We got seated right away on a Sunday for lunch. Our waitress was friendly and on top of things. The food didn't take too long to come out. The kids shared the chicken strips meal with mac and cheese and fries. Their dishes were all really good. I had a side salad with honey mustard. It was fresh and simple. My husband got a hero sandwich and it was very small. The flavor was fine but not amazing. We got potatoes with it and those are really good. Our friends with us enjoyed the fish and it was a ton of food but didn't like the strawberry salad at all. So it seems like some things are better than others and the serving sizes are very off. read more

Nope. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came here on a Friday night and it was not very crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated right away and waited about fifteen minutes for a waitress to come. The food all looked wonderful by picture and description on the menu, but was mediocre when delivered. The fried green tomatoes were the star of the show for us. Everything else was not very flavorful. The macaroni and cheese was just not good. My toddler wouldn't touch it and after a taste on my own plate I quickly could see why. It is more like a flavorless mush. We had asked for condiments after our food came that never were delivered and we waited a very long time again for boxes and a bill. We had to ask other staff to find our waitress at the end. Again, not very crowded and we waited significant time periods between service. Between the service and the food this is a spot I would totally skip for a meal if visiting Branson. read more

We stopped by here for lunch while in town, 3/5 stars. The onion rings and ranch were honestly the best part of the meal, both were really good. The rest of the food was a little over seasoned for our taste and kind of took away from it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was decent overall, but the food was hit or miss for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the worst place we have been in Branson. We got seated fast and the waitress was nice. However, they were out of all of the beers we wanted. We also had a long wait for drinks. Food came out quickly, but was lukewarm and terrible. The ads in town say it's the best onion rings in town, and that is sad. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Hero's Family Restaurant is themed on first responders & military (past present and future)! Gotta love a theme like that![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sign out front grabbed our attention when it said "best onion rings in Missouri" & they weren't kidding! Get them! Drinks were good, tap selection was great! Flight of 4 surprise taps was great! Our waitress Faren was amazing and helped us with our questions and deciding what we wanted. So glad we stopped here and had some drinks and grub! read more

Service was fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Beer was great. They had only been open for 15 minutes when we arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ladies room had dried soap foam on the counter and the floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Here's the kicker. We went to try the BEST onion rings in Branson. I LOVE onion rings! Needless to say - the looked nothing like the billboards in town. They are served on a vertical stand. They got cold and greasy FAST. At $1.00 per onion rings they are NOT worth it. Really? For 13.99 we got 14 onion rings. If you love onion rings - got to Cheesy Jane's in San Antonio. read more

Brittaney was a phenomenal bar tender! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was chill, but nice still.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food... yall! Don't skip the fried green tomatoes... you'll order another round.

Our poor waitress was awesome, she kept our drinks filled while we waited and waited for our food. My husband ordered the nachos made with crispy wontons, he said the wontons were so salty they were inedible and the meat on them had no flavor. Our poor waitress Tasher was able to get them taken off our bill. I was so looking forward to the fried green tomato BLT, because I had one in Florida at a small restaurant in the spring, that was so good, this one was super disappointing, instead of toasting the bread it was very thick cut bread that was fried on the grill top, which made it greasy and inedible, our neighbors across the way said the onion rings were awful too, I will say in their defense that the kitchen was short staffed, but the cooks that they had must have been super overwhelmed and has no heart to cook appetizing food. Save yourself the trouble. read more

Great service.

Mine was lightly dusted and fried to perfection. The coleslaw was the surprise as It tastes like it has some type of seafood in it. The Mac & cheese tasted baked instead of just creamy wet. And we both ate with the side salad and soda for $50. Good prices good food and nicely located in a touristy area with lots to do and see within walking distance. read more

Ate here with a group of about 8 that were in town for a weekend. Some in the group wanted a steak and this place was chosen. Seated quickly and service arrived in a timely manner. I don't recall what everyone had. I had a mushroom Swiss burger with fries. I have to day it was pretty good. Fries crisp and tasty, burger had a good amount of mushrooms on top of the burger. Some of our group ate appetizers, others had a burger. This place, on that Saturday evening, offered 2 steak options. One was a NY Strip, the other choice was a 12 oz. ribeye for a price of around $42. When the steak was set down in front of the person who ordered it, it did not look like a $42 steak. I've seen thicker breakfast steaks. There was a lot of gristle in it, our friend had trouble cutting it because it wasn't tender. In the end about half was edible. One person didn't get their vegetable side. All in all it was kind of a letdown. read more

Yelp reviews were just okay, but the only reason we chose this restaurant was because it was right across from the theater we had tickets for. Service wasn't terrible, the food wasn't terrible and the dining room wasn't terrible. But, nothing really stood out. I'm not sure how management is supposed to contend with the roller coaster of traffic (the inevitable deluges), given there must be a lot of other patrons with the same strategy for dinner that we had. We definitely arrived in the middle of high traffic, so patience was necessary. I ordered the strawberry salad with shrimp, which was pretty good. I liked the ranch dressing a lot (instead of the vinaigrette that is standard). Staff really tried, no doubt. I'm not sure if we would return, but we probably would at a time that wasn't so busy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great friendly service and atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the school teachers strawberry salad and it was excellent!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and atmosphere - our waitress Sharon was phenomenal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She spent so much time and was a really sweet person.

Everything was so good! Even my grumpy, picky husband loved this place. He had a Reuben with fries - I had the Swiss, bacon, egg burger with side of Mac n cheese. We have been eating here for 3 days and were blessed today with something to write about. Service was outstanding and we did not have any wait for service, seating nor food, which was delivered really quickly! I am so grateful and happy we spotted Heroes and stopped!!! read more

Food was pretty good! My pork chops were yummy and flavorful and the Brussels sprouts were actually delicious! Can you believe that?! I don't even like Brussel sprouts! Staff was also incredibly kind and friendly. Very welcoming of families with children too! read more

We stopped by Heroes an hour before they closed and they were great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The way they give tribute to Military and Public Service workers is really admirable and makes for really great and humbling ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dereck was our server and he was really friendly.

I had the shrimp and roasted brussell sprouts which was very good and my kids had the wings which they enjoyed. We were all pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of the food and I say this because [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is a little off putting. When we walked in, I almost walked right back out. It seemed it was only half updated and looked like it desperately needed to be cleaned.. the carpets were pretty dirty and the tables and chairs had an outdated look and sticky feeling to them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great-- fast and friendly. read more

Came here with a couple Army Veterans. Not hungry but had to check this place out. We all got a round of draft beers, fried green tomatoes, stuffed mushrooms and french fries. Everything was great, the waitress was extremely friendly and the manager, who we later meet, went out of his way to make our visit special. I won't share what he did publicly, but our small party appreciated it. If you respect some of America's finest, this is a must stop if in the area. Highly recommend, I'll be back. read more

My family and I had an all around great experience at Heros this evening. We were scrambling to find a dinner spot before our show. Our server, Kylie, overheard us discussing being in a hurry and assured us that she would take care of us. She was attentive as were other staff members. The pork chop was great and my husband said his salmon was better than the seafood restaurant we went to the night before. We made it to our show with five minutes to spare! read more

Truly recognizes veterans, teachers, civil, servants, first responders as heroes. The pork chop was a tad on the well done side but quite tasty. Nice accompaniment of potatoes and gravy. Kitchen easily accommodated exchange of sides. Salmon was perfect ( glaze on side), b sprouts were superb. Brian was our bartender/server made us feel very welcome and comfortable as did the other staff who stopped to visit during our stay. read more

Overall ok experience first time ever being to a heroes and don't think I will be going back. Was seated quickly then waited 10 minutes to get service, next we ordered our food and drinks and food came in a reasonable amount of time the beer showed up after the food I had to go see the bartender to see what the issue was. The theme of this restaurant is awesome all a tribute to service members and first responders. Only went here because it was next to titanic museum but recommend going somewhere else. read more

It's clear like much of Branson, this place was themed to get in tourists because the salute to heroes is the only thing good going for it. We got there at 4:15 on a Saturday and thought maybe it wasn't just because of the time. Narrator voice: we were wrong. We were seated right under a vent so half our party was icicles by the time we left. Since we were under a vent, the poutine got cold quickly, I had the Preemptive Strike burger and my stepson had the same. We both agreed it was meh. Nothing stood out with the flavor. The burger I had at Freddy's today was more flavorful. The fries were the best thing I had. I tried my husband's fried chicken and it was greasy and not flavorful. He also had chicken wings, which were meaty, but that was their only selling point. read more

We visited Heroes for the first time for dinner tonight. We loved the over arching theme of honoring our heroes which was reflected in the decor and menu item names. Our server was nice. We ordered the pick 4 beer flight to start. We enjoyed the variety and ability to try more without committing to a full glass. For our entrees we ordered the 5-Alarm Ozark Hot, and Anchors Aweigh Shrimp and Grits. Both completely blew us away! The 5-Alarm was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, while the shrimp and grits were perfectly cheesy and paired with a delicious sweet sauce. We give this place the absolute most praise, and look forward to trying more. read more

I have to give this restaurant 4 stars per the students, they stated that there's always room for improvement. However, the tiger cake was a 5, custom was excellent!! The service was flawless being that we had a group of about 75. Each plate that was served had hot fries and melted cheese strings from their mouths. Nooo complaints from this Elite YELPER but remember when I'm with a group I rate according to feed back from them. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The best thing about this place was the ambience and the staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was decorated perfectly from the light fixtures to the wall adornments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was friendly and very attentive. We ate a late lunch around 3:00 pm. The food, however, not worth the price we paid. Out of the food we ordered, the best tasting items were the fried pickles and fried shrimp. The rib meat did not taste fresh but just BBQ sauce smattered on it. The Mac n Cheese (which we specifically came for because of a previous review,) was super disappointing. It was mushy. The noodles were not firm at all and you almost couldn't tell where the noodles stopped and the cheeses took over. The shrimp were tasty and not fishy tasting. The pickles were thinly sliced and not greasy. The fries were seasoned well and not greasy. The wild rice pilaf was not sticky and had a good flavor. The fried cobette looked so good, but the coating was rather flavorless. Maybe we came at the wrong time of day, but I'd probably not come back because of the prices and the taste of the food. The staff... they were fun and attentive. read more
