You can find breakfast in Branson at many great restaurants and with fear of overlooking some of the best we provide you a list of our favorites. Following these favorites is a list of locations for magnificent Sunday brunches. And then a list of more restaurants that feature breakfast fare. One of these may end up as your favorite.
BILLY GAIL'S
5291 Hwy 265
Silver Dollar City/Indian Point/Hwy 65-Turquoise on our area map
Head west, up the mountain, past Shepherd of the Hills Homestead and follow the traffic. If they go straight past Hwy 265, they're going to Silver Dollar City. If they turn left at 265, they're heading to Billy Gail's. It's that popular and that good.
Known in the area for big pancakes and one of the best country breakfasts in the area this small log cabin style restaurant is nestled among the trees along Hwy 265 with great atmosphere and scenery. You'll remember this place!

BELGIAN WAFFLE & PANCAKE HOUSE
3120 W. Hwy 76

You're on vacation! Waffles, pancakes, loads of butter and syrup is the right thing to do. Load up. You can take a nap later.

CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE
3765 W. Hwy 76

This is a good fit for a Branson breakfast. They make it fun if you have to wait a bit for your table with a comfortable store loaded with a huge variety of items from clothing to cookbooks, toys and cookware. The atmosphere of this great little store changes with the season.
Once inside, at your table and not far from the huge fireplace you'll find one of the best country breakfast menus to be found anywhere. This is good food folks and the atmosphere pulls you into a warm, cozy feeling as you dig into a big country breakfast. And if you are into that lite, fruity, nutty health food fare, we think we saw that on the menu as well.
