"The atmosphere was really nice. We loved the biscuits and the rolls. The strawberry butter was exceptional. We had the porky pig sandwich. It was good but it could have used a little more meat. The sweet potato fries were good. They did not have honey mustard for their salads, which could have been useful. The service was very good and overall a good experience."

"There isn't enough room to write up what a great experience it is to eat here. The food divine, the young wait staff so kind, and served in high style. Highly recommend the salads, but this is such an interesting place. The students get free degrees for working in the various businesses here. They raise cattle, grow crops, and make the ice cream... Christian based, strong community values, well funded. Classy Gift shop with products the students make, ice creams, jams/jellies... then the historical aspects. Highly recommend for your visit...will be very memorable with interesting things to do after your meal. Unique, delicious, off the beaten Branson path, GORGEOUS lodge surroundings... Strongly recommended for groups looking for something special and memorable."

"Cool Grapes Caf Review 1 Feb 19. Great omelette. 1 Feb 19. Chick-fil-A night is always awesome! 2 Feb 19. When nothing looks good, there is always a patty melt with fries! 4 Feb 19. What kind of martial arts do pigs do? Pork chop! 4 Feb 19. Why did the pepperoni want to be a salami? Because it was tired of people treating it like a pizza meat. [There is salami at the deli (it was good) ] 5 Fab 19. Fun fact! If you tell the deli you want your sandwich extra toasted they toast it for 45 seconds instead of 30! 6 Feb 19. Basically taquitos. 7 Fab 19. BLT more like Be Like Tasty! 12 Feb 19. If there is one meal to make it to it is tonight. Alfredo, bread sticks, tacos, and chocolate bar! 10/10 20 Feb 19. Seafood sandwich at international was pretty good just hoping I don't get EEL.. 25 Feb 19. What did the buffalo say to his son when he left for college? I'm not your father. Buffalo Chicken Salad was fire. 2 Mar 19. Asked Nolan about the apple pie and he said "... Its par for the course..." 21 Mar 19. "The best part about eating the burgers is you don't need to worry about contracting dysentery." -Ethan 1 April 19. Special guest today at the caf!! Nicolas Cage!!"

"I went here with my family in June, 2022 and it was just amazing. The food from the cafeteria portion was delicious and the service was kind, energetic and quick. over all, the Cafeteria was nothing short of perfection. The ice cream was the best ice cream that I have ever had and other ice creams cannot even contend. I am so incredibly proud of my brother who is now attending CofO and the Keeter Center is a must if you are in Branson."

"This was such a lovely experience. Our waiter was so attentive and kind. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, yet elegant. The food was divine. I tasted the salmon croquettes with a fresh garden salad as i was saving room for dessert. My mouth dropped open when a huge piece of carrot cake came floating by and Ianded in front of me....After that, i lost track of everything else."
