Honorable Mention 

1. Grand Country

1. Billy Gail's is a don't miss for at least 1 breakfast every visit to Branson. Our children love it. And since the meals are gigantic, they can easily be split. 

All my children love the pancakes. I love the fried fish, my husband's favorite is the chicken Fried Steak but also the Fish. My son really likes the burgers and fried okra! 

Trust me, 2 kids can usually split a kids meal, and 2 adults can usually split a adult meal. A kids meal is plenty for most adults!

2. Smithcreek at the Landing - free samples of Moonshine!!! Lol plus they really do have fantastic Hamburgers. I don't normally like Hamburgers, but I love Smithcreeks. They are extremely friendly. And my entire family, including our children all love the atmosphere and the food!

3. Shogun's - 

4. Sugar Leaf - I have been going here for decades. Very nice lunch cafe. Coffee, sandwiches, Soups and baked goods. Very nice atmosphere at Grand Village.

5. Steamy Joe's - yummy, almost the sane options as Sugar Leaf, cappuccinos, sandwiches, Soups, pastries, and absolutely beautiful views of the lake a Ozarks. 

6. Lambert's - we love them. I only put them in 5th place because they are not directly in Branson. My husband and kids like their steak best. I like the grilled salmon best. We are not fans of their corn, or green beans, but the candied yams, and beans are delicious. They have all you can eat pass arounds - fried okra (my kids love it!!!), black eyed peas, fried potatoes and onions, Macaroni and tomatoes  and amazing hot rolls, better than Texas Roadhouse!!

Keep in mind even though the servings are huge, you also get unlimited second helpings of whatever main course you order as well!

7. Flatcreek, in Cape Fair, do NOT mistake for Fallcreek! We love this restaurant. Huge, delicious portions. Fantastic seafood, very good prices! They also currently own Billy Gail's! So if you like Billy Gail's, you will most likely love Flatcreek. 

It's only number 6 on my list, because it's not technically in Branson. But, it's worth the 20 minute drive!

Honorable Mention 

1. Grand Country Buffet - the main reason this is on Honorable Mention, is I don't really care for Buffets. But, this is one I can tolerate! It's one of the better ones I have been to. Most people love it. Most my family really does enjoy it as well.

2. Mellow Mushroom - the main reason this is a Honorable Mention, is because it is a chain. However, it's only 1 of 4 chains in the USA that offers dairy free pizza. And we personally do not have a local one to us. This is the best dairy free pizza we have ever had. And they have really yummy, unique pizza toppings and flavors to mix and match. Best Hawaiian pizza I have ever had. The Holy Shirtaki is also delicious! We have tried several others too, and loved all of them.

3. Pizza Ranch - also on the Honorable Mention because of being a chain. It's better than Cicis for the pizza itself, but not my favorite pizza. However  my kids love it. And my husband and I like the fried chicken and soup. As well as kids eat free on Tuesdays. So makes it extremely affordable. They also have soft serve ice cream and Rootbeer, and my kids love making Rootbeer Floats for dessert. The hot chocolate chip cookie pie is also delicious!
