Sometimes we feel like hitting the open road, driving with the windows down, and enjoying the beauty of the landscape as it rolls by. Those leisurely drives down quiet country roads can be just what we need to shed the stress of the day. But a relaxing drive usually promises so much more. After all, we never know what gems we’ll pass on our journey — like this unassuming diner in Springfield, Missouri.
If you're driving along Shelby Road just north of Springfield, you'll inevitably pass what looks like little more than an old-school gas station. You might be inclined, especially if you don't need gas, to keep on driving.
A gas station, convenience store, and old-fashioned diner, Kad-E Korner Store & Diner dishes up some of the tastiest food in Missouri with a heaping side of nostalgia.
But that's just the beginning of the deliciousness that awaits at this Missouri diner. You'll have quite a challenge, though, trying to decide what to order.
Take a peek at the scrumptious selection of sides, too. Curly fries, tater tots, corn nuggets, fried pickles, and onion rings are just a few of the many options.
