The Keeter Center: The Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks is well known and highly thought of for its unique and classy dining experience. The Keeter Center is an on-campus work station for many of the students at this debt free school – from cooking and preparing the food in the kitchen, to busing tables, to cleaning up afterwards, the students at College of the Ozarks are deeply involved with every aspect of the dining room. Many of the menu options at the Keeter Center are local, coming from the campus gardens, or the beef and pork farms, or even the on campus dairy. This fine Branson dining option is one you won’t want to miss!
Pasghettis: This new Branson dining option on Highway 76 (also known as The Strip and the main drag) is a fun and exciting Italian experience. Authentic pasta and salads, plus a classy wine bar all contribute to this restaurant’s appeal. If you think you might not be able to find it, don’t worry – the giant green pepper, tomato and fork mounted on the side of the building are massive enough to be in the Guinness Book of World Records! Favorites like Chicken Alfredo, Pasta Carbonara and Basil Shrimp Pesto plus more can all be found at Pasghettis.
Fuddruckers: For a tasty burger experience, make lunch or dinner plans at Fuddruckers, also located on The Strip! This classic burger diner features choices like bacon cheeseburgers, spicy burgers smothered with guacamole, chicken sandwiches and even elk and bison burgers! You can pair your hefty burger with regular or sweet potato fries, and finish it all off with a cool and creamy old fashioned milkshake. A kid’s menu is available as well for little burger eaters!
Cantina Laredo: For a spicy modern take on Mexican cuisine, visit Cantina Laredo at the Branson Landing. This popular Branson dining location features classic Mexican favorites with five star service, and a beautiful view of Lake Taneycomo while you dine!
