re: Missouri Tailgating

Goose, Stadium Grill opened when I lived there and it’s what you’d expect from a restaurant in a Hampton. Only tried it once, not worth a second trip.

D Rowe’s is a local spot that’s decent. It’s owned by a former Mizzou player, but honestly, good for COMO, but probably not on par with options in South Louisiana. D Rowe’s, Murry’s and Flat Branch were my favorite casual spots.

A few nicer spots are Sycamore, Chris McD’s and CC’s Broiler. The locals think Shakespeare’s is the best pizza on the planet, but I wasn’t impressed. The crust was chewy and over-cooked to me, but it gets a lot of hype. It has 3 locations…one downtown, right off campus, one south and one on the west side.

Shakespeare’s was voted as the best college pizza on Portnoy’s Onebite app. Here’s his review… YouTube Portnoy Review

I enjoyed CJ’s downtown for wings. Kind of a dive, similar to like an Ivar’s in BR.
