That theater site would be a good expansion pad for White Water

This would help  eliminate excess inventory of venues.

Been to Gilley's show several times over the years, and also love his restaurant.

Put a Casino in there.
Wouldnt it be cool if George Strait/Alabama/Garth Brooks could do something in Branson? Maybe recent old Country Stars are too big for Branson anymore.

Always wondered about that restaurant but never could get myself to try it.  Perhaps I should add it to the list next trip

The Gilleys restauraunt was closed last fall, and has been reopened under the name of "Shindigs"..  A "new" BBQ joint..  I have been hearing nothing but good things about it, with new menus, new owners, new management, new cooks and new wait staff.  For sure a "must try" place to eat..!

Thanks for the info.  Will have to check it out.  Love BBQ.

Well dang, I didn't know Gilley's restaurant had closed and re-opened under new owners. We missed going to Branson last fall/Christmas because we had our 1st daughter in October. It was a good restaurant, and we liked it because it was open late, which is sometimes convenient.
