Breakfast enthusiasts have a new spot in St. Joseph with the Biscuits & Gravy Shack opening off of North Belt Highway and Beck Road.

Owner Darin Smith had a 1950s-style diner named The Cafe on the North End of town for multiple years before closing it. He decided to open the second-generation diner due to his love for cooking and working in the restaurant business.
