    Great food, service and atmosphere! We wanted a small plate for lunch and they had exactly what we needed! I had the St-Louis style spare ribs and they were great!

    Every thing was delicious fresh hot and tender ribs and rib tips which are hard to get right unless you know what you are doing even the sides Staff super friendly and helpful great service well lit and worth the trip and very reasonable priced. Great atmosphere.

    Just arrived restaurant is closing soon. We hangry and trying to get some hot food. We walked in the establishment and asked for to go menu and was escorted outside (by staff) to the to go window! I was surprised to walk back outside on the other side of store. It's really a outside walk up window and the menu is clearly lit up for you to place order. I'm only giving 3 stars as we are waiting for the food at the moment. When I take a moment to eat I'll let you know if it's better than 3 stars. They also offer a 10% military discount which is nice. We order the pick 3 combo as in pick three meats (barbecue chicken, chopped pork, catfish) 2 sides and cornbread. I'm so hoping it's good so I can come back and give them 5 stars.. I'll let you know. Oh yeah it's conveniently located on the strip hwy 67.

    One of the best experiences I have ever had at any restaurant! Ingrid was a spectacular waitress who offered samples of several items and made us feel at home like we were at a country diner. Daks at the front desk was so friendly and loves everything on the menu! The manager came by several times to check on us. This was our first time at Famous Dave's and I couldn't have expected such a wonderfully memorable time. I liked the sunny environment with comfortable booths and windows everywhere. The cornbread muffins were really great and the wings and BBQ sauce were good enough to come back for. You can get good food just about anywhere but you can't get good service like we had today. Whoever is hiring there knows what they are doing! Thank you!!

    This is my favorite restaurant here in Branson, every-time I've visited, Famous Dave's has been a go to, serving come back plates, from the meats, to sides, sauces, & those pickles!! We came at the last hour of service for dinner, Sydney was our server, and really went above and beyond waitressing. She had the best spirit and attitude and made us feel like we were her 1st guest, and not that last table. She was so informative and excited as she talked about the menu, and recipes. Food was sooo good I absolutely love the Mac n cheese it has jalapeños and corn in it, so very uncommon, but unique and good asf , definitely a must try. The beans are soo good and flavor on point. I tried the loaded potato with pork. It was good but not a-lot of meat tho! They had pink pig hats for the kids to color and keep them busy. Overall great restaurant and wish we had one in St Louis

    Always a big fan of Famous Dave's! It was my first time at this location, and it was wonderful! We had "Famous Patty" as our waitress and she was wonderful and quick. There was a dog adoption event being held outside which was just overall very welcoming (and VERY tempting). Food was yummy, I'm picky about bbq as a KC girl, but this was pretty dang good! Great restaurant, great service! We will be back!

    Food was amazing you should expand your business and build in Potosi missouri. I would recommend this business to anyone

    Disappointed there's only 5 stars here…read more Having been a local for a few years now, and hearing wonderful things about this place, we finally went. All the wasted time!!!! This small unassuming building is easy to pass by. Ya know those cartoons when a scent wafting through the air grabs a dog's nose and leads him to a meal? Yeah, that's kinda the vibe here. You order at the counter, pay (slightly pricey, but generous portions), and soon a huge platter is set before you. I ordered a Two Meat Plate with ribs, brisket, corn casserole and pit beans. Ribs: Tender, lovely smoke ring, quite meaty. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the rub, but I liked it. A lot. Nice crust on the exterior. Brisket: So many choices! Lean/fatty (or just maybe the counter guy said, "Lean, Fatty!"), sliced/chopped, prime/choice. Also good crust, smoke line, juiciness. But something was off. See below for further. Sauce: Not nearly as spicy as I like, and a bit bland when tasting off of my finger. However, when applied to the brisket, something magical happened. The best sauce/meat pairing EVER!!!!! My much better half has chicken and pulled pork. Don't know how hers was. Didn't care. Didn't ask. But she ate and didn't yap , so I'm happy. If she sees this, I'm effed. Dessert: Home made Key Lime Pie. Kermit's in Key West, FL LOOK OUT!!!!!! A magnificent meal.

    The best ribs and brisket I have ever had. The service was fantastic too. Can't wait to go back and…read moreeat in the back deck

The custard in the coconut cream was cold, creamy and laced with coconut and topped with a perfect level of whipped crème. I'm not a whipped cream girl but it was pretty tastee! The ambiance of this place is fun and retro. There is a main jukebox at the front and smaller options at some of the tables. The menu included about six different pies and several types of cheesecake. There were also several ice cream options as well as diner food, like burgers and dogs and sandwiches. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who eats.

    Cakes & Creams in Branson is such a fun little treat stop if you're in town and want really yummy…read moredessert. It has that classic vacation town feeling where getting ice cream just feels like part of the whole trip. Plus they have funnel cake and how can you not stop for funnel cake?! Great spot to cool off after walking around all day too! They have a lot of options, so it's easy to find something that sounds good whether you want pizza, hot dogs, a burger, ice cream, cake, or something extra sweet. Portions were generous in traditional diner fashion, everything was delish as well! Inside can get busy, especially during peak tourist times when we were there, so expect a little chaos and line movement going slow depending when you go. That's pretty normal for Branson, but worth knowing if you're tired or in a hurry. Overall, a pretty great stop!
