The food was great. The waitress was great. Our party of 15 really enjoyed it. Request the rising table for the teens in your group if you have any.

Saw this restaurant listed in a Branson paper/guide. Glad we decided to try b/c the food was very delicious. The beef pot pie was outstanding & the honey cornbread was to die for. I wanted some banana cream for dessert, but they were out. It was still during early dinner hours too.That was my only negative. Overall it's a really... More

We had less than an hour to eat before attending the Smoke on the Mountain performance in the same IMAX building. Our server took our orders quickly and brought our food promptly. We had the soup and salad with corn bread which was very good. Added bonus was that the Smoke on the Mountain performers came into the restaurant and... More

Nothing special here. Dinner was ok, nothing was wrong, just nothing special about it. Wait staff was nice, service was quick, food was good. Ambience was ok. It shares a building with IMAX and several shops so it is quite busy with people outside.

Went with friends and was surprised at the meal. I did the meatloaf dinner and it was very good. My friends each enjoyed their meal. Just wished they offered more greens

McFarlain's is a nice little restaurant with reasonable prices and good eats. Every time we visit Branson we stop in and have the yummy fried green tomatoes appetizer, of course! We brought Mom to Branson in May and I made sure we were seated at one of the rising tables in McFarlain's for breakfast. Lots of fun!

We were seated like cattle and really not treated much better. No one was friendly including our server. We had 3 children with us and she treated us like she didn't want to wait on us because we had kids. She wasn't attentive to any of our needs. We had to ask for everything. While the food was good, im... More

Food was terrible. Service was worse. Menus sticky. The place seemed dirty and nasty. My meatloaf had a sugary sweet awful sauce on it. The traffic jam pie was the sweetest tooth rotting dessert I have ever had. Don't waste your time!

You can't beat dessert first! Especially when it tastes so good! Loved the sweet potato fries and the fried green tomatoes. The atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly. We will definitely eat here again when we make our next trip to Branson!
