Our first “honeymoon” activity was the Dinner Train with the Branson Scenic Railway. It was an amazing train ride and wonderful dinner. We arrived about a half hour before it was supposed to start, got our tickets, found a souvenir t-shirt to commemorate the occasion and waited to be able to board our train. We were some of the first people on the train and as we walked past the cars to board we both started getting excited as we saw the pretty tables inside prepared for dinner.
We found our place marked with our name and sat down to a table starting with a Caesar Salad and some really delicious rolls. They also had Iced Tea and Water on the tables for us along with a bit of candle light and a carnation.
As we departed the station everyone started digging in to their salads and rolls. We rode out of the city of Branson and started seeing some beautiful scenery even before the main course was served.
Dinner was very delicious. We had our choice of Prime Rib, Chicken, Fish or a Vegetarian option. We both picked the prime rib which came with potatoes and a vegetable medley. Iced tea and water were both refilled often on the train ride as well. The prime rib was done very well and we both enjoyed it immensely. We saw people around us get some of all of the variety of options but the beef seemed to be the most popular choice in our car at least.
As we enjoyed our meal we had a wonderful time watching the scenery go by outside our window. Partway through our entree a gentleman was going through the different cars playing the accordion. He played two songs from the 1940’s – the era of the train cars we were on.
