    Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita

    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.

    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. If you are in the Branson area and want to go for a drive, think about heading to flat creek for some catfish, crab legs and serious dessert.

    Chicken wings, side salad

    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!

    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.

    This menu tells your your stomach to prepare for a full on tasty assault.

    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!

    Chicken & fish platter

    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!!

    Food at Flat Creek.

    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.

    Best onion rings in the County. Their sandwiches are excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. Always a treat when I get to go there.

    The pork chop was incredibly delicious and tender, cooked to perfection. I also thoroughly enjoyed…read morethe grilled portobello mushrooms, which were flavorful with goat cheese and balsamic sauce. The service was outstanding, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. One thing I especially appreciated was the atmosphere. The music was at a comfortable volume, allowing for easy conversation. The restaurant has a unique and memorable vibe, with large rock walls that create a cave-like ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Eureka Springs. It's a dining experience well worth having!

    This was probably one of the best meals we had on our trip. Unfortunately, the service didn't match…read morethe food. We had a 6:30 p.m. reservation but arrived around 6:00 pm to figure out downtown parking. We expected to wait, but what bothered us was watching two couples with the same reservation time arrive after us and get seated first. We weren't seated until 6:33 pm. The host wasn't welcoming or accommodating. Our server didn't seem to care about us and was not attentive, and she came across as more snobby than friendly. The food, however, was exceptional. The Caesar salad was outstanding, featuring a high-quality eggless dressing with a mustard-forward flavor. The smoked short rib was generously portioned and a great value, especially since many upscale restaurants charge extra for sides. The mac and cheese, had great flavor but was very rich and thick, making it quite heavy. The smoked duck was another standout--perfectly cooked. I think a berry-based sauce would've elevated it even more than the tangy barbecue sauce, but it was still delicious. The restaurant itself has character. In the back, there's a cave-like structure where we were seated, which made the experience feel unique and memorable. I just wish the hospitality had matched the caliber of the kitchen, because no matter how good the meal is, we didn't feel genuinely welcomed.
