Highlights

Breakfast: Broadway Diner
American, Breakfast
Pricing: $
The Broadway Diner sits on the corner of Fourth and Cherry as a friendly, familiar and reliable stop for breakfast, lunch or a slice of pie. The diner is charming, welcoming and a time capsule into Columbia’s history — the perfect place to bring a visitor. Choose from long-loved dishes like The Stretch or Matt’s Dilemma. Broadway Diner uses quality ingredients from their own garden and local farms for crispy bacon, sausage and eggs, served any way you’d like.

Lunch: Harpo’s
Sports Bar
Pricing: $-$$
What better place to bring a visitor than the Missouri Bar? If you aren’t sitting in Memorial Stadium to root for the Tigers, this bar has captured the perfect gameday atmosphere. With a new expansion and renovated rooftop, Harpo’s is the quintessential gameday stop. Choose from chicken nachos with a kick, burgers fresh off the grill or appetizers for the table. Alumni, visitors and locals alike can admire the history and spirit that has adorned Harpo’s walls for decades.

Dinner: Barred Owl
Upscale, Farm-to-Table
Pricing: $$-$$$
For a meal that’s sure to impress any out-of- towner, bring them to Barred Owl. The rotating menu here highlights Missouri’s seasonal produce. Its staple butcher and cheese boards offer the best locally sourced meat and dairy. For cocktails, pick from craft cordials, small- batch spirits and bourbon, beer or wine, all from local breweries and vineyards.
