    Food, service could be improved. Don't go there anymore. Very inconsistent quality and they always mess up the order.

    Always stop by while at the lake. Amazing food and some of the best ice cream out there. Good service. Highly recommend it.

    A great selection of tasty snacks, full meals, and delicious desserts. Some of the best burgers around.

    Every once in a while, you stop at a restaurant that takes you back in time. That Place is such a…read moreplace. It looks like a soda fountain straight out of a 1940s movie, quaint, and having that old time appeal. We stopped in on a Saturday night when they were in their busiest time of day, but we were seated promptly and they took our order within 10 minutes. The truly amazing part was that there were three high school girls there and no adult supervision and they were doing great . The young lady that waited on us called us y'all and sir. Not only was I impressed, I was also shocked. We kept it simple, so both me and my buddy had a cheeseburger, the best onion rings I've had in a long time, and a chocolate shake. All were delicious and the next time I'm in that area, I'm gonna come in and try something else. I would've left pictures of the food, but all I wanted to do was start eating the minute she set it down. If you're anywhere near this place, stop in and enjoy not only the ambience, but also the friendly service and the great food .

They can get busy at times but let them know if you need something and they will be right on it. They have a good selection of hand-dipped ice cream. There is a daily menu special too. The owner honors veterans and supports the local American Legion members. They have a good Philly cheese steak sandwich and a nice variety on the menu. They usually have some oldies music playing, toys for the kids, and nostalgic decor. Prices are fair. Worth a stop anytime except Sunday, they are closed. ;)

    This place is a hole in the wall but not necessarily in the "good" hole in the wall way. It offers…read morelarge portions of mediocre overcooked bar food (burgers, sandwiches, fried foods, a few salads and some home cooking specials). The inside looks like a dive bar and a basic cafe combined. Meager looking tables, chairs and booths with second rate condiments on the tables (who's ever heard of Red Gold Ketchup). The waitresses are pleasant. If you are looking to fill up on basic bar food then perhaps you will enjoy and be the type to give a 5 star rating like others have. For me, it's a 2 star rating. Not the worst I've ever had but far, far from the best.

    We stopped in for lunch this afternoon. It happened to be Tuesday, the day the restaurant only…read moreserves fried chicken due to any allergies a customer might have. My meal, two pieces of white meat, coleslaw, mash potatoes and Texas Toast for $9.95! Large portions of delicious juicy fried chicken golden brown, buttery creamy mash potatoes with gravy from scratch and cream coleslaw with just enough sweetness. The meal was so large I ended up bringing half of my chicken home. Husband had the pork tenderloin. It was double the size of most tenderloins in most restaurants. The condiments, Red Gold has been around from the 1940's, and family owned. Information on this U.S. business is some of the portion used from purchasing Red Gold products is given to support the hungry, disaster relief and the U.S. military. The restaurant looks like it use to be a bar with a pool table at one time. There is still the divider on the bar a section for the waitresses, large mirror behind the bar on the wall, the ceiling and the old beer light towards the back lead me to believe this. We were looking for a nice looking atmosphere restaurant. We were looking for a place with good food. The staff was friendly, prices were very reasonable. These days you can't find a restaurant with great, large down home cooking for two plus drinks for under$35. We will be back, maybe for the walleye special on Wednesday.

    We stumbled across this place when looking for dessert options in Joplin. We did see one review…read moreprior to stopping by that made us wonder if the other reviews were up to date. Unfortunately, we found that the latest review was accurate, the others are not. It appears they renamed this place "Caroline's", possibly. There were not 30+ flavors of ice cream, and the few they did have sadly appeared freezer burned. The coffee set up looked nothing like earlier photos with tons of flavor options. Half the place is a small boutique? The employee was kind.

Instead of candy and a large selection of ice cream, they had boutiques goods, zero candy, and only 8 flavors of ice cream. The ice cream tasted freezer burned. Our children were thirsty (it's almost 90 degrees out) and wanted cups of water to go along with their ice cream but they had no cups. We had to leave and go to a fast food restaurant to get them some water. Before we could leave, a worker rudely accused our five year old of putting his mouth on a notepad that was for sale. We were all watching him and multiple adults never saw him put the notepad anywhere near his mouth. All in all, a very disappointing experience. If you want a sweet treat, go somewhere else.
