32 Best American Restaurants in Joplin

“The food was great and Jeremy was an amazing server. This place was recommended to us by 3 community members who stated it was there favorite spot and we can see why.“

“They have excellent food and even more excellent service! I highly recommend eating here! 💯🖤“

“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. :(“

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

“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.“

“Shout out to Isaac at Joplin Cheddar’s. We had a large group of about 15 ladies. Service was excellent! He was very attentive and I didn’t have to wait for any needs or requests. Food was great too. We meet at different restaurants every month and this was the best service I’ve had in a year.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great food with an enjoyable atmosphere for a morning out. The menu has something for everyone and the service was exceptional. Try their Million$$ Bacon, you won't be disappointed“

“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.“

“In town on vaca. Tried several dishes and none of them disappointed. Everything was amazing. The soup, the sides, the main dishes and staff. AMAZING.“

“Been there a few times. Always good service and food. My only complaint is that they don't answer the phone so call in orders are not an option“

“The steak was cooked to perfection and the hasbrowns had a nice crisp top. I love the servers Makayla and Brett, always making sure I am being treated with respect and great service. I love coming to this restaurant!!“

“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.“

“Total gem! Great food! Great entertainment! Super cool dining areas inside and out. Waitstaff are so nice!“

“Everything was great except trying to get to the location. It's very hard to get to the location. You need signs to navigate to this location.“

“We went on the weekend for a date without kids. Matt was a phenomenal server. He made us feel like old pals instead of strangers. The food was amazing. We haven't been there in years due to our last experience being bad. Matt made sure we had everything and was cared for. He made the experience that much better. We will definitely be back and ask for him every time.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“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.“

“I went to the drive through this time. Had one person ahead of me who pulled up while waiting for their order and I appreciated that. My burger was excellent, as always, but what I really came here to say is that I'm a big fan of the fries cooked in beef tallow! I never used to get the fries before this change because I wasn't impressed with them. I saw a sign in front of the restaurant saying they're cooked in beef tallow now so I thought I'd try them. Bravo Steak 'n Shake, good move!“

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

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