This place is the best place ever. It even sometimes beats chick fil a. I love this place so much I go here weekly. It is so convenient as you can drive your car, boat, or jet ski, some people even bike there. There are some cool bands and always good music. The view is great as you sit right on the water. You can even feed the wildlife, there are turtles, ducks, fish, and catfish. They have a 100% spawn rate at this spot. The chicken tenders are great and the lemonade is fantastic. Don’t even get me started on the fries. Oh my goodness. These are the absolute best!! You can also gas up your boat. Overall this is an amazing place, please go here.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is so good, fried chicken sandwich and the bbq bacon burger are a must try. They added more boat parking which helps a lot. Only downfall is people usually pull in there to eat after they’ve been on the water drinking all day long and some get a bit obnoxious. But that has nothing to do with the restaurant. Food is made to order so it takes longer than fast food, but it’s worth the wait.

Great food, cold drinks, and a great view of lake from anywhere you sit. The fried shrimp is usually what I get, but don't be afraid to try the rest of the menu, all the food looks tasty.

Stopped here for lunch and some fuel. This is a great part of the lake! So calm and pretty! Our family stopped for lunch here. I had a burger which was great, one kid had grilled shrimp which was very fresh and tasty, the other kid had chicken fingers which were pretty good and my wife had fried shrimp which were really great. The hushpuppy was awesome! We loved sitting on the dock having lunch. Lots of bluegill and turtles come up beside you. We really enjoyed our lunch and will certainly be back!

My boyfriend and I went there last evening and we were pleasantly surprised by the service, food, and location! My boyfriend raved about the hushpuppies and my burger was so good! The Cajun fries were also very delicious. They had live music and watching the sunset on the marina was such a good ending to the weekend. I would 100% recommend going if you’re visiting the Branson area and are looking for a hidden gem!

Had the fried shrimp with hush puppies and fries, steamed shrimp and the 1/4 pound hot dog. Absolutely delicious food made to order. Great music, right on the water, and the tropical drinks and beer were perfect!!! Definitely will be back and would recommend to anyone looking for a great restaurant on Table Rock. Great atmosphere

Great place on the lake for lunch or early dinner. Excellent food and great drinks. Very comfortable and relaxed vibe. Can get very very busy at times. Seating and boat slips are limited.
