Portions were solid, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere had that classic Branson BBQ vibe--casual, welcoming, and just a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Staff was friendly and kept things moving without making it feel rushed. If you're in Branson and want legit BBQ, this is a must-stop. Definitely one of the better spots in the area.

Turned out they were out of burnt ends at 5:00. Problem is they were also out of brisket at the same time. Lots of unhappy customers. Saying that: the chicken, ribs and sausage we had was all very good. Great flavor and the meat was all well smoked. Corn pudding and baked beans were also very good. My only suggestion is the place plan for more main essentials being a BBQ place.

Menu Wings, burgers, hand helds, salads, full bar-specialty cocktails. We had the ahi tuna with 2 sides-coleslaw and broccoli. Generous servings! The tuna was in a yummy aioli-peppery custed. The cole slaw sauce was extra good-just enough sauce-not excessively creamy-just right. The broccoli was perfect-not heavily seasoned-just right. Summary Spirts bar with lots of big tv's-great menu-outstanding service, best food ever! Love it!!

Big Whiskey's is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever drink anywhere else…read more First off, the bartenders are genuinely friendly--not the fake "I have to be nice for tips" friendly, but the "welcome to Branson, what are we celebrating?" kind. They actually know their whiskey, too, which is dangerous in the best possible way. The whiskey selection is outstanding. If you can't find something you like here, the problem might be you. Bourbon, rye, scotch--this place respects brown liquor the way it deserves to be respected. The food is surprisingly great, which is always a pleasant twist when you walk into a whiskey bar. You come for the drinks and end up staying for the meal... and then another drink... and then maybe dessert because why not? The customers are just as friendly as the staff, which somehow feels very on-brand for Branson. People actually talk to each other here. It's like a bar and a community center, but with better cocktails. And the location is perfect--right in the middle of Branson, which is already one of the most unexpectedly fantastic places around. Shows, food, music, friendliness everywhere... Branson just works. Big Whiskey's doesn't try too hard. It doesn't need to. It's just a solid, fun, welcoming spot that gets everything right. Highly recommend--especially if you enjoy good whiskey, good food, and good people.

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!

Sat in a comfy table with a padded pew close to the bar with our backs to the wall, which instantly put my hyper vigilant husband at ease (IYKUK). Chatted a bit with our kind server who was also a millennial, how do I know this? The eye contact and lovely snarky conversation. My husband ordered his med rare, which probably came out more med and not enough pink for his liking. Correction on my part, I got the mahi mahi with parmesan grits and green beans and I didn't even need to look at my pictures to recall, it was that memorable of a meal. Being early January a parking spot nearby was an easy find, I imagine though finding one come spring will feel like a miracle. I'd love to stay at the attached hotel but found it's already booked a year out. Doesn't surprise me, the old English charm with its stone and dark wood is straight up story book.

We were craving pizza and didn't want to drive into Branson on New Year's Day…read more So....I talked myself into trying Hook & Ladder again. Even though I said never again, I gave them another opportunity because I really like supporting local businesses when I'm in the area. The pizzas were good, hot, and tasty. One pizza was a veggie with Canadian bacon added and the other was all different types of meat. Both were very good. The crust was the regular and very good but next time I might try the thin crust for comparison. The dining area was clean even though the place was packed with families since it was holiday vacation time. Service was good. The young woman on the cash register was a little flustered, but the phone was ringing and people were waiting to order, pick-up, and pay. So that was understandable that she had her hands full. As busy as it was, she was still smiling! You won me back Hook & Ladder! See you next trip!

I had Gail's Famous Omelet - Ham, mushrooms, cheddar jack cheese, onions and green and red peppers. The omelet was perfect in thickness and the toppings were balanced.

Their coffee was good too! My mom had a BLT with fries. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we definitely will be back when we are in Branson again.

We each got 4 strips, and I was barely able to eat two. There are a lot of sauces to choose from. I got the classic ranch, and garlic Parmesan. Both delicious. This second time around I tried the poutine and the Ozark Street corn. Absolutely delicious. I am craving both the poutine and street corn again right now. The fries on the poutine had a nice mix of soft and crispy. For dessert I got the apple cobbler. It was nice and warm, sweet but not overly sweeet with a scoop of vanilla. The food came out fast too.

Sides were side salad, mashed potatoes and gravy and Ozark street corn. The chicken was very good. Crispy skin. Tender juicy meat. Cooked perfectly. I would have preferred white gravy on the mashed potatoes but they were still very good and the portion was large. My wife enjoyed the side salad but I would probably order something other than the Ozark street corn. It was good. Just not what I enjoy. Overall this is probably the best place in Branson we've found if you want a fried chicken dinner.
