Okay ya’ll. I’m telling you this is a Hidden Gem! And it’s found in the back of a super fun craft mall, where there are rows of unique gifts to see as you work up an appetite. My mother-in-law and I bought the magnetic jewelry that’s supposed to help with pain. Let me tell you, it works! Also, they play live music on Saturdays at 5 and it’s a legit setup. The food is delicious. We came to lunch yesterday and it was so good we came back today. We had a party of 6 adults, 1 teenager and 4 kiddos and everyone was satisfied, smiling and happy with their meals. Seriously good Burgers and BBQ and their creamy avocado dip is made fresh daily. This is a family establishment you’ll be happy you supported. Oh and an added bonus, they have big tables for large group. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Located in the back of Branson Craft Mall, nice portions, great food. The pulled pork and catfish plates are the best! We always stop by when in town.

Atmosphere was not what we expected and it was a Friday night with no live music. There’s a craft mall (vendor mall) in the front and the restaurant in the back. For the service, wait in line, order at the counter, then sit at the table and they bring it to you. Only service is a drink refill and cleaning your table after but they automatically charge a 10% tip on ALL orders.
With that being said, the food was very good. We would eat there again, but expectations on the service and atmosphere would be different.

Pickin Porch was such a great experience! The food was delicious, especially the burgers, and the atmosphere was amazing. It’s such a unique place with the front end being a vendor store and the restaurant tucked in the back.
