Newly-relocated Tiffany’s Diner seeing comfort food success in St. Joseph

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A local eatery originally based in Gower, Missouri, is finding success and looking ahead to 2026 after making the move to St. Joseph in December.

Tiffany's Diner, which is owned and managed by Tiffany Parker, offers a menu filled with homemade and comfort food items for breakfast and dinner such as tenderloins, Reubens, biscuits and gravy and breakfast burritos, among others.

The move to St. Joseph marks the next step in the restaurant's trajectory since starting out as a food truck years ago and growing to a storefront.

"I opened the restaurant in Gower where we stayed for the past couple of years," Parker said. "I decided I wanted to move up here to be closer to my husband who runs a repair shop and to have more opportunities in a bigger town."

The diner has seen business steadily increase as word-of-mouth spreads and more customers become aware of their location at 1329 S. Belt Highway, next to Dollar General. The restaurant officially re-opened on Dec. 2.

"We've being way busier here than before. The beginning was kind of hard because people don't initially understand what you're doing," Parker said. "And the wait was a little longer than I was used to. But it's getting faster and faster. The more customers we keep serving, the more will get our system system down."

Tiffany's Diner is open Tuesday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is located on 1329 S. Belt Hwy.
