I had Gail's Famous Omelet - Ham, mushrooms, cheddar jack cheese, onions and green and red peppers. The omelet was perfect in thickness and the toppings were balanced.

I'm a big fan of grits and it's hard to find places that serve them, so I was excited when I saw grits on the menu. It's hard to mess up this type of food, so it's my go to when eating breakfast at a place like this. I thought they did a good job. The amount of food received was good, however the bacon was my only complaint. It was almost paper thin. I like the crunch that you get from this type of bacon, but it's definitely not a lot of bacon. Prices are very reasonable and the staff was friendly. We got in and out in less than an hour, so I felt that was good. Normally when I'm in this area we are camping so I cook. This was a nice change and I was glad to try something different.

Stopped into Steamy Joe's Café on a Sunday morning fully prepared for a "put your name down and…read morerethink your life choices" kind of wait. Imagine our surprise when we were quoted 35-minute wait (down the road was 1.5 hours) and a family in front of us had left for their 4th breakfast spot! It turned into us being seated, ordered, and sipping drinks within that actual timeframe! Not sure if this Rare. Magical. Suspiciously efficient. What I did notice is this crew has service dialed in. It was like watching a well-rehearsed dance--servers working together, drinks magically staying full, plates appearing exactly when they should. Tables everywhere: outside, upstairs, downstairs, tucked into every possible nook it looks. If there is square footage, Steamy Joe's found a way to seat people on it. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, drinks, and pies that deserve their own fan club. We had a few special orders in our group (you know who you are), and they nailed every single one without hesitation. Yes, there was even a line just to put your name on the list --and honestly, worth it. Bonus points for the fabulous view out back, which makes the wait even easier to forgive. We will absolutely be back. Just maybe not at peak Sunday brunch time... because clearly everyone else already knows how good this place is.

Stopped on our way to visit family in MO for a quick bite to eat…read more By far one of my favorite road trip stops. We had the meatloaf sandwich which was moist and juicy perfected by just the right amount of mayo and large fresh juicy slices of tomatoes. We had a side of chili which had great flavor but a little bit too watery for my taste and definitely not warm enough for me. On our way out we grabbed some apple butter and peach whiskey butter. And of course after eyeing the dessert we went with the carrot cake and 2 cookies because we couldn't decide. The carrot cake was moist and flavorful and crunchy and smooth frosting was perfection. By far the best carrot cake I've ever had. The cookies were snickerdoodle and blueberry lemon and white chocolate.

I think it was heated in the microwave because it was sooo hot. The crust was flaky and buttery, delicious! The only downside was some of it was on the hard side I am assuming from a microwave. Overall it was very good. My husband had biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were the lightest fluffiest biscuit I've ever had! He thought that they exceptional but couldn't eat it all! I don't mind the use of a microwave except when it changes the quality of the food.

There was something off-putting about the CFS. I didn't care for the coating or the gravy. I'd give it a 2/5. My stepmom gave it a 4/5. Her tastebuds are broken. My dad enjoyed his omelette and said the veggies were lightly sautéed and not greasy. The service was good. The wait was not worth the taste of the CFS, but honestly, 0 minutes of waiting is not worth the CFS. I typically love CFS, but in this case, I wish I had tried the French toast instead. Me: 2/5 (based solely on taste, 5/5 for portion size) Stepmom: 4/5 Dad: 5/5 then amended to 8/10, which is 4/5

The dining hall is beautifully adorned with cabin-esque motif and overlooks the campus and mountains. The menu has a great variety and notes items that are made by the students (e.g. butters and cakes). Their complimentary, fresh made bread basket with three types of butters was a fantastic start to the meal. We ordered the mushroom soup, the pork belly sandwich w/ fries, and the shrimp and grits. I will say that the pork belly po' boy was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I almost stayed in town longer on the second day just to order it again. The pork belly was smoky, tender, and sweet and paired so well with the grain mustard, pickled onions and arugula -- superb balance of flavors. My husband also noted the shrimp and grits was some of the best he's ever had. The shrimp and pork belly in the dish were perfectly cooked and the Cajun spices were well balanced. And we have to tell you to try their fresh desserts. The brown butter chocolate cake was a special ending to the meal. This is an excellent stop and our student server provided excellent service - they're doing a great job there and is a highly recommended of ours during your stop during your visit to Branson.
