This location never disappoints. The menu is diverse and offers a wide array of unique options that other locations in Branson do not offer. The service is wonderful and prompt. The gator is always a win. Come check this place out and enjoy the tribute to the armed forces.

We’ve been here twice as we are local. First time we were there they weren’t busy and we had an excellent meal and excellent service. Second time we were there they were busy, although not packed, and our service was okay but not great and our food was mediocre. My husband had a Ribeye that he said was very good. I had a chicken breast that was extremely tangy although incredibly tender. My son had a filet that he ordered medium and it came out mostly rare and his girlfriend had catfish and she stated it was good. My son and I both ordered green beans for sides. Those came out as we were finishing our meal. Our waitress was doing a good job but she was so busy we could not even order a second round of drinks. Personally the best item we had was the onion blossom that we had been given a coupon for to try comped and then ultimately was charged to our bill. I really think they have a good thing going here and we will be back but if the waitresses are that busy perhaps they need more. And I think attention to detail is super important. My son should have sent his steak back but did not and we certainly should have received our green beans sides with our meal.

Great service! Daughter loves oysters Rockefeller, so we had to try this place! They were wonderful! Along with it, we had the Aussie sampler that included gator on it, mahi mahi, and chicken wings. Very friendly and atmosphere was great!

Overall, a solid spot for a steak dinner in Branson. My wife had the steak and potatoes, which were cooked just right, while I went with the mushroom Swiss burger—juicy and full of flavor. The onion blossom was a standout appetizer, perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and the atmosphere had that laid-back, rustic charm. A dependable choice if you’re craving steak or a hearty meal.

The food was great, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was enjoyable. There was also a performer singing and playing guitar the evening we were there. The portions were large enough we had leftovers. We would go back again.

My son and I were enjoying the day together, and decided to stop somewhere nice for lunch. Our initial attempt at Craig’s treehouse was unsuccessful due to an hour long wait for food. They were trying their best, but clearly short on staff. We decided to walk to the nearby Outback Steak & Oyster Bar, and I’m so glad we did! We were greeted by a friendly host, and seated outside on a great patio. The walls were painted with the most beautiful murals. My koala-obsessed little girl is going to love this place and I’ll most definitely return so she can experience it. But, it wasn’t just the atmosphere that was great! The service was attentive and quite exceptional, the menu items were unique and fun (my son ordered a gator po boy) the food was delivered quickly, hot and fresh, and we were even visited by a manager -twice- to make sure we were pleased with the experience. This place sits off the road, so I’m not sure it gets the attention it deserves, but I highly recommend people give it a try!

Our waitress was so sweet! The owner came by and made sure everything was fine and gave my group of friends and I complimentary card for a free entree next time Food was SO good! Fried gator is a must to try. The artichoke dip was yummy! Can’t wait to come back and try another item off menu.

I used to go here many years ago when I lived in Branson and always liked it but it never seems to make it to list when I come back to visit family. Well we went to celebrate a birthday and it was just an amazing evening. The service was a tad bit slow but when I say tad, I mean we did notice but quickly noticed how extremely busy and talented the server was. She was working the bar, bar area and the patio BUT still impressively made rounds to all the tables, better than the majority of restaurants we go to with many servers. Food came out hot and fresh. Every meal was as expected and very good. I had the filet, boyfriend had chopped steak and mom had sirloin, all cooked well and tasty. We did start with a shareable that had chicken tenders, alligator, shrimp and mushrooms. I loved the batter they used. They really have perfected their alligator. Much better than places I've been in the larger cities. The server was friendly as she moved quickly from table to table, she seemed like she enjoyed her job. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio, which was screened in and had a nice little gas fire going in the middle which made it such a nice, relaxing dinner. We definitely will go back.
