Our Story

est. 2013
Karen knew at the age of 16 that being a restaurateur was her calling. After ten years working at a café and studying hospitality management on Hilton Head Island, Karen felt she was ready to own her own restaurant. A friend from St. Louis told her about a cute little place in Crestwood, MO. She visited and fell in love instantly. What happened next was akin to an old-fashioned barn raising where the community came out to support her lifelong passion: The Barn was born.
Grant's Trail
We’re neighbors with the historic 8.25 mile (13.28 km) trail that’s part of the Great Rivers Greenway. We always welcome runners and bikers who need a break and a great meal.
Just the cutest little place! We were in the area for a doctor’s appointment, and needed breakfast. A quick internet search led us here, a brand new place for us! Staff was super sweet, service was fast, and food was top notch! Try the strata!
