It's a very small place with a classic "U" shaped bar. Like most dives the seating revolves around bar seating, with a few tables in the back for a more social setting. Full bar, and some of the coldest beer I've ever had. They also have some decent bar food. Burgers, nachos, pizza, pork sandwiches, and pretzels. The good- drinks are extremely reasonable, and the food was great for bar food. Nice outside seating, plenty of parking. The Bad- Smoking, I know these small towns at till allow it, but yuck especially in a small place. Cell phone service can be nonexistent for some providers, and finally it took over an hour to get my food. I understand there's only one tender who makes drinks and food, but an hour is too long.

Best bar for 34 miles. Went on a motorcycle ride and ended up stopping here because a friend of…read moremine suggested it. This place is my new favorite dive bar. It has great atmosphere and they really know how to treat you. Rick the owner was there and never once mentioned he owned the joint. He just sat there and had a few drinks with me and chatted. Dan the karaoke man is about the friendliest there is. Oh and by the way they have wifi. That's right people a biker bar with a homey feeling to that welcomes everyone has good food, great beer (they will now have Guinness) awesome bar staff. The bar tender never let me sit with an empty beer. If you are on a ride and need a stop this is the place, if you are needing a drink at a place that judges no one and accepts everyone this is the place. If you have just had a long day and need a cold beer and a laugh this is the place. On the weekends they also have the wet tshirt contest and jello wrestling.

We arrived at the stroke of midnight and entered a nearly packed and fun venue. The bartenders were efficient and friendly. The indoor and outdoor spaces were much better than our late 80s early 90s college dive bars. The beer flowed in pitchers. Forgot about pitchers.

"Which makes me wonder why they have a no tip bell?" Still the staff is friendly, the regulars are moody, and it's a Springfield traditional dive bar. Yeah; you'll see me here a lot.

That personal connection aside, Crabby's delivers an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. It does lean towards being a bit more expensive, but the quality of the food and the care in presentation make it worth the splurge. I ordered the gnocchi marsala with chicken, and it was nothing short of heavenly. Pillowy gnocchi paired with a rich, savory sauce that lingered beautifully. Mrs. K. chose the salmon pancetta, which arrived as a work of art on the plate, perfectly cooked and elegantly presented. She enjoyed it very much, savoring each bite. And of course, we couldn't resist ending the evening with a crème brûlée: creamy, infused with vanilla, and topped with that satisfying caramelized crust that cracks just right under the spoon. Crabby's is the kind of place where you go not just to eat, but to celebrate, to linger, and to enjoy the finer side of dining in Joplin. It's polished without being pretentious.

I can't believe that in order to try their food I had to cough out just $32 plus tax for a family meal That's ridiculous talk about highway robbery and shaming the customer. I would never go back there and I never recommend them but I did make use of their sauce I bought a pack of $1.19 hot dogs and put it on the hot dogs.
