About YJ'S SNACK BAR


One of the most memorable dives that you'll find in MO and easily the best combination of different cuisines and flavors as well, in our honest opinion at least. The chef here is well-known for his travels and recipes that he brings back home that have led him to create his own unique specialties such as the insanely delicious Meatloaf Sandwich and of course our latest favorite, Chorizo. A cozy spot that makes you feel like you can hangout for hours on end. Plus, the live Jazz really adds to the funky, relaxed vibe. These guys always keep it fresh and interesting while often having daily specials to choose from which rotate often. You can easily come alone or grab some friend to just hang out while enjoying good food and tasty drinks. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served here with excellent options from each genre. Again, probably best described as a true unconventional place, but the food variety, skill and passion put in to each unique original dish just makes this place a pure gem for locals and visitors. Most people we know try to make it each day of the week in their lifetime to experience all of the goodness available here. Come check them out, worth every second.
