Bloody Mary
Vicky N.

On our last morning, we deliberately selected Branson Café for breakfast, and our choice was rewarded. With a rich history dating back to 1910, the café continues to uphold its reputation for serving outstanding, homemade-style dishes. Branson Café stands as a testament to the casual eatery, providing hearty, home-cooked meals in a welcoming atmosphere. The oversized cinnamon rolls, which initiated our meal, were exceptionally fresh and moist. I am compelled to rank it among the best cinnamon rolls I have experienced. The bloody Mary, distinguished by the inclusion of pickles, was remarkably flavorful, even those not accustomed to such concoctions. Located in the historic district of Branson, the café is open from 6 AM to 2 PM, every day of the week. To locate the restroom, patrons are advised to follow the red brick road that discreetly navigates through the kitchen.

Country fried steak and eggs

Plan to wait during the busy season, weekends, and the height of breakfast. First come, first served. Simple menu with big portions. Order and pay at the table. Card payments accepted. Limited shared parking on the Main Street, parking garage closer to Branson landing about 1/2 mile walk.

Excellent old school diner with a great vibe. The friendly service could not have been better, and our meals were very good. DO try the biscuits if you can, great flavor and just right texture with a bit of butter. Would have been off the charts with some honey- but we forgot to order it. We didn't try them but it's nice that they have adult beverages available. Would we stop in again? You betcha!

A Country Cafe the old fashioned way! Our waitress Rebecca was fast, efficient & friendly! The biscuits are HUGE and dee-lish. The 2-stack pancakes are also HUGE fluffy & yummy!!!! A great place to stop on an empty stomach. Save room for pie!!!

Great food, quick service, older establishment but you can tell they do an amazing job keeping it clean.

What a great local place for breakfast. Located in downtown Branson. If you park and eat you can then walk to the local shops. Great breakfast for a great price!

Fried green tomatoes!

The check in process was lengthy Make sure that you advise you fill out a vehicle registration on line. My check in did not mention the vehicle registration and I received a violation for $75 for not registering my vehicle from a third party vendor. I stay at a lot of hotels and they always advise if a vehicle needs registration at check in and usually provide a marker to identify the vehicle. This turned a nice getaway into a bad experience. Bad way to run a resort

Staff ? Ozark friendly. Are they sincere? Don't know. They ARE all well trained…read more Rooms are tacky. Towels old. Frayed. It's an old school atrium type hotel with glass elevators. This design fell out of favor years ago but I love it. Nice water features inside. Parking? Worst system ever. Not worth explaining. Just a convoluted hassle. Not very "Ozark friendly" thats fer sure! I was exhausted after my 8 hr drive from Chicago and had to go BACK OUT across the vast parking lot in the pitch black Missouri darkness with a QR CODE card they gave me to pay for parking. Etc. AWFUL! "And if I don't?" "We'll give you an 80$ ticket." FAIL! Room was around 300$ for 2 nights. Parking EXTRA. (The parking cost this review 2 stars off.)

The waitresses are attentive and keep your coffee cup full. I especially want to note; at both lunch and breakfast i saw their people taking food temperatures on the buffet. That is a first anywhere. Plus i saw it at both meals. That means they take food safety very seriously. Yes, my favorite and i highly recommend.

I have no damn clue what "Jessica" from "Zebra Strings" was talking about in her review. I was here…read moreat the same time at watched the staff killing themselves with two bus loads of kids in addition to massive amounts of adults. Every tray was carried for every diner with a greeting and a smile. What I saw was hard-working people keeping every drink full. The guys behind the buffet had to constantly deal with kids standing in the way as they carried hot food from the kitchen. No one was rude or even short with anyone patrons. My waitress, Jacqueline, was so very sweet. She kept my drinks full and got me extra plates. Don't listen to the hateful comments on here. This place had great, fresh food with awesome service. I plan to always come back in the future. Next time I'll try the omelet station. It looked amazing!

Finally made it to this well known establishment! Arrived without reservations and had an hour…read morewait, but we were ok with that as there are so many things to look at. Housed inside this venue is a gift shop with items made by the students here, a seating area to enjoy a coffee and snack or an ice cream from the insight ice cream counter! At the one end there is a museum to browse with many interesting articles to read and items to look at. So the wait went fast! Once called for our table we were greeted with the friendliest hostess and shown to our table. She handed each of us our menus and opened them for us. Our waitress, Abigail, was knowledgeable and provided details on the menu items we had questions about. The Fried Pork Belly starter was a table favorite! So tender and full of flavor. The Founders Burger was cooked perfectly and had an amazing brioche bun. Shrimp and Grits had okra in it if that's not your thing. Lastly, the Braised Short Rib served in mashed potato with asparagus. This was a huge portion and the short rib was so delicious. Our table did our ice cream for dessert and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend! We visit the area often and will definitely be back to try more of the menu items. It's a must if in the Branson area and well worth the wait. This restaurant is at College of the Ozarks and students work at this farm to table establishment as well as making items that are for sale in the shops. There is a candle and stained glass shop to drive too and other activities.

This place was highly recommended by locals and travelers to the area. There are several locations,…read morebut we decided on this one. It was bigger, it had a huge area in the front to shop, and they were able to seat the amount of people that we had in our crowd. We only had about a 10 minute wait while the servers cleaned the tables. Once we were seated, we were immediately served our drinks. I had taste for catfish, although I know that they are widely known for their brunch and the 14-inch pancake that they serve. It was around 8pm, so I wanted dinner. I will go back and try it when I am in the area again. Back to my meal...I had three sutchi catfish fillets lightly breaded in Gary's cornmeal concoction, served with hushpuppies. Instead of the fries, I had the okra. The food was pretty good. The fish was my favorite, then the okra. I think if you are in the area, it is definitely worth trying. I will return to try the brunch.
