The Oldest Restaurant In Missouri Has A Truly Incredible History
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.
You can enjoy a meal there today! It's located at 304 Main Street in Arrow Rock.
The Missouri State Parks system operates it.
Huston continues to keep an eye on things...so to speak.
It was voted the Best Fried Chicken In The State by Rural Missouri magazine in 2011.
It's perfect for large family gatherings.
