    What's left over of Hot Fudge Kahlua Brownie

    Came the first time, couldn't wait 30 minutes wait time. Came the next day, still 30 minute wait time. Decided to wait. I was in the mood for bbq. Friendly, got us our appetizer which was the salmon spread. It was a meal to it self. Lots of chunks of salmon, creamy and rich, the toast was delicious . I had the pulled pork and my wife had the salmon. We both enjoyed our dinner and the chili was mild with a slight hint of sweetness.. The place was busy with a fast turnover and management surprised us with brownie for our 50th anniversary

    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.

    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

    3 meat lunch special + extra ribs & a side Ceasar salad

    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!!

Angelica was so attentive, so helpful with choices, and such a wonderful young lady. Ask for her when you go. The thing that kept this review from being a five star was the hostess. She took our name and phone number, but didn't put our name on the list. After waiting outside in the heat for too long, we went in and asked how much longer and the manager couldn't find us. Not cool.

We settled on a fried pork tenderloin and a single burger. The food was excellent, freshly prepared, and piping hot upon arrival. The staff was very helpful and attentive. You order at the counter and take your number to the table and the kitchen delivers it in a very reasonable time. The drinks are self-serve but members of the staff asked if I'd like a refill and did the running for me. They even brought me a "to-go" cup when we finished our meal. It was very comfortable and quiet during our visit but with a full dining room it has the potential to be a bit noisier. With a live band, it could be more than a bit louder. Tips: Head to the back and browse the vendor booths on the way. Expect to make some compromise decisions. You can't eat everything at one visit. On the way out buy something and support a local vendor. The building's purpose to give local vendors a place to sell. No vendors will cause the grill's rent to skyrocket.

My waitress, Jacqueline, was so very sweet. She kept my drinks full and got me extra plates. Don't listen to the hateful comments on here. This place had great, fresh food with awesome service. I plan to always come back in the future. Next time I'll try the omelet station. It looked amazing!

I recently returned a year after the first visit, and it hasn't changed a bit. The menu is extensive insofar as classic American fare is concerned, but this isn't the kind of place you'll find 4 clever variations on Eggs Benedict. Anything named after Benedict Arnold has no place in the Ozarks. A year ago, I ordered a western omelet, which commanded my attention and exertions for the better part of 20 minutes. The portions are definitely generous - the pancakes are the size of pizzas. If you're on Ozempic, either skip this place or confine yourself to a single slice of wheat toast. Some gals in the group demurely ordered half portions of biscuits and gravy, thinking a dainty portion would show dedication to preserving their girlish figures. These "half portions" filled the entire (largish) plate. I made a mental note to opt for this on any future visit, and that future arrived this week. Biscuits were country-good, and the gravy was substantial, not that watery stuff that is sometimes drizzled on Pillsbury-from-the-tube biscuits. If you're in Branson, head a little south of the dam to Hungry Hunter. Get there early, because this place is deservedly popular and there will probably be a wait. And the parking can be a bit contentious. It's not open on Monday or Tuesday.

There was something off-putting about the CFS. I didn't care for the coating or the gravy. I'd give it a 2/5. My stepmom gave it a 4/5. Her tastebuds are broken. My dad enjoyed his omelette and said the veggies were lightly sautéed and not greasy. The service was good. The wait was not worth the taste of the CFS, but honestly, 0 minutes of waiting is not worth the CFS. I typically love CFS, but in this case, I wish I had tried the French toast instead. Me: 2/5 (based solely on taste, 5/5 for portion size) Stepmom: 4/5 Dad: 5/5 then amended to 8/10, which is 4/5
