We went to SS for the first time this weekend. Right when we pulled up we were happy we stopped. The atmosphere and ambiance was just what we were looking for. There is a bar area, general indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. The decor is beautiful, gorgeous wood. We got appetizers and drinks at the bar, day one. Since it is on the water they cannot serve liquor, instead they serve mixed drinks with sake. They also have beer, wine and champagne. We ordered the fried pickles and chips/queso which were excellent. The fried pickles were perfectly fried and not greasy. We decided to go back day two for dinner. Right away we were taken care of by Sean and Lisa who remembered us from the prior day. We ordered loaded fries, burnt end salad and catfish. The fries and burnt ends were amazing. Fries had gooey cheese, bacon and perfectly crisp fries. The burnt ends were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The catfish was not great, kind of fatty. We are used to fresh fish so it could be that we are spoiled. That is the only thing we didn't enjoy. We can't wait to go back! read more

Very good restaurant. To be honest when we first walked in I was a little worried. The interior is a little generic and the floors were a little sticky and I was getting a "chain fast food" vibe. Plus the pictures on Yelp show the restaurant being on the lake, and maybe they have a lake location, but this location is smack downtown Branson and there is no outdoor seating over looking water. So I was worried. Surprise. The food was very good and fresh. I got the shrimp trio with sweet potato fries and mixed veggies. All three shrimp types were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fries were crispy and yummy. The veggies had just the right amount of seasoning. I recommend this restaurant. (Even if you don't get a water view. ) read more

Actually wish I could give this place negative stars. Omg First the table and seats were disgustingly dirty had to wait for it to be cleaned off. First impressions go a long way with me I wanted to leave at first sight but the rest of my party who were obviously hungry wanted to give it a chance. We all decide to have the catfish dinner. BIG MISTAKE!!!! When It came out I said this doesn't even LOOK like fried catfish. Obviously it was fried in old oil. First bite omg I almost gagged . " This is NOT catfish!!" Informed our waitress ( angie) who was actually the high point of the experience. She brought out the manager.... Lol Do you know the saying " things will get worse before they get better" Let's just say he wasn't happy. Told us "you never had REAL catfish " DUDE!!! We're from MISSISSIPPI! Catfish capital of the world! He was extremely rude. Extremely unprofessional. Started taking pictures of our party claiming we were skipping out on the bill! Wow! We offered to pay for our drinks. Which were very overpriced i may add. It was a very bad experience. Please stop at the door and save your time and money. Period!!! read more

We liked this place alright. The service was good and so was the food. We'd give it five stars, if it weren't for the fact that there really wasn't anything super outstanding about the food. While it was fresh, tasty and seasoned well...there was just something about it that seemed like a chain restaurant. Although, we will say that the potato salad (with the pulled pork plate) was unique and yummy! We certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from going here...just giving our opinion. read more

Awesome Experience, my daughter loved it! The food was good and the waiters were very attentive, as well as good singers.

Arriving for an evening meal we were quickly seated by polite staff. Our order was taken at a reasonable time and our food arrived quickly, hot, and tasted great. read more

No outside dining. They told us they did not have enough staff to seat people on the patio. We understand but we are old folks who don't want to go into restaurants yet. But we also would have to listen to Christian rock as the background music so all in all best we return to the landing read more

Stopped in Last weekend and had the Shrimp basket, it was awesome. The shrimp are huge! If you go away hungry your own fault. The staff are very personable. read more

Took forever to get service at our table Beer list sucks don't have what we usually drink. Not that populated and had annoying music Food is very bad.... read more

Great place! Had dinner for 12 and it was perfect. Food was excellent as was the service

Had the Gator Bites for an App and the Shrimp Trio for lunch. First of all, the food came out warm, more on the cool side. Not what you're looking for in seafood. That said, the gator bites good, and of the shrimp trio, only the fried shrimp were good and fresh. The bacon wrapped pepper shrimp along with the blackened shrimp were not good. Also cam with some chilled rice and mixed vegetables that were also below average. We will not be back. Lastly, there was 1 waiter in the room which didn't help things. read more

Amber was amazingly awesome, in every way!¡! Food (Sweet Pepper Shrimp) was great ,and OMG Martini, Martini, Martini!¡! Bartender makes Martini Monday a reality! read more

The food was good, service was excellent and the delivery robot added some thing extra. The Ambiance was good for visiting and catching up. The owners were out and front and genuinely cared for staff, quality and customers read more

We just had drinks & appetizers up at the bar area but the specialty martinis we had & the two apps were great! The bartender was attentive & friendly. It's in the old Shorty Smalls/Moon River Cafe location read more

Ambiance was great. Good music playing at a reasonable level. I did not see any TVs in the area we were sitting. Robot server assistance were cool. Service was good. Waiter was polite. Some guy in a Hawaiian shirt surprised us asking about taking our photo. We declined and he didn't bother us again. I had what was supposed to be catfish fried in a cornmeal batter. It was fried fish, but not fried in cornmeal. It was cooked well, but not what I asked for. The batter was more like what would be used on chicken. Very disappointing. My wife enjoyed her meal and was very pleased. read more

Food was great we got the pork nachos and crab legs. We enjoyed the window view and got our picture taken to take home with us. Bathroom were nice and clean. Will definitely come back when in town. And will recommend to anyone who is hungry! read more

What an amazing vibe! Jeremy our waiter was fantastic and very pleasant. The Christian music was a great nuance to the dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

Krista was the greatest bartender ever! The crab dip was amazing & she suggested the Land Ho drink and it was SO good! I definitely recommend!!! read more

Nice restraint, horrible parking. Meals were okay, nothing outstanding, vegetables were hard.

Me, my God mother, & 3 of our friends went to eat here this week. It was all of our first times. The food looked like it all came straight from my mamaws fridge. Very low grade. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from a plastic instant mashed potatoes cup. The nachos consisted of a little bit of queso on the bottom of the plate, then a pile of thin cheap tortilla chips, a big pile of lettuce strips, then a big piles of COLD GRATED CHEESE, topped with jalapeños. Save your money trust me read more

Great food. Well prepared. Had the skippers platter. Every part cooked perfectly. Dockside burger. WOW. Super large and super tasty. Angeline was our sever. 5 days in the USA from the Philippines. What a pleasure to meet her. A great addition to a family owned restaurant. Will definitely return. read more

Amber was great! Food was good. Wait wasn't bad. There was no dock. Visited on a Saturday when Branson was crazy busy, but it was fairly quiet at SS at 4PM. read more

Outstanding food, service and overall experience. Probably the BEST restaurant experience we've had since the pandemic began. You absolutely 100% MUST eat at this family owned and operated restaurant when you are in Branson. Thank you Victoria and Matthew! read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, excellent service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was good and fresh, the server Amber was very attentive, also the owner came by talked to us was very polite, ALL around good experience, I highly recommend this place will definitely visit it again when we are around that area read more

I wouldn't recommend eating here. It was kinda dirty and the staff argued with each other the whole time and the food wasn't great.

We had great service and great food! Waiter did a good job up selling us! Lol. Food was good and prices were expected. We'll be back.

Really cool restaurant. Lives up to the theme. The service blew me away. Make sure you get Victoria as your waitress super nice person. Food was just like Victoria. read more

Good service good food!! We went on a Friday night without calling ahead, got a table right away, food was delicious and you get a LARGE portion for a very good price. Circy was our server and he was very attentive, fast and friendly. They were out of a side I wanted but he offered to throw together something similar to it without prompting or instead of just saying they were out. He held conversation easily and made it a very enjoyable dinner. If you go here ask to be seated in his area you won't be sorry he'll make sure you get great service and meet a friendly person. read more

Server was good, but food was wildly mediocre. Best thing about the place were automated food runners.

Great food and great service!! We had coconut shrimp and fish and chips. Definitely will be back!

Happy with food and service. Had the catfish, shrimp and chicken platter which is enough for two for lunch.

If you don't mind having someone try to sell you pictures in frame and someone else trying to get money from you for making ballon then keep ready. If not, then you can skip this place. Food was fine. Kids and wife both got dishes with chicken in them and it was pretty bland. The Shrimp trio was good except for the blackened shrimp, which was flavorless. I just want to enjoy dinner with my family which main reason I two star. Server was great and attentive read more

Cody made our experience just wonderful. And he is not kidding about the burnt ends! Not all sauced up, just perfect juicy bites you can choose to dip in a great BBQ sauce. Very pleasant atmosphere, can easier accommodate big parties. Full bar. Well done! read more

Drove past super hungry, thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Delicious place, extremely friendly staff, food was out quick and we were satisfied. read more

Service was great, food came out quick and tasted good. We had to wait 40 min to get a table with multiple tables open (seemed understaffed). read more

The ketchup was good. Small portions. Finished up my meal with Sonics on the way home.

seafood boils were cold, after asking for a boil that wasn't cold we received another boil that was also cold. manager was rude, even after having him feel that the crab and corn was cold. the crawfish was nasty, as well as the boiled eggs. will not be back, and absolutely do not recommen. read more

Got into town and found the closest place over 4 stars and wow, this place did not disappoint...got the pretzel for an app, and the shrimp trio and the Buffalo chicken sandwich. I've waited for food longer at McDonalds, it came out surprisingly fast. Justin was our server and was attentive and energetic...made the whole experience 10x better. read more

We got seated and waited at least 15 minutes for someone to come to our table. No problem bc we know restaurants are hurting right now. We were patient and she asked if we were ready to order when we put in our drink order. We were ready anyway and wanted to save her as many trips as possible. We ordered 2 dr peppers, a water, gator bites for an appetizer, then a lobster roll with Cole slaw, blackened salmon with a side salad and mixed veggies, then a burger with fries. We waited and waited and then got the appetizer. A food runner dropped it by without noticing we never got our drinks, which isn't his problem.. he's not the server. Then our meals come out and we still don't have drinks. I politely ask him and he gets them for us. Our server never came to check on us once until the end. The mixed veggies were terrible, the burger was terrible, lobster roll was really good, side salad was good, we got fries instead of the Cole slaw ordered. No big deal on that. At the end, when we went to pay it gave an option for tips for 0%, 20%, 25%, 30%. We still gave 20 bc we know restaurants are short staffed. She saw he clicked 20% and acted annoyed even though she literally didn't pay attention to our table at all. It wasn't busy at all either. After the awful food and service, we won't be back. I would give this place 0 stars if I could and I was so excited to try it. read more
