About Branson Cafe
Branson Cafe was established in 1910, so we’ve been around longer than Branson has been a town. That makes us Branson’s oldest restaurant!
The Branson Cafe has operated in its current location since the late 1920s. The historic Branson Cafe building has been owned by the Fausett family since 1943. Raymond Fausett purchased the building and his brothers Everette and Leon operated the restaurant until the 1950s. In 1953 Eddie and Georgeann Fausett began to operate the restaurant. In 1960 the Fausett’s handed over the operation of the restaurant to Glenn and Inez Henderson who ran it until 1975 when Mike and Marge Anderson took over. In 1985 Ken Roten began to run the operation and ran it until 2005.
Throughout the years, Branson Cafe has been featured on notable media outlets such as the 60 Minutes presentation of Branson, Fox News channel’s “Across America”, and our homemade pies have even made an appearance on the Today show. Our history intertwines with that of Branson itself, making us a staple in the local community and a must-visit destination for travelers.
New owners Brandi Beebe, Sandra Ferdig, and Mary Meadows said in a news release they are looking to carry on the tradition after reopening the restaurant in 2022.
