Disappointing experience. The food was marginal, barely warm, no taste. The wait staff worked hard and did a good job. I would not recommend this to anyone. read more

Stay away from this place, seriously. We stopped in on a Tuesday a few minutes after noon and even though only one other table was being used we had to wait nearly five minutes to be seated. Not a good start. We all decided on cheeseburgers since everything was priced higher than we would normally spend on lunch and the kids meals are priced ridiculously high compared to what other places charge. The burgers were on the small side, not as big as what you would get at other restaurants. We did however get a few laughs from the menu as they served "stakes" instead of steaks and the children's meal inlcuded a drink they called "milke". The only thing that keeps me from giving it one star was the waiter, Tony. He was very friendly and always kept our glasses full. read more

Friendly service, good food and friendly prices too! One of the only places you can go that they don't think they have to make a fortune on drinks. I would recommend to my friends! read more

This is your basic southern restaurant with...well, what it serves is stated in the name. We ordered both with a side of coleslaw and cheese curds. The catfish was fresh (not frozen) and a thicker cut than a lot of other restaurants we've been to. We personally prefer bone in catfish, but this was still good. The chicken wings were judged to be incredible by my husband. He likes it just cooked and very moist, and that is what he got along with a pretty tasty jamaican sauce. The coleslaw was good though you got a meager amount. The hushpuppies were house made, and fine. The cheese curds were...well, i thought that cheese curds were a natural by-product of the cheese making process. These appeared to be american cheese...and we all know that's not cheese. Skippable. So the food was average, but what makes this place stand out is that the experience is just so...organic. Though it was not that busy for a Friday night, I could see that locals come here to enjoy the atmosphere. There was a country duo onstage that was getting a few of the locals to rip it up on the dance floor. People were just hanging out, enjoying their evening. I really had fun. The restaurant has a bit of an unfinished quality to it. Perhaps b/c it only recently opened. There were plastic tubs lying on the tables, and the space seemed quite large for its function. The staff had not been completely trained yet. Our server forgot our silverware, and took a long time even getting us napkins. It's likely that she had no waiting experience. I would think that this restaurant will gain popularity as it works out the wrinkles and some lackluster items on the menu. We would def consider returning for the music and atmosphere. Reasonably priced considering that it is Branson and you are getting live entertainment. O, a little quirk with the menu that I forgot to mention: There is an entire indian page. I didn't consider ordering it b/c it was a bit expensive and...well, come on. Catfish and Wings is what we came here for. read more

DON'T EAT HERE. My family and I ate here during Labor Day weekend. We all got the buffet. ($35 per person This was not on the menu or mentioned.). Most of the buffet was salad and pudding. As far as the seafood most of it was fried to include coconut shrimp that was very dry. Also my wife said the crab cakes were dry as well. They had snow crab but there was only one or two clusters in the pan each time I went to the buffet. Very disappointed. If you want to spend this kind of money just go to Landrys just up the road. read more

Could you find a more interesting place to eat? Probably. Could you find better food elsewhere? Most likely. Would I have left to do either? NO! The Catfish and the Buffet are terrific, the live music adds a nice touch, but what I liked more than anything else, was the service and the overall feel of the place. It was COMFORTABLE and FRIENDLY and I felt like I was a guest for supper at a relative's house. The lady that made me feel that way, Dixie, was very accommodating and extremely personable and in my book, that makes up for a lot of things they may not be. I will happily go back. read more

We walked inside before reading the reviews. Then we saw the reviews and got nervous. It was 1230 on Friday and we were the only people there for lunch. Another bad sign. The staff, who we had all to ourselves, were very friendly and attentive. Some of our party had the buffet and said it was good. I had the catfish and it was great. My wife had the coconut shrimp and it was great. So, other than an empty big restaurant, the food was really good. read more

My wife and I ate here while we were staying at a nearby motel. We both had the 13.99 buffet and thought it was fantastic. The catfish was crisp and well seasoned, great salad bar, and so many items from which to choose. I love corn nuggets and they had good ones - also thought the fried okra, corn on the cob and french fries were excellent. The food was fresh and at the correct temperature. The greeter was very nice, the waitress was efficient and they had a very good vocalist for live entertainment. A very pleasant surprise. read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant. The food had been sitting under lights for quite some time and it was not quality food. My Wife and I got the identical same thing which is a buffet each and a water and I paid for both separately because of my business account. They charged my wife more for hers than they charged me for mine. The host was not nice but rude. There was only a couple of people at this Resturant eating when we walked in which is usually a bad sign of a bad Resturant. It was 7 PM prime time dinner hour. We were disappointed to say the least and will not be returning. read more

Four of us stopped at the Wheelhouse at about 6 PM. We ordered drinks, and the onion rings and homemade potato chips as appetizers. The onion rings were fine; the potatoes a bit soggy. I would comment on the dinner, but we never got it. After about a half hour we told the waitress we had a 7:30 show. Again about 15 minutes later we reminded her. After a little more than an hour without our dinners, we paid for what we had gotten and walked out. The restaurant was not particularly busy, so we could not understand why there was an issue. Each time we asked we were told it would be right out, but dinner never appeared. There was never an explanation. The menu is typical southern roadhouse with a weird exception: there's an Indian menu. Since I'm rarely with people who would go to an Indian restaurant and I love Indian food, that's what I ordered. I would guess the "chef" (if they have one) is from South Asia. Alas, I cannot comment on the quality of that food... read more

Don't go here! They suggested we eat in the bar for better service, but that didn't happen. The margarita I had tasted like sweet and sour only, the beef brisket was dry and cut with the grain so it was tough and 3 thin pieces. The loaded baked potato just came with bacon bits and shredded cheese not melted. My husband wanted the butter and sour cream, but the waiter never came back to the table. The ribs were done but wouldn't come off the bone. The onion rings appetizer had a thick hush puppy batter on it which made it very doughy and not much onion taste. The deep-fried cheeseburger is a novelty only, tasted like fried bread. The food was not hot when served. read more

Buffet was average, service was splendid. Granted we were 1 of only 3 couples there. I'm the kind of guy who loves to be asked several times if things are going well. The waiter really seemed to care. The only reason for 4 stars is it was a bit more then I expected to pay 13/per and the bathroom locks didn't work. There was also no paper towels, otherwise typical and delicious buffet. read more

They might've been friendly but he food wa snot even average. My wife, son and I got food poisoning from eat there and ruined our entire vacation. Should've known when there was only 2 other tables there. And this was at rush hour. But holy hell did we all 3 get sick from their food. read more

Drive on by the Wheelhouse 07/09/14 We are locals and enjoy getting out and trying new places that we can go back and take out of town guests to...should of skipped this one. The prices are on the high end and the food is very mediocre. My husband had the 2 pc catfish, it came with 2 sides and 2 hushpuppies for a little less than $13.00. It was nothing special, for the serving size price should of been around $7 or $8. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich for about $8.00. It was one of those frozen formed patties, where you can taste the grease in every bite. The sandwich had no dressing on it, just tomato and lettuce. There was no waitress around to ask for mayo, until we were half way through the meal. McDonald's $1.00 chicken sandwich is a lot better than this $8.00 sandwich. Will not be back. read more

Not That of Good boneless wings and good deep Fried burger and catfish sandwich .....................

Omg! You cannot beat 13.99 for a buffet with catfish, shrimp, fried chicken and soooo much more! The food and service was fantastic! We will definitely visit again when in town. Amazing! read more

Honestly, this place is horrible!!! The place says "Catfish and Wings" but you get in there and they have a whole page of Indian food. Ok, I was a bit weirded out that I was the only person in the place and the waitress was a bit slow. But after talking to her, I found out she is only 15 and this is her first job. I asked about the fish and she was not real confident to tell me it was good, but did tell me the cooks were Indian and that is why there was a page of Indian food and that it is good. Since I love Indian food and live in Denver with GREAT authentic food, I decided to go for it. Well it is highly over priced for what you get and terribly disappointing. We ate there at 3pm in the afternoon. My small chicken birani was not good at all was 13.99 and the NaN bread was burnt. My son got a cheeseburger. He is 5 and loves burgers, would not eat it. Told me it was the worst cheeseburger ever. My husband has always told me not to enter a restaurant if im the only one in there. i know why i will follow that advice in the future!!! read more

Omg. this is the worst place in Branson!! I wish I would of seen the reviews before we walked in!!!!!!! We knew when tables were getting up and leaving it was a bad sign. We had our 3 kids and our bill came to 70.00...for next to nothing. And it was gross.... ugh... We felt like we flushed 75.00 down the toilet. We were staying at the Radisson and thought the traffic was horrible so lets eat somewhere close before our show was starting... WE ate at Wheelhouse Friday night July 19, 2013. at 6pm. the place should of been full not 5 tables.Bad choice.. We ate at Farm house the night before, Saturday night and Sunday night. Best mom and pop place in Branson. We will eat there again when we return at Labor Day ....Farmhouse wins. Hands down!!! read more
