Went here and got right in for brunch, waitress was running around like a crazy person but she got us taken care of. Usually diners have quick service but that wasn't the case at the Branson Cafe. My biscuits and gravy came out lukewarm, bottom of the biscuits were burnt. Boo. But we did get right in, so that was a positive. read more

Branson Cafe - Breakfast skillet and 2 biscuits and gravy. Came out lukewarm. - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This is the first restaurant in Branson and it's a simple, no-nonsense diner. The portions are generous and I enjoyed the country fried steak. The cobbler was OK, so I would recommend the pies. Nice place for lunch after taking a stroll in historic downtown Branson. read more

Branson Cafe - Dessert menu! - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Food was great. Prices are good. Staff was ok. I love these Mom and Pop type locally owned places. Family's food looked great. We had no complaints and it was a great respite from the heat. My daughter had the chicken strips and they were clearly hand-battered and fried, not mass produced. Same with my son's chicken fried steak and my other son's steakburger. read more

This is old time home cooking....well except for the hash browns. But, the biscuits are made from scratch.

I called a simple order and simply two legs fried chicken legs that's all got here told me it would be 15 minute drive all the way across town to get here 15 minutes I got here for the order had not been filled. I had my dog with me in the car thinking this would be a simple trip in and out which it was not thank God it wasn't one of those 90 degree days not too happy with Branson Cafe right now. Updated i will have to day they made it right by comp my chicken and it made ut tadte even better,lol. I will be back thanks for customer satisfaction. read more

Branson Cafe - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

A nice little place that has been around since 1910, servers are great. We initially went across the street to the Farmhouse, but there was a long line and we saw the Branson Cafe across the street, no line. We had the chicken fried steak sandwich special, that was a solid homestyle sandwich. The patty melt and burger were good. The Reuben was very good, with bavarian style saurkraut. The service was great, and it was a cool place in the touristy area. read more

Breakfast for dinner - yep! The Choc chip pancake double stack was huge. French toast a little undone. Fresh salads - small, limited dressing choices. Drinks brought quickly - friendly service. Strange walk to restroom - through kitchen. Fried chicken rated highly by my companions. Overall it was as expected for a diner in the heart of Branson. Clean, friendly, and filling. read more

Should have read reviews before picking up food. Didn't see a single mask on employees. Stay away, since they don't seem to care about the health of anyone entering, even if you're just picking up food. read more

Food was good. Service is slow but friendly. Compared to other places in town this place is very affordable. Parking is kind of a problem. Overall nice diner. read more

Both got full for just over $20. Fast server for how busy it was. We shared a table with strangers. We didn't mind that one bit. Now the food... We both got the specials. Catfish was bland but fresh. Hush puppies has the same issues. The spaghetti had meat sauce and that was good. It was watery though.. I had to blot it with a napkin. I also had to use salt which I do not typically do. But for the price and speed it was pretty darn good. Oh! And the coleslaw was good, so was the bread. read more

See all

Highly recommend!!! Friendly, great atmosphere not to mention the delicious home made pies and cinnamon rolls!! Awesome!!!

My son and I ate here a few weeks ago.I found the staff friendly and efficient. Just sitting and eating in an old diner like this and soaking up the nostalgia was pretty cool.We pigged out on breakfast. Biscuits gravy hash browns bacon sausage over easy eggs.Ill be back.We loved it. read more

Small town diner experience with friendly service and good food. Had the open face roast beef sandwich and the meat was tender and well seasoned. Portion size was good, did not go away hungry ;) read more

This place didn't disappoint for breakfast! The country ham and sunny side up eggs were just like my Pa Bart's. Thanks for the memory!

Tried to get a late breakfast. Went in at 11. They were still serving breakfast. They told us when we sat down that they were out of biscuits. Strike one. By policy they will not make pancakes or French toast after 11 even though they still will make breakfast. Strike two. Trying to find something my daughter will eat. We order the kids fruit. They are out of fruit. Tried to see if they would bend a little on the pancakes since they are out of the fruit. Nope. Strike three. We went to Bob Evans. I had to wonder what else they would have been out of when we tried to order for my wife and I. read more

Stopped here on our visit to Branson. Great local cafe. Had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. It was hot and fresh and tasted amazing! My daughter had the grilled chicken salad. Their ranch is home made. She loved it. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The owner came and introduced herself. When we come back to Branson, we will definitely come back here. Glad we found this great place! read more

A great little small town diner in downtown Branson. The staff was incredibly nice and allowed me to create my own breakfast combination (I just needed some biscuits and gravy that morning too). The food is simple, but really hits the spot and gets you ready for a long day out in the city. Definitely keep this place in mind if you are having trouble deciding on where to eat breakfast! You won't be disappointed! read more

Came here for lunch while on vacation. I ordered the catfish special, it came with hushpuppies, coleslaw and fries. Very generous portions, everything was hot and fresh and only had to wait about 15 minutes despite it being pretty busy. The only downside was that both the hushpuppies and the catfish were pretty bland- it tasted like there was no seasoning at all. I dont care for coleslaw so my friend ate mine and she says it was great. read more

Branson Cafe - American Near Me - Branson, Missouri

During a recent Branson visit, my family ate at the Branson Cafe, and we found that this relaxed diner is a great destination for a meal (although not quite as good as the Farmhouse across the street). Our meals were good, the prices reasonable, and the service very good. The highlight of the meal was our desserts! How can you go wrong with coconut cream pie, and they offered Magnolia pie, which was a new one on us! It is somewhat similar to pecan pie, but coconut is used rather than pecans - delicious!! We recommend the Branson Cafe on your next visit to Branson!! read more

Really really good Hillbilly Eggs Benedict! My husband's Western Omelet was good too! Worth finding a parking spot in downtown Branson for breakfast! read more

Do not go to this restaurant if you are looking for a safe environment during the pandemic. The waitresses are wearing lace masks not currently and not appropriately distancing. The tables are not six feet apart and I was crowded most of the time I was in here. Great food but more regulations need to be applied! read more

Good food. Neat place to eat. Philly cheesesteak was good. Cheeseburger was good. Loved the coconut cream pie!

What cafe doesn't have Pancakes or waffles after 11am but you can still order bacon and eggs? If you are going to sell breakfast afternoon make sure you sell the whole menu. Wow! read more

Food was fine, staff was super which is what I find most important! Old Branson is cute, check out the 5 & 10 across the street.

Nice old fashion American breakfast diner. Great food and great service. Ask for Peggy, she's great!

very bad. our waiter was the only nice one. food tasted like plastic. my drink had stuff floating in it. there was a plastic smell when u walk thru the door read more

My wife and I stopped in for a quick lunch while walking around downtown Branson. The food was reasonably priced and our sandwiches were great! The waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Wonderful local cafe. Excellent fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, and roll. We were stuffed but had to have a piece of homemade peanut butter pie, delish!! read more

Our family of five (three small kids) first visited Branson this year. We decided to go to brunch at the Branson Cafe based on Yelp's recommendation. We were disappointed. Food was ok. Staff seemed annoyed we were there. There are many other diners that have better food and better service in the downtown Branson area. We will not be going back. read more

Ugh. The coffee was hot and the bacon was cooked, but if you are in heart of the Ozarks and you can't serve a decent biscuit w/ something resembling real gravy (you know, w/ uh flavor) and scrabbled eggs with some remaining moisture at 6:55 a.m., then maybe you should cut your patrons a break and not offer this calamity all day. read more

Disappointing! The four of us ordered three different things. My daughter got chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and corn. The potatoes and corn were cold. My father and I ordered the special of the day. The soup was cold. They took it back to microwave it for us. The soup was so watery, I couldn't eat it. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

My family came here for breakfast one day while on vacation in Branson, and I must say it was probably my favorite of the week. I found the restaurant inviting, the servers friendly and quick, and the food delicious. I had two eggs & ham - the ham steak was much larger than I expected and tasted great. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well, the biscuits & gravy getting two thumbs up. I will definitely come back to this place next time I'm in Branson. read more

Cute little place right on Main St. We picked it because I was looking for a place that had good eggs benedict. First, the eggs were a little underdone. I asked for over medium and they were pretty much over easy. Second, the muffin wasn't even toasted. The hollandaise wasn't bad, but didn't have much taste. I don't think there was any lemon in the sauce at all. My husband had the skillet breakfast. He said the sausage gravy was good. read more

Delicious food, quick service, and fairly priced. I had the ham and egg omelet and it was fantastic! A lot of food.

OK this place has to be kept a secrete. We had the pleasure of eating at this place not once but twice. The service is extremely friendly and very helpful. The wife and I had 2 of their most famous plates. The chicken fried steak is really good and great portion sizes along with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. I had the open pot or roast and man oh man this was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. nice tender roast with a brown gravy on a homemade bread and mashed potatoes. Even the vegetables were great tasting and I hate vegetables but i ate these...Overall if your ever close by and you need some gooooood eat stop here and they will take care of you.. read more

We were actually headed to the Farmhouse Restaurant across the street which had a line out the door. Saw this place was well rated and no line so decided to try it. It was a great choice. Nice staff, clean restaurant and everything was cooked exactly as we asked. Decent prices as well. I would definitely recommend it. read more

With all the home diner places to eat in Branson it is hard to choose which one to go to....if you have settled in to the Branson Cafe, you have chosen wisely. It was lunchtime and the place was packed....but we found a table just as someone was leaving. Our waitress was an older lady...like most of the Branson population...she was sweet as their pies. We had the hot hame and cheese, the frito pie and fried chicken breasts. All were very good...real home cooking. I'll just say I am not a fan of black eyed peas...but my husband got them as a side and I couldn't stop eating them. The side salad was nothing special, but the rolls they bring are yummy. All in all....if I come come back Branson, I will come back here. read more

Had the Chicken Fried Steak, with homemade mashed potatoes, corn and a roll. Not bad, but I have had a much better Chicken Fried Steak. My wife had the open roast beef sandwich and the brown gravy was very good. This is a very busy place, so be prepared to wait, but the food is very good. read more

I came to the restaurant with my family on the raves of a group of people who had just eaten there. I didn't think to look for reviews on Yelp until after we sat down. Fortunately the Yelp reviews were good. My daughter and I had the chicken fried steak. It was hand breaded, and very tasty. The portion size was perfect. If you are looking for a gigantic, hang-off-the-sides-of-the-plate chicken fry, go somewhere else. The dinner also includes mashed potatoes, vegetable and salad. The waitstaff is very polite and busy keeping your glasses filled and tables bussed and cleaned. You will not go wrong eating here the next time you are in Downtown Branson. read more

Skip the pancakes and get a pecan roll. The sides are pretty pricey and the breakfast food was okay.
