    Food was generally fine. Service was so bad we wouldn't have been surprised if a hidden camera crew popped out to say we were being Punk'd. "Ashton, where you at?!" Real thoughts. We chose this spot based on its all-day breakfast menu, which works well with young kids in tow, proximity to our lodging and its decent reviews. We arrived around 5:30. Service staff seemed stressed and unhappy. Running around. We waited to be seated per the entrance sign. Eventually asked to be seated. Our party was split between two tables. Happens, we understand. But there seemed to be solutions (especially since we called ahead and they knew we were coming) that they weren't open to. Again, we get it... Waited what seemed like an eternity for drink orders to be taken. Watched several other parties, one fairly large, leave before ordering out of frustration. Not in a hurry and assuming trying to get in anywhere else on a Saturday night, well after 6 at this point would take just as long, we stuck it out. Finally, time to take orders - kids start to excitedly order pancakes. All-day breakfast, ya know?! Nope! Joke was on us. "Oh, we're not doing breakfast anymore." L. o. L. Today? Ever? It wasn't clear. Managed mini-human melt downs and got alternate orders in. Took. Forrrrr. Ever. Drinks were never refilled even upon request and reminder. Appetizer ordered never came even with a reminder. Sweet tea was so watered down it was not drinkable. Observed around 7 staff doing very little. Lots of people standing around and not much else. One younger staff member was on break on her phone in the dining room. Talking to another staff member or vendor perhaps as he was in a different uniform also on break in the dining area. Another staff member called to her from the kitchen. She was so annoyed. Young gal later snagged some dessert from the display and enjoyed it just beyond the kitchen. Yolo. Treat yo'self, sis! The back and forth was... entertaining? Maybe mystifying better captures it. Paying for our meals was also chaotic, as expected. But the geese and turtles just outside - so fun! We get laid back lake life. That's why we're here. But this was just bizarre it was so slow and so lackadaisical.

    Feeding

    Went Thursday lunch hour. Cuban Sandwich was OK. Very unfortunate they advertise Swiss cheese but sneak white American cheese which I had to scrape off. Wrap, breakfast, burger, turkey melt were better. Service was short staffed but the one waitress was good at handling a busy rush. Really cool turtles, ducks, geese and fish to feed, 1$ for a big bag of feed, entertaining for kids while you wait

    We have been going to this Cafe for 8 years and always loved it. I know it has changed hands and they can't seem to get it together. Partly could be finding good help due to COVID. When you first walk in you have to stand and wait to be seated. They keep walking past and no one ever acknowledges you and you can stand for 20 minutes. Most people leave at that point. We should have today. But this morning I was willing to wait because the food has always been worth the wait but not today. We sat down and waited another 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. From the time we walked in the door till we received our food was an one hour and half. My country fried steak was burnt and my hashbrowns were not done and the gravy looked very sketchy. Needless to say I won't be back. Makes me sad because it was a nice morning boat ride to breakfast.

    This place is my favorite breakfast spot. Right on the lake by Indian Point Marina; the service is great and the staff is so friendly. A must every time I go to the lake!

    Poor food. Poor service. The portions were small and the price was steep. What else does anyone look for in a restaurant?

    Service was great. Cheese curds were amazing! Pancakes, hash, and omelets were delicious.

My husband loved the Rueben so much, that he ordered it twice to eat at the same time. The owners are very hospitable and kind beings. Highly recommend this as a must stop for breakfast/brunch lunch in Branson. We will see you again!

    We stopped in very early this past Tuesday morning to get "breakfast with a view," and Steamy Joe…read moredefinitely delivered! For the aesthetic girlies, this place is VERY cute! It was quite a foggy morning, so I couldn't get a photo to capture the view from their atrium, but definitely rolling hills for miles. They have a few outside seating options as well. The service could not have been better. This is a counter-order and refill your own coffee kind of place, but that didn't stop the wonderful staff who came to our table multiple times to refill our waters and coffee. The coffee was made JUST RIGHT, I didn't feel the need to splurge for a latte. Both of our orders were delicious. My boyfriend got the "pile up" and I will tell you, that their gravy was top notch. I opted for the eggs Benny, and was impressed with their hollandaise sauce (which I am picky about)-- it was very well balanced albeit a tiny bit broken. All in all, a great experience. I will definitely have this in my rotation when I'm in town this coming fall.
