What are some of the best restaurants in Missouri?

  • Gingerich Dutch Pantry (Jamesport): If you like the Dutch Country General Store, this delicious eatery belongs on your bucket list. For 20 years the staff at this specialty restaurant and bakery has been serving scrumptious food. It is a Mennonite-owned family restaurant that serves a variety of cuisines, including authentic Amish dishes. The all-you-can-eat buffet is available daily with fried chicken and other entrees, sides, and a generous salad bar. Or you can order off of the menu. Also, enjoy the breakfast buffet on Saturdays. And Mexican entrees are served on Monday evenings with a choice of pork, beef, or chicken.
  • Courthouse Exchange (Independence): We can only imagine how this place looked and operated in 1899. That's how long this fine establishment has been serving burgers. The casual atmosphere invites folks for a place to converse while enjoying some snacks, such as the crunchy fried pickles, or full-on meals, including the highly recommended fish and chips with hand-breaded cod, deep fried and served with fries and cole slaw. In the warmer months, sit out on the patio and have an Orange Creamsicle with vodka or your favorite beer.
  • Crown Candy Kitchen (St. Louis): Whether or not you decide to order anything here, a visit is worthwhile to one of the oldest and most popular attractions in St. Louis. Complete with a vintage jukebox and other memorabilia, this cooly decorated space that opened in 1913 is a journey back through time. The talented staff makes homemade candy which flies off the shelves during the holidays. In addition to the sweets and the soda fountain, Crown Candy Kitchen serves delicious lunches and dinners, including chili, a giant gourmet hot dog, or a thick-stacked sandwich. Slide into a booth and enjoy the ride if only for a little while.
