We went to The Bruncheonette after a long hot weekend floating on the river. Everyone there was…read moresuper friendly and welcoming it felt like eating with your family. The food was wonderful. I ordered the poutine and my friends ordered the darth vatos migas and biscuits and gravy. Everything we ate was so good and very cheap considering the food they give you and what it seemed like everything being made in house. After brunch we went to our cars and one of our cars would not start and the workers there even came out to help us. They are above and beyond on service and food! I wish this place wasn't so far away from us because I would come everyday! But we will be back after our next float trip!

The food, service and ambiance are OUTSTANDING! We are glad that we had read the other YELP/Google…read morereviews beforehand as they alerted us to this place's limited hours of operation. Get there when they open, as they fill up quickly!!!!!! I would move to Joplin just to be able to eat breakfast here, everyday they are open. Without a doubt, one of the best breakfast places at which I have ever eaten!!! I thought about recommending this place to Guy Fieri's Diner/Drive ins/and Dives TV show....but, then EVERYONE would know about this place and it would most likely lose its wonderful charm!!! The owners are customer focused, healthy food focused and wonderful "torch bearers" of the concept: Quality, not quantity. Phenomenal!!!!

We used to LOVE Big Biscuit. We stopped going for several months because we never got the chance…read more When we eventually did go back the menu had changed and prices had drastically increased (about $5 per plate). We understood the economy and grocery prices so we ordered anyway. The food was very disappointing. Greasy hash browns, cold hard biscuit, watery gravy. Nothing like they had been!!! We will not be returning. This was a breakfast that costs us almost $40 for two with waters. Not again. The service was the only good thing about our visit.

My wife and I decided to eat here last week. It was a nice experience. I had 1201 Benedicts with…read morethe Crab Cakes. It tasted great. I was disappointed that the eggs were overcooked. My wife had the avocado toast. She said it was really good. Service was great and it's a neat atmosphere. It was a little loud because it's so busy. So if you want quiet, this isn't your place. My only complaint other than the over cooked eggs is the price. First, the menu prices are not updated. My meal said it was $19.00. In reality, it was $22.00. So it's pricy. Not really worth it for an every week place to eat in my opinion. I will probably only eat here on special occasions in the future. We spent just under $50.00 without tip. We had water to drink and I had a coffee. There are plenty of other places in Joplin with food priced more reasonably and that is just as good. It's definitely worth trying, just know it's pricy.

The staff here is extremely nice, if you need anything just ask.

Their breakfast is as good as it gets when it comes to cafe food. Their meatloaf is some of the best I've had to be honest. I love their homemade hot rolls they serve with the meatloaf. The hamburger steak is one of my favorites. Their green beans are ok. Probably their weakest side. Their country potatoes are among my favorites. The service is always good. The ladies there work hard and know their customers. It's loud when full of customers, but hey..at least they are busy. It's always clean and they are friendly. Obviously I love this place. If you want great cafe food, then just eat here. Oh, give their baked goods a try. You'll thank me later. :-)

Don't get me wrong the biscuits and gravy were very good, I just needed something sweet after the awesome home style breakfast. Would definitely come back.
