“My most favorite Best place in Joplin to eat best burgers fries and spaghetti red !! There hours open not long enough so good luck ! Thats my only complaint they are always closed when i get my heart set on stogeys. :(“

“Food is typically reliably good. The only issue is sometimes it takes a while to get your food. There have been multiple times it's taken roughly 45 minutes to get a few wings and fries. That's my only complaint, other than that the food is always good and the wait staff is always good.“

“Was immediately greeted by the bartender walking through the door. Sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks that were very well blended. My bartender was Adam, who was attentive and funny. Bar was clean. My friend had a blueberry Martini that she has not stopped talking about every sense. We played pool and had a good time. 10/10 would recommend.“

“The service and food is this location in Webb City has really gone downhill. My food tasted old it was burnt. Definitely not worth the money. Most of the time the kids are too busy in the drive you're talking to each other though be able to help you right. I would recommend eating somewhere else.“

“Great food and service! Shout out to Alan for having great customer service me and my fiancée will be back definitely“

“Food and vibe was cool. Service was blah. Our server was slow, uncaring and also blah. The drinks came super slow which I found wierd because there may have been 10 people there with 2 servers, a bar tender and a lady that circled our table waiting for us to be done eating. The part which perplexed me was that our server brought our check before we asked and seemed perturbed we wanted another drink. Dont expect a normal dining experience here. Slow and boring is the experience I had.“

“I would give the Joplin Cracker Barrel a 3 out 5 for our recent visit.“

“I ordered the smores and pink velvet iced coffee. So yummy! I got the breakfast burrito. It was stuffed full. With bacon, sausage, tots, eggs, and cheese. So delicious! I got so full. Will be returning again soon. Can't wait to eat the waffles and try the waffle burger. Just grabbed the burrito today, so I could take it with me and eat it on the go. Was in a hurry, walked in ordered, and was in and out in less then 5 mins. Lady even opened the door for me to leave. Lots of space in what looks like a small building. Plenty of sitting outside as well.

Kid-friendliness: Delicious options. Kids will love to eat off this menu!“

“Basically my go to for a well priced and filling meal. This place never fails to deliver the food wonderfully hot. Lots of good options no matter what type of food you’re looking for. Staff are very good and the place seems to run very efficiently. Came here more times than I can bother to count

Parking: Plenty of parking but can be difficult to find a spot in peak hours“

“We really enjoyed our visit. The burger, steak, and dessert and drinks were delicious. The chili was good, but needed bread or crackers to go with it. The fries were a little too crispy/burnt but not bad. We would totally eat here again. Our waiter was awesome and we liked the atmosphere.“

“The service is top notch at Tropicana in Joplin Missouri! That’s what I love the most about it! The food is great, beer and bourbon selection are solid - small but mighty, great vibe early or late. I suggest the Shrimp Tacos or Your Mom (Turkey sandwich), and the house chips are amazingly addictive.“

“This is actually my second time going to waffle House. The first time was in Springfield, Missouri, but I forgot to post it.. pretty cheap and good and I have my waffles cooked to perfection! Keep up the good work not only my head is when I went to the restroom. It was clean, but they use Leach on the floors and I just don’t like that smell personally“

“John was a great bartender full of knowledge about drinks, the area and his favs on the menu! He made us feel at home… when we still had 8 hours to drive! Thank you!“

“Excellent service. The manager is extremely friendly“

“Visited this restaurant today after not going for quite awhile. Employees were rude. Asked for a water refill ( 8 oz foam cup) and was told they cannot do that so went to ladies restroom to refill. There were upcharges on several things. Won't be going back.“

“After being at the water park all day, this place was what we needed to end the day.

For a chain Bbq restaurant, the food is really good. They happen to have a special for the night for their 30th anniversary. It definitely did what they said it would, fill us up with some left over for a family of 6 to take home.

Ribs were on point tonight and the cornbread was ?.

Smoked chicken was delicious.

Kid friendly and the booths are big enough for a family of 6.

Highly Recommended this place.“

“Bryan showed outstanding customer service the food was great and everyone was working. the shift at 5:33 pm today did a great job. I really appreciate it.“

“Rebecca is an absolutely amazing bartender. She doesn’t stop moving. She’s very attentive. She cares about every patron at the bar and she makes it feel like home. Super blessed to have met her on my trip and hope she has unlimited success here. Hackett’s got a great one. BB“

“A friend and I went to eat this evening and our waitress Emily was amazing. I had a small problem with my steak and she immediately fixed it. I have major food allergies and she made sure it was all safe. When I go back again I will ask to set in your section. Thank you Emily for making our night worth driving the hour to eat a wonderful steak.“

“I always have great service and great conversation from my waitress Maddy! Always keeps my coffee filled and the food is great as well!“

“Pretty decent BBQ joint. Compared to what we have (famous Dave's) it was a lot better and nearly the same price. Side note, seeing on a map how big the tornado was that went thru Joplin on the Netflix documentary than actually coming here I couldn't imagine how terrifying that day must have been.........“

“service, food. If you get Sam, she is a great waitress! I strongly recommend the Salmon, tender, juicy, grilled to perfection.“

“Not many restaurants these days ask how you want your burger. I was amazed they asked. Wonderful serves and amazing food!! And the quesadilla burger the first time I ate one. And it was awesome

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel cheer ramp and even one to the higher area“
