Magnolia Bistro & Italian Ice — Restaurant in Branson

There is not ONE restaurant in Branson I prefer over Magnolia! In fact, there’s not one restaurant PERIOD that I prefer over this sweet little family-owned gem on the Landing. The moment I passed by the first time I saw “Italian Ice” pictures on the window, I knew I’d found my people!! Being from NJ originally, I missed having Italian Ice on hot summer days, but the Italian Ice is just the icing on the cake to this place. Their food is TOP quality, everything is made fresh in-house, they can accommodate pretty much any dietary restriction, and there’s not one thing I’ve ever gotten there where I wasn’t FLOORED. I’ve brought many friends and family members here and there is a very clear consensus: this place is AMAZING. It’s so nice to have a quick bite to eat on the Landing. The fantastic food (hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, oh my!) coupled with the PRECIOUS staff makes this place a must-visit (and after having one bite, the visits will never stop! 😂) When you walk in, you are always greeted by a friendly smile, always asked if you want a sample, and everything always “exceeds the ordinary” since everything is done with excellence. When you’re eating, they always check to make sure everything tastes great (spoiler alert: it ALWAYS does.) What is really sweet is they also form strong relationships with the people who come in and it really shows the heart behind this place. Come for the Italian Ice, stay for the delicious food and the friendly faces (and the toys they have for families who are waiting for their food! They think of EVERYTHING!) The owners Christine, Raylene, and Aubrey do an amazing job and are so kind. They live up to their high standards for quality and excellence and Magnolia is my favorite, favorite, favorite business...

Magnolia Briscoe and Italian Ice is hands down the cutest little shop I have ever been to! This family-owned gem in Branson, Missouri, is packed with charm and warmth from the moment you walk through the door. Not only is the atmosphere cozy and welcoming, they have a game bar with a bunch of different cute board games. they have created such a versatile space for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a quiet nook to study for college, catch up on some work, or just sit back and relax with friends, this is the perfect spot.

Now, let's talk about the food – absolutely fantastic! I can confidently say their sandwiches are some of the best I’ve ever had. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they put so much love and care into their menu. But I have to give a special shout-out to their mac & cheese bites. They were super yummy, crispy on the outside and cheesy goodness on the inside. If you're in Branson, you must give them a try. also the Italian ice was so yummy and almost takes like a sherbet. It was perfect for a hot day then she made us this other ice cream. I can’t even explain the taste how good the taste of it

Christine, the owner who helped us during our visit, provided top-notch customer service. She was so friendly and guided us through the menu, even recommending some of the local favorites. Her attentiveness made our experience even more enjoyable. Magnolia Briscoe truly does not disappoint! If you’re looking for a place in the Branson area that feels like home with incredible food and delightful service, look no further. We’ll...

Yesterday was my first day of visiting Branson for the very first time. Me, my husband, and my teenage daughter stopped by to get an Italian Ice. The man helping us had my daughters order ready quickly but mine took a bit longer. When I was handed my Italian ice, the man who handed it to me said “You aren’t by chance pregnant are you?” I said “No, why are you asking me that?” He then gestured with his hands, to show a big belly. I am not obese and I am most definitely not pregnant. I have a small little pooch but absolutely not big enough to assume pregnancy. It was extremely insulting, humiliating and shocking. I sat down at the table my family was sitting at and told them what I had just been told and they were both shocked and angry on my behalf. I then asked the “man” who so and blatantly insulted my appearance, if it “Is that tiny” then left your shop. My family and I came here after attending the death of a close family member for a few days of reprieve from grief, two days of relaxation and fun; and that man ruined the entire rest of my day with his casual cruelty. I wonder, what is your shop’s policy on employees commenting on customer’s bodies? I am attaching a photo of myself that was taken very recently and I think it will be pretty obvious I’m not pregnant and that no one would be likely to...
