St. James Winery Branson - West branson

We visited for lunch while on vacation in Branson. The patio and yard were beautiful! The pizza was hot, fresh, and tasty. We tried a beer and wine that they make in house and both were great. We will definitely be back next time we're in Branson!

Stopped in to try their food and taste some wine, neither disappointed. ???????????????? The California Chicken and Bacon, with their garlic Parmesan sauce, was delicious. The sauce was the show for me, definite balance of flavor. As for the wines, thePeach Sangria was wonderful, it?s their Summer wine, sweet and light, refreshing. However the Blackberry Velvet, one of four oftheir Branson Reserve wines, outshined them all for me. If you?re wanting to visit a winery while you?re in Branson, you can?tgo wrong by visiting St James.

The tasting was amazing. However the service while purchasing $300.00 of wine was not. The woman behind the counter decided to help someone else after our purchase and before she finished our attraction tickets. She said it would be quick and it was farfrom it! Then she forgot why we were still there. Not the way I wanted to end our St James experience.

Pizza was very good. Not enough people working on a very busy Friday afternoon. No large print menu. Easy maneuvering through wine tasting area and bathrooms. The 3 rating is merely off of service as our children had to wait to get refills and adults,wine. This has nothing to do with our waitress as we understood the day was understaffed).

Very sad when you go back to a place you visited and it's not at all the same. Several years ago they had amazing pizza, not this time, was pretty bad. Before wine tasting was free, my aunt went up to the sample bar because I thought there was some freesampling, then found out it was 15$..Will not be going back..at least the server gal was great..
