We had such a great experience here! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the servers were so friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the live singer taking requests made the evening extra fun. It happened to be my son's birthday, and the singer even did a "short", version of "Happy Birthday." There were eight of us, and we were seated quickly. The menu offered a wide variety of options. I noticed a sign about the "worst salad ever," and while it made me hesitate for a second, the story behind it was hilarious--and the salad I ordered was actually pretty darn good! Portions were generous; most of us ended up taking home half of our meals. I would definitely return. Great food, great staff, and a great time! read more

Atmosphere is typical Branson tourist. Very clean and comfortable. Service was good but I only saw two wait persons working. Our wait person was running her butt off and did a great job. Food was acceptable but not great. I had a BLT and they use pork belly rather than bacon. I did not really care for it, but it was OK. The servings were large. read more

Great, down home feeling restaurant that served good food at a reasonable cost. The hamburger and tenderloin sandwich were both cooked as asked, and the server did a great job. We really enjoyed the live singer as well. Nice stop! read more

Local Flavor, Branson, MO, was recommended to me from a local person. Interesting restaurant that focus on southern foods. Many are fried. The onion rings were extremely good. Buy them if you go there. I am happy I ordered a mixed salad with baked chicken strips. My wife ordered fried green tomatoes but hardly ate any. I tried one but it had a heavy oil taste. The restaurant was crowded with eaters. Southern food here which has many fried selections. We rarely eat fried foods except French fries. No knock on Local's, fried foods are not our style. They do have great looking hamburgers. I noticed many were eaten by the crowd. Waitress was excellent. Very attentive. Our meals came out quick. Neat southern ambiance. Plenty of parking. Take credit cards. If you like fried food, you will enjoy Local's. . read more

They had the best sweet tea with black berry. It was sooo delicious! We enjoyed all the food. Love the diner or home cooked meals! It had a homey feeling. The peanut butter pie was wonderful! The service was just average, the waitress just seemed annoyed. read more

It has the feel of a "country farmhouse" that feels more like a home than a typical tourist restaurant. It's cozy and bustling, featuring live music that provides a lively backdrop to the meal. Because it's a favorite for both locals and visitors, there was a wait, but the friendly service makes it worth it. read more

We came here today for dinner. We called for reservations and when got there got seated right away. Place was crowded and there was a live singer. I got fish plate- everything was tasty except the hash puppies. Husband got the carnivore burger and said it was very flavorful, but was not fan of the fries. Kid 1 got grilled cheese and said it was good. k Kid 2 got cheeseburger, but let's be honest, she just wanted the fries and enjoyed those very much. Our server was lovely and very helpful. read more

Amazing spot right in the heart of Branson and one this celiac gal was super excited to try! I found this spot through my find me gluten free app. They had a dedicated fryer for the fried gluten free items.... Say what!! We all enjoyed our meal and will make this a normal stop for our Branson adventures! Oh.... And they have live music in the evenings. Starting at 5 I do believe! Thanks Local Flavor for bringing good home cooking to Branson! read more

Breaded pork tenderloins have always been my favorite sandwich. I've had them in many places over 70 years but none better than this one. If you too are a lover of the tenderloin or have never had one in your life. Put a pin in the map for Local Flavor Branson, MO. Best ever, you won't regret it. Everything on the menu is excellent. read more

This place was phenomenal! We've been to Branson twice as a family and, to be honest, I haven't been super impressed with the food. Tons of options but nothing really tasty. Until tonight! We called tonight to see if they could fit in our party of 12. She told us she could get us in in an hour and a half (pretty darn impressive), but she called back about 20 minutes later and said she could get us right in! They sat our crew of crazy kids and crazy adults immediately and the friendliness of the staff and the quaintness of the decor and live music, we knew we were in for a treat. We got a ton of food -- apps, entrees, and desserts -- and everything was absolutely delicious. Fried green tomatoes were our favorite. The staff was also SUPER attentive, food came out fast and correctly, and they kept us happy the whole time. Would recommend this place to anyone. We'll be back! read more

Great food! Love the atmosphere! The band was really good! Our waitress was very friendly, just slightly busy with a bigger table. We had the fried chicken and chicken bites. read more

Did not know where to go for a home cooked meal. Found this small place among busy places and hunny had salad and I had the salmon dinner. Just the right servings. Not bad prices compared to other restaurants that were known by name. We would come again! Staff was kind and friendly read more

We loved 'Local Flavor' and are so glad we stumbled across it! We ate at a nearby restaurant the day prior and struggled to eat the meal. We're worried this would be another tourist trap with frozen food. Completely the opposite! We immediately loved the vibe by just looking at their outdoor/indoor signs. They definitely have a sense of humor with a side of sarcasm and we loved it! The atmosphere was nice - very homey. The owner was working the host stand and all over the walls and napkin holders are family pictures and drawings from (presumed grandkids). You immediately feel like you're being welcoming into someone's home in the best way. Service was great and the food was even better! We got 3 chicken fried steaks and they were hand breaded with lots of flavor. The cream corn was delicious! We ended with the cheesecake which was similar to how I would imagine a cheesecake pie. It was SO GOOD! We are big cheesecake fans and while this was different than expected, we loved it! Only thing that could have made this dinner better....adding Mac and cheese to the menu :P Great dinner and will definitely be back! read more

Restaurant was closed for our 4 day visit. It was highly recommended and we tried to call and visit several times without success!! Very disappointing that there was no sign or phone message explaining their situation. I should have checked Facebook instead of going on personal recommendations from our hotel. read more

Just finished dining at Local Flavor and it was extremely good. All the servers were so pleasant and seemed to enjoy being there! We had the jelly fried Brussel sprouts and tenderloin diner with mashed potatoes and gravy which were perfect. On top of all that the atmosphere of this place was so well done and gives you an "at home" feeling! Lastly we called over Michelle, the owner, to let her know how pleasant everything was and now we know why her employees, food and atmosphere were so good because they resemble her. Great job!!! We will stop here again even before we leave the area. read more

Food was excellent! Chicken fried chicken sandwich with french fries was so tender you scarcely head to chew!!! Ok that is an exaggeration, but it was incredible. The french fries were to be bragged about too. -Soft on the inside nice crisp crunchy bite on the outside! We also ordered the Ozark Carnivore Fries...as a meal. They are fries topped with ground bison, elk, wild, boar, and beef, then white queso and pickled jalapeños. The was a huge serving we barely made a dent. Delicious... NOT "gamey"... I am not usually to fond of bison, elk, or wild anything. The French fries even held under the load... meaning they were cooked well to hold the crunch. ... eventually they got soft. But they were great. Highly recommend. Seriously wish we had stopped here sooner so we could come try more on the menu. read more

Absolutely delicious! We would have never ordered a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich if we hadn't read the review from someone else who said he's eaten Pork Tenderloin for 70 years and this was the best he had ever had. Everything we had was delicious from the pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, & green tomatoes which we halved all 3 and were stuffed. read more

This family owned restaurant is located on the strip. The owner was way super nice and friendly. We loved hearing his story of how God led his wife and him to Branson. They have a real heart to help others and to share the gospel. The restaurant has a nice country ambiance. The workers were friendly. The food has a southern country taste. The food was served fresh and hot. We got our order to go, and they had everything we needed in the bag for us. read more

Came into this restaurant unsure how good it would be and we were pleasantly surprised! I tried fried green tomatoes for the first time and absolutely loved them, the fried okra was perfectly moist, and the fries tasted like they were made in house. The burgers are every bit as good as they say it is, bragging rights are definitely earned: juicy meat, fresh toppings, and a nice warm brioche encasing all the flavor. The staff were pleasant and they filled our drinks up reasonably quick, even the food came out fast for how busy this place was. This restaurant is perfect for family dinners and children who tend to be restless when waiting, they provide bean bag toss and wall ring toss outside for waits when the restaurant is packed. I like that they have all kinds of things hung on the wall, it's like entertainment for your eyes, it's giving cracker barrel decor vibes. read more

Food was fresh, and was really good. Service was quick, and the staff are very friendly from the moment you walk in the door. Only negative was the chicken salad sandwich, all you tasted was mayonnaise. We had a variety of the menu, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, house made spiral chips, frito pie, mushroom burger, fried rice bowl, (can't remember the exact name) a junk bowl, & chicken salad sandwich. We really enjoyed all of it but the one. read more

Charming atmosphere and good service. The onion rings were fantastic. Highly recommend. Had the classic cheese burger. Burgers were big. We could only eat half and should have split. Very nice accessible bathroom was really appreciated since one person was in a wheelchair but it was a little difficult getting into the restaurant with uneven ramp and thick thresholds. read more

Despite this being the off-season in Branson, MO, the restaurant was nearly full. There was an entertainer singing various songs. We chose this restaurant because it was local and not a chain. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. There are some great home-cooking items to choose from. I went with the hamburger steak, fried okra, and mashed potatoes and dark gravy. Everything tasted great and the portion size was perfect. We topped it off with a slice of chocolate crème pie. Yummy! Highly recommended and we'll be back! read more

Going to Branson for a long weekend with 6 other family members (7 total)! My friend recommended this place for good home cooking food. The food was wonderful, the choices diverse. And our server, Ashley Beth, was just wonderful. She kept our drinks refilled and asking if we needed anything. The place was decorated with lots of signs, photos, knick_knacks of all sizes. There was even a Ford tailgate on the wall. Such a fun place. Gian cardboard cut out of Elf, (Will Farrell). We had already gotten a group photo by Ashley Beth, but we wanted a photo with Elf. Ashley Beth was working another table so another server offered to take our photo. Definitely worth another stop! read more

Staff was very friendly. Music was good. Food was good and quick! Bathrooms were clean.

Great food and atmosphere. Family owned and operated with live music. The service was great!

The service was great, we got seated right away at lunch in December. Our server was so kind & friendly. Kid-friendly restaurant. There is also a cute little store inside. Clean bathrooms & clean facilities overall. Kids chicken tender and fries -- the fries were SO good! Don't sleep on this restaurant because it was great. I enjoyed reading about the owners (I think it was on the menu or on the table) and that was a sweet nice touch. I also liked seeing their photos on the wall. Overall -- great food and I can tell it is ran by amazing people behind the food. Everything you would want in a local-style restaurant. read more
