Had the best strawberry funnel cake. Ever!! Sundaes are good and pies too!! Great little 50's diner

Cakes & Creams in Branson is such a fun little treat stop if you're in town and want really yummy dessert. It has that classic vacation town feeling where getting ice cream just feels like part of the whole trip. Plus they have funnel cake and how can you not stop for funnel cake?! Great spot to cool off after walking around all day too! They have a lot of options, so it's easy to find something that sounds good whether you want pizza, hot dogs, a burger, ice cream, cake, or something extra sweet. Portions were generous in traditional diner fashion, everything was delish as well! Inside can get busy, especially during peak tourist times when we were there, so expect a little chaos and line movement going slow depending when you go. That's pretty normal for Branson, but worth knowing if you're tired or in a hurry. Overall, a pretty great stop! read more

I also love this place. The atmosphere is so cool and they normally always have a performer outside which is normally an Elvis impersonator. They have a drive-in movie behind the restaurant so if you wanted to go and see a movie you could. The atmosphere is definitely 50s and it's really cool and all of the ice cream is delicious and all the food is amazing as well. read more

Ordered a coconut pie and it had a really bad taste. I asked for a refund and they refused. I threw it away and I love coconut pie. My wife tasted it and she also said it tasted bad. Their ice cream is good but that is because it is Blue Bunny. Has a 50s vibe diner atmosphere. read more

We have driven past this place many times, but the sign for funnel cakes caught my eye on a recent trip. There is ample parking in the steeply slanted parking lot. I was greeted quickly and everyone was really friendly. The restaurant is set up like a classic diner, and offers burgers, pizza, etc. I was just there for dessert, so I ordered a funnel cake. It was made to order with your choice of toppings, but I chose the basic one with just powdered sugar. Sadly, it was disappointing. The cake was super thick and dense and not very crispy. It was ok, but not what hoped for. I also took a couple pieces of pie for my group to enjoy later. The cheesecake and the Reese's pie were both pretty good. read more

Needed a little something after our show. This is one of the few places opened later. The service is fast and friendly. This is an old school diner. Love that old school feel. Great little snack, chili cheese fries and some ice cream. read more

All I can say is, "Oh My Goodness-the PIE!". I had the coconut cream and hubby had the regular Apple ala mode and they were both delicious. The custard in the coconut cream was cold, creamy and laced with coconut and topped with a perfect level of whipped crème. I'm not a whipped cream girl but it was pretty tastee! The ambiance of this place is fun and retro. There is a main jukebox at the front and smaller options at some of the tables. The menu included about six different pies and several types of cheesecake. There were also several ice cream options as well as diner food, like burgers and dogs and sandwiches. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who eats. read more

Went to Cakes-n-Creams 50's Diner in Branson over spring break, and this place was absolutely packed--hardly a table in sight. It definitely has that busy, touristy energy, and it gets pretty loud inside, so just be ready for that kind of atmosphere. The servers were friendly, and even though there was a bit of a wait to place our order, the food came out really fast once it was in. Overall, a fun and lively spot, especially if you don't mind the crowd. read more

Everything about this place is a 5 Star. From the friendly and helpful staff to the food and atmosphere! We already said we are coming back here everytime we visit Branson and maybe even back for dinner tonight! read more

Cakes & Creams - Forgot to take a picture of my food but I took this pictures, I couldn't get over the beauty of this place! - Pizza Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Was looking for a new place to have some ice cream. I always look for local places before going to a chain. This place is super cute, plenty of seating and even has an arcade to keep the little ones busy. There are so many options for desserts and food! Prices are really not bad for a touristy place! read more

We were excited to eat at a diner. The music was amazing! The line was long so we waited with anticipation. I ordered the pecan pie, root-beer float, and brisket sandwich. $8.00 pecan pie that was so small a baby would not have had enough to satisfy. The root-beer float was flat. If you remember the "where's the beef" commercials, that's what I was asking,. Where's the brisket? The brisket was missing in the sandwich. The image in the photo was definitely deceiving. Disappointing experience! read more

Great look and good food only problem is was expecting and 50's diner type of place but other then that is was great

This place is great in a land of great (Branson). If you like Happy Days and American Graffiti this place is right up your alley. The ambiance is 1950's dinner - music playing and little table top jukeboxes z the service is counter order, counter pick up, but it is fast and the people are friendly. The food is great, unfortunately we were too full to try dessert but it looked great. read more

Old school late night hamburger joint that was one of the better places to eat in Branson! Friendly staff even 30 minutes before closing. They even made a fresh pot of coffee! Pies were great! Visited twice. Good food and a fun place. read more

Saw the reviews and a ton of YouTubers saying how great the food and experience was. Of course the arcade sold my kids. We being foodies and gamers this seemed like the best start to our vacation. Unfortunately the burgers were terrible they were almost the same texture and taste as the ones from elementary school. Basically they threw a ton of seasoning on it and threw it on a soft bun that turned mush almost immediately. Service was meh. The juke boxes at the tables advertised "we work try it" of course my 10 year old excited drops her own quarter in and nothing. No music, no song she selected, so I grab the employees attention and she tells me "oh the tables... yea sometimes they work it's why you should have used the big one over there." Not the response I was expecting but ok whatever it was only a quarter (At least she wasn't rude about) but still zero care. On top of everything it was 73 dollars!!!! For 5 under whelming burgers and fries. Now it wasn't all bad the desert we got the kids was pretty awesome, if I had just come in for desert this would have been a 5 star experience. So eat somewhere else and grab desert here and you will be very happy. read more

Upsides are the food and the classic feel of a wild and packed diner experience. The burgers were great, the fries, the rings, and the dessert. The wait was a bit insane and yet very understandable and worth most of it. The one downside that hit so hard was the fact that they wouldn't or couldn't split the dessert order from the food. A hot funnel cake will melt the ice cream into mush if not eaten right away... so one has to eat absolutely quick, or make a decision between a fresh and hot burger, or a fresh and hot funnel cake experience. Five to seven minutes wait on dessert would have saved this score. read more

We stop here every year we go to Branson at least twice! We stop for lunch or dinner and desert or just desert. The place is always busy but worth the wait. It's clean and the staff is always nice. Don't forget to visit on drive in night. The food is always great haven't had a bad meal there. read more

Prices are fair but honestly the place stressed me out. The old loud music is fine but some dude kept screaming on the intercom when orders were ready and you couldn't even understand what he was saying. Funnel cake was excellent. Adding ice cream and syrup is a lot of sugar we aren't really used to I guess. Ice cream is just blue bunny brand. We didn't get any hot food but it looked on par with the type of place. The worst part was thinking there was some jerk bassing in the parking lot making the windows shake and then 20 minutes in realizing it was their own sound system bassing out doo-wop music It was novel to us and only cost us $24 but it's not on the list to do again. They had some arcade games in the back too but we didn't hang around to play those. read more

Service was great. The ambiance is great. 50's dinner style with great music. Everything everyone in our party got was so good. Funnel cake, ice cream, shake, burger, fries, onion rings & steak sandwich. And it's open until 10. read more

I hate leaving any review less than 5 star, but when it warrants it, I have to. The place was packed when we walked in. The woman wiping tables was nice, but that was about it. The girl taking the order kept looking around like she had other plans. She didn't listen to my husband's order & it was wrong. We were short on time, so just took what we got. The funnel cake was disgusting. It was undercooked & tasted like it was made with pancake mix. I would not recommend. read more

The restaurant does not have table service. You order as you walk in then pay. You seat yourself. When your order is ready, you pick it up yourself. The restaurant has a cramped feeling about it and the food is average. You will pay a credit card fee if you use a card. The restaurant has a good theme but would be nicer if there were waitresses dressed in 50's garb. Or if the employees were a little more friendly. If you don't mind all of the above, give it a try. It was busy when we were there so obviously they do a good business. read more

Not that great. Stopped in here after a show. It was very busy. The grilled cheese, the cheese wasn't even melted. Got the chicken bacon ranch sandwich, they were out of ranch so it was a dry slab of chicken. Not good. The pulled pork sandwich was greasy. Overall. Not good. Maybe the dessert is good, I couldn't say, didn't try it. read more

We've been here twice and really enjoyed it. We've had their food and ice cream and they do a great job. I will say it's usually really busy and the staff hustles hard. Seating could be an issue depending on the time of day you go. read more

Love this place we come here every time we come to Branson. Word to the wise if your gonna get a burger make it a single less you have a huge appetite cause they are huge. I got a double with bacon and thought I was gonna blow up..lol..service was very nice and pleasant and very friendly. Thank you so much..we'll be back again.oh yeah and love the decor of this place very 50's read more

Loved this place. Wonderful vibe, delicious food. There's little jukeboxes at all of the booths that take one quarter to play a song and the song plays over all of the speakers not just at your table. We've been down here for almost a week now eating out all 3 meals a day and this is our favorite so far! read more

I ordered the chicken pot pie. It looked and tasted like vomit on a plate. You need to remove this item from the menu. Others said the hamburgers tasted like fake meat. The sodas and iced tea was not even good. One person ordered s milkshake and could not drink it. Everything was terrible. Save your money and go somewhere else!! read more

went on the 4th of july, and the place was obviously very packed! but the employees were so kind and calm. food came out incredibly fast and hot given the busy circumstances! the burger was juicy and the fries were perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. highly recommend! read more

Great theme place, and the ice cream is good. Read the other reviews regarding how to order and how it's delivered. I don't want to be redundant. However, we were shocked at the customer service and attitude we were met with when ordering. The girl literally put her hand on her head in frustration at having to take our family's order. At this point, I would have just walked out, but my family wanted to experience the ambience. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant a lot! Food was good and we got to sit outside in the back and watch the drive-in movie while eating! It was great!

This place is awesome! We stopped in on our spring break for some sweet treats. Everything was delicious. We had the funnel cake which was large enough for all six of us. Husband also ordered the apple pie ala mode which was absolutely fresh and hit the spot for him. Our daughter ordered the chocolate pie and was very pleased with it. The ambience is very cool and the kids enjoyed learning about table side jukeboxes. read more

Best BBQ brisket we've ever had plus the tator tots are cooked to perfection!!! Great customer service and music!!! Thank You!!! God Bless You!!! read more

The ambiance of this place is super super cute! We came during Christmas time and it was decorated so nicely with the perfect Christmas music to top it off. It definitely has a 50's vibe to it with the rock n roll juke box. My shake could definitely been better. My husband loved it, but my strawberry shake was so so sweet! Like straight sugar. Now my husband got the cake & cream funnel cake with chocolate and caramel topping and that was GOOOD! Service was fairly quick considering how packed this place was. The line moved quickly and everyone left happy. This place is a hidden gem! read more

The service was quick and good! The food was great and fairly priced. The diner theme is cool and this place is very cool!

Very clean, friendly, quick service. Turtle sundae was good but needed more toppings. Hot fudge instead of chocolate syrup would have been nice but will ask next time. Banana split was great. Big. Lots of each topping. Strawberry vanilla and chocolate ice cream as well as the topping. Definitely enough to share. Funnel cake was just ok. Kinda dry but I opted out of the strawberry topping. I was afraid it would be soggy. Either way it was good and I dipped it in my husbands ice cream. Lol Would definitely go again. read more

The parking lot is completely adequate for cars and trucks NOT an RV (as an rv camper I noticed). We didn't have our's connected so in we went. I'm so glad we did. This place is the real deal. Completely clean, nostalgically cute, and charmingly photogenic. All the fare is homemade and totally delectable. The 6 of us stopped for a midday snack of blackberry cobbler, apple-pecan-caramel pie (both ice with cream), fried chicken Sammy, 2 hamburgers, fries, coffee, lemonade and we shared all around. The pie / cobbler crusts were flaky, tender, recognizable fruit filling and rich vanilla ice cream. The accompanying coffee was fresh. The chicken sandwich was fried and certified crispy -- not greasy at all. The French fries, oh those French fries! They had a little coating before frying and were certified crispy, yet soft inside. I do believe these were the best "plain" fries I've ever eaten ... no joke. I'm not normally a French fry girl but I will eat these again. I personally didn't taste the burgers but the others were raving. It is busy but they have an efficient system. The servers were sweet and seemed to enjoy their customers. We liked it so well ... We went back for the free drive-in. That time 2 couples got funnel cake and the other couple got a medium ice cream. I'm not normally a big funnel cake eater because they're too greasy. This was like a unique pastry topped with real recognizable strawberry topping. I say recognizable because it's obviously homemade and not smashed up strawberry flavored goo. Again the vanilla ice cream and a cherry on top. We've been to Branson several times through the years and have never stopped. We were wrong and will return every single time we are in the area. Go right now if you're in Branson and you're welcome! No read more
