Cakes-N-Creams Classic 50s Diner & Drive-In

Going to Branson, MO?

You definitely don’t want to miss Cakes-N-Creams 50s Diner! It quickly became one of our favorite spots for a bite to eat in Branson. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the whole place oozed classic 50s charm.

There was a full-size jukebox in the corner, plus those little tabletop ones that brought back all the dating-years memories—we dropped way too many quarters in! The Three Stooges were playing on the TV while we were there, adding even more fun to the throwback vibe. In the back, there’s a game room packed with arcade classics and even one of those old photo booths—yes, the kind where you can snap a strip of silly pictures with friends or family.

We actually went more than once during our trip—it’s that good! Here’s a quick video clip from our visits if you want a little peek inside.

Ice cream of all flavors! I had Rocky Road, and my husband came up with his own wild combo of coconut, peanut butter, and chocolate. Beware—two scoops is a lot of ice cream at this place. But it was so yummy!

Signature Sweet

Cakes-N-Creams 50s Diner has been locally owned and loved for over 40 years—and it shows! Their claim to fame? The signature funnel cake topped with ice cream. It’s a must-try dessert that everyone raves about. We didn’t get a chance to try it this time around, but you can bet it’s at the top of our list for next visit!

Location

Cakes-N-Creams is super easy to find—it’s right on the main strip through Branson. But if you’re not sure where to look, just keep an eye out for the big pink octopus! The diner is located directly across the street from the Branson Aquarium, which is also on our list for the next trip.

And by the way, if you happen to visit after dark, you’re in for a treat—there’s a drive-in theater right behind the diner! You can park your car or grab a seat outside, and carhops will bring your food right to you.

Don’t you just miss drive-ins? Even with the summer heat, the mosquitos, the scratchy speakers, and those fogged-up windows—it was all part of the magic.

This drive-in is a perfect way to enjoy classic films and vintage cartoons with the whole family. Eat great food, make new memories, and take a little trip down memory lane. Just maybe… keep a few of your own old drive-in stories to yourself. Some things are better left to the imagination!

More to Come

Branson is full of great places to eat, and we’re just getting started! Be sure to subscribe and follow along—there’s more good eating ahead.
