    Burgers and fries
    Jean G.

    Big Real beef delicious burgers at a decent price. Seasoned fries, good sauces, and a huge shopping gift store area. Live band stage. No music while we visited which I prefer but like the option. Ample seating. Photo opportunity out front with massive chair. Did get acid reflux within 2 hours of meal. Not sure if they use liquid smoke but I always get reflux when food is cooked with that type of stuff.

    Fried green tomato blt

    What's not to love about this place? It has a fully stocked store with almost any home good items you can think of plus a full restaurant in the back! Wow. I was truly impressed as we came here on a random Wednesday night, but there were 14 of us in our party. They take your order before sitting down. I was most impressed with how quick and friendly the service was. I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich and loved it. There was no sandwich left. I could've ate the green tomatoes alone. The breading on that is so tasty. The sauce also adds a good flare. The fries weee cooked and seasoned perfectly. Prices aren't bad either! 10 out of 10 recommend

    Grilled Chicken Salad -- it's a large portion and comes with tons of ranch
    Becca R.

    We were searching for a place to have a quick lunch near our Airbnb and stumbled upon Pickin Porch Grill. We were a little confused when we pulled into "Branson Craft Mall"--and even more confused when we walked into the craft mall and didn't see any food. But all the way at the back of the building is Pickin Porch Grill. We tried a few different things--a pulled pork plate, a burger, and the grilled chicken salad. Everything was really good, and honestly exceeded our expectations. The restaurant has counter service, but they were so friendly and helpful despite not having table service. One employee even saw a couple of us were running low on drinks and offered to get us refills. It looks like they may have live music there, but we went during the day before high tourist season, so it was pretty quiet.

    I had the catfish po boy and my husband the potato skins. It's order from the counter seat yourself style diner but the staff is attentive with drink refills and keeping things clean!

    Great seating ! Great food ! And a very nice place to listen to live music ! Little hidden gem

    It's a little hidden gem at the craft mall ! They are only there on certain days! But it was great to listen to great live music and grab a bit to eat ! Loves the stage set up !

    This place is unassumingly located in the back of a craft mall. The staff was incredibly friendly and great at giving recommendations. The food is amazing! We were surprised this became our new favorite place to eat in Branson. Afterwards you can walk it off a little doing some shopping.

    We saw this place and pulled in to check it out. It's a cute antique store with a restaurant and bar in back We had amazing burgers and fries. Service was great. It's self service drink station and the servers refilled our drinks and were quite lovely

    This place is a great place to shop and have lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is lively and inviting. It is a craft store with local vendors and a restaurant in the back. We stopped here for lunch and was surprised to find that it was a store as well. The menu is on the wall and very well displayed. The food is really delicious! My husband and I split the Chicken Salad Sandwich and fries meal. The chicken salad has pineapple in it....wow! The sandwich and fries were so good and delicious! Our son had the Chicken Tender meal. It came with fries, baked beans, cole slaw, and a roll. Everything was served hot and fresh and with a smile ! Wow, customer service was great!!! The bathroom had a sugar scrub to try after you washed your hands. Wow, was it amazing! We bought some! I highly recommend this place! An older gentleman told us they have the best burgers he has ever had! Looking forward to coming back and trying the burgers!

    Probably the best tacos I've ever had. I'll be thinking about these for a long time and anytime I…read moreget anywhere near this place I'll insist on eating here. I got 4 tacos. Carnitas, Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and Asada. I loved them in that order. I probably wouldn't do the asada again. There's nothing wrong with it but it's just standard and I'd rather repeat one of the other 3. The meat in them was perfectly seasoned, tons of flavor, great texture. They have a little salsa bar to get some sauces. Green and orange were very hot which I love so they were perfect for me! Also a mild one to choose and sliced radishes and cucumbers which I love stuffing radishes onto my tacos. We showed up 20 min before close and it was no problem. Very welcoming. It took longer than expected to get the food being as we were the only ones in there but that told me they cooked it all fresh and took care in the preparation. Not just thrown in a basket and here ya go be quick and get going! One of the employees came to chat with us for a while and just ask about where we were from etc and we had a pleasant conversation with her. We won't soon forget this place and will be back again!

    10/10. Tl;dr. Excellent choice. You gotta try it…read more We're from San Antonio, so we're spoiled by options for great Mexican food. I was skeptical about a Mexican restaurant on the outskirts of Branson, Missouri, but we were pleased to find this hidden gem. If this restaurant was in San Antonio it would be on my short list of top choices, at least based on the one experience. We all agreed it exceded expectations and if we're ever back in Branson, we'll return. The parking lot was empty when we arrived, not a good sign, but it was 2:00pm on a weekday, in the off season (early May with temps in the upper 50's) so we decided to chance it. We walked in and were the only customers there. Everything only got better from there We received a healthy servings of chips with a small carafe of salsa, so no need to ask for refills. We ordered an appetizer of guacamole. It was on point. We repeatedly remarked how fresh and tasty everything was. My wife had a mango margarita. It came with plenty of mango flavor, including some fresh mango chunks. I had the ground beef chili relleno with a side order of cactus (nopales). I've had many disappointing chili rellenos, but this one was perfect. The ground beef was well seasoned and not to dry or too sloppy like you sometimes get. Is was very lightly breaded, so if you really like a lot of batter, that might be a negative for you. It was served "open-faced ", sliced open so the ground beef, topped with plenty of cheese, was on top of, not really stuffed inside the poblano chili, but it was awesome. The cactus strips had been stewed with onion, tomato and jalapeños, so it was almost like a spicy warm salsa, or if you've ever had spicy green beans cooked with tomato and jalapeño, it was kinda like that - really good. My wife had enchiladas with a side of fried ripe plantains (maduros) and our grown son had tacos. Again, everything was great. The server was attentive and food service was quick (to be fair, we were the only customers). This is a small place They have a patio but it was chilly so we sat inside. There were only 5-6 booths and 4-5 tables but the decor was nice. They played mostly mexican pop music ( incl. Selena - Bailey Este Cumbia) with some American pop - a nice mix. I almost never post to Yelp. I had to recover my password to post this, cuz its been years, but I didn't want to let this pass without giving these folks credit.
