Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. is building a permanent home in Columbia, Missouri.
This summer, the food truck famed for its buttery, Southern-style biscuit sandwiches will open
Ozark Mountain Biscuit and Bar, featuring both a substantial all-day menu and a sprawling patio, across from Logboat Brewing Co.
A brick-and-mortar concept has been in the works since the companyâs inception, but the COVID-19 pandemic â and a nonexistent festival season â pushed chef-owner Bryan Maness to make the move. âIt was in our original plan to eventually open a restaurant, but what kind of form that would take, we didnât really know seven years ago,â he says. âSo we started with a food truck â and things were going well â and then we got into the festival scene and kind of focused on that for the last few years. It really wasnât until last year, during the pandemic, that we decided to look forward, past 2020, and develop a concept for a full-service restaurant and bar.â
