Pickin Porch Grill

Large storefront with a restaurant in the back. Went during their live music night which was a great addition. Not a huge menu but all the food was good with self serve drinks. BBQ and steak tacos were great. A little bit of a different experience, reasonably priced and overall a good experience!

We had lunch here there is plenty of parking. The restaurant is in the back of a craft mall don't let fool you there's plenty of room to seat and eat. The food was good and the service was also. We had a pulled pork platter, barbecue covered french fries,and fried green tomato BLT sandwich.

If I could give 10 stars and a standing ovation, I would. Let me start by saying: if you’re in Branson and don’t stop by the Pickin Porch Grill, are you even living? Now, I know what you’re thinking “A restaurant… in a flea market?” YES, and not just any flea market. This is the Branson Craft Mall, where you can buy a hand-sewn quilt, a chainsaw bear sculpture, and the best dang BBQ sandwich of your life, all in one stop. It’s like Cracker Barrel had a cool artsy cousin who went to culinary school. Atmosphere? It’s like walking into a Pinterest board exploded, but in the best possible way. You’re surrounded by booths full of crafts, trinkets, and handmade treasures, and then BAM out of nowhere, your nose tells you you’ve entered food heaven. You follow the smell like a cartoon character floating on a scent trail… and you arrive at the Pickin Porch. Food? Where do I begin? The pulled pork melts in your mouth like it’s trying to apologize for every bad BBQ you’ve ever had. The fried green tomatoes? Crispy, tangy dreams. And don’t even get me started on the secret sauce, whatever it is, bottle it and sell it. I’d put it on cereal. Live music? Oh yes. There’s often someone pickin’ and grinnin’ while you’re eatin’ and smilin’. It’s like being in the middle of a backyard jam session thrown by the nicest people you’ve never met… until now. Staff? Friendly as your favorite aunt who always makes too much food and insists you take leftovers. Bless them. Final verdict: If you’re in Branson and you don’t eat here, we can’t be friends. 5 stars, a full belly, and a slightly irrational desire to buy a bedazzled wind chime on the way out.

Stopped in to this Branson favorite for some good old local cuisine, we were not disappointed, started with the onion rings which were outstanding, had a cheeseburger which was above average and their classic Turkey, Avocado and Bacon which was fantastic, served on a nice fresh roll. This is an order at the counter place and the food is brought to your table by the efficient staff.

Thought that we were going to a typical restaurant and ended up walking into a place that felt like Buccees. They had a bunch of crafts stalls and private label products like snacks and candy. The restaurant is located in the back and have live music on the Saturday that we were there. The hamburger was very good.

This restaurants is located inside and in the back of the shopping area. Nicely decorated with an occasional band and the staff were attentive and friendly. We had the pulled pork fries and I swear you could feed four people or more with those. We barely put a dent on them. Two of us had the fried catfish which was average. Not bad but nothing special. The tacos were decent for $12. You can’t see the meat under the lettuce lol but they were good for the price. Nice little place.

What a small gem located within the Branson Craft Mall! The food was great, and well made. We ordered the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich and Catfish Po Boy which were awesome! You have to order at a counter, but then someone helps with drinks or other things once you sit down. Staff were friendly overall! They do charge a 10% gratuity on all orders that go directly back to the staff members.

My wife searched Trip Advisor for the top ten Branson MO eating establishments and up popped Pickin Porch Grill. Trip Advisor calls the grill a “Hidden Gem”; they are right! The grill is located inside the Branson Craft Mall (search for my five star review of it, also here on Google Maps). The food was amazing with the menu offering something of interest for even the most discriminating palate! The cook deserves major culinary kudos and the service staff was friendly and accommodating! I ordered the Fried Catfish Plate (which was served along with a delicious “Fried Roll”, creamy coleslaw, amazing smokey baked beans, and enough seasoned french fries to feed two! A word of warning, the portions are large, and if you feel the urge to order the pulled pork, make sure to come hungry; the serving resembles a small mountain! Staff recognition is well earned praise, so let me dole out the kudos: Special thanks goes to (Front of the House) Manager: Lori for having the courage to step up to the camera to tell us about the many special features you will encounter when you stop by! (Kitchen) Manager: David (Super) Cooks: Shane, Will, Robert, Evan, and Ben (You guys can cook for me anytime)! Last but not least: (The Excellent, Super Accommodating Servers: Ella, Vicki, Ardell, Bayli, Christi, and Escarten. Great job! Can they handle large groups? Yes they can! My Wife (Of 51 Years), (2 of four) Sons, (2) Daughter in-laws, (7) Grandchildren (Ages 2 to 18 years old), and myself, all left Full(y) Satiated! Did you get the pun? (Left Full, (y))? Don’t pass up a visit if you’re in the Branson area!
