Where Can I Find The Best Comfort Food In Missouri?

It doesn't get much more comforting than the hearty Italian feasts at Fratelli's - but these country-style restaurants give it a run for its money.

  • Branson Cafe, a tiny storefront in the state's most popular tourist town, is a hidden gem that gets overlooked by many visitors to the area. That makes it a great secret if you're looking to avoid the crowds and get hearty portions at an affordable price. Start off the day with pancakes, omelets, sausage, and massive cinnamon rolls. For lunch, the menu shifts to classic country-style meals, including some of the best fried chicken in the state. Don't leave without a slice of pie!
  • Gingham's Family Restaurant, located just down the road from Fratelli's, is another classic St. Charles institution known for serving huge portions of comfort food at all hours of the day - and we mean all hours! This is a rare 24-hour restaurant, and they serve some of the best biscuits and gravy in Missouri. Some of our other favorites include the meatloaf melt sandwich, the chicken-fried steak, and the chocolate chip pancakes. Save room for a visit to the dessert counter and marvel at the massive selection!
  • Lambert's Cafe might just be the most famous restaurant in Missouri, and it has two locations in Ozark and Sikeston. Located near Branson, the Ozark location is the flagship and this is as much an attraction as a restaurant. Known as the "Home of the Throwed Rolls," bread is distributed by being tossed to customers. That's just one of the "pass-arounds" - complimentary, unlimited sides that come with every meal. But don't fill up - you'll want to save room for old-school favorites like fried chicken livers, chicken-fried steak, or our personal favorite - a massive sampler platter of all the pork entrees.
