The food was amazing! Would highly recommend the Judges Plate if you're with a group! There is such a great variety and something for everyone's taste! The service was really good. Our server was very consistent in coming to check on us and see if we needed anything. read more

Absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was packed with flavor--perfectly smoked meats, great seasoning, and sauces that actually complement instead of overpower. Portions were solid, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere had that classic Branson BBQ vibe--casual, welcoming, and just a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Staff was friendly and kept things moving without making it feel rushed. If you're in Branson and want legit BBQ, this is a must-stop. Definitely one of the better spots in the area. read more

Had to try some BBQ in Branson and stopped by this place. Note that they had just reopened for two days after the winter close out. We ordered the meat smaller plate and brunt ends. Turned out they were out of burnt ends at 5:00. Problem is they were also out of brisket at the same time. Lots of unhappy customers. Saying that: the chicken, ribs and sausage we had was all very good. Great flavor and the meat was all well smoked. Corn pudding and baked beans were also very good. My only suggestion is the place plan for more main essentials being a BBQ place. read more

Being locals, we've tried just about every BBQ spot in Branson, and Gettin' Basted is by far our favorite. Nothing else even comes close. The burnt ends and brisket are my go to choices every time. They're tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The pickles and peppers are absolutely delicious and add the perfect kick to the meal. And the potato salad tastes just like grandma used to make. It's classic, creamy, and full of flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Decor is typical BBQ joint. Lots of sheet metal, ribbons and pig images. The good - Service was five star. BBQ sauce good sweet flavor. The bad - food was a disappointment primarily due to hype from others and ratings on Yelp. Got Waygu brisket. That must be the name of all their cows because there was nothing tender fatty or delicious about this. It was dry, VERY chewy and definitely needed sauce to be enjoyed. Nothing good about this meat by itself which I expect from good BBQ. Sides were decent size but beans had a different, harsh flavor that was not pleasant. Potato salad was ok flavor but dry as well. Not bad, but not what I like in potato salad. We decided not to spend more money and be disappointed in a dessert. read more

This is our second time visiting from out of town and it was just as delicious as the first time. Everyone loved what they got, including the pastrami, ribs, and sweet potato fries. Our server Justin was so on top of everything with our big party and incredibly friendly. The ambience is of your typical barbecue place, but clean and lots of booth and table seating. Good for big parties or small. read more

Seen the owner on food network figured why not give it a try. The Miami wasn't to bad with plenty of ham and pulled pork. The potato salad was creamy but really had no flavoring. The Austin was really good. The brisket was nice and moist and had a really good smoke ring and the flavor matched. The sweet potato fries were cold when they delivered the plate but before anything could be said a fresh plate of hot crispy sweet potato fries came out and those were really good. The cold ones yeah those were not eaten. April the bar tender was super friendly and made sure everything was up to par. read more

Our team made this a dinner stop after one of our softball games. We had a large party but we were still seated fairly quickly. Our server was a nice young lady who we learned attended the same college as our girls. As for the food, I was born and raised in KC and live in STL, and although this bbq was slightly different than what I am used to, I really enjoyed it. I ordered the turkey platter with fried okra and the poblano creme brulee corn. The turkey wasn't very smoky but it had good seasoning on it and was moist. It didn't dry out even when reheated the next day. I absolutely loved the corn. It was probably my favorite. You would enjoy it if you are ok with a sweet and savory corn. My husband and daughter had the wings. One had the hot buffalo and the other the spicy teriyaki. They both liked them but wish they had more spice to them. My husband also had the tamales which he enjoyed. He liked how well the brisket chili and onions paired with the tamales. My other daughter had the ribs with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. She felt like her ribs were too sweet. She thought that if they had a spicy bbq sauce it would have helped but their sauce is pretty sweet as well. We only noticed there was 1 bbq sauce choice. We didn't have any issues with our service but some of the people in our party had issues with their orders. Our server did get best to get everything fixed for them. Overall, everything was pretty good. read more

Heard that Gettin Basted had a breakfast menu and decided to give it a try! It was amazing! My fav (surprisingly) were the cheesy grits. Best grits I have had! Great flavor! Everything was amazing and they gave big portions! Not a lot of people know they have breakfast so it wasn't busy at all. Our server was great and made sure we enjoyed our food! When we visit Branson again, we will be back!!! read more

OH MY GOODNESS the BBQ was falling off the bone here and the sauce...? Absolutely delicious! Lots of choices too. Big menu. The Mac n Cheese was super yummy.

You'll get an okay meal here. The food did not deliver. So many people recommended this place, so we were disappointed. Ribs and chicken were dry. The sides had no flavor and tasted like they sat out for a while. If you order anything, get the cheese curds. The sauce they came with was good. It had a funky smell inside the building, so be prepared for that. My husband did say the bathrooms were worse. Service was great. read more

Enjoyed dinner here after a busy day of hiking. The restaurant was crowded but I was able to sit immediately at the bar. The bartender was busy but very pleasant and attentive. The food really hit the spot. I got the moink with a side of veggies and I subbed sweet potato waffle fries for regular fries which was a good move. Everything was delicious and it wasn't slathered in BBQ sauce although you could if you wanted. The pulled pork was tender and not fatty. The veggies were over seasoned for me and nothing special but overall the meal hit the spot and I would go back! read more

Betty is the best server we've had in this vacation. She took extra time to explain the menu, make recommendations and make us feel at home. All the BBQ is so good here. We had burnt ends on a bun and pulled pork. Don't skip the fresh made potato chips. And the drink selection had some surprises too. If I am in Missouri again I'm coming here for the food. Portions are huge and prices are fair. Come hungry or be prepared to share. read more

Don't let the gimmicky exterior keep you from this amazing find! Everything was amazing. The burgers are definitely large enough to share. We got the Burnt Ends Burger and Moink Burger and they were both phenomenal. They're large but not too large that you can't reasonably bite into them. Definitely come here at least once if you're in Branson! read more

Absolutely PHENOMENAL food. Server was nice and friendly and made sure we had everything. Was very busy when we went but we only had to wait about 15 minutes. It's casual and busy inside and there were lots of families with kids. The Basted Mac was divine with yummy savory pork belly on top. The sweet potato fries were good but the onion straws stole the show for me! The bologna was good and rich tasting- perfect with the sweet BBQ. Husband loved the Nashville hot- although it wasn't as spicy as he expected. The thick bacon on top really added to it! All over 10/10 and will be back if we are in town again :) read more

Was blown away just walking in. There were awards all over the walls. It was Friday night but only had to wait about 10 minutes, which was a surprise. Our waiter (Joshua) was exceptional in helping us decide what would best satisfy our desires. As a table we had ribs, burnt ends, and a waygu burger. The burger was excellent, but the generous portion of burnt ends was the winner. They were moist and tender, but not fattty. They had just a little texture to them with just enough sauce to taste like meat candy. The ribs were very tasty but on the dry side (could have been because it was later at night). There was only one sauce on the table which means they don't really expect you to mess with what's been served very much. It was slightly sweet and smokey (ok, I did taste it) but none of us used it at all. All the sides were very tasty, expecially yhr corn brulee and sweet potatoe casserole. Despite the ribs (which I'll give another chance), we'll definitely be back. read more

The food was so good that calling it 'delicious' almost feels like an understatement. I'd planned to visit once, but now I'm considering relocating just to be closer to this restaurant. The pork steak was so tender it practically dissolved on contact, the brisket was juicy and packed with flavor, and the banana pudding was the kind of dessert that makes you question every other banana pudding you've ever had. Add in outstanding service, and you've got a place that's well worth the trip--and maybe a change of address. read more

Although highly recommended by 2 local patrons, our recent dinner visit to Gettin' Basted was not terrible, but also not memorable! This BBQ spot decor was very much a flex as it showcased their awards, trophies and accolades all over the walls and ceiling. The place looked pretty well kept but it had an average BBQ joint feel. We rolled in around 7 PM famished from a day under the sun and having skipped lunch after a late breakfast at 11. My son and I shared the ribs and chicken plate along with a side of smoked ham, pairing it with mac and cheese, baked beans, and cream corn brûlée. I'd rate the food a mediocre 2.5 stars, and here's why: everything arrived in record time but tepid--seriously, who serves BBQ lukewarm? I know BBQ can't be cooked to order, but there's got to be a way to keep it hot. Some places manage just fine! The ribs and chicken were decent enough--tender and seasoned well enough to be palatable. The smoked ham leaned a bit salty but still packed a nice punch. The mac and cheese? Let's just say it was very much giving Kraft from a box! And while the baked beans had potential with a variety of beans, the tomato flavor was way too dominant! The cream corn would've likely been a hit if it had been served hot, but alas, it was not to be. As for the sweet tea? It was weak to the point of being laughable--like sipping on tea that had soaked in ice for hours. On the bright side, the service was quick and friendly. Our server, Crystal, was attentive, hustling between multiple tables. She even offered to replace my food after I mentioned its temperature. I appreciated the offer, but my stomach told me to decline since I was too hungry to wait any longer. Despite her warmth and the swift service, the uninspired food soured the experience a bit. But overall, thanks to our lovely server and the speed at which we were served, I'd bump my score from a 2.5 to a respectable 3.5! read more

We chose this place based on the reviews. Casual restaurant with photos and awards throughout. We were here in the late afternoon, so it wasn't busy. Got seated right away. Food was quick. The BBQ sauce was very tasty, as well as the pickles. I enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich, but the onion straws were just too greasy. My husband liked his Waygu brisket- but said it wasn't the best he's had. His fries were overly greasy as well. It's a good BBQ joint, just didn't turn out to be one of our favorites. Still would give it a 3.5/5. read more

We are from Indiana and we travel to Branson for our anniversary every year. We make a point to try new restaurants during our visit. Hands Down this place Topped the chart. My husband got the Porker and I had the Burnt end burger , the absolute BEST BBQ we have ever tasted. So when you visit Branson stop by Gettin' Basted. I promise ,YOU will not be disappointed. April was our server and she knew how to sell the menu she was super. Oh and let's not forget dessert. The Cobbler of the day was Blackberry cobbler with a shareable scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was lip smackin' y'all. The place was decorated with awards displaying the love for Bbq.

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Compared this place to Famous Dave's and it blows it out of the water. Only thing im missing here is the cornbread muffins!!! Service was very tentative and helpful. Ordered the blackout sandwich and 1/2 lb of lean brisket aswell as a side of Mac n cheese. Everything was very very good. Only thing I had a little bit of an issue with was the sausage was barely luke warm. I dont know if this is normal or not bc it was still good but I would have preferred it be hot! Building was a nice size and pretty clean. The bathrooms need better taken care of tho. read more

My family had the most amazing meal here 4th of July weekend. We tried the bbq wings as an appetizer and those were AMAZING! You have to get them. Then we got the Hall of Famer family meal so we could try a bit of everything and we enjoyed every piece we got. We tried Brisket, chicken, turkey, pork steak, ham, burnt ends, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, onion straws, and sweet potato fries. I mean it when I say everything was delicious, super tender, juicy, and flavorful. We went over prime lunch hour and didn't have to wait at all. The service was fantastic and we got our food quick. There's good parking and the bathrooms are clean! We would definitely visit again read more

I always get a full lb of their chicken wings with honey bbq so I have leftovers. My friend said the ribs are excellent too!

We were told this was the best barbecue joint in Branson, Missouri. Honestly, I thought this rated three stars but my wife said they were better than that. Definitely not five star barbecue joint. Please don't get me wrong. The barbecue here is respectable. Lots of award winning BBQ. If you follow me, you'll notice that I eat a lot of different barbecue and a lot of different barbecue joints. Gettin Basted was mediocre to good. Maybe it's good for Missouri, but in Texas.... The service was good. Our waiter was a very energetic guy from the Ukraine, he was good The restaurant was a typical barbecue joint. Nothing really special, or bad here. If you're looking for some decent barbecue, this is not a bad place read more

Walked in on a Friday afternoon. Was immediately sat down. After looking over menu, we both decided on sandwiches. Best decision ever! They're chopped and sliced beef on their burgers are so juicy and tender. Their french fries are very crispy and have a distinct taste, little sweet. Add the barbecue sauce and you have your sweet-and-sour delectable food. As you look around, you will see tons of BBQ awards For their amazing BBQ. I can see how they're winning tons of awards. Being from Texas, we know our barbecue. And I'd say this is one of the best! The food came out hot and very fresh. Tons of food, so bring your appetite. The server was very attentive and friendly. Gave us tons of recommendations. Since we had never been here. Ended up taking half of our sandwiches with us. It was so much. We will be back!! read more

I was very pleased with the burnt ends. The brisket wasn't bad either, but the burnt ends were better. I wouldn't give it a 4 stars for a few reasons. The meat was cooked very well with good tenderness. The flavor profile is the part I'm a little disappointed with...but it's hard to explain. When I go to BBQ joints I look for a uniqueness to separate them from the others. While BBQ sauce is great is what a lot of people point to, the meat flavor is just as important. The meat flavor was good but the quality of the meat and how it was cooked was better. I would've have liked to see a unique flavor profile that I could attribute to Gettin' Basted--as an establishment--to give it a higher rating. BBQ joints that make an impact on me are the ones who nail and stick to their style. This is usually a specific flavor profile that is unique, specific, and consistent in repetition and consistently separating themselves from the rest. The service was 10/10 I forgot his name but he said he was from Kazakhstan. We came here after Sight and Sound on my mom's birthday and he made our dining experience pleasant and memorable. It's not a bad joint by any means and most likely the best BBQ in Branson. I will return. read more
