Solid staff, very friendly in greeting everyone who walked through the door. I introduced my kids to WH and they loved it. I had the hash all the way and my kids had waffles. read more

Stopped and had breakfast, and had a very short time frame to get it in. I had a hot plate of scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns, bacon and toast that I wish I could have again in the morning, but I'm driving ok to St. Louis and won't be near here. The staff were on the ball, attentive and personable. The whole place was spotless. Easy access into parking lot. Good parking. The only negative I even have is for the manager. He pulled the hostess to the side and got on to her a little harshly for opening both doors for guest versus just one. I overheard him and I'm sure other customers did. I thought he was a jerk. If you're going to discipline and employee take them to a private area, and honestly, she was doing a damn good job if you ask me. read more

Ahhh...the Waffle House. How I love to see you on a road trip. This one is as comfy as all the Waffle Houses you know. Hash browns - covered, smothered, diced, etc etc etc. Simple tasty BLTs and crispy thin waffles. I am not a Belgian Waffle fan. So these make me happy. It's a small Waffle House but the service as basic and fast. It's just a couple blocks off the Interstate and easy on and off and you can grab some gas at this exit when you stop on your trip. Or of course on your way home from being out in Joplin it's the perfect spot for a cup of coffee and something to soak up the fun. read more

The man who waited on us was very friendly from the moment we stepped in the door. We came here because it was next to the hotel and we wanted to get on the road soon. Also it is SMOKE FREE which many waffle houses are not. The place was very clean. Food came out quick and was hot. Ken, was very attentive without being overly so. A bit of welcome will make or break a place and that's what made this visit a good one. Waffle House, I hope you appreciate this guy! read more

Our server Janee was AMAZING! She was so sweet and truly made my day. She made us feel very welcomed and had fantastic customer service. I will definitely be coming back to see her!!! Please give her the recognition deserves! read more

We look forward to eating at this Waffle House when travelling to Chicago. It's halfway between where we live and Chicago. It's cleaner than most Waffle Houses and the wait staff is super friendly. I've probably eaten at this particular one more than any other because of it's location. Close to the highway, close to the gas station and close to the major hotels. read more

Was waiting on by Anna. Super awesome service! So friendly and welcoming. First time eating here. I'm only here a few days, visiting from Vancouver, Washington. Coming here for breakfast again for sure. read more

I haven't been in a while, but the place has a reputation for being dirty and cheap. If you don't mind taking a shower after you eat, this is the place for you. read more

Customer service was terrible, food in my beverage, hair in my eggs, and never received my blueberry waffle after waiting 15min. When told I was receiving a discount on my order, said the discount was for the food they never charged me before even the complaints. So no discount was ever given for the horrific service! read more

$5 for a burger a fries. It looks & feels like a 1960s diner. Don't expect any different. Staff is friendly & keep your coffee cup full. :)

I stopped here on my drive east for breakfast one morning and was pleased with my meal. The place is fairly small but wasn't busy when we visited around 10 AM. I got a standard breakfast that included eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns, and two waffles with a coffee. Everything tasted fine and our servers were friendly enough though maybe a little slow on the coffee refills. read more

It's bad for you yeah. The hash browns are the ticket here. I just love it here. The employees are very nice too.

I've been to about 40 different Waffle Houses across america, and I must say this waffle house is the best one so far, excellent service, restaurant is quite clean, and this one doesn't really have that Waffle House smell. lol read more

This is the star of the Waffle House empire! Jodi and crew are the best! Always quick and consistent and great conversation! Nothing better!

Dirty, cheap, and nasty. The perfect 3am stop after a night on the town. Love it. Great food and great staff.

Where ya gonna find ten gallon hats and bikers all together under one roof? At Waffle House in Joplin Missouri is where! This was an interesting dining experience for me. The place is quite small but it's set up so the wait staff serves you from behind the counter. Brilliant! Was there on a Sunday morning so had a slight wait but there are a row of chairs opposite the counter to hang out while waiting. Was seated within maybe 5 minutes or so... Very good service, breakfast was great, friendly waitress who kept the coffee coming. Couldn't ask for more! Only one downside for me. And a dealbreaker... The whole small establishment is one big "smoking" section. Maybe I'm just a spoiled New Yorker but I had the crazy idea that smoking in restaurants was a thing of the past. If I had known beforehand I would have saved myself from the "secondhand" smoke!! Sorry Waffle House... I gotta pass next time I visit. That's really too bad because I liked it otherwise. RATING: *4 stars minus 1 for the smoking* read more

Stopped to have breakfast at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning. Must have been shift change. All employees at the counter so no where to sit but at a booth. It took 10 minutes and some asking before anyone came over. Total attitude like I was bothering them stopping in to have breakfast. The hen house continued to rock on as I ate. The late shift did not leave making phone calls hanging out at the counter drinking coffee talking about their men ETC. Won't be back to this to busy chatting to help anyone Waffle House! read more

The prices are decent for most items. The staff is always friendly. The smoking kills it for me though. I don't think they should allow smoking inside any restaurant. If I'm trying to eat breakfast i don't want to feel like I've just taken a bite out of a ashtray. read more

I don't expect white glove 5 star service at Waffle House. I'm smarter than that, and have heard stories. But how hard is it to get 2 orders correct when you don't have 3 customers in the place. If I order 2 eggs, over medium, bacon, wheat toast, and grits on the plate next to the eggs, not in a bowl; I believe that is a simple order. And the other order was a bacon cheeseburger on white toast, no onions because of a food allergy, hasbrowns, and extra pickles, I would say that is also a fairly easy order. When the plates arrived, hashbrowns next to my eggs, no grits, a pile of pickles next to the bacon cheeseburger, no hashbrowns. The hamburger and toast were burnt, and my food was luke warm. When we started to inform the cook that both plates were wrong, he told us to not get upset. He placed a luke warm bowl of grits on the table, while I passed my hashbrowns over to the other plate. When we asked the other grill cook for the manager, he stated was a manager trainee. He called the General Manager at home to explain our complaint. He asked for a phone number and name so that the manager could speak to me tomorrow. read more

Great, helpful and friendly staff. Very accommodating and the food was just what my picky dog needed (just chicken, eggs and potatoes) to end her hunger strike on a long road trip. Waffle House is always an on-the-road staple that you can count on. read more

The food here is so good!! The waffles with strawberries taste like heaven!! The service is really good and the prices are just as good. It has a super calm and casual feel to it. This place is great for a quick bite and coffee or a sit down meal with family and friends. I'll be coming back in the morning for breakfast. read more

Food and staff are good, pretty much they are all the same. *But*, for visitors to Missouri, smoking in the restaurants is OK. Because the restaurant seats 50, they are exempt from smoking sections. So, if you don't like being near smokers, skip this location. read more
