I could understand because they were damn good. So good I decided to go in this time and order some rib ribs. He was doing baby backs, but I gotta tell you these were the biggest meatiest baby bags I have ever seen and they were fall off the bone tender. You could tell they had been smoked for hours because they were pink in the middle at the even though they were fall off the bone tender. He does not sauce his ribs. They have a nice rub on them, and then he has half a dozen homemade sauces to choose from that are delicious. Sorry I didn't think about doing a review and taking pictures until I was halfway in, but they were amazing and deserved a five star rating. For sides we had carrots and a whiskey, honey with baked beans, which were very nice. The green beans were OK a little soft for my taste, but it was the end of the night so I guess I could understand. We were already planning for next time when guests are coming down to get two racks and some burnt ends. May have to try the wings next time too. I definitely prefer and recommend Pop's Smoke Shack vs. Dana's anytime. Haven't tried the other local spots cause we "Q" pretty well ourselves when down. But Pops is definitely worth a visit when in Branson West.

I'm a big fan of grits and it's hard to find places that serve them, so I was excited when I saw grits on the menu. It's hard to mess up this type of food, so it's my go to when eating breakfast at a place like this. I thought they did a good job. The amount of food received was good, however the bacon was my only complaint. It was almost paper thin. I like the crunch that you get from this type of bacon, but it's definitely not a lot of bacon. Prices are very reasonable and the staff was friendly. We got in and out in less than an hour, so I felt that was good. Normally when I'm in this area we are camping so I cook. This was a nice change and I was glad to try something different.

It has a very inviting outdoor eating area with outdoor cafe lights that makes a nice ambiance. When you step inside, it is very clean and organized. The decor is so cool. I love reading all the funny signs! There is even a bar that has charging stations. To talk about the food, we have to start with the bread! The bread is a toasted sourdough that is baked and crispy. It is so delicious! The original is probably my favorite or the French dip with aujus. They have these new calzones that are huge and are the bread folded over into a sandwich. I had the French dip calzone and could only finish half. My husband and I could have shared it. It was so good! My husband got the bacon, Smokey cheesy sandwich. It's roast beef, cheddar and bacon. All of the sandwiches and salads I have tried are delicious! They have a free bar that has pickles, banana peppers, and jalapeños for toppings. It also has herbs and spices you can also use. The drink stations are nice also. The sweet tea always tastes freshly brewed. The owner talks with us each time we've come in. They are all so friendly and nice and come by to check if you need anything's and everything is tasting good. The bathrooms are clean, individual, big rooms. They have signs that they were voted the most popular independently owned Schlotzsky's. I highly recommend! We go each time we are in town!

Disappointed there's only 5 stars here…read more Having been a local for a few years now, and hearing wonderful things about this place, we finally went. All the wasted time!!!! This small unassuming building is easy to pass by. Ya know those cartoons when a scent wafting through the air grabs a dog's nose and leads him to a meal? Yeah, that's kinda the vibe here. You order at the counter, pay (slightly pricey, but generous portions), and soon a huge platter is set before you. I ordered a Two Meat Plate with ribs, brisket, corn casserole and pit beans. Ribs: Tender, lovely smoke ring, quite meaty. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the rub, but I liked it. A lot. Nice crust on the exterior. Brisket: So many choices! Lean/fatty (or just maybe the counter guy said, "Lean, Fatty!"), sliced/chopped, prime/choice. Also good crust, smoke line, juiciness. But something was off. See below for further. Sauce: Not nearly as spicy as I like, and a bit bland when tasting off of my finger. However, when applied to the brisket, something magical happened. The best sauce/meat pairing EVER!!!!! My much better half has chicken and pulled pork. Don't know how hers was. Didn't care. Didn't ask. But she ate and didn't yap , so I'm happy. If she sees this, I'm effed. Dessert: Home made Key Lime Pie. Kermit's in Key West, FL LOOK OUT!!!!!! A magnificent meal.

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.
