When the weather gets colder, there’s nothing like warming up with some tasty comfort food. Here are some of my favorite places to get the most delicious homestyle classics in Missouri.
1. Sweetie Pie's - St. Louis
Soul food? Check.
Mississippi-style cooking? Check.
Out of this world mac 'n cheese? Double check.
Address:
4270 Manchester Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63110
2. Cookin' From Scratch - Newburg
Located adjacent to a gas station, Cookin' From Scratch may not look like much, but it serves up some of the best fried chicken in Missouri.
Address:
90 Truman St.
Newburg, MO 65550
3. Dixon's Famous Chili - Independence
This dive has been around for almost 100 years. The original owner wouldn't even allow ketchup in his restaurant, because he was confident his chili was just that good.
Address:
9105 E US Hwy 40
Independence, MO 64055
4. The Blue Owl Restaurant & Bakery- Kimmswick
I bet your apple pie at Thanksgiving is pretty good, but can it stack up (literally) to the Levee High Apple Pie at Blue Owl? This delectable pie is comprised of 18 apples and weighs 13 lbs of ooey-gooey deliciousness!
Address: 6116 2nd St. Kimmswick, MO 63053
5. The Brick - Kansas City
The Brick was featured on the Food Network TV show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." Visitors rave about their amazing meatloaf sandwich.

Come to Gailey's for some buttery biscuits slathered with savory gravy.

Because every once in a while, cookies are the answer to a bad day. This dessert shop perfects classic chocolate chip cookies, while putting their own twist on other amazing desserts.

Address:

9. Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In - Crystal City
When on the road, a simple triple-stacked burger and french fries always seems to hit the spot.

10. Dressel's Public House - St. Louis
Grilled cheese is pretty simple to make, but Dressel's goes above and beyond to ensure the perfect cheesy melt. Paired with tomato soup, it's a perfect meal to warm you up on a cold day.

St. Louis, MO 63108
11. Lambert's Cafe - Sikeston
If you haven't heard of Lambert's, hear about them now. They're known for their "throwed rolls" and after you bite into one, you'll know why.

Sikeston, MO 63801
I really need to stop writing these lists out when I’m hungry. Because I could really go for each and every one of these staple dishes right now. What’s your favorite place to grab some comfort food in Missouri?
