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!

Fried Corn Ribs

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.

Breaded pork tenderloin

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Downing Street Pour House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always really good, and…read moresome of my favorites are the salmon, the Black and Blue Burger, and their salads. They also have a kids' menu, even though it is not listed on the regular menu, which is nice to know if you are bringing children with you. The staff is always awesome, friendly, and welcoming. 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.

Let me just say that we have been to Branson twice for probably a combined dining experience number…read moreof around 12 times and this blew everything so far out of the water, it should be in it's own league. 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!
