Joplin
 

So the Mrs. And I are going to sell our home in kc and move to our lake place Grand Lake OK. Going to be working in Joplin Mo. Any recommendations on good restaurants and bars in Joplin would be appreciated.

Red Hot and Blue Bar B Que

Always stop there when I pass through town.

Good luck, sounds like fun. I'd love to live at the lake full time.

Tell her I said hi.

Joplin has several good locally owned restaurants. The top three “nice” ones are:

Mythos
Crabby’s
Wilders

609 also has pretty good food and an awesome happy hour.

More fun restaurants are Eagle Drive-in (specialty burgers), Hackett’s Hot Wings, Instant Karma (specialty hot dogs and craft beer), The Bruncheonette, Kinnaree Thai Cuisine, Ichiban for suishi, Woody’s Woodfire Pizza, Hortons pizza for delivery/take out, Tropicana Bar and Grill, Lalos taqueria, El Vallarta

Infuxn is probably the best bar, that’s mainly just a bar. Most of the above have a bar in the restaurant. I’m sure that I’m also missing a few that others can add in later.

Hackett Hot Wings. Randomly stopped there not long ago. Pretty good.

Big R's BBQ

is a good place

Gusano's has the best pizza in town.

Del rio has good Mexican food

Big rs

Texas Roadhouse

I went to gusanos once food was meh service was horrible

Oh don’t forget hurts donuts

This pretty much covers it.

Our favorite place is Crabby's and I frequent Instant Karma at least 1 day a week, mainly for beer.

Fred and Reds
Mazzio's Pizza

Taco Town in Carthage!

People willingly move to Oklahoma?

Find a farmer friend and look for arrowheads after a plow and rain. They're everywhere out there. So much fun!

I visited Joplin last year for the first time since I moved away in first grade. I recreated a photo in the driveway of my old house where I was on my way to school. The owner was skeptical at first until I showed him the original picture.

I don't remember any specific restaurants.

Mazzios closed have to go to Pittsburg ks

well son of a bitch!

well in that case you could go ahead and consolidate and hit up Pallucca and Frontenac Bakery too. :)

Dudes' Donuts is awesome

They suck

I’m not a big fan either but a lot of people seem to like it. I agree with the above dudes the way to go

Dudes has the best glazed donuts I've ever had.

There is a place in Clinton called donut palace, the one in buffalo might be the same, and they are the best I've ever had

what part of grand? I used to do a lot of running around on grand.

Yeah. Don't ever go to Joplin.

Thanks everyone . DG I said hi to the Mrs. There is a Mazzios in Grove where I am going to live but there is a small ma and Pa pizza joint Good fellas that I think is even better. I think being able to have a cocktail on the boat every night after work is going to be a nice change. Well that and having no mortgage and very few bills.v

good for you bud! :clap:

there used to be a pretty solid pizza joint at a marina across the bridge headed towards jay, I think it was paparazzi pizza.

Grove close to Longs Resort . Someone asked about moving to OK on purpose but the strange thing is how many people are from California that now live in Grove.

I live in pryor about 45 minutes away and theres a lot of cali transfers. in jr. high and high school we would have 3-7 new kids from cali every year. as a matter of fact that's how my wifes family ended up here. the lure of work in the mid America industrial park and a low cost of living.

Same here. Tax incentives

burr king moved their whole business and employees here years ago. Major tax breaks I think

Bought a new truck in December used my OK address saved me a few thousand in sales tax and licensing.

Tell Pete at Woody's Pizza I said what's up.

im in pittsburg, my neighbors parents own Wise Guys. i believe its an italian sammich shop. i hear its really good, but i haven't made it there yet.
