Food Scene

The best brunch in Missouri! We love this place so much that you'll find us there every Friday morning at 8:30. The food is all locally-souced and the adventurous specials are Instagram-worthy. It's not open on Mondays or Tuesdays but it's a can't miss meal any other day of the week. Local tip: order at the counter before sitting at a table.

This new, hip joint has the best coffee vibe in town. Right in the heart of Joplin, it's a perfect spot to get some work done or catch up with friends. Local tip: the only local coffee shop drive through in town, just make sure you pull up to the side door.

This is a local institution. If you like wings, you have to stop here. Right off Route 66, the Memphis-style wings will change your life. Local tip: get a hightop table in the TV room and watch a game or ask to be seated in the original restaurant for a quieter dining experience.

We love brisket in our house and this is the only place in town that does it right. Located inside a gas station on the way to the airport, Woody's will serve you as much (or little) sliced brisket as you'd like. Local tip: Good for breakfast too. Pick up a breakfast burrito in the drive-thru.

Located south of Joplin, just across the river, this little ice cream shop is a family delight. Our crew loves spending a slow outing here. Your family will talk about the outdoor seating, and little train track, for years to come. Local tip: grab a milkshake and walk across the street to the foot bridge over the river for an unforgettable sunset experience.

Drinks & Nightlife

The best burger and outdoor dining in town. Remodeled after the 2011 tornado, the owners tried to build it back as a music venue. However, the food was too good to keep the lunch crowds away. Local tip: they don't serve food outside on Friday or Saturday nights but that doesn't mean you shouldn't hop on a couch that overlooks Main Street on a nice evening.

Essentials

This place is so cool. Located in a renovated factory, the B&B is a perfect place to get a fresh new look. Guys and girls can find what they need here but we'd recommend a straight-edge shave if you have the time. Local tip: walk-ins are welcome but give DeeDee a call and she'll hook you up.

Parks & Nature

Located exactly one mile from our house, Mercy Park was built after the 2011 tornado as a tribute to the town's toughness and beauty. The walking trail and fountains set the scene and the parking lot bumps up against the KCU med school. Local tip: the Walmart Neighborhood Market across the street will have all of your picnic supplies.
