We arrived somewhat early as it was raining and it wasn't completely set up yet, but Cherry and her staff moved quickly to get all ready.

Excellent sauce choices in their OG, Garlic Aioli, AJR (avocado, jalapeño ranch), Sweet BBQ, Mango Habañero, and traditional Ranch sauces along with ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Specialties are Smash Burgers, Chicken wraps, Chicken tenders, and Chicken sandwich. My wife ordered the "Jacked Shroom" burger and ribbon fries. I ordered the "Glaze & Blaze" (glazed doughnut bun, beef, bacon, cheese, & sweet BBQ sauce). A marshmallow cream w/ the sweet potatoes added another notch of sweet Vs salty/savory flavors. The owner/chef served us today as they are still ramping up towards a larger crowd as word spreads on this new version of BMK! A nice vase w/ flowers on the dining tables added to the atmosphere.

I love this place. Normally I get the chicken tenders. They are the best. You can't go wrong with…read morethem. However, this time I decided to get a burger. It was really good. 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.

They fry your hamburgers on a flat surface grill right in front of you!! The menu is simple but to the point. The burgers are small, but DELICIOUS!!! You have options to order a single, double, or a triple! There's also a special burgers with a twist! For example, the burgers adding bacon or ham. They also sell hot ham and cheese! Oh! They have grilled cheese sandwiches as well! A nice comfort sandwich! Some of their burger names are: Pig "N" Bull, Sow "N" Cow, or the Farm! No french fries! They do sell chips and sodas. Overall, a FANTASTIC experience! The ladies cooking the burgers as we waited chatted with us. They were very friendly and made us laugh! While this place is small, it is well worth the trip! There's a picnic table outside. Street parking. I see why it's a local favorite!!

Yelp brought me here. We would be passing through Joplin on our way back to MN. The staff was…read morereally nice. The owner is a micromanager, constantly asking the staff if they checked on things. I ordered 1/2 portion of spaghetti red, their specialty. This is chili with no beans on top of spaghetti. The chili was very basic and actually bland. I added parmesan cheese and hot sauce even. The place is 102 years old, real retro like and is on the second set of owners. People seem to like it as there were takeout orders. I can totally recreate this at home and add my own spices for more depth and flavor. Review 19 in 2025.

I didn't try the hot sauce. Most meals are just the burritos or tacos. You have to order the rice and beans separate. I like this because I would rather eat several of those yummy tacos. They started out as a food truck. This was our first time to have this and we are hooked. We were told they will have a second location in Webb city mo. They have a drive thru. They have a food challenge. 6 pound burrito in 10 min. So far no one had been able to finish it. Their menu is small but I feel you should keep it small and focus on quality and that's what they are doing. They were really busy but we had excellent service. People will complain about their small menu, but you can go else where. You won't find meat this delicious! Love small family owned businesses!! Great job!
