Sammy Lanes Sweets N Treats — Restaurant in Branson

It’s okay. My family came up to Branson, MO for a family reunion and happed to come i on this sweet shop our kids begged us to go to.

The establishment had a very retro feel and cool props everywhere that gave it a 30s-40s candy shop look. There was wooden barrels everywhere full of classics candy and they even had one of those old Cola Cola refrigerated lockers near the front of the store.

The ice cream and coffee were just “okay” at best. I had a double shot of espresso and I could tell that they didn’t use the Hughesy quality coffee beans to make it. Again, the coffee was okay but not great.

The kids loved their ice cream, and most kids do, but when I tasted it, it just tasted like any other ice cream you could get from the store. There was nothing special about it. I guess I was going to get ice cream that stood out a little more.

There was only one person serving a line of people so it took a while to get our order in. This whole area attracts the older demographic so it can take them a while before they decide on what flavor ice cream they want, and with only one person serving the stores, you’re in for a wait if there’s a line.

This an okay place, I was hoping for a more authentic and higher grade snacks and...

Delicious and delightful!

TL:DR Delicious little stop for some sweet stuff! Try the peanut butter turbo - will not disappoint!

Details: We were here on a Monday afternoon, and we were the only ones in the shop at the time. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful.

There were a lot of very delicious options, and although I wanted to try more, I managed to restrain myself. We tried the red velvet cheesecake (which I loved) and something called peanut butter turbo. It was INCREDIBLE! Like a reeses, but better!

I saw reviews about delays in service, and I can imagine that if it was really busy, but the staff was very quick and courteous on our visit. Great amount for the price also!...

They were out of 80% all their ice cream. Hard to run an ice cream store if you don't have the product.

We showed up at 7:20pm. Even though everything online says they closed at 8pm, we were told to get out by 7:30. (No signs on the door or in the store had their actual hours on it) High school kids running the place said 'Jesus Christ' under their breath when the 2nd half of our party showed up 5 minutes later. We were forced to eat outside on the steps. A different group showed up at 7:40pm and by then the 'workers' had already left. Hard to run an ice cream place is you aren't open.

The ice cream itself was OK, but well over priced. Hard to run an ice cream place if any national chain...
