While we’ve all heard that old cliche breakfast is the most important meal of the day, no one ever said that we have to eat it in the morning, right? Fortunately, we’ve got a pretty impressive list of restaurants from which to choose when we’re struck with a breakfast craving at, say, lunchtime. Whether you’re hungry for breakfast in the morning or at midday, you can’t go wrong at this popular neighborhood restaurant that dishes up some of the best biscuits and gravy in Columbia, Missouri.
Locals have been flocking to Ernie's Cafe and Steak House, the oldest classic diner in town, since 1934, and there are plenty of delicious reasons why.
But this Columbia favorite is as much about the upbeat, old-school vibe as it is about the food. Diners, in fact, rave about the entire experience at Ernie's.
For the full old-school experience, hop onto one of the stools at the counter. If you prefer outdoor dining, request a seat on the patio during the warmer months.
Once you're settled, you've got the difficult yet equally delicious dilemma of deciding what to order. If you're a fan of biscuits and gravy, dig into a half or a full order.
Even if you're settled on the biscuits and gravy, browse the rest of the menu for the perfect pairing or to get an idea of what you'll order during your next visit.
Ernie's also features daily lunch specials, including hamburger steak and KC strip steak. Each daily special comes with a potato, the day's vegetable, and Texas toast.
