Missouri Diner Makes List of Most Charming in the Country

Whether it's the nostalgia or the food, there's a lot to love about classic roadside diners, and one in Missouri is getting some well-deserved attention from food experts.

Missouri Diner Named One of the Most Charming in U.S.

Tucked away in Columbia, Missouri, you’ll find the Broadway Diner, featured on Love Food’s list of the best classic and roadside diners. The atmosphere transports you back to the 1950s with its red booths and pink and sky-blue tabletops, but it’s the food that keeps people coming back for more.

American Diner Nostalgia

I love going to a classic diner; my family and I visit Becky Thatcher's Diner all the time. It really does take you back to the good ol' days. I just wish the prices were the same, too! But one thing’s for sure: when you walk into a diner, you know you're about to get a home-cooked meal that leaves you full and somehow still wanting more.
