The Keeter Center-Dining, Point Lookout MO

The food was just ok. I know so many people love it but it wasn't for us. The students serving are friendly and professional.

Love this farm to table food! Make your reservations well ahead on their website as they can fill up way in advance. The coleslaw is amazing and I loved the fresh made potato chips. The Smoked BBQ Pork Burger was outstanding. The servers are all students and over the top engaging and professional. Food delivery was timely. The half portion of Ozark Caesar Salad was excellent, quite large and a delightful addition to the entree. The House Harvest Salad with honey pear (house dressing and most popular), was quite tasty. Ohhhh, and do not miss those maple glazed cinnamon rolls ~ so fresh and mouthwateringly delicious. They are often gone by noon so come by in the morning to pick some up or better yet call ahead and have them put back for you (but pick up by noon). Lovely and delicious experience!

We had a very nice waitress, and she was spot on with service! Made it there by 10: 30 Friday first in. The food was amazing and very creative. We enjoyed our adventure!

This is a beautiful place, inside and out. I love that the students can graduate debt free by working through school, all the while getting real world experience. The service is excellent and there are a lot of his options on the menu. They make the ice cream with milk from cows that they milked on site!
I was slightly disappointed by the food. I asked for a medium steal and it was medium well. A place like this should always get that right. There wasn't too much flavor either. But most others at the table enjoyed their meals.

We loved our lunch experience at the Keeter Center. The food was really good. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. The only issue we had was that my dad's steak was given to someone else by mistake, resulting in a delay. They apologized and were accountable for the mistake immediately. They did so well, we didn't mind the wait for the steak. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Great experience. A must try if in the area. The students are servers, chefs, etc. They do everything they to help with their tuition. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The salmon meal with risotto and asparagus were very tasty. Kind of a small portion for what you pay, but well worth it. The bbq mac and cheese was super cheesy and ooey gooey. Thee bbq good but did not care for bbq sauce. The osso bucco was out of this world. Super fall off the bone tender. Enough for two people to share. The mashed potatoes and carrots were well seasoned. They have a great variety with meals and all types of sandwiches if that is what you are in the mood for. The bread basket is a must. The cranberry biscuit was hot and fresh. Also like a scone in texture. The apple butter is to die for. So good slathered all over it.

WOW. We walked in 10 minutes after they opened and waited 45 minutes for a table. But it was so worth it.

I ordered the bbq Mac and it was the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had. My wife said the pork chop was the best she has had. And it was one of the best meals out at a restaurant we’ve ever had.

If you are in Branson, don’t miss out! They take reservations for dinner but lunch is just walk in.

My husband and I loved our meal! The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing! It took awhile to get anything but they were wonderful. Steak and veggies were amazing, the twice baked potato was so creamy I swear they push mashed potatoes in the skin lol and the salad was the best I've ever had, my goodness the taste of there candied bacon!

The best food I’ve had in ages! If Chick fil a high school workers went to college, this is the product. Such a wonderful atmosphere, amazing students, and delicious food. Beautiful campus, good signage, and close parking to dinner.

I had the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and cheesy noodles. So yummy. Dessert was cran apple cobbler and ice cream.

The staff was very nice. Enjoyed the charcuterie board and ice cream, but our entrees were under seasoned and not as well prepared as expected considering the fresh ingredients.

What a find! This is on the campus of College of the Ozarks where all the students work. Wonderful atmosphere, food and service. I will return next time in Branson.
Regret that I didn't have enough time to visit the campus.

Had a great lunch there. Service waa top notch, food was delicious and the atmosphere and decor was great. Perfect!

Dining at the Keeter Center, located on University of the Ozarks campus, is a must. The food is absolutely knockout. Service is killer & the prices are quite reasonable. We have dined at the Keeter Center on numerous occasions, and were pleased each time. Do yourself a favor & check it out. Take the family, you will be glad. Guaranteed!

First visit after many recommendations. The atmosphere was nice, the service was also very nice by a novice who was ramping up and eager to please. The food was AWESOME and that is ultimately what dining is about, right? It was our anniversary so they provided a modest but very tasty dessert (all we needed after a big meal). We will absolutely return over and over.

We have been a regular customer for many years.
I asked our server if they had scallops in their seafood pasta that day. First I was told no and then he changed his answer and said, yes, they just got scallops in. When my entree arrived, he put my entree in front of me and walked off. As I started eating I noticed there were no scallops and a total of (4) shrimp. When our server came by to aske how our meal was I mentioned that not only were there no scallops but only (4) shrimp for a quite pricey entree. He told me that "he would make note of it. " No offer to have something different or adjust the price. My wife wasn't satisfied with her dinner either.
I have referred friends and clients there for years. Very disappointed.

We did not have a reservation and were told that the wait for 2 adults and 3 kids will be an hour and half. The restaurant was 80% empty but we were told that there are reservations that are coming. We decided to grab a few things from the bakery which were great. We hung out in the lobby for about 30 to 45 minutes and the restaurant did not fill up. Seems a bit odd so I can't help but assume that the hostess said an hour and a half to discourage us from dining with small kids.

Best dining experience around. The food was delicious. We will eat here again when visiting the Branson area.

This place is a must try! We randomly stumbled upon the Keeter Center after a long day at the Top of the Rock and museum. It’s a fancy and fun dining experience and a bang for your buck.
Everything here from the food prep to the service is by students at the college of the Ozarks.
The food was amazing. We got the meatloaf mignon and the chicken fried chicken. We were also served a side of apple butter, strawberry and plain butter with delicious cranberry biscuits and dinner rolls, which I found very innovative.
I think we enjoyed the incredibly friendly yet professional service more than the food.
I love the concept of the whole place being run by students, giving them a chance to gain experience, earn, share their stories and plans for the future, network and build their social and professional skills in a real-world set up while still studying.
If you’re in Branson do stop by!
