Other Restaurants in Missouri

The Show-Me State has plenty more to show when it comes to flavorful eats featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Beyond the barbecue trail, Guy Fieri has uncovered five additional Missouri gems between 2008 and 2019, split between the state’s two culinary capitals: St. Louis and Kansas City. While three of these beloved spots have since closed their doors, the memories—and the recipes—live on in Triple D history.

Among the standouts, Sweetie Pie’s in St. Louis earned a perfect 5-star rating, serving up soul food that had Guy reaching for seconds. Over in Kansas City, Krokstrom and YJ’s Snack Bar both impressed with 4.7-star ratings, proving that Missouri’s food scene extends far beyond its famous ribs and burnt ends. With an average rating of 4.8 stars across all five restaurants, it’s clear that Guy knows how to find the real deal in the heartland. Whether you’re cruising through St. Louis or Kansas City, these diners, drive-ins, and dives represent the authentic, unpretentious cooking that makes Missouri a true destination for food lovers.
