    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.

    Fish plate
    Zhenya B.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Do they still have an adult grilled cheese? No kids meal?

    I believe they do. I just looked up their menu online and it's still there.

It's getting…read moreharder to find places that truly care about the customer experience, and this is one of them. Huge shoutout to John, Hillary, and Pope--they're a big reason this place feels so welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care and it shows in every interaction. Everything is extremely well priced, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is laid back, fun, and unique. Highly recommend.

    Me and my buddy decided to visit Branson for a movie and we decided to stop in at a random place to…read moreeat. We decided on Crazy Craig's treehouse, one that looked like cozy simple affordable food. Upon walking into the establishment, we discovered that the parking lot is a tight entry with the infamous Branson hills. The exterior was appealing and cool to look at yet the interior was cramped and barely any room to sit. They did have a nice area to sit upstairs though the pool table upstairs didn't contain the ball rack and the table was incredibly dirty/unmaintained. Moving onto the service. We were told to sit anywhere and someone would come and check on us, it was several minutes before someone came to check what we wanted with little to no business going on. However they were nice so that was a nice plus. The pricing for this place is a little overpriced for the simple food menu they have. We paid 10 dollars for chips and queso and the serving size that was on the platter was barely enough to feed us both. Our main entrees were easily 15 dollars a plate and not to mention that it took quite a lot of time for everything to come out. The overall taste of the food/drinks were very disappointing. My Dr Pepper was extremely flat no matter a refill or not, the chips were stale, and the queso tasted like fake cheese (only cheese I can compare it to is lunchables). My chicken sandwich I ordered was incredibly subpar: especially since when I pay 15 dollars for a sandwich I want a patty and not two chicken tenders plastered on a bun. Especially the pepper jack cheese on my tender sandwich had absolutely no spice which made me believe it was fake cheese as well. Even the pepper from the shaker only had a hint of the taste of pepper. The worst experience in this first and last visit was the fact that the pepper sauce (hot sauce) was all expired. Our tables sauce had expired on July 2025! I checked other tables and only one of the tables had a September 2027 date the rest had May 2025. So I didn't use any condiments on my food which overall ruined my meal. The only truly good food product I had was the French fries so if you go here just order the fries from the appetizer section and seeing how they are a bar as well: drink while you're here because you will need it to get through main entrees. Overall: friendly slow service, bad food, bad soda, and tight space and parking lot. Not worth your time!

That batter was amazing! Everything was cooked just right. However, the potato could have used more stuff on it. Don't scrimp on the butter, cheese, and sour cream. The server was the best! Angelica was so attentive, so helpful with choices, and such a wonderful young lady. Ask for her when you go. The thing that kept this review from being a five star was the hostess. She took our name and phone number, but didn't put our name on the list. After waiting outside in the heat for too long, we went in and asked how much longer and the manager couldn't find us. Not cool.
