Drove over an hour last Saturday (06/20/26) to see him and we were SO disappointed. We brought 4 family members who had never been and had talked this all up so much. Ugh. The speakers or sound system were HORRIBLE. We couldn't understand a word Clay sang or spoke. And as good as the fiddler and (forgot what instrument the other person was playing,) it was just TOO much for a small venue. Clay by himSelf is perfect. Sadly we left after being there 10 minutes. What a bummer. Hopefully they get that sound system figured out. It was ear crunching loud this time too. I know it's usually loud but this was over the top. And, these comments come from a guitarist and drummer. Bartender had no interest in serving us and appeared put out. Yes, I know it's packed and it's summer but... Will try again next year and hope for better. Thanks

I also love that the restaurant is located inside an old historic hotel, which gives it such a cool atmosphere -- and maybe even a few ghost stories. Overall, it is a great spot with good food, great service, and a fun historic feel. I definitely recommend checking it out.

The poutine was fabulous. The fry coating was crisp and tasty and the gravy was full of flavor. The Reuben sandwich is outstanding! The way they cut that corned beef was nothing short of magic. An egg on there? What? I've never heard of such a thing, but yes please. And I had the brûlée corn; which I may need to learn how to replicate because I've never seen this on any menu in Chicago, but it's too far to travel as often as I'll be thinking about that dish! The old fashions were smooth! Went with vanilla and loved the subtle flavors. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was a delightful mix of old school pub/English castle. All of it was just what I was hoping to find. Food off the beaten path that deserves a huge shout out. In a town of bland flavors, this place shines like a real gem!

We came early for the Live & Collective Soul concert and tailgated in the parking lot. We started to walk to the venue at 555p for a 6p start. We weren't too worried since we had reserved floor seats. After you go through security, they check your bags. You need a small clutch or a clear bag and your refillable water bottle needs to be squeezable so leave your metal ones at home. When you stand at the top, you can see the Ozarks behind the stage and it's picture perfect. We walked down to our seats and after the opening band, we were offered pit wristbands so we gladly made our way to the pit. There was a drunk man who was bumping everyone and trying to get handsy on all the women, including some minors. He had tried to grab the lady behind us but her husband stopped him. He then moved behind me so the hubs became my buffer but the guy kept grabbing my hubs. The hubs yelled at him to go away and since the hubs yelled loud enough over the band, security heard him and escorted the man away since he was such a problem to everyone. Leaving was so easy and simple. It appears they can handle smaller crowds simply, but I heard about the Post Malone & Jelly Roll concert and am so glad we didn't experience that.

What a beautiful Amphitheatre! Walking in from parking the Ozark mountains frame the venue. You…read morecan walk or take a tram to and from the parking lots. The tram crew made the ride fun and you get an immediate taste of true Ozark hospitality. After getting off the tram, I'm not gonna lie, it's a little confusing in where to go. There is a vendor space with food trucks, retail vendors and some non profits, oh and a sick DJ. Very party atmosphere. We pre-bought a knock of tee short in the parking lot, and then an official shirt at the tee shirt booth. We found the path into the theater, use the QR code to get free wifi, as service is a little sketch. Have your electronic tickets ready! Once in, the space is amazing and well designed. The bathroom is the nicest I have ever seen at a large venue. There is a really pretty painting on the ceiling. The grass seating is large and nice, probably the best view. We sat down on the floor, there is no slope so hopefully you aren't behind the Jolly green Giant or a guy with a 10 gallon hat. We watched the giant screens a lot. The seating is sloped and you can rent chairs to sit in. This will be my choice if we come to a show here again. Come prepared or prepared to spend some money. $12 for two waters. Ouch! You can bring a bottle in with you. Next, I had ear plugs, but needed a set for my son. There were no free ones at guest services or first aid. Most venues have them. Soooo, $40 I bought some new fancy noise canceling ear plugs. Double ouch. The kicker is I got all the way back down to my seats and the box was empty. I went all the way back up the hill, the booth was closed, Creed was no playing, and I was getting more mad. I found someone to help me and they got me a sealed package. The concert was incredible! Leaving, not so good. We walked maybe a mile back to our car, the trams filled up fast and we didn't want to wait. Oh, but waiting we did. In the parking lot for 1.5 hours. Note to oneself, leave before the encore or tailgate in the parking lot. Three stars for the parking lot and cost of things. Five stars for the physical venue and Midwest Friendly staff. I'm sure we'll be back with a better game plan.

We arrived a bit early for our 10am reservation and enjoyed the scenery while waiting. I also enjoyed the interior decor that included Native American artwork and artifacts. Large windows framed the view and added so much to making our dining experience bright and uplifting. The staff were very nice and professional but we were a little confused about a wait after check-in despite having a reservation. I think maybe they were staggering arrivals to manage the buffet crowd... if that was indeed the case, a quick explanation would have been helpful. Overall it was a lovely experience.

When making our 8:00 PM reservation in the Atrium, we were required to pay a $500 deposit. We arrived on time but were not seated until nearly 9:00 PM. One of the main reasons we reserved the Atrium was to enjoy the sunset views, but because our table was not ready, we completely missed the sunset. Once seated, the service remained very slow, and our food arrived only lukewarm. For a restaurant with Osage's reputation and pricing, we expected much better execution and attention to timing. The bright spot of the evening was our server, Christian. He was cheerful, professional, and thorough in explaining the menu and answering our questions. His positive attitude helped make the best of a disappointing situation. Overall, I would not recommend reserving the Atrium if your dining experience depends on being seated at your reservation time. Based on our experience, there appeared to be no guarantee of timely seating or food quality despite the substantial deposit requirement

This review is going to be on the longer side so let me just get this out of the way up front, if…read moreyou're questioning whether to stay here, do it, no questions asked. My husband and I go on little mini vacations every six months or so without the kids and this year we decided to go to Branson. After planning a trip to this exact hotel about two years ago and having to cancel because of circumstances outside of our control we decided to rebook here since we were so excited about it the first time. I will tell you if you book through Expedia make sure you call to follow up with them to make sure you have all of the information you need to get into the building if you are going to get there late at night. When you get there you are greeted by the most charming street and when you walk in it feels like you are a part of a hallmark movie. The environment itself brought me so much joy. We arrived around 10:30 at night and it was quiet. We went up to our room and it was small but this is a historic building with a lot of character so unless you are planning on spending most of your trip in your room this is/was a non issue for us. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean and they had everything we could have wanted and needed. I did read some reviews about the water temperature/ temperature of the rooms. I will say there was no control for the central air/heat in our room that we noted BUT THAT BEING SAID it was comfortable the entire time we were there. There was also a ceiling fan that we could control via remote control that kept it the perfect temperature for us the entire time. We had a room that looked out onto the Main Street below us and the old railroad tracks next door and it was so pleasant after a long day to be able to watch the people below. Now that we've gone over the room, let's talk about the customer service. It has been so so long since I have stayed in a place that has had such exceptional customer service. John made sure we had everything we needed and more, making sure every time we walked by the front desk that we didn't need anything. Not only did he make sure our check in and stay was seamless, it really seemed like he cared about our trips overall experience. Again, it is a smaller place so by the end of our trip it felt like he knew us and we knew him. He made sure we were happy, fed and that our time there was special. Whether that be making sure we had chairs to sit on at the lake we were planning on spending a day at, to a place to sit for the Fourth of July fireworks with the perfect view, to giving his name at other establishments near by so we were taken care of. I will say to his praise as well even places we went to and mentioned where we were staying had nothing but the absolute kindest things to say about him and what a great place it was. Now, one of my favorite things, the food. There is a restaurant located inside of the inn, this is where most of the hustle and bustle comes from during the day and really truly brings the place alive. The staff were excellent, so personable and just fun. The food was fantastic and as a self certified food snob I was never disappointed. At one point I looked at my husband and said this is the first time in a while I have felt like the food is worth the hype. We went into the bar in the afternoons and had appetizers and drinks and were greeted with the same friendly face behind the bar each time(I wish I had gotten his name but he was wonderful - if you go tell him I said hi!). We tried several appetizers from the nachos to the pretzel and the fish and chips entree and everything left us happy and satisfied. The drinks were always good and again the service here is exceptional.The location is pretty central in hollister. We had everything we needed within walkable distance from the inn. At one point I told my husband I preferred hollister over Branson. We had initially gone for all of the touristy stuff Branson had to offer. We spent a good day there doing the titanic museum and the mountain coaster, but I think both of us preferred the slowness and more personable feeling hollister had to offer. The other business along the strip were also so welcoming and beautiful and just treated you with the same openness as family. I really wish I could describe to you just how much I loved it here but the previous statements will have to hold to be true. I have not been so sad to leave a place in a long time and we will be back many times over.
