5. Peppercorn's Ranch House

Disgusting
Pulled up to this place while visiting Branson. Very warming appearance to the building on the outside, so figured we would stop and try it out without doing our homework. Did not know the price going in, they don't give you a menu, just tell you to go get your buffet. Ended up being $12.95/each, but good thing our 2 year old was free. But this place had the absolute worst food. At buffets I typically eat more than my fair share in order to "get my money's worth". I left this place hungry. The other reviews are not lies, and I would suspect any good reviews are from management.

DO NOT GO!! I'm not a hard to please person when it comes to food and restaurants but give me McDonalds any day. The food was lousy, lukewarm and not much choice, much of the stuff was empty or bottom of the pan and wasn't refilled the whole time we were there. Cost was outrageous for the selection. Service was worst I've ever seen. We had a party of 7 and they seated the party of 6 behind us first at a table that seated 10! No one was friendly except the lady selling discount show tickets and of course, she didn't work for the restaurant. I live in the area and bring visiting friends and family to Branson often and this place is a disgrace to the atmosphere created in this lovely town.

AVOID!!!!!
Look, our group went there on accident, so don't make the same mistake. The utensils (tongs for the food) looked as though they had not been changed out since 11am that morning (we went at 5pm). It just looked dirty... the food was not good at all !!! Dry chicken (both roasted and barbque), mashed potatoes were nasty... their chicken soup was horrible!!!! no real veggies, accept for canned corn... DON'T DO IT!!!!!
