There are great diners all over Missouri, but if you are truly looking for the perfect "hole in the wall" place then you need to head to the small town of Nevada, Missouri...
Man, I love a good ole fashion diner and Missouri is filled with these classic-style places. One particular diner was just named the absolute best in the U.S.
Diners are amazing, where else can you go where the server knows your name, are open late, open early, have breakfast, ice cream, burgers, and you can get it all for cheap! One website says they found the best diner in the Land of Lincoln and their menu backs up their claim.
