Branson Talk / Re: Restaurant recommendations and revues in the Branson Area

Also in Hollister, actually on Downing Street is Little Hacienda for Mexican. I know the one in Branson didn't get a good word earlier in this thread, but that one caters to tourists and is more mass production style. The location in Hollister is much better, great service, good margaritas, and some really good queso. 

Gettin Basted and Danna's are great BBQ places. Billy Bob's if you're looking for a burger, but make sure to bring cash.

Alright, now that I've made myself hungry again I need to stop 

Absolutely Agree.  Hacienda in Hollister is good,  I just dont usually drive that far to eat, But for sure is an option since they screwed up the Branson location

Danna is great for BBQ and other food,  Always busy.    Since Gett'n Bast'd opened, they have lots of dining room space, so I havent tried to go back to Danna's, but excellent food.

Billy Bob's !! Of course, new location last year, more room, easy access from 76,  GREAT burgers...!

 @ Shave or other Admins...

We have several comments on the 2018 thread, that actually should be on the 2019 thread.   One of you want to move them and clean that up..   LOL.      thanks,

Considering the lake was indeed a natural feature that predates the park I do think they will keep it intact to some degree.

All week has been a mad house where I work in Branson. The season seems to be off to a pretty good start. Between spring break and the archery competition this week the town has been buzzing. Had to fight some traffic getting to work today actually. Shows seem to be drawing some good crowds from what I've seen thus far. Even without the NAIA tournament, which I wish hadn't been forced to leave, its off to a good start

As a local in the area there are a few places that I would like to recommend. If you're looking for pizza try Mr Gilberti's in Hollister off of Acacia Club. Small place, easily missed if you're not paying attention, but great Chicago style pizza. Also in Hollister, actually on Downing Street is Little Hacienda for Mexican. I know the one in Branson didn't get a good word earlier in this thread, but that one caters to tourists and is more mass production style. The location in Hollister is much better, great service, good margaritas, and some really good queso. If there are any fans of Indian cuisine here, besides myself, India Clay Oven on 76 across from Walmart is excellent. Go for dinner, the lunch buffet is good, but dinner is so much better, and try the mango lasi if you go. Gettin Basted and Danna's are great BBQ places. Billy Bob's if you're looking for a burger, but make sure to bring cash.  If you're on the Landing, Black Oak is great for lunch or dinner. Waxy O'Shea is a nice little Irish Pub that has music quite often, get the scotch eggs there.

Alright, now that I've made myself hungry again I need to stop

It didn’t start raining today until just before 3 pm.  Time Traveler went from a 100 minute wait to a walkon pretty quick.  The kids rode it 5 times in about 30 minutes at around 4:30.  All the big rides except for Powder Keg stayed open.

So what days of the week are usually not as crowded?

Everyone will tell you that Saturday is the WORST day!!,  Sunday not so bad..

BUT!!!!   That doesnt always hold true.......

Today,  Sat the 23rd...  Only 11,300..  Wow.!!

It's rained here most of the day as well.  I'm sure that's why the numbers were down.  Actually, for it being a rainy day, 11,300 is still a pretty big number.

What were summer days averaging last year Sandunerider?  Do you remember?
Seems like 20+ at Christmas with any decent weather at all (drastically effected by cold weather) but I didn't watch the summer months.  I would love to keep track and watch the patterns.  EZ spreadsheet with weather included so you can see its effect.

memorial weekend averaged about 15 per day...

summer? i would say 12-15 average... obviously depending on rain? heat? humid?  LOL...  Tornadoes!!!.

This was also Spring Break Week in the area and I am sure that contributed to the crowds.
