I’m in Branson on vacation with my Grand girls. Anybody close by?? Where is the best place to eat?? Must do attraction for kids???

You’re in Branson, lol. Everywhere is good. I was there several years ago and remember having a great time with the family.

Lamberts restaurant in Ozark.

The Ole home of the throwed roll. Too much pressure in that place having to catch that roll or get shamed by the whole restaurant and all. LOL.

Billie Gail's has a good breakfast but a big crowd. Now if you can get the grandkids up with the chickens too, you could probably beat the crowd.

Went to college just south of there(College of the Ozarks) and worked in Branson (Presleys Jubilee). Billy Bobs Dairy land (hamburgers) to eat. In no particular order:
Silver Dollar City (take the cave tour also)
Whitewater
Titanic Museum
Ralph Foster Museum
Fish Hatchery tour in back of Table Rock dam
Presleys Jubilee

LOL. Grand Kids Rule and they are still snoozing. LOL.

They would enjoy the indoor water parks at hotels and whitewater.....
We saw a show - Chinese acrobats and those lil communists could really perform some neat feats.....

The fish hatchery below the dam is free to walk around and most folks that have never seen a hatchery find it neat. Kids usually like to see the fish all swimming around.

I'm about 30 minutes away and haven't been there in 15 years so I'm no help.

HAHA! Me too! Too much concrete and asphalt there for me.
I use to work in Branson occasionally and that was all I wanted of the place.

As for a good place to eat,I'd suggest Flat Creek restaurant in Cape Fair but that would be 25 mile NW of Branson.

A hillbilly tourist trap.

B-29 Restuarant in Ozark is awesome.

Rocky ridge farm is in Mansfield. It's where Laura Ingalls weirder lived when she wrote the little hous on the Prarie books. Backer creek seed company is not far from there also if you like to garden and like heirloom seed they are a great family to buy from.

Thanks Guys. Too much to do and not enough time or money. LOL
