Check in if your going to the LSU/Mizzou game

It's always a race to Cracker Barrel or Red Lobster.

I’d rather go watch a high school game than go there

The Holiday Inn is supposed to have a decent happy hour. Perfect for you Stevie.

Cheap eats:

1. Booches. Greasy little burgers. Heart of downtown. Been there since 1884. It will be packed on game day.

2. Shakespeares. Popular local pizza place. Located right where campus and downtown meet.

3. Broadway Diner. Greasy breakfast for your hangover. Get a Stretch. Located downtown.

Finer dining:

1. CC’s City Broiler: best restaurant in the city, surf and turf. West side of town.

2. Murry’s: great spot just south of the stadium by about a mile. Good live music.

3. Sycamore: small downtown restaurant, haven’t had a bad meal there.

Bars:

1. Logboat Brewing: they brew some great beer, relatively new to Columbia

2. Flatbranch Brew Pub: relaxing spot downtown. Food and beer are decent.

3. Barred Owl: good location downtown and good food.

4. The Heidelberg rooftop deck. Great location on the edge of campus.

College bars: Harpos, Shiloh, Field House. All downtown, should all be crowded. Drinks are cheap.

Other activities:

1. Rock Bridge State Park: beautiful spot just south of town. Take the short trail down to Devils Ice Box.

2. Bluff top winery in Rocheport: 10 miles west of Columbia. shite wine but a great view on the Missouri River.

3. Blue Note downtown. Great local music venue. Frequently do outdoor concerts in the summer and fall.

Our first time ever to Columbia, Mizzou

---

Is this LSU's first trip to Columbia? Or just yours? If this is LSU's first trip to Missouri since they joined the conference then the schedulers have royally fricked up

Joke's on you. Mizzou is totally made up. There isn't even a state named "Missouri."

p.s. I think it is in October, so you could get a warm day, or a cold one. Pack a jacket.

Not a Mizzou fan, but lived in Como for 6 years. The majority of restaurants in Columbia serve elevated bar food. Wings are a really big deal there. Agree with Booches and Broadway Diner; both are very small places with great food and minimal seating. During Covid, the owner of Broadway Diner cooked for school kids and anyone who needed a meal. I’m not sure if he had any staff to assist. He is a stellar human.

G&D’s Steak House-family style steak house between the stadium and I-70. Moderately priced, extremely quick service, We always got toasted ravioli and steak sandwiches. Best toasted ravioli in Columbia. Located behind Texas Roadhouse, next door to Best Buy.

Just Jeff’s - drive-thru only; nothing fancy, burgers, dogs etc. Chicago-ish, great Italian Beef. Just Jeffs

Glenn’s Cafe-located in the Tiger Hotel downtown. (aka The District). Everything we ever ordered there was good. They have white tablecloths on one side of the restaurant if you want to dress up and the other side is more casual. Decent brunch. Glenn’s Cafe

Oktoberfest in Hermann MO is huge; it’s about an hour west of Columbia
Oktoberfest

JJ’s-nothing overwhelming, but better breakfast than Cracker Barrel.
JJ’s Cafe


Wineries-several in central MO. This one is on the outskirts of Columbia. Les Bourgeois Vineyards

In Hermann Adam Puchta

Clydesdale Ranch-love this place
Warm Springs Ranch

If you’re able to, skip the I-55 route through St Louis and come up through the Ozarks. The leaves should be starting to change, and it’s a beautiful area of the country.

In!
