The 17 Essential Restaurants in Columbia, Home of the University of Missouri
"If you’re looking to visit Ernie’s for breakfast, you’d better go early; there’s a line out the door by midmorning. While the tight space makes it difficult to get a table on weekends, the experience is more than worth the wait. The inexpensive, classic American breakfast food serves college students well, while a fun, vintage interior makes it a favorite for young families and regulars. If the big menu feels daunting, try out the quintessential plate of hash, sausage, and eggs, or go for the hotcakes if you wake up with a sweet tooth." - Chloe Konrad
