The Missouri State Capitol dominates a bluff overlooking the Missouri River and the bronze statue atop its 238 foot-high dome is the first thing that comes into view for visitors of Jefferson City. The same bluff was one of the first sites passed by Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition, and the city is close to both the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and KATY Trail State Park. The city is also home to the imposing Missouri State Penitentiary, the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.”

1. Mel's Country Cafe

Located on the outskirts of Jefferson City in a semi-industrial area, Mel's is the place especially for breakfast.. The parking lot is crowded with people waiting for a table. The menu is pretty standard, but the quality of each meal is outstanding with very generous portions. Country ham and eggs is a big favorite. The waffle and berries is remarkable. If the food is not enough, the service is excellent and you will not find a friendlier staff. I live 35 miles away and a Sunday morning drive to Mel's is a highlight of the week.

This place is small and off the beaten path but definitely the place to go for breakfast or lunch every day except Tuesday when it is closed. We had breakfast with friends and the service and food were wonderful - good old home-style atmosphere and food. Love it!

Our first visit to this restaurant during a month stay in Jeff City. We were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant has nice decor and very clean. There were a number of entre choices from pasta, seafood to steaks. We both ordered Penne Toscano which was very good. I added the chicken and it was grilled to perfection, very moist. Our waiter was great. Prices were only slightly higher than chains but experience was much better

4. High Rise Bakery
Reviewed By Rick B
Yes, they have great coffee, but they also feature bakery items and other options for breakfast. I enjoyed the Croque Madame which featured cheeses, thinly sliced meat, with a hollandaise sauce and topped with an over-easy egg. Eat in either the quaint, vintage brick-walled restaurant or eat outdoors.
