Hidden Pines Restaurant (Summit Restaurant) - Branson

A hidden gem perhaps? Came here for brunch and of all the places I’ve been to, this may be one of the most intriguing place I’ve been to this year. Before getting to the restaurant, which was tucked between two Branson main streets, the building was tricky to find. The parking was a decent size. There’s one lot across the street and one on the side. The entrance to this restaurant is from a side street with stairs and half walls. You walk through two sets of double doors and greeted by the host and tall ceilings. The host asked if my intentions was Hidden Pines Restaurant which prompted my question, what else is there? Apparently there’s 5 other business in the building. They were in transition between seasonal decors and maybe construction(?) They had boards and power tools around. Tucked behind but you can clearly see them. Huge restrooms and pretty clean. Food was surprisingly good. They have an open kitchen and they were really quiet. Very minimalistic on approach. The server mentioned that the menu was locally sourced and they cooked them to order and from scratch. The food came out in a reasonable time despite it being made to order. Overall, good experience and very relaxing.
