staff friendly. Beautiful views of Lake Taneycomo. Ny favorites are the Ozark burger, which is topped with a fried egg, and their spinach & artichoke dip with house-made thick chips. I ALWAYS recommend this restaurant highly. read more

I don't like giving a bad review. I took my Brother to Black Oak, telling him we could get an up scale meal there. It was anything but. He ordered the Rib Eye, medium. It came Blue. I ordered a cheeseburger medium rare. It was raw, cold inside. We couldn't find our waiter so we asked another waiter to take it back. She apologized and brought anew plate out. The steak was real thin and well done. My cheese burger was dry and well done. Our waiter finally came by and apologized saying it was probably his fault. We were hungry so we ate what was there and left disappointed. The manager never came by and checked on us. We were very disappointed and I was embarrassed for suggesting the restaurant. This was my 4th time eating there and have always had an ok meal. No more. read more

The place has a very minimalist and contemporary looks to it, they have plenty of seating for both big and small parties. The menu is very varied, and they have lunch specials until 3pm, and the food is very flavorful and fresh, I would recommend the Pot Roast and the chicken fried chicken. Prices ranged from $10.99 (burgers) to 29.99 (ribeye), but most plates are about $15. Service was really good, our server was very attentive, and made really good recommendations. They also have covered/heated patio, with a lake view. read more

Our our last night at Branson, MO. We decided to grub at Black Oak Grill and I'm glad we did. Very nice staff all around and our server was great. I wish I remembered his name. He was very cool, tall and had an accent. My boys liked him too. First we tried and the fried pickles and I gotta say, they were the best ones we've ever had (the wife and I). The batter was perfect and went great with the pickles. We all had burgers and they were hella good! Mine came with a fried egg (I should have ordered it sunny side up but it was still good fried). A group of nice people having an event inside bought us two desserts for holding the door for them as they carried in large boxes. We did not expect it but it was really nice of them. I really liked the cheese cake (the wifey said it was too dense for her)...I ate it all up. The brownie ice cream mason jar was really good too - my boys devoured it! On our next trip to Branson Landing, we will definitely stop by the Black Oak Grill. read more

Very disappointing . Don't get the spinach dip... the chips are gross and the dip is weird. I had the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. The soup was good taste-wise but the texture was super chunky. The grilled cheese was soggy and the combo of flavors with bacon and bell peppers was just not it. read more

Went to have dinner at 6:45pm. Asked if could just sit at the bar. I could but would have to wait 45 minutes to order. 2 people sitting at the bar. 7 or 8 open tables. Walked down to SaltGrass. Seated immediately with full dining room. AND got to order. !!! read more

Had a fantastic meal 10/14/2025 for lunch. Jamie was our waiter and had full knowledge of menu, was courteous with us, had food at the table in very short time and was friendly. We make it to Branson a few times a year and will definitely seek Jamie out for a great experience! Clean restaurant for sure. read more

Service was good, very attentive. Short selection on menu items. I had the pot roast and the flavor was a Grade of "C". Served with lots of sauté onions and a few various other veggies. Maybe 3 fork fulls of roast. Lots of much better places on the landing. read more

Stopped in for lunch on Sunday. The restaurant is on the North end of the Branson Landing away from big crowds, but still connected to all the shopping. Jessie took good care of our table and brought out a fresh hot loaf of bread and butter to start things off. I ordered a buttermilk fried chicken salad with honey mustard dressing which was very good. Another ordered the grilled salmon with mixed vegetables. I tried a little and it was delicious. The place is spacious and has indoor and outdoor dining overlooking the lake. Nice experience! read more

Really Great Food and Service. (Just a note, we were part of a wine tour, so our menu was limited) My little group had the maple salad...fantastic, the flavors mixed so well together. I tried the salmon and it was well worth the whole evening for me. Our waiter was efficient and polite. Restaurant was clean and classy. Restrooms were clean. No pics...I didn't think it was appropriate with a wine tour. ;) read more

Checked in at the hostess stand for a group of 5 & we were told it'd be at 25-30 minute wait. Thought this was very strange considering there was a minimum of 8 empty tables. As we waited, I saw one table get cleaned, but 2 others were left dirty. We also saw a couple arrive after us & were seated immediately. We were seated in 20-25 minutes, at a table that had been empty the entire time we were there. Our server arrived in a fairly timely manner & took drink orders & ask about appetizers. He did not realize that the 5 of us were actually 2 separate checks. That I understand. But when one appetizer was ordered, he said "ok" and immediately walked away, not bothering to wait if we wanted anything else. Drinks were served pretty quickly, so that was good, and we were able to ask for another appetizer. Unfortunately, 2 of the choice that we wanted were out-spinach dip and prime rib potato skins. We ordered fried pickles instead. The pickles came out in a timely manner, but the goat cheese, which was ordered first, took a while longer. We also had to track down a server to get utensils and napkins. They were not brought to us until we asked. Entree orders-my son wanted chicken fried steak. They were out. So this was now 3 menu items that they were out of (well 4 actually, since there was not prom rib for the potato skins there was also no prime rib for the sandwich). Three of our party ordered meatloaf, one ordered trout, and I ordered the Reuben sandwich. Food was brought in a timely manner again. The meatloaf was good and the trout was good. My Reuben, however, had very tough beef and very little dressing. The fries were also a bit hard. I didn't enjoy my sandwich very much. Overall, it seemed that there was no sense of urgency from any of the staff. The hostess greeted people as they came in, but didn't act overly friendly and if no one came in, she was on her phone. Again we saw one table get bussed as we were waiting for a table, but no other tables were cleared while we were there. We saw 3 left completely unattended and dirty. The servers all seemed to move at a casual, non-urgent pace. We were not in a big hurry and didn't have to wait for food for long, but I didn't feel like anyone tried to be super attentive and we had to flag a server when something was needed (like utensils & napkins, drink refills, and our check split). read more

I want to leave less but I can't. Service was excellent. I must say our server worked her ass off. We had a large table and enjoyed ourselves. Now to the food. Absolute 1 star. Apps were lackluster and boring. Options were not great but my god the flavor was trash. Main courses were all over. The ribs were apparently delicious because all who had them ate them all. The item labeled a ribeye was closer to a sirloin or even chuck. Not edible. Very thin and even when. Asked to cook rare or med rare the chef sent them all out well. Lastly and most disappointing was server brought us the bill even though we were still drinking. Place was dead and we were only ones left in joint at 9:30 but if we were spending 1500$ please don't ask me to leave when we are happily continuing to spend $ just because the bar tender wants to go home. Might have been a blessing because we found an Irish bar willing to take our $ for next 3 hours. read more

Plenty of good menu choices appetizers, salads, and burgers/sandwiches and entrées all available on the menu. From Ruben sandwiches to pot roast with gravy, the options are many. Service was pleasant and helpful. The kitchen made some mistakes on ingredients. However, our server was able to rectify the situation by bringing the appropriate fix. PRO TIP: Salads tend to run on the sweet side, so if you want to avoid sugar ask for dressings to be placed on the side There are lunch specials that run until 3 PM and a happy hour menu that starts around 3:30 PM. Check these for additional options. Visit this restaurant for a great view of Branson, Landing, the waterfront and the hustle and bustle of the areas most popular tourist spot. read more
