Had a tremendous two-night experience at Crazy Craig's Cheeky Monkey bar last weekend. The bands were great, especially Saturday night. The service is always friendly and efficient. Kelsi took good care of us both nights and remembered us when we returned on Saturday night! The place is always packed with an extremely diverse clientele. College students, Social Security crews, locals, tourists, brides-to-be, divorcees and everything in between!!. It's an intimate venue where tables are shared happily. We met interesting people and became fast friends with many. And we danced like there was no tomorrow! Oh, and the food was top notch as well. Highly recommend it! read more

This great lady was part of the wait staff the day we were there. She was so sweet and kind. We fell in love with her. She even loaned my sweet man her specs. If ya haven't stopped in, ya need to!! LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

We loves this place. it's our go to when in Branson for the night. Great people, drinks & atmosphere!

Spicy dip was good. Drinks were really good. Food was average. The fact we had to swat flies out of the our faces was disappointing.

Food = Good Service = Good Drinks = Good What else do you need to know? Hoping to eat there tonight! read more

If you are a Nebraskan, let them know you will get the statue for your table. Love this kitschy little place. Servers are amazing. Drinks are good. Prices are pretty good. If I do make it back to Branson, I will be coming back here. And you should too. Want to feel like you are at your local bar. This is the place to be! read more

We were looking for a place to have a drink and a little downtime outside of our vacation condo. Cheeky Monkey was a great fit! From the time we walked in to the time we left everyone was very helpful and friendly. Multiple employees helped us while we were there - they work as a team- and we enjoyed that experience! We were greeted at our table with a small sample of one of their signature drinks - it was tasty and not too much in the glass. There were 3 of us, we all ordered drinks and a couple of apps to share. The drinks were mixed well but a bit on the pricey side at $8 each, the food was tasty and great pricing for the size. I loved the flavor in the brisket quesadilla! The chips and dip were tasty too, but I hadn't realized it was a cold dip. That didn't stop us from eating it all! Masks are optional here, tables are spaced apart nicely. They have a nice stage for live music though there wasn't live music going on while we were there. There was music in the background and it was a nice mix. Overall we enjoyed hanging out here and found it to be a nice spot. Would definitely come back! read more

The food was exceptional and the wait staff were friendly and helpful. Someone is tip skimming at a very large scale. This is the second time this has happened to me at the cheeky monkey. read more

As soon as we entered, we felt like we were at Cheers. Everybody yelled welcome to the Cheeky Monkey. We found a seat for our party of four and were greeted with complimentary shots within a minute. We were there for drinks and were kept well stocked all night long. The band, Lancaster Station, was awesome. My only complaint, the dance floor was too small, but a great night all the way around. read more

Looking for a spot that stays open late that serves alcohol! This is your place! The vibe was fun! Definitely met a lot of interesting people lol. The staff was cool always walking around checking on everyone, keeping tables clean. The drinks! Man oh man! Y'all gotta try the bartenders choice and tell them no mango lol it was like fruit punch but not too sweet it was just sweet and fruity deeelish! read more

OMG! I love a dive and has to be one of the best I have ever found! When you walk in the staff and patrons cheer you welcome you (just smile and wave) and you are also greeted with a shot of the drink of the day. Who doesn't love that kind of hospitality? Only down side was there is smoking inside but they do offer a shaded patio so... ‍... we just went with it. Drinks were great. I ordered the Curious Monkey (bartender's choice), no clue what it was but it was awesome. So awesome in fact my husband took it and I had to order another (again no clue what was in it). This one was different but equally tasty. The food was also very good. We had the brisket nachos and pizza. Definitely a hidden jewel. Highly recommend! read more

Crazy Craig's Cheeky Monkey Bar - Curious Monkey cocktail.... Bartenders choice. Ordered 2 both were awesome and different! - Sports Bars Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Don't use a card here! We had a tab for $45.00 and a few days later we saw on our statement that $102 was deducted from our account. Don't get me wrong, we always tip 20%, but we did not tip $57 for some buckets of beer and 2 shots. We called to try and speak with a manager, left our information, and no one ever returned our call. If you decide to go, bring cash. Super shady. read more

This is becoming my favorite eating spot when visiting Branson, MO. This time, we ordered a variety of beef brisket, 2 full racks of ribs, smoked beef sausage, pulled pork, and several sides of beans, cole slaw, and potato salad. The barbeque sauce that accompanies the meal is a major bonus for zesty appeal. As expected, there was hardly any food remaining for a hungry party of 7 afterward. I highly recommend this spot, especially on Saturday afternoons during football season. The owners are huge Cornhusker fans and make sure Big Red is represented on the TV screens. read more

Cool place, awesome atmosphere and very friendly staff. Worth going to just check out the place

Service was good, food was pretty good, drinks were great! Smoking bar didn't realize that upon arrival. This is probably a good place for social people who don't mind people smoking. We should have read that in the website so that's on us. Service was extremely fast too, that was great! read more

Was told when visiting Branson you have to come here so not sure was I was expecting. It was def a "happening place". They get very busy and when we walked in it was standing room only. A negative for me was there is smoking allowed inside. Not a fan. Left smelling horrible of cigarettes. Another negative was we ordered the rum punch bucket off someone's recommendation. Tasted like pure sugary juice with no alcohol. Shared the brisket nachos which were also just ok. They were cold. Not what I expected also. One positive is they have live music, lots of dancing, people have fun. Just did not like the drinks, food or cigarettes so it was a miss for me. read more

Went here yesterday evening after a day of swimming , with a friend and our teenage kids just to eat, as soon as we walked in we were pushed away with rudeness from the girl bartender over my daughter having her swimming top on and shorts, in which I told her we are eating outside and just came from swimming, agian was rude , so we went outside and waited at a table , then had to go in and ask for service, the two guy waiters were very nice to us but also made us feel unwelcome at times we spent 140 dollars on a family dinner and the side were little dipping bowls not even enough for one person, will not be going here again! read more

Delicious drinks and helped us celebrate our 'anniversary with a drink! We had excellent service also!! Highly recommend

Great food and fun atmosphere!!! The barbecue is delicious. I always stop by and pick it up to go when I'm in a hurry!

Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. Large selection of creative cocktails. Prices reasonable, but certainly not cheap. Decent portions. Appetizer of chips with queso and salsa very typical. I assume chips were bagged. Queso good. Salsa appeared fresh. I had the ribs and brisket. Brisket very good. Ribs were well seasoned. Very tender. Unimpressive smoke ring, but quality smoke flavor and aroma. Sauce was tangy but nothing special. All three sides for the ribs and fiancée's pork sandwich were wrong. Chose to middle through as nobody came by for quite a while after we were served. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Traveling from Texas. Great bar service but asked for half slab of ribs. They were so bad even a server and one of the "pit cookers" came over and apologized. Some of the worst we have ever had. After apologizing, still had the nerve to charge us $22 for them. I mean...really? Won't ever go back. read more

I think some of the reviews are for the Cheeky Monkey in Fall Creek. The location in Branson has been open less than a year and they are a no smoking facility. Unless something has changed since the last time we were there in March, 2024. The food is really good, especially the Burgers! read more

Really exceptionally good BBQ and drinks, cute theming and friendly staff. We were really impressed with this local spot. Only negative was smoking inside the restaurant by a few patrons however outdoor seating was also available so it was only a minor problem for us. read more

Visiting the area, Crazy Craig's Cheeky Monkey Bar was a close food option and we loved everything about it! The staff was extremely welcoming, the drinks were great and the food was fantastic. We had the brisket nachos and pulled pork quesadillas and both were fantastic. We will definitely be making an attempt to stop back in before leaving town. read more

Yes love it there. We stop there every time we r in Branson! It's a must. Fun great waiters fun good drinks!! The barbecue is excellent!!
