    I was really excited to try this restaurant so am now very sad to say that I can only give them…read morethree stars and I feel like that's being generous. Let's dig in... First I'll say that I had studied the menu posted on here and when we got there it has changed so I will post the updated menu. We started with the calamari. On the old menu it came with marinara, spinach and peppadew peppers. Sounded fantastic! New menu came with marinara and cherry peppers. Eh, not as exciting but we went ahead with it. What came out was so disappointing! There is a photo here on yelp of a ribeye steak with a basket of calamari in the background that looks really good. What we got was completely different. Pre-breaded frozen rings in a heavy, flavorless batter. They were greasy and there were no cherry peppers or garnish of any kind. The marinara was bleh and sweet. No amount of salt helped either the marinara or the calamari. The dish was in serious need of some acid to cut through all the grease, batter and sweet marinara so I asked for some lemon wedges. They were out of lemons. Next should have been the salad but it came out with the meal instead. That always irks me. Anyway I had gone with the wedge because photos of the house and caesar salads looked pretty boring. The wedge was delicious. A little bit more dressing would have been great but the blue cheese crumbles, jam and tomatoes were on point and the lettuce was crisp and refreshing. Then the entree. Old menu had a 16 oz ribeye for $40, now they offer a 14 oz for $50. Again, I went ahead with it. The farm-to-table beef was what brought us in. I ordered medium rare and felt like it was just barely there, maybe that was just tonight or maybe that's how they always do it, IDK. It was tender, juicy and had great beef flavor, the rancher that raised it did a great job. The cook? Not so much. It needed salt, in fact I don't think there was any seasoning on it at all from the kitchen. I'm a steak purist but a little salt and pepper go a long way and a pat of butter on top really sets it off. Some of the photos here on yelp show beautiful steaks with butter and chives on top. This was just steak. Excellent quality, poor execution. Now let's talk about the side dish. The menu said "roasted corn with bacon, onions, cream and parmesan". Sounds fantastic, right? I can see an image of it in my head and almost taste it! What I got though was absolutely gross and they should have been embarrassed to serve. I guess it was canned corn because frozen should have tasted fresher. It was NOT roasted. The kernels were tough and starchy like field corn, not sweet corn. There were no onions and no parmesan but it was floating in some milk or half and half, I couldn't tell which. Not cream. And it had some bacon in there which was what I picked out and ate because it was the only edible part of the dish. Last was dessert. I was dying to try the ooey gooey butter cake but alas, that was on the old menu, not this one. So we settled for carrot cake. It was a big serving and it tasted fine but it was just a standard bakery cake. It was garnished with whipped cream and caramel which I felt was out of place but hubby liked. The cream cheese frosting was good and there was lots of carrot and raisins in it. Overall the entire meal was just a big "miss" for both of us. Our server was nice and the rest of the staff as well. The place was nicely decorated and had a great deck out back. But when we heard farm-to-table beef I guess we envisioned more than grocery store frozen calamari, nasty corn and basic bakery cake. Even the steak although of excellent quality was lacking, due to under seasoning and under cooking it. The entire experience was just a big disappointment unfortunately. I hope it was an off night for them but we won't be back to find out.

    This is a "re do" if an old long standing restaurant, reopened for about a year now. Hubs and I…read morewere looking for something quick and casual. This popped up and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The owners have taken care to give it some upscale touches. (The ladies restroom is selfie worthy.) There is one pool table, nice dining spots for groups and couples, a dartboard and a really nice couch area with a fireplace. The food was pretty good, drinks and service were great. Happy to have stumbled on this place. Just keep in mind it is a bar. There is music, karaoke the night we were there...the point being if you're looking for some place intimate to have a conversation over dinner this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a good casual time, highly recommend.

Not what I expected from a place advertising wood fire pizza. I sat at the bar and the bartender might have just been having a bad day but she was not into it! The place was really cool, great looking bar, cool vibe. I drive from NWA to Joplin a couple of times a month and have been wanting to try it. Its about 10 minutes, each way off 49, and would have been well worth the time if the food and and service were as good as the atmosphere.

Located under ground in the Neosho square; there's not a lot of seating but such a cool atmosphere. We stayed with the pretzels with beer cheese and mustard - these were very good. Nice flavor on the cheese. Pretzels were soft and salty. Loved it! Hubby tried the wood grilled wings appetizer - he LOVED them. Nice char and smokiness in the best way possible. Hot honey and garlic parm flavor. Huge wings compared to other wing places. Super juicy and flavorful. Couldn't have been better. I chose the Maui Waui pizza. Got the individual size (all signature pizzas can be made individual) - which is a rectangle of 6 slices. Had an AMAZING flavor. Excellent crunch on the crust. I absolutely loved this pizza. Pineapples were sweet, honey was hot (but not overpowering). Great contrast. I have ordered this every time I visit.

From the managers to the bartenders to the wait staff, the front of the house employees are always fantastic. The kitchen shines when the food is delivered quickly and well prepared. We visit on a regular basis. You can't go wrong with their burgers- my personal favorite has been the rodeo burger lately. But I've tried them all and you literally can't go wrong with any of them. I prefer the tots - they're crunchy, but not greasy or salty. Their fries are good as well and my family loves the sweet potato fries with honey on the side. With the summer heat I've been more in a salad mood and their salads are really delicious. We recently discovered the Citrus Berry Crunch salad. It's served with delicious strawberries, blueberries and mandarin oranges. The poppyseed vinaigrette goes so well with this salad. They have a great patio that features live music on the weekends. Pets are allowed on the patio, so if you're a dog lover bring your pooch, listen to some great music, have a drink and relax!
