We were impressed with restaurant's ambiance and location, built over the water. Entrees were delicious and served fast and hot. Service was excellent. read more

After a very long drive to get to Branson, my wife and I found this place. It was about twenty minutes before closing, but they said that we were welcome to come on in and eat. The restaurant looks great inside and out. The landscaping is immaculate and the interior is well decorated in its bass pro theme. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was comfortable. Our server wasn't thrilled to have another customer. She came to the table, asked a quick question and then rushed off. We couldn't ask questions. She took our orders and did a good job with accuracy. Although we had to ask for a couple of things twice. She brought the jalapeno cornbread, and it was excellent! We ordered a skillet spinach dip. It was not impressive. It was brought in a small shallow dish. There wasn't much of it, especially for the price. On top of that, it was loaded with some sort of hot spice. Way too much. The chips were over cooked. We ordered catfish dinners. The fries and slaw were good. Lots of fries and a very small dish of slaw. Two thin slices of catfish with a very thick coating of breading. The "homemade" tartar sauce was runny and tasted more like ranch dressing than tartar sauce. The dish was hot and fresh, but was a real disappointment for the price. I ordered an Ozarks iced tea cocktail and a glass of water. The cocktail was watery and tasted like cough syrup. It smelled like perfume. I was glad I had asked for water. There was no manager around to speak to. The server was in such a rush we couldn't ask her for assistance. I understand this is a tourist attraction, but even people on vacation expect a lot more for their money. An appetizer, two catfish dinners and a cocktail for $80? It better be good, especially with so much competition. This place looks great, but you can do a whole lot better for the price. Especially in Branson! read more

Terrible food it was raw we saw people next to us and they had their steak raw I thought they were just complaining but no they were right. And my drink was left on the counter and it was watered down by the time I got it. That just shows how slow the service was but the inside was nice I did like it before I got my food and drink. And I ordered a burger and it took forever to come out and my family got catfish and it tasted raw so they didn't want to eat it and we were on vacation so I was hoping for a nice restaurant but no don't ever eat here read more

Food was very good. I had catfish the wife had a cob salad. Our waitress was very nice. We even used our Cabela card to get points. This place is built on a barge over the water which makes it somewhat unique. Highly recommend. read more

Very run of the mill. Unseasoned. Just "meh". Table sticky. Flies bothersome. Would not return. Service was excellent though. read more

Used to be good. The cornbread used to be so good but now it's dry and tasteless. The meals we had were nothing to write home about. You would think they would look at the reviews and change the cornbread back to the way it was read more

The food was great (included complementary jalepeno cornbread). The service was timely and friendly. The view was peaceful (right on the river). A wonderful lunch! read more

Where do I start? Came here to support a Family member. My first time in Missouri. The food options, were basic. But, when I looked up White River Fish House...I seen it was on water and had some really good seafood options. OMG! My family and I, loved the outside, inside and the waves crashing underneath the Restaurant! Machkenly was such a wonderful hostess! Such a sweetie and so very professional! My family, and I all ordered something different. Calamari, fish and chips and the mahi mahi meal. The food was EXCELLENT! The ambiance and service was perfect for an on the lake restaurant. If, and when I come back to Branson. This place is a must! Oh wait? The sweet tea!! Delicious!!!! read more

White River Fish House - Amazing Food!!! - Seafood Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Interesting old sportsman decor. Staff pretty friendly and attentive. Grilled trout was very good, but I questioned the natural ess if the pink color. My salad suffered from a surfeit if cranberries and almond slices. The cheese gave it a mushy texture as well, but the salmon topping was good. read more

Food was delicious. The inside has a great view but you have to get over the musty smell that accompanies an old building on the water. Service was surprisingly slow, even though we dined mid-day with a small number of other tables. We all ordered fish and it was cooked perfectly. read more

The location on the river was lovely. The food was good. We had the salmon dinner with the waffle fries and a salad, the chicken sandwich, the chowder and the seasonal cobbler. Presentation for the chowder and cobbler were excellent. read more

My grilled shrimp was pretty good a bit overcooked but flavor was good. My wife's brown sugar glazed salmon was dry & overcooked with NO glaze whatsoever. Service was ok but not great. For price of the meal it was definitely NOT WORTH IT ! On next trip 2 Branson we will definitely NOT b going back. read more

My husband said it was the best meal he ever ate. Wonderful staff, waitress was the best. Food is delicious. Was a little hard to find yet so worth it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you read more

The view of the Taneycomo makes for a wonderful lunch. The restaurant is in the expected decor of Johnny Morris. It's eclectic, well presented and rustic. The service was friendly, professional and efficient from the host to the server. I was there with my husband and another couple. Everyone raved about how their meal was creative and flavorful. We definitely will be back and look forward to another amazing meal! read more

Went here for lunch with Hubby and a friend. Hubby had really wanted to go because he had heard good reviews. I was underwhelmed. Disappointing that they don't offer a lunch menu (even on weekdays). We ordered meals - I got the fried shrimp and fries. It also came with coleslaw. The food was nothing special. Like something you could heat up in the oven at home. The prices are high for average food. They do have jalapeno cornbread served at the table and that was tasty! Hubby got shrimp tacos and did enjoy them. Our server checked in and made sure all was well. She was friendly and helpful. read more

First I'd like to thank this restaurant for agreeing to sit my family party of 10. We came in not realizing they were closing so soon, and the servers were sweet enough to say they could squeeze us in! We drove from Arkansas to go to Silver Dollar City, and after a day of rides, we were exhausted and very hungry. The service was great. We ordered crawfish tails and jalapeño cornbread. Me, not a fan of spicy things, I wasn't too excited to taste it, but after my dad suggested I did, I was happily surprised at how delicious (and non spicy) it was! I had ordered the shrimp Bonetti, and it was spectacular. I loved the decor to pieces it made me feel like I was at someone's vacation home on the lake. The outside was super cool as well, with the fog from the hot and cold air mixing. Next door, they had ziplining, which was really neat as well. read more

The clam chowder and fish and chips are our favorite in Branson. We are on a diet, so I asked for a salad instead of the chips.We love the jalapeno corn bread. The server was quick and attentive. The atmosphere and eating on a restaurant on the river is such a treat. We will be going back again and again Oh don't forget the cobbler. read more

While the service and place was super cute, one of my s/o's parents thought the salmon was dry and my s/o was ok with with his meal. I had the clam chowder and, even my s/o thought it was the best out of everything. I would definitely go for the view, the service and the location. read more

Service was excellent. Kristy promptly acknowledged our group. She kept the drinks refreshed And checked in on us. There were two things that could have been better. The salmon dish was terribly over cooked and it would have helped to have removed dirty dishes. read more

We enjoyed the food and service. The inside is a must see for those of us born in the 1960s. Rachel was the most energetic waitress we had on vacations. Food prices were fair enough for both of us to get our own meal. We didn't need that much food but boy was it good. Thanks to the whole team. Mn read more

So wanted catfish and did a search and this place came up as one of the best in Branson. I was not impressed. You get complimentary cornbread, it's ok not great. Catfish was disappointing. I guess I want mine cooked more crispy. And without tasting like dirt. Shrimp were ok, not great. The best thing was the sweet tea. Oh well! read more

Below average food not worth the prices. We had a party of 6 with a variety of orders. The best meal was the trout almandine with rice pilaf. The sweet cornbread at the beginning of the meal was the standout, everyone enjoyed. Fish and chips was ok but had a thick breading. Mahi platter was too salty to eat, it was covered in a salty sauce, just awful. That about sums it up. Bland, meh food. I would skip this place. read more

In town for the Crappie Masters, we ended up eating here three of our four nights. Service was a bit odd, but the food was pretty standard for a BPS restaurant. read more

White River Fish House - Sweet jalapeño Corn Bread and Iced Tea - Seafood Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Pretty good food overall. Had trout almondine, would have been better with maybe a lemon sauce rather than burnt butter that was put on with a scoop. Kids ordered shrimp and crawfish, said the breading was way too thick. Husband didn't care for the ribs, said they were very fatty. Broccoli was very good. read more

The decor is amazing, service was good (it wasn't real busy and our waitress forgot a few things but nothing major) and the food was outstanding. read more

Had lunch there on 1.13.25. Arrived early and the manager saw us outside in the cold weather. He invited us inside to sit next to the fire for 10 minutes prior to opening for business. This was a very thoughtful gesture. Food was great, service was prompt and our server was very cordial (was her name Faith???). Anyway, it's the Branson strip and most everything is a bit expensive so we considered Fish House a respectable value and enjoyed the entire experience. read more

Server was rude at first until we decided to get her out of it. :-/. Food was average at best (shrimp, key lime pie). View was incredible! Seated our party of two at a table for 8 even though the restaurant was 98% empty. Doubt we would go back. read more

Unassuming from the outside - hell, the outside actually looks a little scary. When you get inside, it's largely an older clientele, but that's ok. Our server (Angel) was exactly that. She treated us great, and we could not have asked for more. When we asked what was in the smoked fish dip, she brought us a sample - it's totally worth ordering. The salads were great, the blackened fish and shrimp was incredibly tasty, and the cheese curds were wonderful. Unfortunately, the cornbread was dry and lacked flavor and moisture, and the famous fish sandwich was a huge disappointment. It was basically a dry and grilled version of a McD filet o' fish. Overall, fun place with mostly decent food. read more

Food and service were great! Enjoyed the scenic view while dining. Would definitely return on our next trip to Branson.

I would definitely come back to this restaurant again! We loved looking at all the decorations in the restaurant and walking around the place. Our table was right next to the window looking out on the river. We ordered the gator bites for the appetizer--very tender and perfectly fried. We also ordered the catfish, the almond-crusted trout, the ribs, and the shrimp pasta. The portions were not very big, but they came packed with flavor. I've read some of the reviews criticizing the price and portion size. However, this is a nice restaurant located at a prime scenic location, so it is not really a surprise that the price point is higher. We came into the restaurant with that mindset, so we weren't expecting big portion sizes for cheap prices. And we were absolutely not disappointed. Really looking forward another visit to this restaurant next time we're in Branson! read more

Another great place to eat here in Branson. They use texting to notify you when your table is ready. This way you can social distance and wait outside, if you wish, and talk with privacy until your table is called. Every table gets a plate of fresh, warm corn bread to eat while waiting for your meal to arrive. The New England Clam Chowder was hot and couldn't have tasted better. We had the Fish and Chips and the Catfish Entree. Both were excellent and filled us up completely. We will definitely return on our next visit to Branson. read more

Good things first, the staff was awesome. The Blueberry Mojito was awesome. My husband and I both ordered the Shrimp Bonetti. My husband thought it tasted fine, but it has no taste, no salt, the herbed tomato sauce was not herbed and very minimal. The parmesean cream sauce was too light as well. My shrimp weren't fully cooked and were grey in the middle. The jalapeño corn bread that my granddaughter loved the first time was so dry it crumbled when you tried to cut it. We chose to sit on the deck, the poor wait staff were fighting broken doors on both ends of the deck. One poor waitress was taking in dirty dishes on the other en of the deck and tried to open the door. The door didn't budge and her moment from trying to open it caused her to loose her balance and the tray loaded with dirty dishes came crashing to the floor. Another server was bringing out a meal and the door stuck when it was halfway open causing her to drop a heavily loaded tray. Another waitress tried to come out with food and the door would not open. I grabbed ahold of the door and pulled with all of my strength (and considerable weight) to open it for her. Everyone on the deck felt sorry for the poor wait staff. One of the bussers let it slip that they had been having issues with the doors. I know the owners can afford to fix or replace those doors immediately. Do something to make things easier for your wonderful wait staff. Also give them a cart to roll dirty dishes in on. You got 3 stars thanks to your wonderful wait staff. Your food doesn't deserve any stars. read more

Sean, our server was great! Very attentive! The food was underwhelming for the most part. The fried alligator was really good...the best thing we ordered. It came with a sauce made with cream cheese, jalapeño and simple syrup. Really good! The salad was okay, nothing special but it's hard to mess up a salad lol. We ordered the shrimp bonetti and clam chowder. The chowder was only warm and the shrimp tasted like pizza sauce which neither of us cared for. The interior was nice. We may come back for a drink and some gator but probably won't have a full meal here. read more

Was not terribly busy but they "seemed busy"! The shrimp tacos where lettuce/coleslaw tacos topped with 3 shrimp- not normal shrimp tacos! Didn't eat 1 and 3/4 so when they asked I told them The truth! The tacos where lettuce tacos with shrimp on top- not easy to eat or enjoy at all! Try it sometime, put the shrimp on top of a lot of lettuce in a soft shell that crumbles. Not good- not $18 worth!!!!had shrimp tacos at Tequila's the other night and they were excellent! Manager took our soda off -which we drank and enjoyed. And had us pay for the $18 shrimp taco. Not impressed! Darn it... I love Bass Pro;/ read more

The food was absolutely incredible! We had coconut shrimp, fish and chips (sub sweet potato fries), and ISLAMORADA PORTOFINO. I don't have anything but amazing things to say about the taste of the food! Our server was kind and helpful and helped to make our meal enjoyable! I loved that we could see the water from our table! Definitely a 10/10 experience. The complimentary cornbread was delicious too! If I had to give one critique it would be that the appetizer coconut shrimp only came with 6 shrimp. But they were a good size and it was just an appetizer, so I'm not really sure that's a problem. They're just so good you're going to want more! We will definitely go back next time we are in Branson! read more

The restaurant sits on the river with windows all the way around. Fisherman's Wharf kind of atmosphere. The view is pretty enough in the summer, so I can imagine the brilliant display of color when Fall arrives. I've eaten here a few times and each time the consensus seems to be the same; if you order fish or seafood, it's delicious, everything else is just kinda meh. The staff is great; always friendly and attentive. The 'complimentary' cornbread is scrumptious!!! Just up the hill is The Landing. I mention this because you will definitely want to walk off dinner!! read more
