I can't say I've had better ribs somewhere else . These are the best beef ribs I've ever had. Military friendly, and they really took care of my 2 children. They sell ice cream that's made somewhere else, but it was excellent. Don't hesitate, everything looks delicious and the owners/ workers are awesome. read more

We went with another family (4 adults, 4 kids) and had a great meal. The ribs in particular were a favorite. The staff was helpful (and checked in on us once we were seated and eating, which is not always true of BBQ joints), and the owner let us check out the pit and ask questions. The outdoor seating was also a nice little spot, with sinks for washing up afterwards (c'mon, it's barbecue!). Would absolutely recommend it and will return next time we are in town. read more

Oscar's is my favorite BBQ place in Branson! Mostly I use the drive thru and take food home with me as I leave town. I have eaten inside on occasion and it's fine. I like the pulled pork as well as the beef sandwiches. This last trip I tried the baked potato special. It was large and made two meals. I'm not a spicy fan so I like the mild and sweet option. The baked beans are always good. Many times, I've had the smoked mac n cheese. After reading all these reviews about the ribs, I'm going to try those next trip. Pricing is reasonable. It's a small business so I always pay cash. Service is great. There is always a crowd, but the line moves fast. Location in on a very business street. Watch for the fools that will pull into the drive thru going the wrong way! read more

Impressive!!! We are already planning our next visit. We walked in to weigh out our options and everyone was super friendly and helpful. We had the ribs which were fall off the bone delicious!!! The Mac n cheese was creamy and perfection!! Potato salad was like nothing I've ever had before, mind you we're from Texas. The MEATY BEANS lived up to the hype!!!! Best beans I've EVER had!!! This is a MUST when you're in Branson!!!! read more

Great good all around. Super friendly staff. The presumed owner of the place checked up on everyone in the place also and seemed genuinely interested in how the bbq was, as he should be. I would eat here just about every day if I lived here. Also a nice seating area inside and very clean. read more

Oscar's Famous Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Been about a year since we went, but the ribs are under seasoned, over cooked, and gray in color as if they mare leftovers reheated in the Saran Wrap they were cut from. Could've been just a bad batch or just the wrong day to go, but the pulled chicken wasn't much better. The beans were pretty good. My son and I always joke about the ribs though. If these ribs are famous... wow! read more

First visit at Oscar's today. Went with the Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Excellent flavor, huge portion. Super friendly staff. Give them a try. read more

Oscar's Famous Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Great Bbq! Small place to sit down indoors so drive through might be the best option.

I dug in too fast to take any photos unfortunately, but WOW, the BBQ at Oscar's is just beyond. My family's been a fan of Oscar's for years, stopping by the gas station stand that used to be by Big Cedar when in town. While we're sad it closed, the location in Branson brought the same incredible flavors we remembered and love. The ribs truly are something special - maybe the best I've ever had. The pulled pork sliders and mac and cheese were solid options. I don't typically eat baked beans, but their meaty baked beans were OUTSTANDING. Sauces were the perfect consistency and right balance of sweet and smoky. They have a medium and hot option of sauce too, that had good kick without scorching your taste buds. SIMPLE MENU AND FOOD DONE TO PERFECTION. read more

Tried this place for the first time about a week ago. I had the sampler. All 3 meats came chopped up. I would've liked my chicken to be sliced instead of chopped, but it wasn't too bad. The chicken was my favorite meat as the pork and brisket seemed dry. I also tried the polish sausage. It was very good. The BBQ sauce (the hot and the mild) was vinegar based, which isn't my favorite. The meaty beans were awesome and the coleslaw was good. I'm not a fan of bottled drinks, but they weren't terribly overpriced. Staff were very friendly and the dining room had space for larger parties, however it's at a long table with metal fold out chairs. Those chairs in particular aren't very sturdy/comfortable for larger people. The restrooms needed to be cleaned, but other than that, it wasn't bad. All in all, it wasn't my cup of tea, but that's not because the food is bad necessarily. It's just not my favorite style of BBQ. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! We got the 1/2 slab of baby back ribs and the pulled chicken sandwich ("Make it Sloppy", "Carolina Style"), side of cucumber and onion salad, and smoked mac 'n cheese. The ribs literally fell off the bone and were downright the best baby back ribs we've ever had. The pulled chicken sandwich was also delicious. Everything comes without sauce so that you can add your own to make it how you like it. It's a cool throw back looking place and the service is great. Very friendly! You can eat inside or outside. We highly recommend Oscar's. read more

Hey Yelpers! Stopped by here to pick up some food to take home. Got the pulled pork, Mac and cheese, meaty beans, and some drinks. The pork came with the sauce on the side, which was nice. It let us make it as saucy as we wanted. The pork had a great smoked flavor all on its own. The beans had more meat than expected and a really good flavor, as did the mac and cheese. We went through the drive through and the service was friendly and very fast. There was no dine in eating when we were there. If you are looking to dine in, call ahead. It may have been due to them closing a short time after we were there. Either way, we would visit them again. Check them out!!! read more

Stopped in at Oscar's Famous Ribs on a local recommendation--and unlike some tourist traps, this one delivered. The meat was incredibly flavorful, fall-off-the-bone tender, and clearly cooked in-house with care. We went for the Meaty Sampler, and it was more than enough to satisfy our family of four. The sides held their own too: the meaty beans lived up to their name--rich, hearty, and not just filler. And the mac and cheese? Creamy, cheesy, and perfectly balanced--not overdone like some places tend to serve it. The vibe inside was unmistakably local: friendly, no-frills, and all about the food. The staff was welcoming, and the place felt like one of those gems you're glad you didn't miss. Would absolutely come back--in fact, I'm planning to return tomorrow. If you're in Branson and craving BBQ, don't miss this one. read more

Great Ambiance... feels like home. Great place for everyone. Food is great! The staff is Great!

Absolutely THE BEST bbq in Branson!!! Order the brisket sandwich and "make it sloppy"!! You'll thank me later. Others had the port steak and said it was the best they had ever eaten. The ribs are perfect too. The smoked flavor of all the food is just incredible. Branson has really good bbq joints but Oscar's takes the crown! read more

Oscars's was a pleasant surprise for a great meal. We were downtown shopping and ran across this place and decided to give it a try since it looked like a popular local BBQ spot. We are from Texas and would like to consider ourselves BBQ officianados. Let me tell you this place would give any of our Texas BBQ joints a run for their money! We had the baby back ribs and meaty beans. We both had a half rack and could only eat half of ours, so had enough for lunch the next day. It was truly delicious. They have made a new customer anytime we are in Branson. read more

I never want to leave a bad review so I am going to just say this wasn't really my kind of BBQ place. I got the half slab ribs and side of potato salad. 1. I am not a fan of my ribs being wrapped in plastic and that made them slimy. I love a bark on my ribs and with them being wrapped in plastic it made them slime I feel, and I wasn't really a fan. Also, it would be nice if you sliced the ribs and not just left it a giant rib chunk. 2. The BBQ Sause was vinegar based and I am not a fan of that, I like the sweet BBQ souse. 3. the potato salad was mayo based and I am only a fan of mustered based potato salad. 4. My wife got a sampler, and all the meat were chopped up almost to mush chicken should be sliced sme with brisket you shouldn't assume everyone was everything chopped. The coleslaw was good and the mac and cheese was good.. I wasn't a fan of bottled drinks I feel they should have drinks out and not charge for every single bottle. I am not sure I would be back but like I said it just isn't my style of BBQ but I wanted to leave a review. read more

Great ribs and sauce generous servings was very pleased also side dishes like the beans were very good

Whenever I'm visiting Branson, Oscar's is a MUST stop! Delicious food and fantastic service leaves me always wanting to come back for more! Their baby back ribs and meaty beans just can't be beat! read more

Love how friendly they are here! They've been at this location for 4 years. It's a small interior but there there is seating. The food is good. The beans are pork and beans and spicy. Good. But if you're from Texas you might not go for the potato salad. Red potato salad with Mayo. The slaw is good tangy. I'm coming back because it's not the tourist trap. It's a local eatery. Prices are reasonable. I'll see you next time again Oscar's. read more

Wow wow is all my husband and I can say !!! Best bbq we have had since being in Missouri. Great family owned place with healthy portions of your favorite meats!!! Can't say enough about Oscars !!! read more

As a local First time trying Oscar's. I got Burger deal and the patty was a good quality smoke meat but it was ruined by a cheap horrible bun. Disappointing to put so much work into the meat to pair it with cheap bun. Beans were very good. Small cup disappointing for drink. Don't cut corners and it would be a five. I will go back and try some BBQ but currently there are better options around the area. Hope they fix the buns. read more

Great BBQ joint. It's good food at a great price, served by wonderful folks. I would classify it as a BBQ hole in the wall. I always see locals in there when I go. It's a small place with great food that does not market to the tourists masses. It's not flashy, high priced, medium quality, high volume food. It is slow cooked, great priced, high quality, with helpful friendly staff. Pork steaks are fall off the bone plastic fork tender. Polish sausage has a nice flavor to it as well. Spicy link sausage does not cater to the masses as it is spicy in more than name. The baked beans are loaded with meat and have a great smoked flavor. I was pleased with the Mac and cheese (I'm not a Mac and cheese expert.) I talked to the lady behind the counter that was the owner. Local, non corporate ownership. read more

All the food we had was good. My two favorites were the half pound barbecue pork sandwich and the half pound brisket sandwich. Both five star sandwiches. The half rack of barbecue pork ribs was a four star entre. The pork sandwich was juicy and tasted great. Today there was a special. A soft drink and side order were included with the pork sandwich. The brisket was also juicy and tasted great. It had a good blend of meat and fat. All the sandwiches were stuffed with meat. There are no refills on the soft drink and Oscar's does not serve French fries. The spare ribs were tender and tasty, as all the meat was. Not seasoned as well as the other meats. Beans are very good. My wife's son told me that the chicken was moist, not dry and had great flavor it was seasoned well. A five star entre. The sausage my wife had was also good. Blues were playing while we dined there. The staff and the manager were all pleasant and spoke with us. They were interested if we liked our food. There are many barbecue places in Branson. This was the best. Now we have a must "go to" place to eat in Branson, MO. read more

Food awesome the brisket sandwich was great Service they are very friendly Atmosphere excellent read more

We came with a group of six based on a local's recommendation, and it lived up to the hype! I grill and smoke often, so I feel I have pretty high standards. It's a really small dining area, & many came in to get to-go orders. For the food, we created our own sampler of ribs, pork steak, and smoked chicken. Ribs are a must! The potato salad was creamy and delicious (mayo based), and the meaty beans were the best beans I've ever had. I'm not really a bean eater, and I had two helpings! The owners were super friendly and answered all my questions. They're open Wednesday through Saturday so go earlier rather than later if you want something specific because once they run out, they're out. read more

Great food ! Super friendly staff! we got to try a sample of the house baked beans and it blow all of our mind !!! The ribs are amazing ! Right next to 3 great thrift stores so you can walk off the overly stuffed feeling ! For sure a must stop joint ! read more

Great service, waited not even 2 minutes for our food. They even brought us out a free sample of the beans. Definitely priced well.

We have decided to have a BBQ dinner while we stayed in Branson for the weekend but with so many choices, which one should we pick? Since we like to do a take out and we love mom and pop's business, so we decided to give Oscars a try. We called in just 5 min ahead and when we pulled up, they already have the order ready for us. Their price is very reasonable and the ribs are absolutely delicious! Heavenly and falling off the bones. The spare ribs are piping hot, not too smokey but savory/ seasoned well. We had a long and tired day and this ribs really hit the spot. The briskets has that lamb kinda smell and taste very yummy also. We love it so much that we ordered a full rack of spare ribs a half rack of baby ribs to take home. Of course, I couldn't wait to see how their baby back taste like, it's not as soft as the spare ribs but very savory also. All in all, you can't go wrong with either way. And the owner is very friendly and very local. Highly recommended! read more

5 stars for the wonderful food and staff at Oscars. I had the brisket sliders combo with amazing coleslaw. Hubby had the Wednesday special burger with potato salad.
