Great Places to Stay for Dining
The restaurants in Branson are unlikely to win any Michelin stars, and the city will never feature on lists of the top places to go for foodies. Eating out reflects the city's residents, with no airs and graces. Book a room in Downtown Branson for buffet meals, dinner shows, and home-style cooking in cozy cafés perfect for a family vacation. For a more upscale experience, accommodations in the Branson Theater District are close to St. James Winery where complimentary wine tastings are offered at Missouri's largest winery. Decent diners and homespun cafés can be found in Lampe, where hotels are closer to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park for family-friendly restaurants serving hearty steaks, burgers, and pizzas.
