Missouri, United States Food Guide: 3 Barbecue food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Jefferson City
Find out what Barbecue restaurants to try in Jefferson City. The Missouri State Capitol dominates a bluff overlooking the Missouri River and the bronze statue atop its 238 foot-high dome is the first thing that comes into view for visitors of Jefferson City. The same bluff was one of the first sites passed by Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition, and the city is close to both the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and KATY Trail State Park. The city is also home to the imposing Missouri State Penitentiary, the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.”

My husband and I were given the heads up on this hidden treasure by a local patron. Donât blink or you might miss the unpretentious culinary dive. Donât let the 6 table dining room fool you on quality of cuisine; you are in for an amazing surprise. The burgers, bbq entrees, nachos, and Texas sized spuds are beyond delicious. My loaded BBQ potato encompassed the area of the basket; drenched in melted butter, perfectly smoked-moist bbq, cheese, sour cream onions, and salsa. The nachos order brimmed the basket as well, and my husbandâs burger was perfect grilled diner perfection. You MUST try this High Street gem while in Jeff. Oh my!! Thank You sooooo much for the kind words and wonderful review:)Please come back soon!!
