This place is absolute 5-. Was traveling and asked what on the menu would be similar to Filet Mignon Oscar, or Filet Mignon Chesapeake. Nicholas, the waiter, was outstanding with recommendation and kindness. The food was outstanding, but Nicholas going the extra mile to take care of us after a long day of travel topped it off. Definitely recommend this place, and ask for Nicholas' section. read more

This review is based on a very small experience and only about the food. The service was really lovely - I ordered takeout. Got a Horiatiki salad with gyro meat ... that ended up being $13 for ... such an utterly paltry serving. I guess I was assuming the salad would be far more substantial like at other Greek restaurants I've been to, but unfortunately not. Taste was fine, just so overpriced. read more

Mythos - a tray of food and a container of meat - Greek Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

The best food in town! Don't let the Greek scare you, they have the best steaks in the area! The atmosphere is great for date night and the staff is always friendly. read more

This place was fantastic! I'd definitely return and our server Dale was incredible. We came through the door and got seated right away. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing! I mean every single bite was exactly what it needed to be. The bread rolls were mouth watering. read more

Everything has always been good here including takeout. Lunch prices are reasonable especially given the food quality. Dinner prices are high, but again the quality matches. Favorites include the Spicy Feta Dip, Tour of Mythos, and the Gyro Platter. Service is always good too, they never seem short-staffed or stressed. This is on our list of go-to places for business lunches, special occasions, and out of town visitors. read more

Excellent. Surprisingly inventive foods and not typical greek. This place could stand on its own in any large metro, and I was surprised at the quality and service for Joplin where we usually have to lower our standards compared to other cities we have lived in. Our water was great, interesting and eclectic. The food was great, the atmosphere casually romantic. A great place for a business meal or date night. This might just be the best restaurant in town! read more

If you're looking for excellent food, great atmosphere, and a truly delightful dining experience this is the place. My Husband and I are regulars because we know the food will be delicious, the atmosphere is dimly lit and quiet so we can actually have a conversation, and above all we are NEVER rushed. This is the one restaurant in Joplin where we don't have to worry that our food will arrive on top of our salads. Our entire dinner is perfectly timed. Then it's a bonus when George the owner comes out to chat. Even if you don't like Greek there is something on the menu for you so don't hesitate to dine here! The popular appetizer is 'flaming cheese' as our Granddaughter calls it, but my favorite is the spicy feta dip. I order one to eat and one to go for breakfast the next day. :-) read more

We had an early Mother's Day dinner at Mythos, one of our favorite restaurants!! Their waitstaff is incredible just like their food! read more

What a gem of a restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing, we had the spicy feta and hummus to start. Both were very good, but the pitas for each were phenomenal! They came out super warm and it was a huge portion for each. We also got the filet, which was cooked to medium perfection, melted in our mouths. Large wine and cocktail selection, the margarita was great. The crème brûlée was a perfect end to the meal, very light and delicious! At the top of list was our server Haven, who was sweet as can be and delivered above and beyond service. We could not believe how few people there were in here on a Friday night, as the ambiance is great with even better food and service. We will definitely be making it a tradition to stop here on our semi annual visits to Joplin. Not enough wonderful things to say about this fabulous restaurant! read more

Great experience! We were driving through on a trip, and I looked on Yelp for restaurants with gluten-free options. Aside from fast-food chains, this is the only restaurant that popped up on my gf app. When I looked on Yelp, Mythos had great reviews. The inside was fancier than I expected, but the food was delicious and the gluten-free items were clearly marked. Our party of three ordered: tour of Mythos, chicken Parmesan, and a hamburger. All three orders came out the way we ordered them, and the food was hot. The server offered fresh ground pepper, and she stopped by several times to refill our drinks. We had leftovers- the portions were large. If we are ever in Joplin again, we will stop here for a yummy meal. read more

Food was very good! Definitely worth a try if you're looking for the that type of cuisine.

This is one of the best Dinner spots for a fine ethnic meal in the region, we drive up from Tulsa for a meal. The dinning room is spacious and comfortable, the selections always fresh and the service spot on. You will not be disappointed, give it a try and you will be hooked. Everything we have tried so far has been exemplary samples of some of the best, most flavorful dishes of this type available in the Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas areas. My only disappointment has been that the baklava was a bit past it's prime for one desert. read more

Food was delicious! Perfect place to celebrate your anniversary or any special moment! My favorite place to go on date nights! Feta dip is a must try! read more

Had the Saganaki cheese and Gyros. I wold have preferred more crisp on the cheese but the taste was on point. The gyro was one of the best I've ever had anywhere in the US, or in Greece! Great job, Mythos. read more

Great food and great service. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the dishes. Atmosphere perfect for casual dining or a date night.

Best cocktails in town. The hummus is wonderful and the service is impeccable. We love this place!

Great service food was amazing as always:) quiet dimly lit dining room Bourbon selection good:))

The food, service and atmosphere is amazing. But the dinner prices are outrageous for this area. The lunch menu however does have a lot of affordable options! I highly recommend trying this place whether you live here or are just driving through! read more

Food is always good but I would appreciate options to reduce carbs in a fine dining sort of way. Beautiful place with great service.

Amazing food and service! Not all Greek food. Fettuccine is amazing! Steaks so tender you can cut with a fork.

Came with a group of work associates. Ordered a cocktail, rum and coke with lime, no lime. Over an hour to get my Gyros Platter. I have had much better from a food truck. Large portions but dry as beef jersey and virtually no vegetables to speak of. The potato wedges were equally dry and inedible. In all fairness everyone around me raved about their steaks but I apparently Ordered the wrong menu item because I sent most of it back. Nice atmosphere, slow food service but attentive wait staff. Wouldn't go back but as long as someone else paid, I give them a 3. read more

We drive over an hour to visit Mythos each month. One of our favorite places and definitely the best Greek food in SW Missouri! Recommend the Tour of Mythos to get a taste of the delicacies of the Mediterranean- large enough to share. Alicante gi wrong with the appetizer of spicy feta - delicious! read more

Reviewed December 5, 2018 No health score available. It is above average. It is Greek, but with a rich, heavy spin. We started with the Spicy Feta Dip. It is large dollop of feta cheese, cream cheese, pepperoncini peppers, served with crispy toasted pita bread. It is spicy and tasty, excellent! Very rich! It is enough for 4-6 people. One of the soups of the day was jalapeno potato bisque. A very good and filling soup with an ample amount of spice (heat). I had to try the Lobster Club. It is lobster meat, peppered pancetta, herb roasted tomatoes, onions & red pepper mayonnaise on wheat toast. The lobster pieces on the sandwich were a little strong tasting (fishy). It is extremely rich with the grilled onions and red pepper mayonnaise. I could only eat about half of the sandwich. I can't recommend it. The other meal was House Greek Salad served with the Mythos house dressing and Gyro meat. The Mythos house dressing just didn't work with the salad. Too heavy. It was not the light tasty olive oil and lemon Greek dressing that you would expect to get with a Greek salad. Overall if you are looking for light/healthy Mediterranean dining this place might not work for you. But, the food is good (just a richer/ heavier version than your typical Greek). The service is good, and the ambiance of the restaurant is nice. Note: This review and photos were originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S. read more

We went here in June - without of town family and it did not disappoint. We ordered a ton of appetizers and the four of us shared. It was great as we got to try a little bit of everything - my favorite way to experience a restaurant. We are going to try the lunch as we would really like to experience their gyros. read more

Great place to eat super nice place. The owners are spectacular people. During the tornado back in 2011 they fed my whole unit that was there and the food was incredible. Thank you mythos for your support read more

Restaurant is nice, decor is great. Damon was very friendly and helpful. Great service. The food was very good and spot on for value.

We get mythos from our company and so far it has been soggy wet cold and if I do eat some I'm in the bathroom a lot my advice go to a real restaurant that cares about their food in house or being catered neither is not up to standard read more

Food, service, ambiance all top notch! We had a wonder meal here with family and loved every minute.

Great service, food selections were varied and if the highest quality! We ate lunch and the billed weighed in under $30 and we left full and happy! Looking forward to an evening dinner return in the future. read more

So amazing! next time I'm down near Joplin and Springfield I'll go out of my way to eat here again!! read more

Excellent. Really enjoyed the fine dining experience. We arrived minutes after opening on a Monday as we were driving through and looking for a quality meal. My husband splurged on the filet and prawn. I had the Tour of Mythos. Tons of food! We tried both soups and Caesar salad which were excellent. Figured we would be the only ones in there but the dining area started filling up immediately. Service was 10/10! read more

We ate here for Valentine's Day! We had reservations for 6pm. They promptly seated us. Our waiter was wonderful, very attentive. He filled our glasses at least 7 times. Appetizer: crab cakes delicious! Supper was a special menu. Husband got de constructed lobster Wellington. He loved it. It came with 4 tails and mashed potatoes. Also a salad. I got the filet medallions with red wine reduction, sweet potatoe purée and salad. Steak was cooked perfect. Tender, pink in the middle- medium. Side of bread with olive oil and balsamic oil. Our night was amazing. Thank you to the staff! We weren't hurried to get out and everything came out at a decent pace. Atmosphere is quiet dark, intimate read more

Let me just say, that for a small town like Joplin, to have a quality restaurant that you would see in big metro cities should say something. First and foremost, I instantly knew it was going to be good food when I saw what care they took with just how they presented a curb-side pick up meal. The chef was able to make my meal still presentable on the go... That takes thought and care... They didn't just slap it in a box and throw it at me, as a matter of fact the chef himself personally delivered it out to my vehicle. It's obvious he took great pride in it, which he should because the dinner was great! The pairing of the filet medallions with the risotto was on point. The roasted onion soubise packed a perfect base for this meal with the charred tomatoes giving just that little bit of acidity to couple the flavors together. The Champignon fillet was perfectly cooked as ordered, the only slight miss for me was the crab and lobster stuffed portabella, SIMPLY because of the seafood element not because it tasted bad or anything. It can just limit people ordering this menu item because of possible allergies. The red pepper butter sauce reduction was AMAZING and paired extremely well with the fingerling potatoes. It was sublime! Last but not least, the vegetarian option which is such a welcome addition to any menu when you have alternative option minded people looking for great food... The potato gnocchi was sublime! Perfectly done, and paired well with the veggies. The only thing as a personal thing I didn't like was the broccoli, BUT it was steamed to a perfection. All the vegetables were right on the money in texture and taste. Once again, the gnocchi: SUBLIME! The chef should be very proud, I am not a local, but I will DEFINITELY be back to try the other menu options knowing that I will not be getting a sub-par meal. I HIGHLY recommend this place, and kudos to the chef and staff! read more

In Joplin for the weekend. We had no idea when we chose the Greek restaurant that we would also be finding the only certified Angus steak restaurant in the area. We started with the Tour of Mythos appetizer platter (including two shots of blue Ouzo. Everything was delicious. The Dolmas were surprisingly light and airy. I had the Blackberry Filet, which was cooked a perfect medium rare, and my husband had the Wild Mushroom Chicken Penne which was served in a rich sauce with surprising depth of flavor. We were so impressed by the entire experience we decided we had to go back the next night just to try different menu items, as there's no telling when we might be back in Joplin ever again. Last night we started with the crab cake appetizer, which has to rate among the best crabcakes we've ever eaten. For entrées, I chose the Crab Crusted Salmon with white truffle asparagus risotto. My husband chose the Pepper Grilled Rib-Eye with blue cheese and caramelized onions and grilled portobellos. Once again the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, and the risotto was divine. For dessert we had the strawberry shortcake, which they are deservedly proud of. On the whole, four excellent meals. I don't know when or if we will ever be in Joplin, Missouri again, but if we are will definitely be returning. read more

This Greek restaurant is simply fabulous and has the best service in Joplin. The moment you enter this restaurant you are greeted by positive and friendly people that show you to your table. Because you make reservations ahead, there is a very short wait to be seated. This place has a low dim light and elegance to the entire atmosphere. The entire menu is absolutely marvelous and they refill your water glass and coffee without you asking. It is a low keyed (no hurry or rush), the kind of dining that is expected of a upscale Greek restaurant and some restaurants lack this nowadays. They are not a bistro, but you can order almost anything that is authentic Greek or just a salad and soup if you prefer to eat light. They even have a lunch menu that they serve on Sundays that is inexpensive and a very good choice to visit after church and I consider upscale and healthy. ( if I had a choice of healthy at an economical price versus going to a fast food restaurant that charges the same pricing for lunch that is not so good as you thought, Id choose this place). Their pastries are to die for and authentic! I recommend this restaurant as one of the best to visit in Joplin. When we want to eat food that tastes elegant we visit This place for to celebrate a an occasion . read more

Drinks : A very good selection of wine with a fully stocked bar. Food : Right from the appetizers to the dessert, everything was perfect! The Tour of Mythos is a good appetizer sampler for a group. Do try their Tiramisu. Service : A true winner! Right from making the reservation to paying the check was flawless. Great service goes a long way and Matt excelled at it. Ambience : A fine dining experience in Joplin. They have a private dining area, which was perfect for a business dinner. Ample parking available. Pricing : On the expensive side but you the cost is justified by the awesome food and excellent service. Overall, an amazing restaurant to visit if you are in Joplin. Will I return? Absolutely! read more

The food and service was amazing! The crab cakes, the filet, the habanero ahi tuna, the ancient grains, the Greek salad and the chocolate lava all come highly recommended. We were there for my granny & gpa's 63rd wedding anniversary - the music, the atmosphere and our server Brittany - were all top notch! (Sorry I didn't my usual food pics, didn't wanna be "that guy" in the dimly lit fancy restaurant. But I can assure you, it was all plated beautifully.) read more
