Lots of flavor and very juicy. The patty needed a little salt but otherwise it was good. The sweet potato fries stole the prize though. Man are the spectacular. Perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection with just a little salt. The atmosphere is good. Very casual. It's not full service so if you run out of your favorite soft drink, then that's on you! It is free refills. So get up and go get more. I'd definitely recommend this place. I believe the chicken tenders are better than the burger, but the burger isn't anything to sneeze at either.

Not only was the food great but I just love the setting of this place. There is a small film area, lots of board games to have a cute board game night and even a backyard with live music!! As for food, I got the truffled grapes and a bahn mi with a side salad. All items were tasty and I felt very healthy after that meal!! The sauces/dressings they use are so tasty and really elevate the sandwich/salad. I wish they added a little more honestly! My only issues with this restaurant are they run out of some sides very quickly. My friends and I went at peak dinner time (5/6pm) and they didn't have a lot of sides left! I was really looking forward to trying the fries but I guess that means I just have to go back again! My other comment is the price. I spent roughly $12 for the sandwich and $6 for the grapes. As good as they were, the portion size for the price was a little bit unequal. I was still hungry after :( However, I do still highly recommend this place and would definitely want to go back (especially when they got a movie play!)

The owner is exceptionally nice and fun to talk to. Now, the Cajun food....not gonna be your top notch traditional Cajun food. Gumbo needs more seasoning and better shrimp.

Looking at these past reviews I'm glad I didn't say anything while at the restaurant seeing as how when the owner gets confronted, he is a complete a**. Everyone was very nice but it just isn't worth the visit.

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.

That is one of our issues though. Is the menu online is different Than the menu in the restaurant my wife had her heart set on duck, but there is no duck. She changed to the crab cake instead. The crabcakes were fairly large, and not overly bread. They were very good. I had the seafood medley, which was a great value for the price. The scallops were probably the best thing on the plate. They work perfectly. We started off the meal with Aji tuna nachos. that was the best bite of food tonight. They were delicious and we scarf them all down. If you are coming on a weekend evening, please make sure to call ahead for a reservation. We are very happy with the amount of parking. As we are out of towners, it's always nice to find a restaurant where parking is easy. The ambiance was cozy. Our service was great, Maddie was our server and I highly recommend her!

Yet, Joplin has one of the best Mexican food restaurants I've ever eaten in. A mix of authentic and Tex-Mex. For example: steak is one of their specialties and is offered on many items. It's a thin steak but what a great flavor! Not dressed up with a bunch of condiments which let's that wonderful chargrilled flavor through. And they serve huge pieces. Then they have French fries with steak pieces {a lot!}, and dressed like all the way nachos. And they have a huge menu. Order a drink and read it through. If you're a chili relleno lover, don't leave without getting one. Authentic red chili sauce and a large amount of cheese in the middle. I don't want to skip further mention of the drinks. They are large and they are good! Unbelievably, they use fresh juices in their drinks. If you've never had a margarita with fresh fruit juice. these are out of this world good. But unlike most Mexican places, they also offer craft drinks (blackberry) and they too are huge and good . Beer of corse is plentiful. The variety, the music but especially the food elevate this restaurant to my highest recommended Mexican restaurant anywhere in the US. (The service is good but only if you get the guy that's always buzzing around or if you speak Spanish.. or take your translating earbuds ). I went back home last time dreaming of this place and couldn't wait to get there on this trip. And just a note: The Habaneros in the orange building on some busy street (sorry I'm a tourist) is not, I hear, owned by the same people. I don't know about the others. Final word: hurry to Habaneros on Main before someone steals their chef and their bartender, as is what usually happens to really good chefs and bartenders. They can make or break a restaurant, as I often state. Bon Appetito!

Why did I NOT know about this FAMOUS Joplin Wing place? I have been missing out, but I have been…read moresaved :) The wings are big and delicious!! Got the bone-in (bbq) and they were so good!! Paired them with fries and their fries were super tight too. I am a pretty good eater and I got 5 wings and fries and that was a good sized meal. I was full but not stuffed. Service was great! Waitress was around checking on us and they had a dual wait staff to make sure we had someone always checking on us. The place is wide open inside and has a sports bar feel on one side and the other side is more dining room feeling. We had TVs to watch all the live games. The FOOD is KING here as those wings are worth showing iiírp.
