Looks like Old Chicago at the Landing may be gone. Was reported on the 1branson board today that the restaurant had been sued for back rent and possession. Macaroni Grill closed back in January.
Called Paige, she said there ere rumors about it closing.... I liked that place.. Cold beer,Killer Pizza, Cold beer, great nachos................. oh did I mention COLD beer? ;D
I have never had a chance to eat at Old Chicago. Maybe my lack of patronage is a reason they are closing? :P Either way, I hate to see any business go under.
Old Chicago - North Little Rock
Famous Daves - Little Rock
Shorty Smalls - Little Rock (North Little Rock location closed recently)
Macaroni Grill - Little Rock
Since we have all 4 of those restaurants here where we live, we typically eat at Joe's Crab Shack when we are at the Landing. I do like all those places, but we can get those at home, so we try to go for something different.
We were members of their Beers of the World club- we had a card that would be scanned whenever we ate/ drank, and it would log our drinks and earn us points for each different beer. They had some good stuff there (I am not an AB man, even though I live/ born and raised in StL, I support the little man, the smaller brews)
When Lance started with them right on opening it was going great and then like 5-6 months later.....new managers that let's say were not that great (food went down hill, service etc). That's why he went to White River (Bass Pro) and is very happy there. It's sad because it was a great idea and I enjoyed going there!
I always liked sitting on the lake side of the bar,
overlooking taneycomo,
relaxing,
cold beverage,
overlook the lake.......
ahh..!!! life doesnt get much better,,,, ;D
That does sound nice sand! Especially on a beautiful, warm day with lots of boaters, and activity along the water. It looks like I will have to go to Garfield's, or somewhere similar to get that experience now.
OH!! it was great,,, of course it was in the shade of the building too..
well, i guess you could go to short small's..OOPS NO they are closed too...
well Joes crab shack is still open! (so far)
Still haven't confirmed if OC has closed yet but it was in the public record for being sued.
I pulled up Old chicago main website and there is no reference to a branson location....
then i tried to pull up the branson's location website and it is not working....
Sooooo.. I think they are gone. I dont know if i will be at the landing this weekend or not. but if I am.....
If not, Sanddune, maybe you should give Garfield's a try. I haven't ever been there, but I've thought about it the bazillion times I've walked by. Does anyone know what's on their menu? I thought it was a hamburger sort of place.
I have one at the mall in Joplin. Its burgers and fries kinda place. If Applebees and TGI Fridays had a baby you would get Garfields....

:o HOLY COW! I was just about to say those 2 places! :o
ya beat me to it trams! :D
They used to have Garfields in the Mall in OKC too. Used to have crayons and draw on the tables. But when I go to Branson I want to eat places that I can't eat around here, the one exception being Cracker Barrel
Heard from someone who ate there this week that the restaurant has dropped the Old Chicago affiliation but will remain open with a similar menu.
Turns out that Old Chicago corporate decided to take over the Branson location from the franchisee. So the Landing location is back on the Old Chicago website and the restaurant is open for business. Just wanted to give an update so that those of you who enjoy OC would know that it is open.
thanks for the update biscuit.. i was at the south end of the landing last week and had lunch at the Fish House by Bass Pro.
excellent food!
1 st time for me there..
BIG portions..
