We had a great experience Chelsea was our waitress and she was great and always had refills ready. We both had the catfish platter. The fish was good and tasted fresh. The jalapeños cornbread is amazing. I wanted to give them 5 stars but I want to come back and try more items before I do that. The prices are a little high in my opinion. read more

Family event & they pulled it off with ease considering we has 35+ people. Food & services were good

Very disappointed. We are Branson locals and have been here several times. We waited 15+ minutes for service and did not even get our drinks. It was not very busy. We watched 2 other tables who came later be served before us. read more

We came here and had a couple of appetizers and dessert. Our bill was $57!! The gator bites were good but small on the portions. The clam chowder was okay. The spinach dip was terrible. And, the chips looked like they came from the Dollar Store. I can't believe they charge $10.25 for it. We were here several years ago and really loved it. It has changed. This is obviously not the same place. The dessert was delicious. And the portion size was great. I upped my stars. read more

AMbiance & view on the water were excellent, our waitress was friendly & attentive however, there weren't many fish choices on the menu for a fish restaurant and the few they had were a tad pricey. My husband & I both ordered fish & chips with a bowl of clam chowder, The chowder had very few clams, it was mor like potato soup. The fish & chips were big pieces served hot but no flavor as well as the cole slaw. The jalapeno corn bread was very good but it couldn't save the rest of the meal. At least we had a good view during dinner. read more

If you are going to call yourself a fish house, the expectation is that you're going to get amazing seafood. First I got the clam chowder and though it was really good, it tasted more like potato soup and occasionally you'd have a bit of clam in it. For my entree, I ordered the fish tacos and in each of my tacos there was only one tiny piece of fish. There was two or three times the amount of coleslaw in it than fish in a flour tortilla. So you really couldn't taste much fish. Someone else in our party wanted the catfish and our waitress said it was pretty bland and didn't suggest it, that struck me odd. Overall, it wasn't bad and the atmosphere was cool but the food definitely lacked! read more

We loved this place. The restaurant was really cool. Great location and service was great. The food was excellent. It does not have much in terms of healthy food but it is a great menu nonetheless. read more

My mother and I came here after traveling around 8 hours from Deep East Texas. We were famished and this was very close to the condo where we stayed! My mother and I both got the fish and chips (beer-battered cod with French fries). They were SO good. The fish was quite greasy, but I didn't mind ONE bit, because the fish had such a good flavor. The fries were delicious. Prior to our main course, they served us complimentary corn bread in a tiny cast iron skillet with a healthy dollop of butter! It was so yummy. Service was great. The hostess and our waitress were very attentive. Our food came out quickly, too! The decor is AMAZING! I wanted to take pictures to get some ideas for my own house! If we find ourselves in Branson again, we will definitely be coming here again! read more

Food is not good!! Service is mediocre. It's all for the looks which are not great either!

Although my friend and I did not receive a greeting when we arrived at either the hostess station or the bar (where we were sent to wait) once the short wait was over, the waiter (young male, wish we would have gotten his name) was very attentive. Our food was OUTSTANDING! The skillet of Jalapeno cornbread was DELICIOUS! Our entrees were equally good. Atmosphere is lovely. I would say the only downfall was the lack of customer service from the minute we walked in. I hate to complain at all, but it was too obvious. I know it is a hard time for employers and employees at this time. Especially in the service industry. Overall, a good experience. Food and service was top notch~ read more

Delicious meal from start to finish. Service was excellent. Try the Islamorada Portofino and follow it with the butter cake. You'll be full but that's what your "dessert stomach" is for. read more

Food was tasty. Daval was incredible! We've been here 2 other times and have been pleased each visit.

Had lunch there today and it was extremely disappointing. This restaurant doesn't even reach the level of mediocre. We had their 'specialty' the trout almandine - the broccoli was cold, the rice was cold and the trout wasn't much better. The carpet around the table was littered with food scraps. Basically disgusting. Server was pleasant. Don't waste your money on this sub par restaurant. read more

The food was overpriced and the portions were too small, my scallops were over seasoned. It was not a good value. The place is nice but I care more for my meal instead read more

White River Fish House - Shrimp and scallops - Seafood Near Me - Branson, Missouri

There was a time right after this restaurant opened, and it was an excellent place to go and enjoy a seafood meal. However, over the last 2 to 3 years, this restaurant has gotten worse and worse. I now refuse to go to this restaurant for a meal and I am a Branson resident. The food is below average, the service Is average and the price is high. read more

Had the Trout Almondine - it was a HUGE trout (both fillets) covered in crushed almonds and sweet almond butter, with a side of green beans. Cornbread was phenomenal. Service was top notch. I ordered a salad with Thousand Island and the server said, "We don't have Thousand Island... but I can make you some." She did! It was awesome! This place definitely goes to the top of my list when I'm back in Branson. read more

GF Review +no gluten free menu +our waitress had to go back and forth to chef to ask (annoying) Get with the program White River, get a gluten free menu for being such a main stream staple in Branson and owned by Bass Pro Shop. However, our waitress was cool socially and the food and drinks came out fast. Ended up getting a grilled trout with potatoes + broccoli which was pretty good. They also serve cornbread at the beginning when you sit down (not gluten free) which the lady loved. Also the interior is pretty cool and the views are awesome. Also you can feed the ducks before you walk in. Cool spot but would love it if they offered a gf menu. read more

We were in town for a friends weekend and wanted to find a lunch spot on the water. We went down to The Landing and just took a walk around and stumbled upon this spot. First, it was a top 10 day. The sun was shining, and we were lucky enough to get one of the last tables on the patio. The view on the water was great, and it was so enjoyable sitting outside. Our server was very good and attentive. We decided to try the fried alligator and it was really very good. The batter was nice and light, but the sauce was a little too sweet that paired with it. I ended up having a burger for lunch with grilled onions and white cheddar. The food was all quite good, and the view put the experience over the top. Definitely would recommend this spot if you're in the area! read more

This restaurant was one of the only places I really wanted to try out of everything here in Branson and I'm extremely disappointed. I've been craving some good fish and chips and out of all the restaraunts in town this place seemed the best based on photos on yelp. Right when we walked in we were greeted by a friendly girl and walked back to our booth. When we got past the front of the restaurant and headed to the tables we started smelling a very strange odor that we just couldn't identify. I was hoping it was just in that area but it continued to stick around by our table as well. There wasn't a lot of people there at lunch time so it wasn't one of the guests it was just something in the restaurant. It smelled musty and dirty, kind of vinegar like even. I can't put my finger on it but whatever the smell was it stuck around the entire time. My husband was bothered by it as well and we ALMOST got up and walked out but decided to stick it out and hope it would go away. It never did. I was covered my nose for a good portion of my visit and left smelling like it. I couldn't shower fast enough. The cornbread they bring to the table tasted fine but wasn't outstanding. Our main dishes were the fish and chips for myself and my husband got the trophy burger. He said his burger wasn't seasoned and was very bland. He said it would have been really good had they seasoned the meat more. My fish and chips looked nothing like the photos i'd seen from previous yelpers. They had lightly coated small pieces of fish. It looked perfect. I was very disappointed to see a plate with two huge pieces of fish that were over battered in my opinion. The fish was extremely greasy. The slaw wasn't good in my opinion but the tarter sauce tasted good. I wouldn't come back. The smell alone had me running for the hills. The fish would be great if it was in smaller pieces to make it more manageable to eat and had less batter on it. We paid $34 before tip and it wasn't worth it at all. Sorry. :l read more

The restaurant itself is very nice inside and has a great view! Their jalapeño cornbread is delicious, however the other food is just okay. As far as the service, the front end was very friendly, although the server was opposite. Overall, it's decent if there's too long of a wait elsewhere. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff (except for the hostess). I love how it is on the lake with all the windows and yhe fireplace. As usual, Johnny knows how to run a business. The food was nicely priced and very well prepared. read more

This is a Bass Pro Shops owned restaurant and situated on the water. So, naturally, it has a really great rustic outdoorsy atmosphere. Lots of antique fishing and hunting stuff decorate the entire place. There is a fish tank as soon as you walk in and at the back of the restaurant is a huge hearth and a living room lounge area. The food is very good (country American themed), and they were very accommodating to my gluten-free/dairy-free kids and wife. read more

Great location to go eat the food was good a little on the pricey side. Drinks were great and service was awesome.

Stayed in the area for a week and this was far the worst place we ate at. Wife had the shrimp. It looked like it came from the frozen food section of the grocery store, seriously. It tasted like it to. I had Fish and Chips. It was ok. Fries were average fries. They bring out cornbread to start you meal and that to was just not special. The Place inside is awesome looking though. Great location. Food - Meh read more

The place was really cool. I loved the decor. Really nice place. I am not a fan of fish but it was Ash Wednesday so my family wanted to eat fish. We were in Branson for a girls vacation. I ordered the trout as did my 2 sisters and mom. They all loved it. I personally thought it was a bit fishy. I ate it with tarter sauce and that helped. As I said, not a big fan of fish so. The rice and broccoli were awesome. The cornbread was amazing. It was served hot in a skillet before the meal. Very nice. read more

White River Fish House - Table window - Seafood Near Me - Branson, Missouri

LIke many J.M. Restaurants, the food is just average (at best) and pricey. But the atmosphere, service, and nature views are great. I'm guessing that is why there are so many 4 and 5 star reviews. Two takeways on the food: 1. They like things sweet 2. Do NOT put that yellow "spread" on your cornbread! read more

July 3rd afternoon - We have been to this restaurant numerous times since moving to Branson. Atmosphere is lovely with a view of the water. Our experience this day was lacking. They were not very busy. Our server was pleasant and accommodating. She seemed a little frazzled though. All our drinks (no liquor) came out a few at a time. One of the children waited at least 25 minutes after everyone else received their drinks. The complimentary cornbread is always a hit with our family. Menu is small compared to before Covid. Don't know if they will ever bring back the full menu. Mac and cheese is Kraft box - we can get this at home. Chicken strips were over cooked and tough. Shrimp was rubbery. Wish I could add something more positive but I can't. It will be a long time before we return. read more

We had a server named Megumi. She was incredibly sweet and helpful despite the busyness of 4th of July. She stayed intentional with her tables and made sure each one was taken care of! She made us out of town folk feel right at home! We will be returning next year! Thank you Bass Pro read more

This was our first meal in Branson. The restaurant is like a throwback to years long gone. It has a very camp like feeling. Our food and service were very good. The service was great, the food was good. We had a nice view of the lake. Due to more limited seating, we had to wait a while to be be seated but the seating area was very comfortable. Check this place out, I bet you like it read more

We were looking for some seafood and so glad we found this spot. The wait was quite lengthy but we think that was due to social distance seating. We were seated by a very nice waitress. Drinks and appetizer of gator bites came promptly. The side of the jalapeño corn bread really stuck out to me. Very good food, nice atmosphere. Little pricey but expected that with a Bass Pro related restaurant. We will be back! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for quit a while....unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the all you can eat fried shrimp and my wife had coconut shrimp...we also had an appetizer of cheese curds and a side of onion rings. The cheese curds we're clumpy and the onion rings were a bit over done. However, my fried shrimp looked like something straight out of a freezer bag....they were extremely flat and not very flavorful. The atmosphere and our waitress were great! Not sure if we will try this restaurant again! read more

Absolutely gorgeous place on the water! The food was great, and I loved the sweet cornbread. I think the only thing that kept a star for me was that we had two pesky flies that wanted to hang out with us as we ate. I do NOT think flies are a problem here. They just seemed to be for us. But the place was beautiful, the server was prompt, and the food was good! read more

When the host sat our party of 10 down we had to ask for another table and he didn't seem happy we asked to move. The table he sat is at had not been cleaned and the floor was a mess. I told him it needed to be cleaned and we wanted to move tables. There were 2 other large party tables right next to us. The food was just okay. I was excited to get the cornbread but it wasn't that hot. My husbands rice and fried potatoes were cold and he asked for new food... she just brought the potatoes. Now... the chocolate chip skillet cookie was TOO DIE FOR!! It was really good! It was mine and my moms bday and they don't do anything for birthdays... but our waitress did bring each of us a cup of ice cream w hot fudge and whipped cream. It cost our 2 entrees and 2 kid meals $100 with drinks, appetizer and dessert w tip! read more

The food was good, the service was so very BAD. If you don't want to be a server go work somewhere else. We where treated so bad like we where bothering them when I asked for salt & pepper. We had a two tables and two different servers the Female was a total B***h, rolling her eyes questioning why my son wanted more salad dressing saying "have you even tasted it ?" Not a plate was pre bussed from either table. We are a family that has worked in the service area for many years, to NOT tip a server isn't something we do. But last night the female server got 0, the male server didn't get near what he would have if he would have even tried to be a good server. We are local, have heard good things about this place, not to sure if we will go back..... read more

Building looks cool from the outside. I won't ever know more than that. Everything you find online says they close at 8:00 on Sunday evening. So we drove over only to find a sign out front saying they close nightly at 7:00. You'd think something like that would be updated, but it wasn't. Makes me doubt their attention to detail in general. read more

The atmosphere is lovely. And we have eaten here on several occasions when traveling to Branson. For this reason, we decided to make a reservation for a large family dinner for 25 people. My husband made the reservation one week prior. The day before, he spoke with Carmen. She asked if we wanted the check to cover alcoholic beverages and food or just food. My husband made it clear the check was supposed to only cover the food. He also spoke to her the day we arrived and made it clear the alcoholic beverages were supposed to be separate. When we entered the restaurant to the rear where we were to be seated, there were not enough seats. A server told some of the people in our party to move away from the fire exit. They told her they had no other place to stand and they were waiting for seats. The server argued with them about whether or not there were enough seats and refused to push another table next to the table to accommodate them. We squeezed together. The food was pretty good, however someone in our group had an allergic reaction to something on her entree after giving specific instructions about her allergy to the person who took her order. When it was time for desserts. I ordered a dessert for my husband and I to share and a dessert for the young lady (special needs) sitting across the table from us. 20-30 minutes later, her dessert had not arrived. This same server argued with me about whether I ordered the dessert. Shortly after the delayed dessert came, the tab came. The alcoholic beverages were included on the tab. I went ahead and paid the tab and added a tip. Then, Carmen came over and asked me if the service was Ok because she thought I left a low tip (I miscalculated - and restaurants usually add the gratuity for a large party). So, I told her about the dessert incident, the allergy and the alcoholic beverages. She sent the server over who told me she was never told the alcoholic beverages were not supposed to be added to the bill. Some of the people had already left. She said she could remove the other beverages for the people left and give them the bill. By then, it was really too late. And people in my party still at the restaurant noticed the conversation. The experience left me with a very unpleasant feeling. It made me very uncomfortable to be called out on what was considered a meager tip and argued with about a request made prior to the dinner. Johnny Morris would be disappointed. read more

White River Fish House - White River Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Branson, Missouri

The White River Fish House is adjacent to the Bass Pro Shops located at the beautiful Branson Landing. Branson Landing is on the waterfront of Lake Taneycomo in downtown Branson. It's actually a floating restaurant on the lake and has pretty scenic views all around. Being a Bass Pro restaurant, it totally has that outdoors feel with a vintage camping and fishing décor all around. They provide complimentary corn bread and we were all pleased with it. They spice it up with jalapeno, so the sweet of the cornbread mixed really well with the heat of the jalapeno. We started off with the Alligator Tails. I never had alligator before so I had no idea what to expect. It was served fried with a special sauce. I would say the texture was similar to fried calamari but tasted like chicken! The batter was flavorsome but a little salty for me. For my main entrée I had the Mahi with Crabmeat. The Mahi Mahi was grilled nicely. I was hoping to see that "lump" of crab meat like the menu mentioned, but instead it was more like a "spread" of crab meat. The lemon chardonnay sauce was a nice touch. It was served with green beans and a rice pilaf. Prices are what you would expect for dining at the Landing. The lake views are wonderful and the waitress was nice and accommodating. If you pay attention you can actually feel the movement of floating on the lake, very cool. Overall it was a nice dining experience. read more
