I have nothing against Missouri's big cities. Have been to St. Louis and Kansas City a million times in my life and that's only a slight exaggeration. But, if you crave the best 'classic' diner in the state, you don't need to deal with the massive traffic jams in Missouri's metros based on a brand new ranking.
We're only one month into 2024, but already and alarming number of Missouri restaurants have decided they cannot remain in business and have closed their doors.
