Neatly tucked between Broadway, Providence and Mizzou’s campus sits a small diner that draws big crowds. The ‘50s-styled Broadway Diner’s size is no indication of the size of its appeal to Mizzou students, athletes and alumni.
Dave Johnson owns the diner with his parents, and he said it represents a place of comfort for the Mizzou family.
"We feed quite a few athletes and alumni here, so there’s always somebody talking about some kind of sports," Johnson says.
Johnson’s family has owned the diner since 1989. The restaurant serves breakfast classics as well as some unique creations.
