We’ve all had that never-ending conversation with our friends or family when it comes to deciding where to eat. Getting everyone to agree on the same restaurant in Missouri can sometimes be quite the challenge. Next time that inevitable conversation arises, suggest this Missouri restaurant that has been dishing up homecooked meals for more than 60 years.
Change is inevitable, and DKI Homecookin' & Steakhouse in Sullivan has certainly seen its fair share of change since it first opened its doors in 1961.
Since changing ownership in 2017, the neighborhood favorite moved to a bigger location in 2022 and earned a new name. Even with such monumental changes, one thing has stayed the same: DKI Homecookin' & Steakhouse dishes up some of the best homecooked food in Missouri.
If it's been a while since you've been to Sullivan, you might remember this family restaurant by its original name - Du Kum Inn.

Earning rave reviews from diners for everything from its top-notch service to its outstanding food, this Missouri restaurant is one you'll find yourself visiting over and over again.
The menu's all about flavor and variety. Start with a piping hot bowl of down-home chili, a fresh salad, or maybe toasted ravioli, a Missouri original.
Sometimes, though, there's just no passing by a good, old-fashioned fried chicken dinner, complete with mashed potatoes, and corn or green beans. Is your mouth watering yet?
The menu's also chock full of scrumptious sandwiches. From burgers and patty melts to Philly cheesesteaks and adult grilled cheese, there's a sandwich for every taste.
Chances are you're absolutely stuffed - or close to it - by the time dessert rolls around. Still, the homemade bread pudding, homemade pie, and cookie skillet - are worth eating just a bit more.
