It was a very sad moment when I learned that Saturday, March the
16th was to be the last day for a venue that had become very popular
with locals living in and around the Kissee Mills Missouri area.
Located at 20333 State Highway
160, the Junction Bar and Grill was a biker friendly watering hole that had
been in business for just under a year. I discovered this bar and eatery
shortly after it opened back in April of 2012. Their hamburger and fries were one of the best in the area. Popular also, was Taco
Tuesday where Taco’s at under a buck were favorites to eat by people like myself.
But, what made the 'Junction experience' visit so great was the
owner and proprietor, Mike Osterday. His easy smile, fast service and friendly
attitude made going there a true Ozarkian experience. Sadly, with its closing,
the area will now be short one good place to eat, drink and socialize.
