Pulled pork, brisket, baked beans, Mac and cheese
Missy V.

Wow this was phenomenal bbq! This was my parent's favorite bbq place we have been. The sides are all homemade and very tasty. The ribs and brisket were cooked perfectly and our favorite. The staff was friendly and helpful. This was a cute little place they have a nice patio to eat on too. Don't miss the three layered key lime pie!!! Soo good!!

Rib plate with beans and potato salad

Great BBQ! Highly Recommend. Definitely worth a stop here. There was a line outside around noon on Saturday. Line moved quickly. There's seating both inside and outside. There was also live music outside. In order of my fav (if I can decide): Ribs. Some of the best. Fall off the bone and tender. Great bark and seasoning. Need to get everytime. Potato salad. Wow. Amazing flavor. Will get every time. Corn casserole. Wow. Great texture flavor. Beans. Had sausage. Very tasty. Brisket. Got the lean. Great bark and seasoning. Not as tender as the ribs. Mac and cheese. Good. Mile high key lime pie. Good. Great service! Small lot. Some parking on the other side of the gas station. They close when they run out. Go early. Can't wait till I get the opportunity to return!

Brisket, pulled pork, hot link, potato salad and beans all were delicious!

Sure enjoyed our visit here. The gentleman that waited on us was very friendly and polite. My wife had brisket and pulled pork and I had brisket, pulled pork and a hot link. The brisket was seasoned, smoked and cooked perfectly. We look forward to our next visit.

Brisket Sandwich with Mac and cheese (and a bonus rib)

Fantastic BBQ, huge portions, and friendly folks running the place. We took a crew of 8 guys in for lunch. I had heard that they sell out daily--and we showed up about 10 minutes prior to them opening to find about 5 people already waiting in line for the doors to open. While we were there, I don't think there was ever a moment where there wasn't a line of people waiting to place their order. The BBQ did NOT disappoint either. Amazing ribs, amazing brisket, and the desserts are on point! Highly recommend it and would get there early. Inside seating probably holds ~30 people, but it's a cozy little place. I think they had some outdoor tables off to the left side as well, but I didn't specifically go look out there to see the setup.

fatty brisket (sliced), beans, potato salad

Brisket was very, very good. This BBQ spot is small and tucked away, but their meats are smoked to perfection. If you love a good brisket, Old 76 Smokehouse will not disappoint. They do have gluten free side options: beans, potato salad, coleslaw (just remember to say no bread, or get the bread on the side). Staff were very friendly.

The "The Pig Cheezy"!

We go out of our way to go to Old 76. Either coming into town or on the way home. This is the only place within 100 miles that has "Texas brisket "!

The 1 meat plate ribs

This review is easy peasy bacon greasy! 5 stars all day long, i live in KC and travel the south, i have eaten BBQ at most well know establishments, its a passion, and this place does it well. The ribs were up there, they are as good as Joe's, Slap's, or Gettin Basted! The bark was beautiful and the bite was even better! We also had the smoke Bologna sandwich...BAM! They have a wonderful sauce, we loved the Mac and coleslaw. Finish with the Whiskey Barrel Bread Pudding for dessert! Will be a regular here...

The exterior of Old 76 Smokehouse

In Branson for the weekend, found Old 76 Smokehouse on this app. We tried to go Friday around 6 but they were closed due to being sold out. On Saturday after we did our activities, I called to see if they still had meats and they did. We went around 4pm, and when we walked in, it was already packed. When we got to the register, the man taking care of us was the owner. I did not know this until I said I have Celiac Disease and he said "oh so do I and my son as well. The owner (Bob), his wife, Paul and myself were probably talking about GF foods and experiences for 5 mins at the register before we even ordered. Thankfully no one was behind us waiting to order. Bob was so kind! Paul and I both ordered the 2 meat tray( 2 meats, 2 sides, and bread). Bob put a note on mine to make sure they take the proper precautions. I told him they can put my bread on Paul's plate if that was ok, he then told me I get my own GF bread! I was so excited bc I was not expecting that! He also told me he would grab my silverware from the kitchen so there was no chance of cross-contact from the silverware in the front (customers go up and grab their own silverware and napkins). Paul and I did not have to wait long before our food came out. Bob brought out my food himself and he was wearing gloves. He informed me he gave me pickles from a jar he opened himself that way there was no risk, and he gave me ALOT of pickles.. I was so happy about that. The GF bread was THE BEST GF Bread I've ever had! It was normal size, it was soo soft and perfect texture. The ribs were fall off the bone, literally and had the best flavor. I also ordered the brisket (fatty) and it was so flavorful and I was able to cut it with my fork. My sides were coleslaw and potato salad! Both were so good, top notch coleslaw, Paul agreed. This was hands down the BEST BBQ we have had. Bob and his wife mentioned that next time we come to town and give them 24 hr notice, they can make GF Mac and cheese. Not only was the food delicious but the owner and his wife were the nicest people and in my opinion went above and beyond for me! Old 76 Smokehouse was so good I told 5 people about it the minute we left. When we come back to Branson, this will be one of our first stops. It is the best place to eat in Branson in my opinion.

Ribs, Mac&cheese, potato salad

Food is phenomenal!! I am a bbq snob and these ribs are probably the best I've ever had!! Service was good! My husband had the brisket and he loved it. Bbq sauce e pairs perfect with the meat. Such a cute little place. Next time we come back to Branson we will be back for seconds.

The meat lovers plate.
Debbie S.

Family dinner here this evening and the food was amazing! We ordered the meat lovers plate, sweet bbq pulled pork sandwiches, and ribs. The meats were very lean, and served in generous portions, Their bbq sauce was delicious, and all 8 adults loved their meals. We enjoyed sides of potato salad, cole slaw and corn casserole. The bread pudding was also excellent. They have a delightful lighted outdoor patio, where we ate. The service and prices were also very good.

Best BBQ I've ever had and I've lived in Texas! He closes several days as that is how long he smokes the brisket. It is wonderful!!

We ate here the night before Valentine's to beat the rush, and we had such a good experience…read more We started with the calamari, which was some of the best we'd ever had. Our main courses were the prime rib and the scallops. The prime rib was good, and the scallops were outstanding. We had the cheesecake for dessert. It was phenomenal. We highly recommend Cellar 417. It was all delicious!

So I have been back multiple times and the last two times I was a bit disappointed with what I…read morethought was the timing of the dinner service. It seemed to take longer than I expected and everyone was so busy, it seemed like they needed a few more employees to service the crowd. But then I discovered this is a scratch dinner service and when the food came out, it was exceptional. I come to find out that this is a scratch dinner preparation, meaning Nothing is made until you order, and sometimes with multiple people at your table plates may not come out at the same time because they may be batched with similar orders that came in at the same time from separate tables. Take for example the Beef Cheek pasta. One person at our table was served the beef cheek pasta as well as somebody at a separate table. But the other three diners at our table were still waiting for our meal for quite some time. But it comes out hot and It comes out freshly prepared, because it is not sitting there under a heat lamp, waiting for the other meals to be prepared. When my roast did chicken did arrive, along with my wife's shrimp and another diners scallops, everything was hot, fresh, outstanding and well worth the wait. So please be prepared when dinner service is busy, as it will be this summer. You may wait a little longer, but the food will be well worth the wait.
