Can anybody tell me the name of this restaurant? (Branson: live, restaurants) - Springfield - Branson area - Missouri (MO) - City-Data Forum

In 2001 my Dad took me to a restaurant that was mostly seafood. I know it was around Branson but I think it may have been outside of Branson. It looked small from the outside and it was down a hill. There was very little parking on the street and you had to go around into this parking lot down the hill behind the restaurant. All the Waiters were dressed up and there were no prices on the menu. They had a ridiculously big ice cream sundae. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? If so please let me know. I would love to go back to this place but my Dad died and I never thought to ask him.

I am new to the area and unfortunately I do not eat out often. I will ask some people at work that have lived here their whole lives and find out for you.

Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of at the moment is Landry's. It's been a long time since I've been there and I don't know if that's the one you are looking for or not. Here is a list of a few other seafood places in and around the Branson area.

Whipper Snapper's
Candlestick Inn
White River Fish House
Shogun Steak & Seafood

I have no idea, but I will list some names here and jog some memory until the life-timers get here!

Was it...

Landry's?
Joe's Crab Shack (they dress up)
Whipper Snappers?
The Bearded Clam?

Just joggin' your memory...Maybe it was Joe's Crab Shack but they are down in Branson Landing - but it may have been before they moved there? I don't know. Never ate Seafood in Branson aside from Pepper Corn's...would it be them?

Hmmm...

Thanks so much everybody. The Candlestick inn sounds REALLY familiar, so I'm thinking that must be the place. I appreciate all the help.

Just out of pure curiosity I pulled up Candlestick Inn on google maps and in fact it is at the bottom of a hill and the parking lot is very very small.

Here's their address in case you want to look it up on google maps to see for yourself.

127 Taney Street

Candlestick isn't mainly seafood, tho...and I think they have new management in the last couple of years. It's wonderful...if a little pricey.

Well, the Candlestick has always had prices on their menu and I don't remember the old one having ice cream sundaes (but a killer chocolate cupcake). And like Lake Junkie said, it's not (nor was) mostly seafood.

I actually don't know of any really high priced restaurants that were around here in 2001 (didn't live here, but visited here often and ate out a lot). Wormans at Big Cedar is about the most expensive one with the "new" Candlestick (French-ish) being right behind it.

Do you remember if it was overlooking the water? or??

Thanks again everybody, I am sure they had no prices listed because I was so surprised about that as it was the only time I ate at a place like that. The other thing I remember is we had calamari to start and he had a lobster tail and so did my baby brother. I had crab legs. The bill was around 150-200 dollars for everything including the giant sundae.
