Life just keeps getting more and more expensive, which means most of us have a budget. But having a budget doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a meal out every now and then. Missouri’s brimming with restaurants that offer it all – from affordable prices to delicious food. Next time you’re heading out for a meal, make it to this budget-friendly restaurant in Branson.
A stroll down West Main Street in Branson will inevitably take you past an adorable café that’s brimming with old-school charm. When you see the storefront for Branson Café, go in.
Giving this old-fashioned restaurant glowing reviews, diners describe it as “extremely affordable,” “fun and historic,” and “a hidden treasure.” Branson Café opened in 1910, making it the oldest restaurant in town.
While you’re sure to feel right at home in this cozy spot, it’s the food that will likely win you over, compelling you to return again and again. Craving a classic breakfast? Good news! It’s served all day.
However, you can only order pancakes and French toast until 11 a.m., so keep that in mind when planning your visit.

From made-from-scratch cinnamon rolls to biscuits and gravy, the scrumptious breakfast dishes will leave you happily stuffed. You can’t go wrong with a skillet either.
Branson Café serves both breakfast and lunch, and you’ll definitely want to stop by for both. Heading in for lunch? How about treating yourself to a handheld? Burgers, BLTs, and chicken breast are among your choices.
One glance at the homestyle entrees, though, will leave you with quite a dilemma. What will you order? Chicken fried chicken, meatloaf, and country-fried steak are a few favorites.
Each entrée comes with a homemade dinner roll and two sides. Sides range from French fries and mashed potatoes to baked beans and potato salad.
No matter how absolutely stuffed you are – and chances are you’ll be full – don’t pass by a decadent dessert. A slice of pie or fruit cobbler with ice cream is a tasty ending to a delicious meal.
