Delicious ice cream, large serving, friendly service and reasonable pricing. We tried mint Oreo, banana pudding, raspberry marscapone and espresso ice cream. All were great. It was fun to learn about College of the Ozarks during our visit.

Amazing food and amazing service. What a unique business, atmosphere and experience.

This was our second stop at the Keeter center. On our way back to Fayetteville we stopped for some coffee, bakery items and ice cream! The gluten free blueberry muffin was good and paired perfectly with my latte. The little ice cream shop was open as well so the rest of the crew ordered a small cup for the drive home. Next time we will get the waffle cone!! The only suggestion I can possibly give is..... PLEASE.... Make a gluten free waffle cone!! Simply getting a separate waffle cone iron and having gluten free batter would make this celiac gals dreams come true! And we would probably drive from Fayetteville monthly for date nights

Brunch is AMAZING!!! We will definitely be going back again and again! While you are there, stop at the museum as well. Such a fun experience!

The food is outstanding. The service is outstanding. The Ambiance is outstanding. If you go to Branson Missouri and don't go to the Keeter center, you're doing yourself a disservice. We try to go on every visit. Suggestion: on Sunday they have a buffet, you'll need reservations. Non peak times on other days usually doesn't require a reservation. I encourage you to chat with your server/student. Great kids working here. Also neat places to visit on campus nearby. Additional info: A meal with non-alcoholic drink will be about $60 before tip. Sandwiches instead of a meal are less. Enjoy.

Food was excellent and service was on point. The restaurant is run by the students and I really enjoyed talking with them about their experiences and what they are learning

The food was really awesome. Our server, Kendall did a really great job and went above and beyond with service. Thanks ?Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap ramps from the parking lot.
One word. Amazing. I went there in August of 2023 on the recommendation of the front desk at the place I was staying. I didn't have reservations but because we went early we were able to get in, but I highly recommend making them. This is the Ketter College, and the restaurant is part of the culinary school. Our waiter was extremely pleasant and explained to us how the restaurant worked and that everything is from farm to table. The food was amazing, and if you are in Branson Missouri, this has to be on your places to eat.

I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here with my friend Sarah S. on Satuday night! I was in Branson in 2019 with Eric R. and another couple, and I wanted to squeeze in a meal here but we couldn't make it work. Almost five years later, I enjoyed a weekend visit to Branson with my friend which included a meal at our hotel Friday night, so I remembered about this wonderful student-run restaurant at College of the Ozarks and was able to secure a reservation! We arrived on time and were introduced to the beautiful dessert display en route to our table, Our server Levi was personable and informative, and made our experience awesome. We each ordered hot tea, but since I was not keen on black tea late at night or herbal, I asked for hot water and used my own tea bag (with permission). We ordered the brussel sprouts nachos and Levi warned us it was a very large portion. He was not kidding! As that came out quickly, we got our tea pots (served atop a tea candle keeping it warm), and a bread service with rolls, biscuits, and three types of butter (plain, strawberry, and apple). Sarah S. ordered a salad, then we got our entrees. For me it was Mediterranean pasta with pappardelle and a ton of veggies (bell peppers, olives, artichokes, zucchini, fennel, and others) in marinara with parmesan. She got chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. We both got everything left in to go boxes so we could enjoy dessert. Honestly, all fo the desserts sounded ridiculously good, but we heard the ice cream made by the college dairy was epic, so we went for that. Sarah S. originally ordered the seasonal option, peppermint, but then asked to taste raspberry mascarpone (Levi's recommendation). He got her a half scoop to go on our way out with a spoon. I ordered the banana pudding ice cream (the chancellor's choice) on a waffle cone. The protion was generous for the price. Overall, we loved the whole experience: the copper ceilings, the pianist, the fireplace, the many tables getting happy birthday songs by servers, the service, the food, and the ambiance. I highly recommend a visit here! I heard the brunch buffet is awesome, but we were so full we skipped a big breakfast and stopped at Buc-ee's in Springfield on the drive back. The food made it back in my cooler safely so Eric R. and I got to enjoy it yesterday and today also!

The food is excellent with a nice variety of offerings. The space is extremely clean and well appointed. The service by students that are working to pay for school is wonderful and encouraging.

Our family of 10 ( 4 children-6,4,2,1) had reservations for Dec 22,2023. We were immediately seated when we arrived and our waiter, Kole, came right over. He did an amazing job that evening and we never wanted for anything. The food was absolutely delicious and I recommend it highly. Even my picky-eater granddaughter at all of her Mac and cheese. She also loved the live piano music playing softly in the background. She gave it two thumbs up. I highly encourage families to try this wonderful experience and learn more about the students and college. It's definitely a treasure!
Renee S.
Wow! We wish every restaurant was like this one. The room is warm, inviting and beautifully decorated. The service is so cheerful and nicely paced for a delightful dining experience. And, the food -oh my - the food is delicious. We sampled the Mignon Meatloaf, Harvest Salad with Peach Honey dressing and the Brownie Pecan Pie Cheesecake. If you are visiting Branson, dining at the College of the Ozarks is an experience you don't want to miss.
