Restaurants in Branson

Could someone who has been to Branson in the past few months make some recommendations for restaurants? Or anything else you especially enjoyed. Thanks!

Lots of good places to eat with a wide selection of prices, types of food. High end: Candlestick Inn on a bluff overlooking Branson on the east side of town; Level 2 in the Hilton Hotel downtown - outstanding steakhouse, very pricey; Chateau on the Lake Resort - very good food, somewhat expensive; Local favorites & moderate prices: Most any restaurant on the Branson Landing - Cantina Larado, Joe's Crab Shack, Old Chicago Pizza. Others: Florentinas for good Italian, behind the Grand Palace; Gilberti's for Pizza - ask for directions; Danna's for BBQ; Billy Bob's for good hamburger; BillyGails for breakfast - on Hwy 265 just west of town. Also try the Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks. Check out the Chamber of Commerce website for more info on the area: www.explorebranson.com. Have a great time in Branson!

Other good shows are Souji Tabuchi, The Baldknobbers, Pierce Arrow, Chinese Acrobats.

There is food basically at every third store.

We like Cantina Laredo and Famous Dave BBQ, which are located in Branson Landing.

We like the Bass Pro Shop restaurant at Branson Landing, (forgot the name), but it's at the very end. Also, the steak place near the Hilton is good. Have not found really great eats in all my trips to Branson, but you won't starve. The Candlelight Inn is very nice, but I found it extremely pricey for the area.

I second the recommendation of the restaurant at Keeter Center http://www.keetercenter.edu/dining.asp?page=4
Had lunch there a few weeks ago and the food was very good, huge portions; we felt it was a good value. the lodge building is a grand space and the location is an antidote to the Branson strip. The College of the Ozarks campus is an interesting place to visit, with an old mill, tractor museum, another museum that is a hodgepodge of all kinds of things, and chapel with beautiful stained glass windows.

there are several zipline outfits which our friends enjoyed.

the Branson Scenic Railroad is interesting, if you would like to experience train cars from the 40s-60s. the cars are getting a bit shabby in places. http://www.bransontrain.com/

Dick's 5 & 10 in old downtown Branson is a lot of fun---it is a dimestore like I remember going to in the 60s. The best sections imo are the sewing, kitchen gadgets, and toys and games. http://www.dicksoldtime5and10.com/default.html (there is a "five and ten" store at the Landing but that is not Dick's.)

there are all kinds of chain restaurants to be found; we had a good dinner at Landry's.

For a fantastic show, try to see Brule'. Native American dancers and music that are outstanding. We saw them last Friday night and were thrilled by the performance. They can also be seen on RFD-TV Monday nights.
