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.

“What a lucky find! My new favorite place! Found this hidden gem by accident or plain good fortune.
Whoever creates the specials and flavor combinations is a pure creative culinary genius! Every bite is like a flavor punch to the face!!!! And priced so incredibly reasonable! They have a fantastic lunch menu as well!
We started with poutine fries that were insane, crispy fries & pork belly topped with brisket gravy and cheese curds. I had the special that consisted of a double smash burger with cheese, bacon jam and pimento cheese with spicy pickles and a side salad with their bacon vinegarette. I was branching out and trying new things with uncertainty of that flavor combo but couldn't have been more surprised nor delighted. To die for! That burger needs it's own name and placed on the permanent menu! My husband had the meat sweats pasta with smoky burnt ends, smoked chicken, brisket sausage, grilled peppers, grilled onions over cavatappi pasta in a roasted garlic Alfredo. ...divine! Both were go goid we couldn't help but share!
Added bonus.....the service was second to none! Our server Jake is such an excellent server, knowledgeable, friendly and so enthusiastic about his job that it's utterly contagious! If I ever open a spot of my own....I'm stealing him! He's so dedicated that he drives 40 mile to work there! He's the best!
If you haven't tried Blackstone Gastropub in Joplin, do yourself a favor and discover your new favorite place to eat AND ask for Jake! You'll be glad you did!“

“Ate there for the first time last weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed everything ~ from the nice atmosphere, the delicious food (sweet potato fries were spectacular), the cleanliness, the terrific restrooms, and the friendly staff, I definitely recommend Finn’s! Beth was my server, and did a good job juggling her tables, as well as accommodating a bridal shower celebration on the other side of the restaurant. The kind and helpful hostess, Weslynn, shared her favorite dish and dessert recommendations, and she didn’t steer me wrong. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Great Service! Large party of 15, and our server was awesome! The food was good and came out exactly as ordered. Chicken chunks are a huge portion and very tasty. Chicken Wings were also great with the paired sauces. Appetizers seemed to be prepared frozen items and were just okay.

We enjoy this place and have never had a terrible experience. We will definitely return in the future“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good barbecue, decent price, friendly service. I got take-out so I can't speak for dining in. The food was delicious. The only negative was that the corn was slightly overcooked for my own personal taste. Still good though. I'd recommend trying their barbecue to anyone who can't or doesn't want to fire up their own.“

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

“Very good food, fast and friendly service.“

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