This was our first time at Whipper Snappers and it was wonderful. The food was just great. Our server (Smitty) took very good care of our needs and showed us how to get the meat out of the tail and claws. All in all a wonderful experience.

our first visit here was some nine years ago, and we were impressed. The quality has declined and the price risen. I would be very happy to pay $34 for a decent seafood buffet, but this isn't it. The lobster was overcooked, flavorless and tough, as were the crablegs. What was billed as butter had to be butter flavored oil,... More

If you like seafood and a lot of it, this is the place to go. It's an all you can eat buffet with lobster, crab legs, shrimp as well as many sides to choose from. The price was very reasonable for all that you get. I think my husband and I found our new most favorite place to eat when... More

Reviews were all over the map, but we decided to try this restaurant anyway. Glad we did- for $34 I ended up eating three full Maine lobsters and probably eight snow craw clusters, plus side items and dessert. Not a fancy place by any means, but clean and comfy. Waiter Don was exceptionally pleasant.

While in Branson, my family and I decided we wanted some seafood. We have the usual seafood restaurants where we live - i.e. Red Lobster, so we wanted to try something new. I looked on Trip Advisor and saw mixed reviews of Whipper Snappers. We stopped by mid-afternoon and scoped it out. The place was VERY clean, no fishy smell... More

Not sure whats up with all the negative reviews. Just ate there for the first time last weekend and the food was great. Considering it was all you can eat seafood I thought the price was spot on!! Crab legs were cooked just right, I have never had crawfish and thought they were awesome!! Lobster tails were on the small... More

Worst seafood preparation ever. Lobster, crab legs, shrimp and crawfish were all over cooked. Made the shells too soft and meat rubbery. The fried fish was over cooked and hard as a rock. Too pricey for the value. Wish we had read the reviews before we went.

This is an all-you-care-to-eat place featuring Lobster, Crab legs, steamed shrimp, and some breaded seafood. The price is high if you don't want to indulge, but if you accept that lobster is not cheap and you are not going there for a lot of choices but to eat all you want of what you usually don't order then it is...

The lobster was way too small & tough. Shrimp was fine but the crablegs were way too small. The other food was not fresh tasting. We thought the price was rediculous!

This was a fun place with very wonderful wait staff (2). Don't know how many were in the kitchen but they were good chefs. This was the problem, they had a buffet set out and when wewent at around 5pm there were only about 8 of us dining. I didn't do the buffet since it was 34.99. I ordered shrimp... More
