Flaming Margaritas at the Landing (3015 W 76 Country Blvd, Branson, MO 65616)…read more There's plenty of parking near the Landing if you don't feel like walking. No reservations here, so it's first come, first served. Our waitress, Madison, was awesome from start to finish with drinks, menu help, and just great, relatable conversation! My guy started with a dragonfruit, peach, and mango margarita that she recommended, while I got a blackberry one. I didn't realize all the margaritas came out flaming, so it was cool that even my single-flavor one, with edible flowers, was on fire! The booze-to-ice ratio was perfect. We went on the hottest weekend ever, so a nice, cold, huge cocktail was super refreshing! For food, I got the BLACKENED GRILLED SALMON (Atlantic salmon filet, blackened and served with jalapeño creamy corn and asparagus). This was probably the best blackened salmon I've had all year. The lighter-colored asparagus threw me off a bit, but it was really good, and that jalapeño creamy corn? I'm totally making that at home because it was so good! My guy had the prime ribeye with caramelized onions and bacon jam. The steak was the star of his order. So good! The manager also stopped by our table to see how we were doing and was so kind to offer us a dessert coupon for their location on 76. I hope we can go back when it's not summer so we can sit outside on their beautiful patio!

Sometimes the Memory Is Better Left Alone: A Disappointing Return to Sparky's Roadhouse…read more I remembered Sparky's Roadhouse as a place of great burgers, familiar surroundings, and happy family memories. When I finally returned to the Eureka Springs restaurant after many years away, I expected to rediscover that same experience. Instead, the visit quickly showed me how far the Sparky's of today seemed to have fallen from the one I had cherished. After many years away, my wife and I recently had the opportunity to return to Sparky's. I was genuinely excited about it. I remembered the restaurant as a fun, casual Eureka Springs favorite with great burgers, a unique atmosphere, and the kind of personality that made you look forward to coming back. Unfortunately, the Sparky's I visited this time bore very little resemblance to the restaurant I remembered. The disappointment started with the menu. The selection seemed diminished from what I remembered, and what was once an easy decision because so many things sounded good became a struggle to find something that interested me. I ultimately went with a burger, thinking that at least I could revisit one of the things I remembered and loved most about Sparky's. That nostalgia disappeared when the burger arrived. The burger seemed surprisingly small compared with what I remembered from years ago. More importantly, it simply wasn't very good. I would describe it as mediocre at best. It wasn't necessarily the worst burger I've ever had, but that almost made the experience more disappointing. This was Sparky's, a place where I remembered the burgers being something worth talking about. What I received this time was forgettable and nothing like the burgers that had helped make the restaurant a favorite of mine and my family years ago. The service unfortunately did nothing to improve the experience. On this visit, I found it inattentive and frustrating to the point that I would describe it as dismissive at best. A restaurant can sometimes overcome an average meal through friendly, attentive service and genuine hospitality. That wasn't my experience here. Even more concerning to me was the condition of the restaurant itself. During our visit, the seating and countertops appeared dirty, and there were numerous flies throughout the interior dining area. The overall environment simply did not give me the impression of the cleanliness and attention to detail I expect from a restaurant. One of the food items also did not taste right to me, which, combined with what I was observing around the dining area, made it difficult to enjoy the meal. I recognize that restaurants change. Menus evolve, ownership and employees may change, costs increase, and the restaurant industry has faced challenges that didn't exist years ago. I also understand that a single visit represents a snapshot in time and may not reflect every customer's experience or every day of operation. But that doesn't change the disappointment of this particular visit. I returned to Sparky's hoping to reconnect with a place tied to some of my family's happiest memories. Instead, the meal, service, and condition of the restaurant made it clear that the Sparky's I remembered exists only in the past. Nostalgia had preserved it perfectly, but returning replaced that warm memory with disappointment. For that reason, I won't be returning... not because the past meant nothing, but because it meant too much to risk revisiting it again. Sometimes the best way to preserve a cherished memory is to leave it where it belongs: in the past.

This is the quintessential Ozarks comfort food restaurant! It has the ambiance and feel of the…read moreOzarks even though it's owned and run by fellow Oklahomans! The chicken fried steak is the best. Not greasy. Huge! The gravy is on point. We tried the cream cheese corn and I'd have to say that I thought the green beans are better. The onion rings are incredible! The mashed potatoes are very good. The service is good. The only issue we had was that we had ordered a side order of onion rings. When a huge basket came out, I asked if this was the side order and the waitress quickly commented that she had put it in as a side order but that they sent a whole order. She said she would adjust it but when she brought the check she said that she took off 10%. Quickly doing the math, the basket we were charged for was $11 while the side order is $5. 10% didn't come close and we barely made a dent in the basket of delicious rings. The live music was nice but they might need to tell the entertainer that it isn't meant to be a show, just background. He doesn't need to be the center of everyone's meal. Local Flavor is a must try! You won't be disappointed.

The decor is kind of "let's build a deck on the hill and see how many people we can seat!" There are some cool decor throughout, but it is the multi-tier decking that steals the show, until you taste the pizza! There is a taste I love where the dough, sauce, and ingredients merge together to become one and this has it! Yes I like the individual flavors, but these pizzas take those to a new new level! I tried 3 different pizzas for the large party we had and it was the same on all! I know there are some that want this or that dominating the pizza flavor, but this thin NY style chewy crust stretchy cheese pizza is FANTASTIC! Price was great and so is the service! Staff was over the top for new patrons! I really wish we could cone this for Dallas! I know of just the hillside!
