The Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks - Lodging

Great fine dining. You need reservations for dinner but not for lunch.

As new locals, this was our first visit after hearing great things from friends and reviews. We came in with high hopes!

We started with the charcuterie board. Overall, it was good, the cheeses were nice, though not outstanding. There were a couple of grey pieces of meat we chose not to eat, but everything else on the board was delicious.

Next came the bread. I’m gluten-free, and I have to say the rolls were some of the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had! My husband loved his regular bread too. Big win there.

For my meal, I ordered the gluten-free Ketter Club. At first, they accidentally brought out the non-gluten-free version, but thankfully they caught it before setting it down. When my gluten-free sandwich arrived, I immediately noticed the bun looked hard and unfortunately, it was more like a rock. Honestly, no one could’ve bitten into it. I told our waitress, and she kindly offered to have a new one made, but since we had already been there for over two hours, I just ate the turkey and cheese without the bun. My side of fruit was a bit disappointing too, with about a quarter of it being mushy.

We did share the gluten-free carrot cake at the end, which was fantastic! My husband also really enjoyed his meal, so it wasn’t all bad. Service was friendly and attentive throughout, which we appreciated.

All in all, for the price, I expected a bit better consistency,especially with the gluten-free items. We’ll likely give it another try before bringing out-of-town guests, but I hope management takes reviews like this to heart. There’s so much potential here, and a few tweaks could really elevate the experience.

Worst experience ever. Almost comical. Poor communication. Terrible management. Abysmal customer service. Thankful to have not given a dime of my money but furious an hour of my day was wasted.

Had a wonderful dinner with my husband, the pork chop was delicious, we also ordered the green tomato, but I was not a fan of them. Our waitress Rainbow was pleasant, im sure we will go again.

We ate dinner. We have eaten here many times. The service is always excellent. The location is fine.

On this particular evening, I, for the first time, ordered the Kansas Strip steak. I asked for medium well, and it was cooked properly.

However, the quality of the steak was inferior, and should not have been served at this restaurant. Especially given the price, I should have had a much better quality steak. It was full of fat and gristle, and very difficult to cut. I was wasn’t even given a steak knife. I couldn’t even finish it.

I have come to expect better things from the Keeter center. I don’t know if they’re getting the steak from their own herds or not, but they need to serve better quality beef. I’m sorry to have needed to post this negative review. Overall, I’m very happy at the Keeter Center, and I love the kids.

Nonetheless, given the price, especially, I should have been served a much better quality steak.

Very nice.

We love stopping in here just to get some food items that are created by the students. The ice-cream is also great.

This is by far the best place to eat in the Branson area. I’ve been to this restaurant several times over the years and it never disappoints. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is top notch and the food is amazing. Highly recommend!

So many family vacation memories at the Restaurant. Every meal is absolutely amazing. Almost everything is “farm to table”. An all time favorite place to ear when we go to Branson. Dessert is a must!! (We have not stayed at the Lodge.)

Dinner was an absolute dream! If you ever find yourself in Branson, Missouri, I highly recommend a visit to Dobyns Dining at The Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks. It's an experience you won't want to miss, where college students prepare and serve some of the most mouthwatering meals you could ever imagine. The farm-to-table concept offers fresh, flavorful dishes that delight the palate with a symphony of tastes, and the student service is both warm and personable, making it a truly unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is lively, and the setting features beautifully crafted woodwork, reminiscent of a grand lodge. It’s the perfect spot for a date night! Be sure to ask for London from Indiana! She was wonderful!

From the moment we walked in the Restaurant we were impressed. The food was wonderful & our server Joy was an absolute sweetheart. One our group had a Birthday & and the group that sang to her were a choir…absolutely beautiful voices! The meals were all delicious, could not of been more impressed with the overall experience.

The servers seem to think they are better than the customer and know more lol
Very forgetful servers. Every time we go there , they leave something out . This is the 3rd time. Don't believe we will go back.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat !

Best place to eat in or near Branson Missouri. Great food, excellent service. Wonderful place.

$45 for a steak. Had to send back as ordered med rare &was served well done. Two at our table ordered the salmon based on the server’s rec. Tasted fishy and husband was not feeling well after eating. And… there was no butter as they ran out, so dry rolls and no butter for potatoes. Such a shame as we support the students but there needs to be more supervision. Service was very good.
