RT`s Family Restaurant-Hillbilly Bowl in Kimberling City

Like eating there have pretty good food

Decided to go for a take out lunch. The bacon cheeseburger was good, served with seasoned fries. The staff was great and very accommodating to personal requests. Would probably spend a lot of time and money here if I lived in the area.

Food was just okay and it reeked of cigarette smoke

The pizza was great! The back room is definitely lacking in the lighting area. Really dark could barely see the menu.

Food is always good; love the pizza, best fried green beans, and good salads! They do takeout also if you want to eat on the boat. It's a must everytime we are at table rock!

Been going there for 6 years when we visit Branson. Best pizza in the area, worth the drive.

Mom & Pop place! Servers were great and food was good. Thank you for the balloons! Hours of fun for the next couple of days!

Really good food, great burger. Too bad the place is so crummy. They took up carpet but left glue on the floor! Been that way for a couple of years now. Have a little pride in ownership.

Very good food and very accommodating! Great burgers!Edit: Went again for dinner, and I have to say that I wasn't impressed. Ordered a philly cheesesteak and that was the only good thing. Now for the bad: The appetizer got lost in translation and came well after the meal. I watched the staff MICROWAVE food. A sad little shivering white dog was tied up and sitting in an empty adjacent room, I could hear them barking and whining as I was leaving. I noticed as I explored the rest of the facility (the bowling alley and the bar) that the area felt dusty and uncomfortably aged. The entire place needs a remodeling, and for the love of God, can someone free the poor dog and tell their owner not to bring their pet into work!?

Love this place and hillbilly bowling is back! Woo hoo!

The venue needs some serious help. It's grungy and just not something you feel pleasant walking into, especially knowing you are going to eat there. The food wasn't great but it also wasn't bad.

There's a bowling alley in this place and bar. I thonk very kid friendly. Very friendly worker as well, he came out in the rain and delivered my food to my car. The fish was very tasty, broasted chicken did not taste fresh it was a bit dry. I love mashed potatoes and gravy (the potatoes tasted box but the gravy was good, the Mac-n cheese was definitely straight out the box). I will give them another chance before I leave the Ozarks.

Tavern in front, bar, bowling, pool and games room in back. Good comfort food with daily specials.

Older establishment but food was great and friendly staff.

Good food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. Fried chicken and the Club sandwich were delicious.

Good food, good service, and reasonable prices.

Fast and friendly...good food

Had a lovely meal and fellowship with a group in their private room!

My wife and I are never disappointed. Great quality food!

The place is dirty!!! There were holes in the ceiling, vents were uncovered and dirty and the floor was disgusting. We sat down and ordered drinks after hearing there was a full bar only to be told they had nothing strawberry. Ok fine. Then ordered our food which took awhile but no biggie. Right before our food comes out a cricket lands in the middle of the table! We freak out, knock it on the floor and go on. ONLY TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE FALL ON THE TABLE A FEW MINUTES LATER! Hell no!

Fun family restaurant and arcade/bowling. James is awesome!!

Truly an amazing place. The food is amazing. The open roast beef sandwich is second to none.The service was spot on very friendly and attentive. Ice teas were filled without askingIf you get the chance to go to RT's make sure you do.

Outdated, overpriced, and the place is a dump period. Food was terrible... Even the Ice water had a disgusting taste to it. If you ever visit this place take a peek into the kitchen...that sight will for sure make you think twice before eating there.

Absolutely horrific! The restaurant is absolutely disgusting Filthy! The mashed potatoes tasted like powdered, the string beans tasted like a cheap can and my food was cool to the touch. Our waitress looked like she'd be much more comfortable on the streets of San Francisco with her gigantic dreadlocks, face piercings and tennis ball size ear plugs. She seemed like she was very depressed and dealing with much anxiety. I felt awful because she appeared to be so unhappy. The vents were disgusting and missing covers, along with the floor and walls filthy. If you are accustomed to a nice environment and quality food, don't go there. Nearly every table had most of the food left on the plate. The man beside us couldn't even stomach his burger. This is the worst review I've ever given.

I had the Special (Catfish & Shrimp) and it was amazing!! The catfish was seasoned perfectly, the shrimp was lightly breaded and both were fried just right! The fries were some of the best I've ever had and the cocktail and tartar surfaces were on point! Great food, highly recommend!

Looks a little dive-y at first, but we gave it a try. Very awesome! My sandwich was great, and others loved their burgers! Definitely on my go to list.

Very friendly staff. Good home cooking. If the bowling alley and arcade were up and running, it could be a whole afternoon of family fun.

Good food, good prices generous portions.

Horrid service and terrible food. I ordered a cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. I recieved a cheeseburger...well sort of..and fries. I asked for ranch dressing. My wife had a mushroom burger..which she says was *not very good*. I asked for ranch dressing. My 5 year old being a grilled cheese connoisseur ingested 3 bites of his sandwich and promptly vomited on the floor Again I asked for ranch dressing. I ate half of my burger. Now Im out of drink. Id like to have a refill and some RANCH DRESSING. At this point I went to the register. Watching waitresses scamper to and fro...not my waitress...finally after telling them if they wanted my money they better take it before I leave. $30 later and riding home now with a literal nasty taste in my mouth. Disgusted.

Pretty clean. Pretty slow service. Pretty much every time. Pretty good food if they don't run out. Nothing quick here.

This place is old and smells like cigarette smoke. Service is slow and food tastes like it comes from a can. Will not return.

Great stop to eat. Even let my puppy in. Very nice people!!!

We like the food, and service is very good

This place is old & dumpy. The menu looked good and I saw good reviews so we tried it anyhow. I ordered the broasted chicken, which looked NOTHING like the photos. It was tough and not at all brown & crispy, just light colored batter and totally unappetizing. It came with a side of mashed potatoes & gravy, which were cold/barely warm; canned green beans (yuck) and a biscuit they had MICROWAVED so it was hard and rubbery and I couldn't eat it. They microwaved me more mashed potatoes & gravy, but they were INSTANT potatoes and gross.WTF HAPPENED TO GOOD OLD FASHIONED HOME COOKING AS THEY ADVERTISE? It's certainly not here. I just paid $12 plus for the worst chicken dinner on the planet!

Its not fancy. But I order off the appetizer menu. Price reasonable and very good pizzas. They are in process of remodeling so have to over look the atmosphere.

Best pizza. In fact, despite all the restaurants in the area that are more upscale, for all around American fare, RT's comes up tops as far as taste. The catfish is the best in the area. I am told they are going to a total remodel, great! Just don't lose your cook.

Terrible service and nasty restrooms and food, we sat for an hour waiting on our food and saw not cooking our food so we walked out. Afterward locals told me that the place should be shut down.

When we walk through the doors we got hit with cigarette smoke. It was also gloomy and dark inside. Food wasn't bad.

We did the burgers with bacon. Omg, a real burger. Staff was super nice. And I was able to order and just lounge without my security staff. It was just me and my driver. I love it

If you love the good ole days? This is the place!! Bowling alley inside, and the food is awesome!!! You gotta try it..Tell them Ronnie G sent ya!!!

Great little greasy spoon.

The chicken sandwich was very good. Service was good. I did not like the onion rings.

Decent food. Decent prices.

The pizza, cheese bread and fried chicken were amazing! We will definitely be back!

This is definitely a place you do not judge the book by its cover. The food, atmosphere, and service was amazing. After you are done eating you can bowl, shoot pool, or play air hockey. Good food, good beer, and good games....what more can you ask for.

We went to this restaurant as a family with lots of little kids and found it quite the opposite of family friendly.

As a local, my husband and I like to go to RT's because they are open late and they offer meals that are not fast food. Personally, we have never had a bad meal. We have also had good service everytime we have gone there. I highly recommend updating the restaurant environment. It is out dated, dingy, and appears not clean. This should be which easy to fix and not overly expensive. The investment would really help in my opinion.

Fun kitschy restaurant, great service, catfish was great.

Food was pretty good, waitress did not write our order down which makes me nervous when I have picky kids. We ordered an appetizer and sure enough here comes our food without the appetizer. But she did make a quick effort to get it too us and was kind enough to not charge us for it. And really I would give this place 5 stars but the dinning room is close to the bar and unlike Arkansas smoking is allowed. So my kids and myself were exposed to second hand smoke and the stink of it on us after we left. If I were the owner I would reevaluate the pros and cons of allowing smoking. It seemed just a couple smokers ruining the experience for the many.

Good food, good variety, quick service. We like this place when we come to the lake. Never been disappointed.
