Welcome to Emmet's Kitchen & Tap located in Fayette, Missouri which sits right on the square in downtown Fayette. Driving by you would never think that inside those doors is, according to Love Food, the best mom-and-pop restaurant in the Show-Me State.

Emmet's Kitchen & Tap is beloved for its hearty American food with a Cajun twist. Here you'll find everything from po' boys and platters of Bayou shrimp to tasty pasta dishes, pork and steaks, all served up by some of the friendliest and most attentive staff around.

Fayette is a small town about 2 hours from the Tri-States and close to Columbia, Missouri. The restaurant's motto, good simple cooking served in warm inviting surroundings, can't go wrong with that. They have a little bit of everything from salads to pasta, Cajun dishes, and more. Again, you just never know where you will find your next favorite place to visit when you take a road trip. Sometimes those are the best places to discover.
