The business began in 1990 as a small 360-square-foot ice cream shop. Dave and Patty Burns purchased Cabana in 1993 and expanded operations by building a new 1,200-square-foot facility just south of the original site, which opened in 1999. Their son, Scott, opened Cabana Grill at 2131 St. Joe Ave. in 2001 in a building that previously housed Henry's, Ford's, and Maid-Rite; that location received a facelift in 2012. Scott purchased the S. Belt Cabana from his parents in 2006, and his sons subsequently joined the business as the third generation of Burnses to work at the restaurants. Cabana Grill, reachable at 816-279-9643, operates separately but shares the family legacy.

The S. Belt location maintains a positive reputation among customers who have reviewed the establishment.

Cabana remains a St. Joseph favorite, combining decades of family history with a diverse menu of ice cream and fast food options.

Cabana is situated on S Belt Hwy, just 73 meters from South Belt Highway and about 0.3 miles from Pear Street. It is located approximately 0.4 miles from Pickett Elementary School and less than a mile from Sergeant Robert Kimberling Memorial Highway.
