The Rowdy Beaver Restaurant & Tavern

Very nice atmosphere; inviting and relaxed! The service was excellent and fast. The food was above par for a bar and was reasonably priced to a tourist town! my kids loved it!

The Rowdy Beaver is too much fun! Good food, good music, good staff! We only went to one place 2x the whole week we were in Branson and The Rowdy Beaver was it! Live music was good and fun! Drinks generous!

Is it possible to time travel and not come in the first place? Seriously guys, not a great way to do what you «do»… The restaurant was not at all prepared for a pre made reservation. I reiterate, not prepared. I personally ordered and 12oz Ribeye. I ordered said Ribeye, medium. MEDIUM. It arrived, so rare it was blue. This is in NO WAY an exaggeration. Check with your board of health. Undercooked food is dangerous. I will leave an appropriate star rating, as the mgr made it right before we left. But damn. That’s about all I can say. Good luck.

We had reservations for a group of 20 got there 15 minutes before scheduled time only to find out that the staff had bot looked at the reservation list. Instead of setting things up we were told they were short handed because of this and that excuse. Finaly got our tables then the waiter only took about ½ of the peoples orders will not waste my time there again

This place is horrible! Do yourself a favor and run, I mean as fast as you can away from it! We are here because the Ramada Inn we stayed at gave us coupons for breakfast, it wasn’t even worth free. The buffet is tasteless gravy, powdered eggs, fake meat (and not tofu). Ants crawling everywhere, silverware dirty, tables disgusting and filthy! I’m driving to the nearest hospital for as many vaccinations as they can give! Again, run forest, run!

Poor lighting
Poor service… A little rude and abrupt
Out of almost everything
Best part the beer was cold and reasonably priced!

The best word I can use is a hole. Or better dive bar. Went to karaōke there and it was deplorable. Whoever is running the smoking bar side needs to be fired. Seats at best 30. And karaōke is only available on the smoking side. Place was just nasty. You would think a town with all that music would have karaōke somewhere. Won’t go back. Was a great waste to even go to Branson. I’ll take the blame for lack of planning ahead but this place ranks as one of worst bars I’ve ever set foot in. Thought I’d need some antibiotics just touching the door.

Tenderloin was crazy great. Good burgers and their hand-​breaded chicken tenders are the real deal.

Had old fashioned burgers with grilled onions and hand cut fries. Our server was Judy and she was amazing as well as super nice. She even took some pictures for us. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was excellent. The prices were very reasonable as well. What more can you ask for?

Well we went here for a business outing, and well although the conversation was great the food was average. Except for the fries. THEY WERE AWESOME. It’s a homie place not a lot going on.

The burger here was one of the best tasting I have ever eaten. The waitress was good and attended to our table well… of course, they had very few people in there since it was a little before 5 p.m. I rated it three stars because the place had a bit of a musty smell.

We had a good time here. There are 2 sections, so the reviews could be skewed from other people. There is a small bar area with outside seating. This area appears to be more for locals and sketchy people. The other area is huge and has a stage for karaōke and bands. Had the $ 5 drink special and they were good. I would consider going back.

If I could leave a half star for the fresh lettuce on my sandwich I would. Nowhere does it tell you that refills aren’t free, so when you get your bill you’re shocked. The «hand cut» fries were greasy and barely warm. We opted to sit outside because of the loud, horrible singing and cigarette smoke. They will not honor their Groupons or
vouchers, even though they are still for sale. Please avoid this place at all costs.

Stopped here for dinner because they boasted a family-​friendly atmosphere with live music and comedy. The door was all the way around the building from the parking lot, which was weird. The sign inside said to seat yourself, so we did. Our waitress, who was new, was really nice. And that’s about the only nice thing I have to say about this place. The food took over an hour to come out – no joke. Our appetizer never came at all. My meal was ok, but my husband’s steak was so undercooked that it was cold in the middle. And the mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. When the shift manager came out she offered to get us more food on the house, which we declined siting that we were already late… at this point we’d been sitting at this place for TWO HOURS. She said she’d discount our bill instead. She gave us 10% off… ten. percent. Honestly, it felt like a slap in the face… that didn’t even cover the cost of one beer on our bill. Considering the horrible experience, I would’ve expected more. Needless to say, when we return to Branson in a few months, we’ll avoid this place and I suggest you do the same.

Wow. Where to begin? My family and I decided to stop here for dinner at about 6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Our first challenge was finding our way in. The sign on the front door said to enter using the side door. Trek around to finally find the side entrance only to see a sign on there stating to use the bar entrance. Should have been our first clue to go elsewhere!
Upon entering the bar there was another sign that said to seat yourself which we did. After sitting for several minutes my daughter got up and found menus for us. Another 15 minutes later we still had not been approached by any waitstaff, even though two different severs and a bus boy had been in the room multiple times. Note that there were only two tables of guests other than ourselves.
Finally, disgusted, we got up and left. We were never approached by anyone. We will not return.

Great place. Friendly people, good beer, and great music. I highly recommend a shirt.

Went here for lunch with my family. The food was bad even for bar food. It was like they heated up left overs. The service was poor at best. Waitress only came to our table once after food came out and thay was to bring the check.

My wife and I visited the Rowdy Beaver on July 14, 2013. We walked in the door and waited to be seated just as the sign said at the hostess station. Five minutes went by and there was one table with customers at it in the dining area. The customers told us to seat ourselves which we did. It was another five minutes before we finally saw a server.
My wife and I both ordered the chicken tenders with the hand cut fries. The chicken tenders were good and the hand cut fries were VERY GOOD. I wish more restaurants would transition to hand cut fries.
The place could use a very good cleaning and the service definitely needs an upgrade. The only reason we would go back to this establishment would be for the hand cut fries. We satisfied our curiousness but needless to say we will probably never go back.
My wife and I have been to Branson for the past five years for our once a year vacation. This dining experience was towards the bottom of all the places we have dined at during our five visits to Branson.

While in Branson I stopped in with a few buddies and had a great steak at a noisy little place called The Rowdy Beaver.
The steak was hot and tender, the okra was great and the times were fun!
Only complaint was the service and the noise level, but overall, a good place to go.

Walking in, I felt like it was in a bar. Well, yes it is a bar. Complete with stage and live music. The smoke was a bit thick but when seated, we chose non smoking and was taken to a separate eating area. You lose a bit of the ambiance that way but its ok. My husband and I were not super hungry but we were talked into trying the fried green beans as an appetizer. They were quite good. We ended up splitting a french dip with au jus and some cheese fries. The service was good. They do have a large selection of steaks, sandwiches and burgers as well as 12 beers on tap. Everything was good. I’ll go back next visit to Branson
