Love! You board the boat and eat. Chicken and post roast, with mashed potatoes, green beans and a roll. The chicken was mid but the pot roast was TO DIE FOR!! Our server (Sam) was amazing! While you’re eating you enjoy the comedian/magician. After you eat then you get to walk all around the boat, and enjoy Table Rock Lake. Then it’s Ooey Gooey Butter Cake and the show. The performance was amazing!!! Really enjoyed it!!!!

"Extremely cramped seating arrangements"

The seating is torture. They seat too many people at long tables with no room beside, in front or behind. You are literally squeezed into a space that should be reserved for toddlers. An extremely small area that gives each person about 20 inches to dine. You are literally elbowing the person beside you and they are elbowing you. If the person seated at the table in front of you manages to stand up, their behind has nowhere to go but on your table! We asked to be moved to the back of the restaurant where there was plenty of seating and had to go thru a heated conversation with the rude manager before doing so. They treat their guest like cattle at a cow sale. I will say, the waitstaff and crew were awesome. Corporate…you need to do better!

"Excellent stage performance BUT Very poor customer service"

FIRST If you are disabled and have trouble walking be warned...there is absolutely NO provision for you. There is a half mile walk TO the boat and uphill going back with NO transportation. If you come after the first show good luck finding any handicapped parking and thus a further long walk. At the entrance prepare for another 1/4 mile walk to get on the boat and then that's uphill going back. Captains club up charge: On the boat there is an elevator to the 2nd floor then stairs up to the balcony 1,2,3 levels. Much better food selection and service but you are 100yds from the stage Ribeye was tough and full of gristle. Balcony is U-shaped so the end seats on either side have a very poor stage view. Ground floor seating is in rows closely spaced with no elevation between rows and food selection is minimal and limited. Lastly there is NO seating diagram anywhere so you are guessing on where your seat is located and what stage view you will have
