The Live Entertainment Capital World needs to be well fed. The many merchants, entertainers, and business owners in Branson understand that a happy customer is not a hungry one.

Billy Bob’s Dairyland – 1901 W 76th Country Blvd – Branson, MO
It’s not uncommon to hear the words “best burger I’ve ever had” inside Billy Bob’s Dairyland. One reviewer warns that the double cheeseburger is so big that you’ll need a fork! This old school, traditional American diner is connected to a gas station like the best truck stop restaurants of yesteryear. It’s easy to miss Billy Bob’s while driving on the W 76, so keep your eyes peeled for the Shell station. Also keep in mind that Billy Bob’s only accepts cash.
The Keeter Center – 1 Opportunity Ave – Branson, MO
The Keeter Center is a unique restaurant in that it is completely run by college students. Enrollees at the College of the Ozarks can bypass their tuition by working in the restaurant, or the accompanying hotel that is also in the building. Diners shouldn’t worry about the quality of food, as The Keeter Center is routinely ranked as one of the best restaurants in the region. They pride themselves on creating “farm to fork” dishes that will leave your mouth watering.
