What's going on with Taco Habitat on Highway 76?

Image
What's going on with Taco Habitat?      At the moment Taco Habitat is not open. Construction has stopped, and the driveways are not complete. The land housed an old church that was functioning at the time of sale of the land. The lot was cleared and sold to Taco Habitat. This is a great Taco style idea, and seems to have some success in Springfield, Mo. But to me it looks like they either ran into a construction issue, or have run out of money. Here are the pictures, I took as I pass by the location.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Branson Postcards Click below to purchase a postcard from you visit https://www.ebay.com/itm/185520234422?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lqd27zhtQTe&sssrc=2380676&ssuid=lqd27zhtQTe&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

New Branson Restaurant updates and 1 that is open now

Image
 New Branson Restaurant  updates and 1 that is open now      The new Cheddars is coming along as you can see, and they are just about done. Looking at the new buiolding it is pretty amazing, and the location is amazing. Right next to the American theater. It's located at the Old Ben's wishing well motel spot, that was torn down, and the land was consolidated. It won't be long and this facility will be open.  New Panera Video in Branson 08/25/22 https://youtu.be/QNKq2T0vG-M   7Brew is now open and looks amazing. Their whole structure over there is different from most coffee shops. They have an out door menu that is clearly visible when you drive up, and an attendant comes to your car (like Chick Filet) and takes your order, And you drive around and pick up your order. Also located right there is Price Chopper, Walmart, Moe's Southwest, and Subway. Lots of extra add on's you can do with your morning coffee.  Panera on 76    It's come ...

Last night at Noodle 21 Spicy Hot Pho and sushi

Image
     Last night at Noodle 21-Spicey Hot Pho and Sushi, and the rangoons. Another great night at Noodle 21, we always have the jin or the shin pho which is so good.  Incredible new Restaurants coming to Branson 4100 Views https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022/06/incredible-new-restaurants-coming-to.html   The Jin Pho is not as spicy, and has egg,ramen, and plenty of frothy spice, to around. But not that spicy as the jin.  The Shin is pretty spicy and pushes you to take a pause at several points throughout. We had the Spicy tuna as well. This time around it was just ok. Didn't have the pop that it usually has. But it was still good.  For the Appetizer.........The crab Rangoon were just amazing.  Review on youtube #stats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lQd1SkscyQ 7 amazing drinks from coffee shops around Branson.  2 https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022/08/top-7-drinks-from-coffee-shops-around.html Things to do near Branson....

What the new Branson Meadows Cinema is like

Image
Got to go and enjoy Elvis at the newly renovated Branson Meadows last night.    The floors have been redone all through out. They've added new seats and repaired seats that weren't working. The lobby was clean and ready to accept new customers. What a great place to start watching movies again. They have 11 theaters of varying sizes, based on demand. Elvis has a pretty good crowd, considering it's been out a few weeks.         new floors they look awesome Outside looks great once again!

Full Branson Restaurant breakdown-From Coffee to Catfish

Image
  Full Branson Restaurant Breakdown-From Coffee To Catfish      There is no doubt about it I just love Restaurants. From Mexican to Chinese to just about anything. I see Food (SEAFOOD) and I eat it. Branson boasts a tremendous amount of restaurants. Including a huge amount of coffee shops. 7 Brew is listed in this article, and is the newest restaurant coming to Branson. https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022/07/updates-on-hottest-new-restaurants.html I've never been able to figure out why we need so many coffee shops. From starbucks, to Xpresso, to 7 Brew. Starbucks holds the record of 5 coffee shops in the area. But people like their coffee, whip creamie fix everyday, and from multiple locations. Heck they are on vacation no less.  But restaurants aren't the problem here, it's access to the restaurants. And the traffic here is terrible, to say the least. All the concrete doesn't help when it's so hot. How to beat the heat right here: https://branson...

Branson's Newest Restaurant sensation FUEL

Image
  FUEL Fresh looks Amazing.  Easy access by Foot, car or Ferris Wheel Located near the Branson Ferris Wheel (Originally pulled from Chicago's Navy Pier) this restaurant is a must try when you come to Branson. #bransonRestaurants  Things to try:  The Heavy Metal burger-Made with pure Angus, this sounds like a monster.  Capers Skewers sounds interesting, not your every day appetizer.  Sounds a lot like American fair with a nice, authentic twist.   Mac N Cheese with pulled pork, is a must to try.     Click the link below for their Website:   https://www.fivestarparks.com/fuel-restaurant?gclid=Cj0KCQjwidSWBhDdARIsAIoTVb1cjfumWrrsHeksASUIuFB3D2Xr9chSQn9jNaoCkV-l2eMwtA6klO4aAlrbEALw_wcB

Seven Local Restaurants you must eat at before leaving Branson

Image
  Seven Local Restaurants you must eat at before leaving Branson! The 7 Local Restaurants you must eat at before leaving Branson  1 Chopsticks -yes this is West of Branson . But needs honorable mention. Amazing tuna, crab rangoon, and Cashew Chicken. It's 15 minutes from Branson in Kimberling City. Where you could catch some views anyway.  2)Tequilas 2 - Located near the mansion theater this is a fantastic Mexican restaurant. Reasonable priced in the $30 to $40 range for a small family. I'd hit the cheese dip any day of the weke.  3) Local Flavor is high on flavo r . It is doing very well near the Clarion. I've seen nothing but good out of this restaurant.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022 on  /06/incredible-new-restaurants-coming-to.html   ------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Updates on the Hottest new Restaurants coming to Branson

Image
 Updates on the Hottest new Restaurants coming to Branson 1) 07/14/22-Went by Cheddars this morning and they are pouring the concrete in the front area, by the entrance. Shouldn't be long and this one will be the first one to open out of the three. All of these restaurants are on highway 76. Cheddars is the biggest family dining one.  2) 7 Brew was coming along nicely, and is almost set to open. It will have a lot of competition around it, but location and ease of access is key. And 7 brew will have it all. Located in the Price chopper moes parking lot. It will be a delight.  3. Pinera-the new location is kind of meandering a long. It has taken  a long time to get the land cleared and developed for everything they are putting there. I see this one opening in the fall for sure. As their other store is keeping the cash flow coming in while they develop this spot. Check out all of my other blogs when you get time in the busy schedule.   Here's the original sto...

The Pho is fantastic at this place as well.  Hong Kong Buffett -what I've always liked about this place, is they go out on a limb. They will put sushi out on the buffett, as well as other standard style buffett stuff. Overall it's a good buffett, but sushi not os much.    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazing new Restaurants coming to Branson, be the first to know! https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022/06/incredible-new-restaurants-coming-to.html   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  PAnda Express this is a quick very efficient restaurant located in Branson Hills area.

Branson Landing Fireworks Extravaganza in it's entirety

Image
It's always a good time when the fam and I get to head out to the Branson landing. So much to see and do and so much to eat. They had some very good bands on tap, as well as a full bar, inside the enclosed area. There must have been about 20,000 people there, and the parking was navigated beyond brilliance by the Branson PD.  Tomorrows Post  Last night at Famous Dave's   https://branson-localnews.blogspot.com/2022/07/last-night-at-famous-daves-highesy-76.html       Here is the full show in it's entirety, a whole 18 minutes of amazing splendor on the Branson landing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXtEzJX2ym0     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXtEzJX2ym0  

Pops Smoke Shack Part 2

Image
Ran over to Pop's smoke shack over the weekend, and had yet another amazing time. The beef really caught my attention, as it's smoked just right. They have a shack out front where they smoke everything, and even say high on your way in. The guy in front of me ordered two pounds of beef, and they got to that rather quickly. We did the meal for four and it fed all four of us. We got away for about $41 dollars and that included our smoked salmon dip. Beef mac n cheese roll potatoes  Chicken coleslaw roll Salmon dip this time the $5 portion it was amazing.
