Flaming Margaritas at the Landing — Restaurant in Branson

The atmosphere on the patio for a spring night was great despite most of the fireside tables( including ours) being broken. It was right by the water and a great view. Our server was attentive and very nice. With that said; we will not be back. We spent $300+ on the most subpar meal of our life. We talked to the manager about the poor quality and we're told " you just don't get it". We got the dozen raw oyster for $30 for the dozen, average nothing to boast about. The horseradish was a tiny splash mixed in cocktail sauce with a couple lemons on the side. No homeade house sauce or anything special, a little steep on price for size and quality. Next, we each got a 12 oz ribeye that came with " special mash" potatoes and chefs veggies. And added a house salad for $5. We asked for Pittsburgh style cooking ( for $40 bucks a piece we thought it wouldn't be a big deal). No one knew what this meant. So we ultimately asked for medium rare. The steaks came out grey outside seeming steamed and med rare inside with ZERO seasoning tasting previously frozen. No char, seasoning, or natural ribey flavor. We hardley ate any steak. But the kicker was when we told the i'm assuming manager the veggies, steak, and instant tasting potatoes had no flavor and tasted bad he said we just didn't have the right palate, and didn't like French style cooking..... at an "American style restaurant". We were ready to leave. We live in Springfield, work in Branson and were looking forward to a nice dinner, well our dogs got some food for a pretty dime, not us. The other location on 76 has all the flavor, not this excuse of one. Just a cash grab...

Food was ok...we ordered the lobster tacos...small portions and nothing to rave about, esp for $38 for 3 street size tacos. We were just in Key West and their $20 full size lobster tacos with all the trimmings and sides were so much better, we spent $71 including tip, on 1 order of tacos and 1 small margarita...table of rowdy un supervised kids next to us....was our main reason for ordering small for quick exit...just not worth the hype. We literally left to go find an authentic taco shop with better atmosphere and better prices and food. I will say the jalapeño margarita was good but nit sure worth the $15 price tag....I enjoyed the free moonshine next door more EDIT UPDATE: we Gave it another try....much better experience. Still on the pricey side, but we ordered a lil different, I opted for the shrimp tacos with spicy sauce, it was great, portions were better on the shrimp vs the lobster, my husband ordered the 12oz Angus ribeye rare and enjoyed it, was a thinner cut then he prefers but it was cooked perfect and tasty, I did order the coconut margarita, it was good, but I couldn't taste any b coconut so that was disappointing but it was a good regular tasting marg. Some toasted coconut around rim would of been great. I give it a 5 star now bc food and atmosphere tonight was worth the $. Im eager to try the Mexican...

We visited on our last evening in Branson, at 9pm on a Sunday evening. We were not disappointed!! The service was phenomenal, it was a quiet evening with a few diners coming and going at that time in the night. While we did not have any of their beautiful margaritas, the food was top notch. Seeing their flaming margaritas served to others was pretty cool. The three of us ordered the chicken tacos, marinated chicken and the American burger. You can never go wrong with a wagyu blend burger. My son was so happy! The burgers come with a flavor infuser with a special queso you can add to your burger. Of course he did so, and his dad also used some for his chips. The chicken tacos were delicious. The star of the night for everyone was the marinated chicken I had ordered. There were two thin cut, amazingly marinated and grilled chicken breasts, in addition to the salad and side dish I ordered. I ate what I could, my son ate a half of a chicken breast and my husband went back in for a few bites as well. As son as we are back in Branson, this will be our main meal destination. Not only for the chicken, but to indulge in one of their Snake River Farms steaks. We purchase SRF to cook at home and the quality is exceptional! Definitely RUN, not walk, to dine here when you are in town. There is something for everyone...
