With each other, they took a leap of faith. Starvin' Marvin's was originally in a log cabin just west of Silver Dollar City. As Branson boomed, Starvin' Marvin's moved to the "strip."

Vacation

We dined with Starvin Marvins twice while in Branson. Loved the seafood buffet, the coconut shrimp and fried catfish were very good. The gumbo was not up to my standards, not enough roux or shrimp.

The best thing on the buffet was the blackened catfish. I wouldn’t consider it overpriced because there is a variety if you choose the buffet. The crab legs are good, but not as good as advertised. You’ll see the advertisement on billboards and on the...More
