Just a couple from Indiana -If you want a good helping of food for the price this is the place to go. My Husband had the 3 way basket and it was more than he expected , bursting with flavor and the amount of food was enough for 2 to share. I had the 1lb crab legs with fried Okra and cajun rice . Delish! The atmosphere was nice with so much to look at. Our server was Cheryl and she was very sweet. We will definitely be back. read more

Super popular and very busy place. The staff really did their best to serve our party amongst an already packed house. It was however a very underwhelming experience for the food itself. Hands down the fried catfish was amazing - though it wasn't what I ordered. Unfortunately the seafood boil dinner was lackluster in presentation and they were out of several staple items for that night (We did get alternate items at no extra charge). I don't usually splurge on cuisine like this too often but when I do I hope for it to be nearly perfect, worth every penny and worth bragging about. The crab leg I've attached to this review was small and had almost no meat to it.. almost as if it were the last bit of crab they had left. The drinks came out very slow, had to ask a few times about drinks we had ordered and they were out of options (beers on tap) that night as well. The restaurant was really fun and full of character. But being an out-of-towner I was disappointed that I've had better sea food at chain restaurants vs a local establishment. Can't say I'd never come back, I would probably order something else and come on a less busy night... read more

We get back here every so often...and the place is still doing a great job at their original location. Tons of menu options. Always big portions. And out at this area of the lake....clearly the best place to eat. read more

Great food and service as always. Thats why we keep coming back when we are in the area.

AWFUL food. I had catfish bites, an appetizer on the menu, at $14.00, as an entree with my 4 friends at lunchtime on 8/11/25. the fish was mushy. I love hush puppies but not here - dry and flavorless. and the iced tea was nasty. I tipped since this was all the kitchen's fault and the bill came to $25 for lunch. not going back, ever. the only thing good about this disaster of a meal was the wait person, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and courteeous. read more

The portions here are so plentiful and absolutely delicious. Sometimes places with big portions lack in quality, but not here! The atmosphere is very home town lake vibes and I love the little gift shop. Food was incredible and im pretty sure I'll be eating it for the rest of the week. They were busy but our server was attentive. read more

Seriously Good eats and great vibe! Wish I lived closer, I would frequent this place. The service was excellent and the food always came out perfect.

Okay, I came here to this cute kitschy place with a group expecting there to be nothing on my keto, dairy free, gluten free, no red meat diet ( yes, I'm annoying, I get it.) However, I reluctantly ordered the chicken wings ( asked for them extra crispy with the Cajun sauce) and a side salad expecting a ho-hum meal. To my ultimate SURPRISE, these WERE LITERALLY THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS I'VE EVER HAD in my 38 year old life!!! I can't rave enough about how big, crispy, flavorful, and perfect they were! They had little fat, which was a huge plus too. However you're making these Flat creek, keep doin' it! I'll be back soon for these tasty wings! read more

Terrific late lunch, great menu with many offerings...had the fried chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes and all were excellent. Chicken was spot on, crispy and seasoned well. Green beans were just like Granny made them. Great vibe..,mix of Broadway Oyster Bar (in StL) and the bar in "True Blood". Had an awesome bar area as well with pool table and great jukebox. read more

What seems like a long drive into a random place is very much not that. The seafood dip and fresh friend chips will make you moan in agony because you know you've got to plow through it to get to the boiled seafood platter, the side of delicious fried catfish, melt in your mouth steak, green beans, and fried up okra. Better bring a wheelbarrow to haul yourself to the cat. And plan on unbuttoning your pants so you can breathe again. Worth every second of the misery! read more

Visiting Branson for my boy's WS Tournament, had the day off & went to the lake with fam & team. Heard of this spot and we stopped to check it out. We had a large party, all hungry, and looking for a place that would satisfy everyone. Man this place is good!!! I had their own brewed beer (pretty darn good!!) as well as the chicken & catfish plate and was not disappointed!! The chicken was nice & juicy, great flavor, the catfish was also pretty good, oh and it comes with fries, coke slaw, amazing hush puppies!!! Others had nachos, taco salad, burgers, Buffalo bites, fish, etc. Everyone pleased with their food. And those margaritas & bloody Mary's are awesome - watch out for that 60oz margarita AKA "the fishbowl". All in all, great place to come eat & have a great time!! read more

TL;DR: Unusually horrendous service tonight. Destiny did great, everyone else failed her. Currently eating at Flat Creek in Cape Fair, MO. I'm not sure what's going on tonight. Service is usually prompt and the food comes quickly. Tonight, however, they do not have many customers and there was no one waiting to be seated, yet it took probably almost 10 minutes to be seated. After being seated, it took at least another 10 minutes to get drinks (fountain drinks). Our food took over 45 minutes and by the time we received it, some of it like the pulled pork was cold, and others were hard from sitting under the plate warmers. What is sad is that our server, Destiny, was doing a phenomenal job but wasn't really being supported by the rest of team it looked like. Destiny was playing hostess, serving the 3 largest tables of customers, to include our 6-top, sweeping the floor, bussing tables, etc. Meanwhile, the other two servers were only serving. At least one of the other servers saw our food was sitting at the pass for a while and she didn't bother to tell our server or bring the food to us. She just meandered around. The kitchen also did not hit the bell for our server to know the food for her table was ready. Destiny is awesome, but the rest of the staff failed her tonight. read more

As always Flat Creek did t dissapoint. Reasonable food fast service and time experience. I'll be back...

Great food and drink. Happy place. awesome staff. Highly recommended. Family friendly. Popular. Excellent catfish

My partners favorite restaurant on Table Rock Lake. The staff is very friendly. They are able to accommodate groups of all sizes. The atmosphere is laid back and perfect for a date night or to bring the kids along. We started with pulled pork nachos and they are a big portion! I had the catfish with a baked potato and it was very good. It was served with a homemade tartar sauce. My partner had the chicken tenders tossed in a homemade Cajun sauce with a side salad and homemade Thousand Island. They have a full bar available if you are wanting a cocktail or beer. We ordered a piece of carrot cake and German chocolate cake to go. They were very big pieces and can be shared. read more

Food is great and the service cannot be better! We have found any item that isn't good. I try to order something different each time

Atmosphere is pretty cool. Seated quickly and got Katie as a server and she was awesome. I got the catfish and onion rings. My son got the ribs. Catfish was served hot and the serving size is plentiful. Be sure and try the flat creek hot sauce. The ribs are beef and the sauce is great. Definitely will return when back in the area read more

Even though we had to drive 36 minutes on winding roads this place is worth it. Everything was great. Steaks, ribs, shrimp and carrot cake! Wow read more

They have lost their quality and service. These guys WERE amazing! They expanded to several other locations, including purchasing and expanding Billy Gails. When they did, they make the mistake many small, quality restaurant owners make. They became a victim of their own success and have lost the quality of their food and service. At best, the location in Cape fair is a 2-star location now. The others, including the Billy Gail locations are 3-star at best for their lunches and dinners. So sad to see what was one of the best restaurants we ever ate at become one of the restaurants that we now avoid. read more

Ambience is good, service is good, food is not up to the quality of the price charged.

Wow - amazing fried catfish! We're visiting the area this week and local friends invited us out to dinner on Christmas Day. My wife and I shared two meals: - Pork Tenderloin Basket with Fries - Catfish Basket with Onion Rings (upgrades) There's a bag connected to the restaurant with a large tap beer selection. We both had large glasses of Stella. The pork tenderloin was 8 ounces of hand pounded, hand breaded pork, battered with crushed crackers and fried. It came on a bun with sliced red onion, lettuce and sliced tomato. I love breaded pork tenderloins (BPT) and this one was real nice. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. The fries were coated and fried crisp. Perfect. The Catfish was the real star tonight. Lightly breaded with a cornmeal better and fried perfectly. It came with 3 nice filets. The onion ring mugs were decent. The fish was amazing! This was a bit outside of West Branson, so a bit of a haul for use but worth it! read more

Share a meal. Size of food is crazy big. Casual dining. It is a bit of a drive from Branson if you are coming from there, but worth it. Careful, police run radar regularly on the roads in between. read more

When we first started coming here, the food was excellent....all of it. The last couple of visits though, the food seems to have gone downhill. Today I got the catfish (swai) and fried chicken basket. The fish was just okay. The thinner parts were pretty hard and dry, but the thicker parts were fine. The chicken was awful! It used to have a very thin coating on it and was really moist. This time, it was thickly coated (think of KFC extra crispy). It was greasy and the inside was really dry. The fried okra tasted a little stale. It was chewy. The baked beans were still really good! My husband's broccoli was pretty decent. It's really too bad, because we really liked this place and had referred many people here and brought many visitors here too. read more

Giving a four even though my rib experience was NOT good. I ordered the Cajun ribs they were very dry I took only 3bites not 3 ribs 3 bite's. I was not a fortunate as my wife and daughter on their selection. Wife's pulled pork was really good. My daughters chicken fried steak was huge and really good. It was one of those occasions where we drove all the way out there from Branson just to eat here. Waitress did ask if something was wrong with my meal. When I told her it was completely over done and dry she just committed oh,sorry there usually good. I would eat here again if in the area, BUT I wouldn't have the ribs. I normally judge bbq on their ribs and brisket. Pork and chicken is much easier to get right. Oh the ice tea was also good. read more

Me & my bf both got food poisoning. I am pregnant and have to go to the ER. Called manager, no empathy, or sympathy what so ever. Flat Creek is our absolute favorite restaurant. We even had an amazing server named Michael, we tipped him $40 on a $60 tab and spoke to the manager to let him know how amazing Michael was and how we had a phenomenal experience When I talked to the manager, he said well if you ever decide to come back ask for Bill and Ill get you some catfish. Didn't even ask what all we ate, or offer to look into it Don't think we will be coming back. read more

Wow! We visited Silver Dollar City during spring break with the g-kids and on the way home noticed the sign for all you can eat crab legs. Which immediately caught our attention. So many items to choose from on the menu and a fantastic kids menu which offers even a rib plate for options. We ordered 3 chicken drummies and French fries, crab legs, salad and baked potatoes . My husband ordered the seafood boil. Absolutely everything was delicious. Staff is friendly, restaurant and restrooms very clean. We will be going back for sure ! read more

Okay, so we had a super long day in Springfield at the Aquarium and a 1.5 hour drive South to the Lakehouse. Starting early this year and it felt great! Everyone was super hungry and we arrived about 4:30 for an early dinner. The place was already half full! And, now we know why. This all started with a referral from a fishing guide about a year ago. We started with a "Relaxer", that did the trick and a local blonde ale. Both exceptional. Son and Girlfriend wanted potato skins - man they were loaded and filling. My wife ordered the Seafood 4 Ways - far more than she'd ever eat, but she wanted to share the crab legs with us. My son's girlfriend and I got the Broasted Chicken. That's a thing in this area, but it's excellent and less greasy! Every side we had was excellent too. My son got the All You Can Eat Catfish filets. So we're basically having this awesome meal and Our server accidentally lost control of a Chicken thigh my wife had stacked too high with the table dishes and it flopped in her lap as he lifted it away! LOL, we all were feeling really "Relaxed" and we were not go to a Prom! Nonetheless, dude felt badly "Victor" and graciously brought us two kick ass desserts. Cinnamon bun cheesecake and a chocolate/cherry chocolate cheesecake! Not necessary, but so awesome for him to do. He cares! We all could not actually figure what was the best part of the meal. Mom taking one for the team for free desserts or the plates so packed with awesome food - it was good at every level. I'll be honest with everyone and just say this area struggles with good restaurants that sustain quality, service and cleanliness - 3 must haves in this industry. With all the food we had, our bill was less than $100 and was worth $150 easily. The staff and managers were on target with every level of service. Kudos to your management team. Yelpers, this gem is a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive. Be sure to ask for Victor and take one for the team, too! We wish them the very best and look forward to returning very soon! read more

Excellent choice for us and based it on the reviews. A brisket salad was one entree and the other was the chicken & catfish basket with onion rings & coleslaw. 2 pieces of bone-in chicken and 2 big fillets of catfish. Everything was delicious. Service perfect. Priced reasonably. Highly recommend read more

Must be several locals giving this place 5 stars because it is not a 5. I visited this place during a recent ride and it is not worth the money. I had beef filet potato and crawfish. Crawfish were the smallest things I have seen in my life and not good. Steak was ok but they do not know what medium rare means at all. Prices are nuts for what you get as well. If you are in the area the choices are limited so you may have to eat here against your will LOL! read more
