Great Breakfast Spot!…read more I'll start by admitting--I'm not usually a breakfast person. I like it fine, but I'd often rather wait until lunch to start eating for the day. We stopped here on our way back to Tulsa from Branson, and I'm so glad we did! My son had the pancake platter, which he absolutely loved. But the real star? The breakfast sliders. Oh my goodness--these are the BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The bread is perfect--fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. I chose the sausage (bacon and ham are also options), and it was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the cheese paired beautifully. You get two sliders per plate and can choose your side bread item--I went with the house potatoes, which were seasoned perfectly and had the same delightful fluffy-yet-crispy texture as the bread. I could only eat one slider myself and brought the other home for my husband--he texted me the next morning saying it was just as amazing. Our waitress (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) was so kind and welcoming. The place is small and charmingly decorated, adding to the cozy vibe. All in all, we had the best breakfast. This is definitely a must-stop and a place I'll recommend to anyone traveling this way. Highly recommend!

This is the most darling coffee shop. It's everything you'd hope it would be…read more It was our first time here and we were welcomed in by a friendly hello. You can tell they have a lot of regulars. As we stood deciding, a gentleman was greeted by his name and asked if he was having his usual. I love that! I normally order Americanos on my first visit to a coffee shop, but I got a mocha this time and it did not disappoint. Perfectly balanced. We also got a cinnamon roll and my wife and I both loved it. It was tender and flavorful... we'll probably order another one while we're in town. Also, the atmosphere of this place is so friendly and warm. You can tell that they all care. The place is very cozy and eclectic and cute. Every direction your head turns, there's something neat to discover. I can tell you right now, if we lived here, we would certainly be regulars! Great job, KeenBean!

This breakfast joint is the best!! They cover breakfast from hash, Biscuits and GRAVY to sugar…read moreoverloaded treats, not just donuts!   They are so fresh and delicious, loved every single bite!  The gravy is not from a mix at all. 100% home-cooked. The hash includes delightful eggs,  incredible potatoes, home cooked sausage, topped off with cheese!!!! The Donish's taste unbelievable.  This is something you have to experiences to understand.   The Donish creation needs to be on the travel  channel or food network!  It's kinda like if a donut, funal cake, and Danish all had and orgy. This breakfast joint doesn't look like much from the outside. But don't judge a book by it's cover!!!! It's a stop worth the 5 minute drive from the highway.  Infact between the local amazing things to do and this breakfast lovin place they have huge potential to make a big mark in the road triping world. This is a must stop place, a little of something for every belly!!!! *Exellent service too boot, I can only recommend!! Coming from Dallas, Texas these prices outstanding bargains!

Bud's is the best doughnut shop for many, many miles. Forget your chains like Krispy Kreme and…read moreother one-off doughnut shops in larger metro areas like Joplin and Springfield. Bud's has all the best doughnuts: yeast, old-fashioned, cake, frosted, longjohns, twists. Every glaze is hand dipped. Every doughnut is hand made and fried to perfection. You have to get them early, though. Bud's opens around 5:30am and he's rarely there past 9:00am. That is a solid testament to how good and how popular these local pastries are. If you're new, try the plain old-fashioned or the maple glazed yeast doughnut. Once you do, you'll be back to try the rest.

We each had one of the battle rattle coffees and mine did the trick. Woke up to a toddler throwing up after traveling solo with him for days, and the coffee helped me survive my insanely exhausting day lol. Ours had a marshmallow cold foam top and whatever the rest of the flavoring was, was very sweet, BUT not overboard where it gave me a headache or anything. The sizes here are larger than most coffee shops I frequent, so pay attention to that when ordering because the large is like a giant gas station fountain drink large haha.

Located in T/A store building where Cafe once was. This Subway open from 10 to 10 7 days a week…read moreit's like any other Subway for the most part. In Joplin starting but yesterday I also noticed that when I was in a franchise to Petro that masks were not worn and here is the same thing from the employees and the travel store to the subway employees. you find that gloves are as like preparing food. one other thing I noticed so they do wear gloves of course prepare the food the one they get done they don't wash their hands before they put another pair of gloves on I see this happened a lot of places...finish ringing up a sale finish doing something and you walk right back and put on a fresh pair of gloves then you take them off to ring up the sale but then you put the gloves on but don't wash your hands that's one thing I noticed herestood out but this isn't the first place that I've seen that before. I was surprised when I first came in and noticed that there is social distancing practice for the most part tables spaced out get masks are not enforced. they're fountain machine they were having trouble ordering drinks half of the product was out so I opted to go next door and get a Powerade sugar-free. footlong turkey sub the ingredients seem to be fairly fresh for the most part food tasted good. it's pretty much a standard nothing fancy across the board no regional favorites or anything like that at this time. but I'm starting to get used to seeing many people not following the CDC rules but apparently the Missouri governor doesn't wear one and they're certain counties where I guess they don't really enforce it and this apparently down here by Mount Vernon is definitely one. I know St Louis and Kansas City definitely do. other than that just to pretty much average Subway nothing really stood out whatsoever other than the fact that don't ask for being warned and half of the fountain drinks were gone. including diet Coke but they had bottles for sale but I didn't feel like paying twice the amount as the store.

Service: Good. Food: Adequate. Bathroom: Poor…read more The counter person was very friendly and helpful (which is getting more uncommon at McDonalds). We got made to order cheeseburgers and unfortunately the buns were dry and didn't taste fresh. The cheeseburgers also didn't seem as warm as they normally do. The fries were tasty as always, but were not hot and crispy (they were a bit on the soggy side). The women's bathroom was the messiest McDonalds bathroom my wife has ever seen, including the McDonald's we've visited outside the U.S. The garbage can was overflowing with disgusting stuff, there was toilet paper on the ground, etc. Ok if it's the one on your route but not one worth coming back to.

It is bad. Cold fries, or they were put back in the fryer and get so crispy and hard you can't eat them. I love a fish sandwich! However! They have reduced the size of their fish patties! Then they put them on large cold buns. The patty covers ABOUT half of the cold bun! This store is owned/run by Ryan Blumenstock. As well as stores in Republic, Springfield, Bolivar and Willard. I have eaten at the Republic store as well as the store on Battlefield in Springfield. Those stores are clean! And, your food comes out good as it should be. I strongly suggest that Ryan visit the Mount Vernon store! Unannounced! So he can get a good idea of what overpriced food he is serving his customers!
