We went to the Salt Grass Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate my sisterâs birthday. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and while the dip was good, we were surprised that it was served with nacho chips. I had the 16 ounce ribeye and it was very good and cooked perfectly to medium rare. My brother-in-law ordered the 12 oz rib-eye medium rare also. What was served was embarrassing. He was served a very thin, well done piece of meat that was inedible. I couldnât believe that they would serve a steak that was so thin. He sent it back and upgraded to the 16 ounce steak and it was just fine. My wife had the 6 ounce filet and my sister had the salmon Oscar which ere both very good. In addition to the quality of steak, we were disappointed that the food service was quite slow.

In a recent weekend getaway to Branson we stopped in this restaurant for a quick dinner. Friendly staff, sub zero temperature. Many people were complaining. We were there for a nice quiet dinner of good BBQ we remembered as excellent in Lexington, KY. What a disappointment! From the cold, cold temps to the screaming children around us to the fatty BBQ I could not eat what a terrible experience. Now I love children why not consider seating families in an area together and perhaps couples in a quieter zone. If the person seating would just exercise a momentâs judgement this small but important thing could go from a negative to a positive. Could have overlooked all this if the meal had been edible. Sorry Famous Dave!

You can find a coupon for the onion loaf or $5 off in most tourist booklets. They had a bar special, bloody Mary, when we stopped. It was only a so-so drink, which surprised us in a hip vibe bar. The big slab of ribs looked like a lot of food - it was, so we were glad that we split the entree. The ribs were fall off the bone bland, even w/ BBQ lather. Slaw and beans were good. Our server was a casual guy, but efficient and friendly. Gave it a 4 because it's fresh, clean, modern, bright, the employees are in uniform and seemed engaged, the food and bar were actually likely more like a 3 star.Thank you for dining with us. We appreciate the feedback and hope to serve you again soon.

We ate here 9-14 and it was slower than molasses and very unorganized. When we first got there the waitress had spilled a WHOLE bowl of salsa on a customer and she was very upset...had to ask for our check and was late to our show due to slow slow service...food fair. Not recommended with so many better places to eat in branson.

My husband and I drove down from Chicago with our boat in tow. We got in so late from our drive, our resort restaurant closed at 8PM and we were there at 10PM. A lot of the Branson restaurants close about nine or 10 so finding The Cheeky Monkey was a godsend. We had people checking on us just the right amount of time. They had a DJ which was fun for me because Iâm old and it was nice to shake my bootie a little bit. My husband not so much. We ordered the pork nacho plate, pulled pork dinner, and a pulled pork sandwich. They have beef too for those anti-pork people. As you enter the bar, we were greeted with a sample drink. (The Cheeky monkeyâs drinks are so much better than Rock Island Grill and their outside Tiki bar). Our food was tasty, the service is beyond EXCELLENT. This Establishment understands the quality of customer service. I only gave the cheeky monkey four stars because I deleted one for the smoking inside. I understand itâs a bar but I donât smoke and my clothing ended up stinking. Maybe if they had a commercial size exhaust fan that would help the smoke situation. We will be visiting again maybe earlier. We closed down the place and what was nice; there was a different variety of people: young, old, different ethnicities, Prim and Proper, country folk, city folk and everyone in between!

My favorite is still the Burnt Ends with baked beans and fried okra. Very, very good. Service is fast. Go to front, place order, pay, get your drink and they will bring your meal to you. Great food and service!

Family of five dined here this evening, and we all loved our meals. My husband had the Boss Man salad and said it was the best. The loaded potato, pork plate, and fish sandwich were also big hits. I would definitely recommend this place! Also, the restaurant was very clean and has outdoor dining available.

A group of 22 went in, they quickly took our order, arranged seating, and brought our food out. Everything was delicious. The staff was super friendly and the prices were so reasonable. You could easily share a meal between two people. The banana foster dessert was awesome!

Service with a smile. Food was excellent and well worth the price. The burgers are great and fries are delicious. I highly recommend to try this clean well established grill. Has a great family atmosphere. The burnt end brisket bbq nachos were on special when we visited.Thanks Carol, we are so happy that you were able to try one of our many "specials".
