Sometimes we find the best food and the most amazing culinary experiences hiding in the most unexpected places. Like this long-time steakhouse that has been delighting diners for more than three decades. Next time you’re in town, make it a point to pull up a chair at this family-owned restaurant in Columbia, Missouri. Chances are pretty good it will be the first visit of many.
You'd be forgiven if you inadvertently drove by Jimmy's Family Steak House, a neighborhood staple since 1991. After all, its unassuming storefront gives few clues to the unforgettable experience that waits within.
First-time diners are often converted to regulars, giving the Columbia restaurant a real family vibe.
Exuding a cozy charm, the Columbia restaurant got its start back in 1991 when Jimmy, a Greek immigrant, and his wife, Tina, realized a dream by opening the steakhouse.
What tends to draw diners - at least the first time - to this beloved neighborhood restaurant is the steak. The menu features half a dozen steak choices, each as scrumptious as the next.
If you're not really in a steak kind of mood, you have plenty of other entrees from which to choose. Spaghetti, chicken fried steak, and gyros are all tasty alternatives.
