Gettin' Basted

First time in and our food was phenomenal. We ordered the TV Joe with poblano corn and the Berkeley with chips and a side of chili. The TV Joe and the Berkeley were probably the best sandwiches we have ever had. The chili was delicious and had a nice kick to it. The corn is a must try. Kari, our server, was outstanding. She made all her tables feel welcome, stayed on top of everything, made our mouths water with anticipation for the food that would be coming, and had a fun bubbly personality. She should be training all the new servers and the hostesses. 100% recommend Gettin’ Basted and I hope you get Kari’s table.

Had a great meal at Gettin’ Basted. The food was solid all around — I had the burger with pulled pork on it, and the flavors worked really well together. Definitely recommend going with the homemade chips over the fries — much better texture and taste. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, and our server, Justin, was excellent — great personality and really made the experience even better. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to others.

This place is wildly popular, if you don't get there by 5, on Sundays at least, you're waiting in line. You will not leave hungry, the portions are great, and the food is too. Our server Betty was so sweet and attentive, role model for servers. We had the kids mac n cheese, chicken n waffles, "melt" which is the burger, and the "blackout" sandwich.

We stopped at Gettin' Basted on a road trip, and it was so worth the wait! We were told it would be about 20-25 minutes before we would be seated. We had a table in about 10 minutes tops. We started off with cheese curds. They were so tasty! The cheese had a buttery flavor, and they were super crispy. I ordered the chili cheese fries. They were amazing! The fries were crispy despite being LOADED with cheese sauce, brisket chili, cheddar cheese, and green onions. This is definitely shareable! I had half left to bring back with me. My husband got the ribs with bbq beans, mac and cheese, and texas toast. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, and he loved the beans! Their bbq sauce is really good too! I would recommend to anyone in the area who would like some good grub to stop by.

One of our favorite stops in Branson. The food is wonderful! Pictured: the Berkeley (without spring mix lettuce), the Austin, the pulled pork plate and the Memphis. The entrees were amazing. The fries, sweet potato waffle fries & coleslaw were a huge hit too! The only disappointment was the Mac & cheese. It was lukewarm on arrival and didn’t have much flavor. However, the generous portions still left plenty of food to fill us up.

Amazing food. We’re from Florida and came up for Bible quizzing and it was recommended by the team. They were right, this place is delicious!!! I ordered the brisket with corn and sweet potato fries. Portion was good, I had leftovers. Had my kids with me and they ordered burger and ham & cheese kids meal. Everyone was happy and full when we left.

Don’t miss this place! Really great BBQ! It was pretty busy but service was still very speedy! Our server was friendly and took great care of us! We got the brisket, which was super juicy and tender! Also their fries are golden and crispy, and the Nashville chicken sandwich hit the spot!

Some of the BEST barbecue I’ve had. We started with the fried okra appetizer and it was crispy and hot. Our waitress knew to put the ancho sauce on the side because it is a little bit spicy, but it was great. I got the Austin, hubby got mac n cheese with burnt ends on top, and my son ordered the mOink. Oh my yummy! The flavor was amazing and the serving size were great as well. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Branson.

The food was great! Service was fantastic. The atmosphere was standard for a BBQ place. Portion sizes were huge! We used the "surprise us" on the Yelp app and it landed here. We were very happy (and very full!) when we left. Only suggestion: get some wet wipes. Too much eating with fingers to not have them for guests.

While visiting Branson, Missouri, we decided to try Gettin' Basted after seeing its fantastic reviews and it did not disappoint! SERVICE: 5/5 The service was excellent! Our server was quick, attentive, and friendly, checking in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The staff's hospitality really enhanced our dining experience. FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the Wagyu brisket with mac and cheese and corn brûlée. The sides were flavorful and paired beautifully with the brisket. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, while the corn brûlée added a unique touch of sweetness. As for the brisket, it had a great smoky flavor and was tender, though slightly on the dry side. Fortunately, the provided sauce complemented it well and helped balance the texture.

This is one of the best BBQ places I've ever experienced. Today we had ribs, turkey, pulled pork and brisket. And it was all incredible. I love their beans and sweet potato waffle fries. My wife raved about the huge side salad too. Our waitress was amazing too. She was super friendly and efficient, and took great care of us. Pro tip: There are no combo platters, so order a platter (1/2lb meat + 2 sides) then order another 1/2lb meat only to share. Definitely the place to get BBQ in Branson.

Update, still enjoy! We ordered appetizer tacos but slaw on top, weird taste. If add bbq sauce it helps. Had the Miami-pulled pork with ham, cheese, pickles, just ok due to the harder type bun it's on. Alot of other sandwiches are better. Husband liked TV Joe's. They do have good bbq sauce, so that is important to any sandwich. Such a big menu, lots to try. Usually a wait but not bad.

This place was highly recommended by a couple of people so we had to check out what BBQ in the Ozarks tastes like, especially if it's award winning. We tried the burnt ends plate which weren't bad but next time I would request the sauce on the side. The Pablano corn pudding was amazing!! It was my favorite part of my meal! Okra was not fresh, a little disappointed because I prefer hot and crispy okra. The ribs were tender, but again, next time I would ask for the sauce on the side. Slaw was vinegar based but very good and potato salad was tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Overall, I would come back with the tweaks I mentioned.

Hubby and I went there today for late lunch. I really enjoyed it. My husband... on the fence. I ordered the burnt ends and husband ordered the sliced brisket. Got the food and I was a little confused. I thought i ordered burnt ends and got large chunks of brisket with BBQ sauce on them. We asked the waiter what i had and he said brisket burnt ends. Never had those and didn't know they made those. He was very empathetic to order and said he should have gave me a choice and said he could bring out some bacon burnt ends. I said please and said if he wanted to take mine he could. He said no =, that they would just throw them away. He said to have my husband eat them. I was very happy with the waiter and how he went out of his way to make sure I was happy. Kudos kudos.... Now my husbands brisket.. He wasn't happy with his. He said he thought the meat looked like it wasn't cut to order and it had been sitting out for a while. Also, he thought the brisket was cut way too thick. I would go back. However i would make sure to specify what kind of burnt ends I like. And mayb hubby can get something else

Came all way to Branson to eat BBQ which won the Houston Lifestock BBQ contest. It was funny to see. Food was good, small place and it was busy. The Grandbaby had a good time.

As we were visiting our timeshare Big Cedar for the first time, we were told by multiple people that this restaurant had very good BBQ. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! We ordered a couple of items and had left overs so we can really say we gave this place a try. The burger was super delicious, nothing out of the norm for a burger but the BBQ sauce they had at the table made it just a tad bit better. Beer battered fries came with the burger and they were solid fries. The entire half rack of ribs quite literally fell off the bone, they were so tender and SO delicious! Definitely worth getting here. On this plate, we also ordered two sides. The Mac & Cheese was insanely good (in my opinion, Kraft is the best I have ever had until I tried this one). I usually do not like homemade Mac & Cheese because it's always WAY too cheesy but this one was phenomenal. I realllllllllly like potato salad and this one by far is the best I have ever had in my entire life. My fiancé and I both agreed this was absolutely the best one we have ever had! Burnt ends - W. O. W!!!!!!!!! We have a "BBQ" place we like in California but their burnt ends do not compare to the plate we ordered at Gettin' Basted. Not pictured: sweet tea. This was by far the most sugary sweet tea we have ever had and it ended up hurting my fiancé's stomach with how much sugar was in there so fair warning! When we come back we are nixing the burger and just sticking with the half rack of ribs and burnt ends. Service: We had a gentleman that was graciously nice and played Scooby-Do during our dine in. He was a great server and had an even better personality! 10/10 food 12/10 service

Perhaps one of THE best BBQ eateries in the USA!! Everything we ate... even the sides were delicious!

As a KCBS Hall of Fame member, this joint was some great Q! We sampled six meats on the Judge's Plate, all of which were great! The brisket was moist, the ribs were not over cooked, the chicken was not dried-out. Get the poblano cream corn Brûlée corn! It is sweet with a little kick and it's phenomenal! The wait staff took good care of us. There may be a wait, but it is worth it. There is a good amount of setting, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

One of our favorites when we go to Branson. The Judges Plate is a great deal if you want to try several things and are sharing with others!

Visiting Branson and was able to check out Getting Basted, BBQ restaurant. Yelp Army as well as local recommendations sold us on visiting on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Restaurant was steady with customers and was able to be seated quickly. Our server was very friendly and able to take our drink and appetizer order while we looked over the menu. Decor was very cool and had several TVs for those needing a sports fix. Music was very good and better than expected for a BBQ joint, felt like a club in Vegas! We ordered the ribs and chicken platter with several side in addition to the nachos and smoked chicken. Dishes were served quickly, great presentation and perfectly seasoned. Their home bbq sauce was on point and had a little kick. We didn't order drinks on the visit but several specials are available for this looking for a tasty libation. Restaurant was very clean and tables were serviced quickly. Overall a great visit and will be back on our next trip.

The food was good, but the best thing about this place was the speed with which our food was delivered to the table. We did need to wait about 30 min for a table, but once we were seated, we had our food about 10-15 min later (that includes the time it took for us to look at the menu and order). I wouldn't claim that this was the best BBQ I've ever had, but it was okay.... And the quick service made up for what the food might have lacked.

Mixed feelings. This place was really hyped up, so I was excited to try with the some of the family while in Branson. The restaurant itself is very inviting, upbeat, and friendly. The atmosphere is a welcoming one. That being said - Our waiter seemed to either hate us, or hate his life. He was definitely unhappy about something. We had to ask several times for simple things: a to go box, a side of onions and a side of pickles..... we had to ask a couple of times and got an "oh yea forgot about that." The poblano cream corn brûlée was absolutely amazing. It was nice and warm. It was spectacular. The smoked bologna sandwich with an egg on it was super good except for the wet bun on the bottom side. It was almost like it had been set in water before it was placed on my tray. Afraid to say anything to the waiter, I just folded my sandwich in half (essentially, it took some cutting skills but worked out fine). Because I love smoked sausage I also ordered a side of jalapeño smoked sausage. I am still debating as to whether or not my jalapeño sausage link was supposed to be cold. It was good but it was super cold. The side of macaroni and cheese tasted no different than anywhere else. I would not have ordered it and perhaps tried a different side as there were tons of choices. Had I known that it was basically going to be KFC like mac n cheese. I ordered three side dishes, even though my sandwich only came with one. This was because of the unique selection of side dishes. My third side was sweet potato casserole. Again (like the side of sausage I had) I was not sure if it was supposed to be served cold. It tasted fine. But it was almost like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator, sort of leftover style? Afraid to ask if this was how it was supposed to be served, I just ate it cold. Hubs had brisket with potato salad. He mentioned being nervous that the tater salad was not chunky, but said it was fantastic. His daughter who has pulled pork with potato salad agreed. They loved the meat and potato salad and regretted ordering the mac n cheese over the other options for the same reason as I did: it was like anywhere else you get mac n cheese. Her boyfriend ordered a hamburger with pulled pork on top. That also had fried onions and fried jalapeños on top. He said it was fantastic. He said his fries were good. Fries were skinny fries in case anyone wants to know. Everyone in our group said 3/5 stars. The prices were decent. Everyone left full. Waiter over charged 1 side dish ($4) and acted annoyed that I had pointed it out. Commented that it was "just four dollars." Now, lucky for him I am not the type of person to subtract "just four dollars" from his tip. But he should really rethink his career choice and the way that he talks to people.

This is a hip and trendy Barbecue joint located in the heart of Branson. It has a somewhat awkward, but ample parking lot. It is kind of challenging to get in and especially out of. We made it here on our second attempt. We tried to come here one previous time, but it was packed and the wait was long. The restaurant has a decent sized dining area and a full bar. The bar has a couple of televisions above it. You will find all of your favorite barbecue items on its menu, including ribs, pulled pork, brisket, smoked turkey and smoked chicken. They also have smoked bologna. Being that the restaurant is in Branson, be prepared to pay Branson tourist prices for your meal. Our server was awesome. She was friendly, helpful, pleasant and patient. I got the chicken tenders with chips for the littles and burnt ends with a side a sweet potato casserole and a side of fries. It took about 12 minutes for us to get our food. It was fresh and hot. I really liked my meal. It was a lot of food and I could barely finish it. This is a nice option to get a good barbecue meal in Branson. I highly recommend checking it out.

Service not great but delicious food. Really enjoyed the nachos. Favorite side was the sweet potato hash.

Great food. Amazing flavour and good portion sizes. Wish we had one back in central Arkansas!

There is plenty of seating here but this place stays extremely busy all day long with lines out the door and 30 to 50 people waiting in the parking lot at any given time. I ordered the spicy teriyaki wings which had nice flavor but they were too big and too fatty for my taste. The way you brisket was delicious perfectly smoked. You could still smell the smoke on your fingers long after you were done eating. Macaroni and cheese was perfectly cheesy and creamy. The poblano creams corn was the star. The St Louis style ribs were good The barbecue sauce was tasty but I still prefer baby backs. The service was really good It was fast especially considering how busy they were. Decorah super cool they got enlarged checks with all of their winnings and ribbons and such for their award-winning barbecue up on the walls. #igotbasted definitely a legit Branson location to visit. We got two plates and an appetizer with a small add-on salad for about 75 bucks.

Really good barbecue, and I can see why with the awards and trophies on display. I ordered the grilled Pitmaster chicken salad with the barbecue ranch dressing. Really tasty! The pulled chicken sandwich was delicious too. Lots of drinks and beers to choose from and the wait staff do a great job of taking care of you.

This was our first stop in Branson. My husband loves bbq, smoking, and grilling. We ordered the wings and judges plate -it came out room temp, unseasoned, and dry. The pulled pork and ribs were smothered in their bbq sauce which was extremely too sweet. We didnt finish our food 80% of our food.

Best BBQ ever!! We took a day trip to Branson and stumbled across this restaurant and believe me it did not disappoint. We ordered the Judges plate and the Burnt and blue salad for 6 adults. There was more than enough food. You must order the sweet potato casserole as a side. It was the best sweet potato casserole I have ever had. Not too sweet but made with love and filled my mouth with happiness. Service was quick and friendly. This will be a must visit restaurant every time we visit Branson.

We went there Monday and had a great server named Betty! I wasn't feeling the greatest, and she was so full of compassion and extremely helpful in getting our food boxed up. My husband ordered the Austin sandwich with Kettle Chips, and our son got a plain cheeseburger with fries. Shortly after our food arrived, we decided to leave to go back to the hotel since I wasn't feeling good. Betty was instrumental in helping us box our food up. She went up and beyond! She is amazing! My husband and son said their food tasted good. We told her we would be back. We went today (Thursday), but she was not there. Our waiter was Bob. The employees were joyful and interacting among themselves, but as far as the customer, well, their attitude changed to "I'm doing my job." No joy, no compassion, no interacting except, "do you need anything else?" My husband and I split the Burnt Ends meal. It was dry, and some pieces were tough to chew. I took a picture but it was so dark it didn't take. Our son said the Cheeseburger was good, but Danna's BBQ restaurant has the best!

Okay. Didn't expect much in Branson,MO when it came to barbecue. I am happy to say I was proven wrong. The brisket was silky, most with a great bark. The jalapeño hot links were warm, yet not too hot that you couldn't enjoy them. My wife has the pulled pork and it was very flavorful. The sides were great too! Very much worth the visit.

Best brisket and burt ends that ive had. Great burgers. Great service. Can't wait to go back

Have to admit, I was a bit disappointed at my first visit. We got here at normal dinner time, and they were already out of burnt ends, which to me is the main measuring stick of a bbq joint. We ended up getting brisket as a consolation, but it was quite dry. The St. Louis ribs were ok, but they were really saucy, and like some have said in these reviews, most great bbq doesn't need sauce, so it's hard to judge the actual ribs themselves as opposed to the sauce. The OG garlic sausage links were good, but you can only eat so much sausage. Baked beans were good too but a bit too salty. All in all, I wish I got there in time for burnt ends to give a fairer review...

All meats are gluten free. I just ate meat. Excellent wait staff Cute inside Food was good They use margarine for veggies so I passed

The ranch is fantastic. The primary BBQ sauce is of the sweet variety. The pulled pork nachos were great! The burnt ends were okay- some pieces were fantastic, others were meh. The brisket was okay- needs more seasoning. The Mac and cheese was good, but I've had better. The onion straws were perfect. The sweet potato fries were undercooked. The okra was undercooked, but tasted great.

We ate here on our first night in Branson. Good size portions, and food was fine. I was expecting amazing but, it was just average. Our server was also the bartender and the ToGo person and he was slammed so he was kind of short and abrupt but, who could blame him. We also had a very small booth, up against the wall that looked into the kitchen. Personally, I don't know why restaurants put seating by the kitchen or that look into the kitchen. Would I go back, probably not, I would try somewhere else.

We needed a place to eat and didn't have a lot of time, so we thought BBQ would be quick and easy. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful trying to pick out our lunch! We had so much food! We really could not eat it all, but we certainly tried. The building looked small on the outside, but once we got inside there were several divided rooms on the inside. And it was very clean. You would get your moneys worth of food here!

Platter for 64 dollars feeds 4 adults and one child amazing value! Best BBQ in USA!! Great service!!! Alex is awesome sever!

TBH, this is more a 4.5 than a 4. We were seated right away and taken care off by Jesse (aka Scooby-Doo) , who made dinner more enjoyable with his personality and humor. Food didn't take too long and servings were well-portioned. Ambiance was calm and areas well kept and decorated, lots of awards! Bathrooms were nice and clean, baby changing station in both men's and women's :) Both our dishes had chicken, but one was more on the dry side... hence the rating. Definitely try the poblano & fried onions!

Kinda disappointed, we heard so many good things about this place. It's a bit expensive and we ordered a 1/4 pound of burnt ends for 9$! And there was barely anything in the box! The bbq sauce tasted ok but idk if it was really worth all the money we spent ! Could have went to another restaurant and had better food

Best thing I had while in Branson! There is a reason they have a little wait. The burgers were amazing! Huge and at such a good price point for the amount of food you get. Wagyu meat at that! I also tried the burnt ends and they were good, but they amount was small... the fries are great and that housemade ranch was the best companion!

Our server was great. The ambiance is cool. It's a rib diner so expect that type of ambiance. The food was also tasty. She recommended the BBQ sauce with some habanero hot flakes and turned out really good. It's a good experience for BBQ dinner.

We had the best food and service! My husband had the chicken, I had the brisket. Our daughter had brisket mac and cheese. And her friend had the pulled chicken sandwich. Everything was very tasty. The ambiance is fun! And busy! Since it's such a popular place. We would totally recommend this restaurant for their tender and yummy BBQ.

Service is quick and friendly. Plenty of parking in back. We started off with bone in wings. Great flavor. I had the pulled pork meal which gives you two sides. The sides had about ten selections. The pork was smoky tender and has a touch of bbq sauce. Extra sauce is optional offered at the table. I had the beans and Cole slaw. Both were spot on. My friend had the tamales. He loved them. This family friendly and a pretty busy place. Great place to get your bbq fix!

our waiter tyler was so kind and personable. the food came out fast, it was hot and delicious!!

My husband and I ate here on our last night in Branson and it was our FAVORITE meal on our trip!! There are so many restaurants to choose from, but we picked this one based on the excellent reviews and we definitely made the right choice. The restaurant was packed, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes before we were seated. I ordered the smoked chicken with sweet potato casserole and the baked beans as my sides. All three were absolutely DIVINE! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and I dipped it in their spicy BBQ sauce. The baked beans were the best I have had, and I could not finish the sweet potato casserole, which was outstanding. But our favorite dish?! Their blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream!! Huge blackberries, flavor-packed sauce, warm flaky crust....it was heavenly! I wish this place was closer to home because we would go all the time for sure!

Got brisket plate with fries. Both were delicious. Also did a half slab of ribs. Meat fell off the bone. It was fantastic. Loved the barbecue sauce that on the table so used it for my fries and meat! Wife got a makers mark old fashion. Looked a little small but she said it was strong and good. Our server was friendly and attentive.

The food and service were excellent! For all I'd us except but soon-in-law, it was our first experience here. Four of us (adults), shared the Judge's Plate--and we still had a little to bring home! The ribs were very good. Not fall off the bone, but very tender. They came with sauce on them--it's a sweet-er sauce (I tasted some honey flavor.) I'm more of a dry rub kinda guy, but there were still good. The chicken, turkey, pulled pork, and sausage were good. I expect the sliced brisket was too, but it disappeared so quick, I don't know for sure. We had sweet potato waffle fries and onion show strings for our sides. Both great! Homemade style Ranch for dipping was excellent! Granddaughters had chicken tenders and grilled cheese -- they were hits too. Now, you may have to take it to go because you're too full, but get the blackberry cobbler (a la mode if you can). I was fantastic! Like an extra five stars for the cobbler! I would be remiss if I didn't add that my wife got the candy bar cheesecake, and she loved every bite. We had a great server and we felt very well taken care of.

I still crave that moink American Wagyu burger. Hands down in my top 3 favorite burgers of all time. Be sure to get it medium rare because it'll melt in your mouth. It boggles my mind that people want to get it really brown and well done. They need to make it like a national chain. Our server recommended it to us and I'm glad he did. Fantastic service on his part. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get.

I liked my food, but I had a feeling that it was warmed up. Brisket was fall apart tender, but It did not present itself as fresh to me. It wasn't hot for one. Seemed to be sitting for a while, no joice. The sweet potato casserole and creamed corn burlee again were good, but lukewarm at best. Pork n' beans and mac n cheese were nothing special and a bit bland. I also appreciate more than 1 choice for a bbq sauce. It was good, but sweet. That isn't everyone's choice. The service was great. Server was super attentive, and he had a table of 20 as well. It was a typical BBQ joint not a restaurant. The chairs were old and ripped. Could use an update for sure. I just expected more especially for all their awards.

We are visiting from L.A. We were told to come here by some Branson FB groups. It was SO delicious! I'm glad we stopped by! The server April was friendly, fast, and knowledgeable of the menu. I feel like she probably deserves a raise. She was working so hard. The sauce was bussin! yum

Update hours. They are closed on Monday and Tuesday but everything says it is open including this app.

Update: This is still our favorite place to eat when visiting the Branson area. Top notch barbecue that will not disappoint. You need to check it out if you are in the area!

Little pricey, BUT, the food is great! The BBQ sauce is perfect, everything cooked perfectly. Had the smoked chicken & pork nachos. It was wonderful.

May 27, 2024 - Our group of four came in for an early dinner. There was plenty of parking and seating to choose from. There is a lot of choices/selections on the menu. Our server, Justin aka Luigi W, assisted us in narrowing it down. The okra was perfectly fried. The onion strings were really good too. The Memphis sandwich (pulled pork) was tasty, tender, and a large portion. The potato salad was wonderful. The Porker sandwich was fabulous. The smoked bacon was great, the ribs had a flavorful rub (bones are removed!), and the pulled pork was so tender. The house made chips had a nicely flavored sprinkled coating. Justin/Luigi W had great timing when he checked on us several times. And thanks for sharing some laughs too!!! There is a full bar, local beers, and a few wine choices too.

Food is always amazing here. Service fantastic noisy BBQ Place but great food! We come here every time we come to Branson and can't wait to go again!

This place has the best BBQ I've ever tasted! They have plenty of awards to prove it. We enjoyed it so much we ate here twice in our trip. The BBQ ribs are delicious. The baked beans and corn soufflé are so different in a good way. Our server did a great job directing us on what to order. Very family friendly as well. Sorry I didn't take more pictures before we ate everything! Put this on your restaurant list in Branson
