“ By the time we got there, they were set to close in one minute. As soon as I got out of the car, the smell was delictable. I was disappointed we weren't going to be able to try the food, but ran in to hopefully grab a slice of the Mile High Key Lime Pie. Boy, did I luck out! They had an order of burnt ends and a rack of ribs left. Holy Toledo! Definitely the best bbq I've eaten in Branson. The smoke ring and bark on the ribs was wonderful, and their seasoning was sooo good. The ribs were super juicy and DELICIOUS. My family went bonkers over the burnt ends as well ... and that Pie is perfection! A little sweet, a little sour, and great texture. ”
“ This is the BEST BBQ in Branson!!!! We were so blessed when we walked in after closing and asked if they had any left overs they could sell. The lovely chef and waitress put together some supper for us!!! The brisket, pork, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and corn bread are PHENOMENAL- all made from scratch!!! My 8-year old wants me to give a special shout out, “God thank you for blessing us with this meal. Please bless those kind people who got us the food.” We will make it a point to stop here EVERYTIME we come through town!!! ”
“ Key lime pie was amazing. Presentation was beautiful. Bbq reminded me of home. Moist and delicious. Corn bread pudding and Mac and Cheese was to die for. Felt like home cooking from my Grammy. Would come back again! ”
“ THE BEST Prime Brisket in my life. Brisket is so tender and juicy. My kids ate it all so fast. We have to order to go for me to eat another round at the hotel. Everything is excellent!!! Great food and excellent service. Thank you. Highly recommend it. Can’t wait to come back again. ”
“ Unsuspecting joint that looks like it's part of a gas station, which adds to the fun of it! Lots of nice outdoor seating surrounding the smoker so it smells divine outside. The food was tremendous. Biggest baked potato I've ever seen. The kids portions are good sized and not skimpy. The key lime pie fed my family of 5. One slice is on par with The Cheesecake Factory size. Clean bathroom, gluten free friendly! A must visit! ”
“ We try the BBQ wherever we travel and so we had to make a stop into Old 76 Smokehouse. They give our favorite Texas BBQ joints a run for their money. The brisket was perfect, with a very nice bark. Probably one of my favorites. The spare ribs were perfectly cooked. Boyfriend loves them, I would have like some sweetness in the rub but that's just a personal preference, they were very tasty so no complaints from me. The sausage is made in house. I think my boyfriend was in love. I think their sides outdo just about every bbq place we've been to. We had a very creamy coleslaw and the corn casserole was addictive. I could go in for just that. We also had some great bread pudding. It was nicely decorated and had a great patio to the side. Definitely is a must try for bbq fans. ”
“ Don't sleep on this place. From the outside it looks like a whole in the wall, but inside it is clean and cozy. We tried the ribs, brisket, pit beans, corn casserole, and a naked baked potato. The que was DELICIOUS! The ribs were tender, juicy and flavorful. The brisket was equally as good. Sides were excellent. Stop in and get you some! ”
“ First time here, it was good, had the pulled pork and it was loaded with pork, more than I could eat, and the pork rinds are amazing and made while you wait. Wife had the loaded baked potato and she really enjoyed it and the portions are good. Grandson had chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese and said it was good and he is picky. The food was great, no complaints. The seating, inside is limited, it’s a small place with very good food, and there is some patio seating outside. Parking lot is small and tight, this would be great for small groups of 4 to 6, or to get take out. ”
