Our friends told us about this restaurant. It is located in a very small midwest town. When we ate the delicious home style cooking in the restaurant, it felt like we stepped back in time. The food was delicious, the server was very nice and informative. We talked to the owners who care about what they serve and taking pride in what they do. Make sure to save some room for bread pudding desert! We came between after lunchtime and dinner so we didn't have to wait.

We were traveling from Georgia to Colorado and got hungry along the way, so we decided to stop at Frumpy Joe’s — and it turned out to be the best decision we could’ve made. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. You can truly feel the love, warmth, and generosity of joyful people in this place. Frumpy Joe’s has such a genuine and caring atmosphere that it makes you feel right at home. 
The restaurant is very clean, well-organized, and has a cozy, inviting vibe that set the tone for an amazing meal. 
The food was delicious, far better than what we expected to find on a road trip stop. We especially loved the Reuben Corn Beef Sandwich — it was the best choice we made that day, full of flavor and perfectly prepared.  Every dish came out well-prepared, with generous portions and great taste. The prices are very reasonable, which makes the experience even better. 
The service was fast, attentive, and genuinely warm. We didn’t expect to find such good food at a random stop on the road, but we left very surprised and very satisfied with how tasty everything was and how well we were treated.
Definitely a spot we would return to without hesitation. Highly recommended!

The fried chicken dinner is wonderful. Fresh cooked chicken - home made mashed potatoes- the gravy is outstanding and even if you don’t like green beans you will love these. Give this place a spot on your favorites list.

Out freaking standing. We have not been back in some time. The new managment has a commitment to scratch cooking. We ordered the fried chicken special. The chicken was fresh cooked, the mashed potatoes were grime scratch - lumps and all. The gravy was to die for. And even the green beans were absolutely delicious. Folks you need to visit this restaurant in Jonesburg, Mo. only a mile off of I70.

What a unique and excellent restaurant. The gumbo is made in house and it's the best I've ever had! The cajun chicken Sandwich was also very very good. We talked to the owners. They make everything in house and are very proud of their food! I would highly recommend Frumpy Joes to anyone. Thanks for your hard work and dedication in this restaurant.

A great surprise on our roadtrip from Ft Knox to Kansas City! Shared the Reuben sandwich with creamy Cole slaw and a bowl of gumbo. Tempted to try a dessert but we’ll have that on the return trip. Friendly staff, great food, affordable prices, very clean!!

Great pies! Every single pie or dessert is delicious
We had the reuben, the smothered chicken, and the daily special, and I've got to say, best meal I have had in at least a couple decades. If you're traveling between KC and St Louis, make sure to stop off here. Excellent food, hometown service, and a lovely, warm atmosphere.
Just what we were looking for! Quiet town, good food, fast service! Owner/server was the sweetest lady ever. Very personable and friendly! Thank you thank you!

wanted a good “home” cooked meal while passing through on a long road trip, and that is what we received! Excellent food, and generous people.

What an amazing find!!! If you love home cooking rather than fast food chains you absolutely MUST stop by Frumpy Joe’s and eat local. The food was only exceeded by the service. You can taste and feel the love they put into everything they do.
