Missouri has a long tradition of wonderful restaurants, and this one is the oldest. The J. Huston Tavern, in Arrow Rock holds the distinction of the longest operating restaurant in the state. Its history is truly incredible, but the food and service you’ll experience when you visit now is also unparalleled.
It was built as a home for J. Huston's family.
Huston soon built additions to the home, in order to accommodate weary travelers. It quickly gained a reputation as a wonderful inn where people could get a hot meal and stay overnight.
