Branson Food

[History Buff]

Where do you just have to eat when you're in Branson?

What should we avoid?

[Copper]

Cantina Laredo is the best Mexican restaurant in Branson. The food is not greasy like most Mexican restaurant and has flavor.

Moon River Grill has great art work, lots of Andy Warhol and great drinks. It is a good place to go late because it is open till midnight and one on weekends.

^Copper, where is Cantina Laredo located?

We always go to Cakes n' Cream for dessert.

Everytime we go to Branson we always try to try something new. Last time we ate at a barbeque joint that was really good but I can't remember the name now.

[Copper]

Cantina Laredo is located in the Branson Landing. You can sit on their patio and watch the water and fire show.

I go to Branson 6 times a year and still have never been to the Landing.  We even stay downtown.

[Copper]

I go to Branson four times a week. I live in Springfield and the only thing my friends want to do is go to SDC, Table Rock Lake Tanger Mall and the Branson Landing. They make fun of the shows; I guess the shows really aren’t for the college aged crowd.

Famous Dave's on the Landing

My family loves Farmhouse Kitchen. Then we go to the 5 and dime.

montana mike's is great. if i remember right its located on 76     i would avoid the pizza buffet at sdc  haha

Avoid:  Uptown Cafe:  We've been there when it wasn't busy around 8 PM and it took forever for our food to arrive.  When it did arrive it was cold.   Steak 'N Shake:  The food has never been very good the times we've been there.  Once during a rush they seated us, then proceeded to inform us that they ran out of forks and spoons! 

Musts:   Cracker Barrel Old Country Store:  Great atmosphere, great food, and great service.  What more do you need?   Landry's Seafood House:  A unique place to eat.  It's a place where you can go in jeans and t-shirts or more formal attire and fit in.  Great food and the service is always wonderful!

Shorty Small's BBQ is really good. We've ate there twice I think.

^We've ate at Landry's before. It was all right, I'm just not that much of a seafood person.

This is outside of Branson but, have you guys ever ate at Lambert's Cafe in Ozark? That place is amazingly good.

[haytater]

^^ It's funny, my parents and I usually start talking about making the Silver Dollar City trip when we eat at Cracker Barrel (in Oklahoma) because the atmospheres are so similar. My family also always eats at OUTBACK in Branson. It's not the chain, Outback Steakhouse. It's much better than that.

^Holy Cow!  I completely forgot about the Outback!  That place is definitely a must!  Great food, with an Australian flair.  That was where I ate frog legs and alligator tail for the first time.

^^I've eaten at Lambert's three or four times.  Home of the throwed rolls!    It is amazingly good, and very filling.  They come around with all of the sides, so you're practically full before your food even arrives.  The only place I've eaten where they walk around with a vat of sorghum molasses.  It's a must as well. 

[Coaster]

^Yeah I've felt the exact same way. I've only finished one of my meals there because I was so full from rolls, fried potatoes, and sorghum.

For those of you that haven't ate there before beware, there is ALWAYS a long wait. Especially on Sunday after the James River Assembly church service gets out.

[adairmd]

I went there on the 18th for the first time.  It sure won't be the last.  We got there early enought that we only had to wait around 5 minutes.  Yes, before James River gets out.  When we were leaving, there were people waiting outside, a lot of people.  It would have been worth the wait though.
