This place is absolutely wonderful! Great food and great service. The cinnamon roll is insanely good!

I eat here 4 or 5 times a month. Great plate lunch specials. Great staff. Love the chicken and dumplings.

A small family owned business that has been in business forever and is located right down town. One of the few hold outs that give people a reason to spend money down town. Their breakfast crowd is alway an interesting mix of local workers and business owners who are usually happy to have a conversation, and the staff are easy and worthwhile to get to know. I only go there for breakfast, so consider this a breakfast only review. read more

Been here a couple of times for breakfast while visiting family in the area. Adorable hometown diner, southern hospitality, it's like your aunties are making you a meal and pouring your coffee. You know it's good if you see the locals here. read more

It's very close to home very good local cooking. Very cozy and for sure a belly filler.

Very good home cooking kind of place I had the breaded pork cutlet smothered in cream gravy. It was very good. read more

OMG! Myrtle's Place is a hole in the wall kind of place; according to the locals. The place itself has been in existence since 1936 but the current owner has been there over 40 years and she is a jewel. I would go as far as to say her, Natalie ( who was our server) and the rest of the staff are just as friendly and welcoming as Debbie. We came here as suggested by a family member and enjoyed our meals. The fried pork with eggs served with fluffy biscuit and white gravy was delicious and the liver and onions meal was good just would have enjoyed more onions with the liver. Overall, it was a generous amount of food and will be back when in the area. Enjoy! :) read more

Went there to eat lunch today. Ordered the vegetable beef soup and a grilled cheese, low and behold, there was a cockroach in my soup! I showed the manager and we didn't pay for anything! WON'T EVER BE BACK!! DISGUSTING COULDN'T RATE ZERO STARS!!! read more

Food was really good. Flavor was spot on and the BBQ Sauce was really nice. The baked beans were superior and came with chunks of smoked meats. BBQ has become expensive and this plate weighs out every portion of the meats. read more

Breakfast is awesome! This place looks and tastes like your Grandma's kitchen (unless your Grandma doesn't know how to cook). Parking close to the building is limited but plentiful overall read more

The food and service was excellent. The ladies that work here are super friendly make you feel like you are their best friends. The food was delicious. They make homemade pies which looked amazing. Very clean place as well. I would definitely recommend anyone stopping here. read more

We are traveling through the area and happened on Myrtle's Place for lunch. We've traveled through 42 states and my husband says he had the best country fried steak he's ever had. We came back for the food, yes, but we also came back for the excellent service. Stephanie, best waitress ever, was our server but trust me, the whole crew is excellent and provides a show to entertain you while you eat. read more

Love this dinner and they have the greatest staff there. I love the all meat omelette and waffles in the morning. My husband always goes for the Boss Hog breakfast. You won't leave hungry I promise. They have the best pies in town!!!! read more

Great country breakfast at a small town price! Very friendly service. I wish they had some Black Rifle Coffee (their coffee was a titch on the burnt side). Awesome breakfast hours M-F 5am-3pm and 5-2:30 Saturday, closed Sundays. Loved their breakfast sausage patties, crumbly, small, and flavorful. read more

A tasty place to get a bit to eat I downtown poplar Bluff. The service is always friendly.

My wife and I were traveling from Tennessee to her parents in Berryville Arkansas. We try to look up places to eat while traveling and found this gem. We both had cheeseburgers and fries which were very good. The service was very good and it was good to see locals enjoying this place. read more

Reliably good food and generous portions. Friendly service. Local color in the best way.

Excellent fried chicken, fried green tomatoes and baked beans. The service was great too.

Another great find just around corner from latte stop. Old and partially refurbished. Looks like been here long time. Got a waffle, burned potatoes and jalapeños, 2 eggs medium. and she say sausage is best meat choice. Looks like where the local geezer crowd comes too. Wow good chow here. read more

The classic mom & pop's place. Breakfast was delicious and the bacon is to die for. It has a nice comfy home feeling. Great service and food! read more

The food here is just wonderful! Delicous! They sometimes have gluten-free bread and I am so disappointed when they don't but I still love this restaurant. They use really good quality ingredients. Be prepared for slow service. They know most of their clients and so they chat. But then, they will chat with you too - it's like going to lunch with Aunt Bee in Mayberry! Know it before you go and take a book. It is worth the wait if you have to wait.. Food is just excellent and they have the BEST sweet potato fries in the entire world! read more

Just GO THERE. I could write a long review. But just GO THERE. Awesome burger and fries. Amazing raisin pie in a cinnamon roll shell. So just GO THERE. WE BOTH ATE FOR $16 plus tip so do yourself a favor and just GO THERE FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD! read more

Myrtle's Place - Raisin on the left. Blueberry on the right. GO THERE! - Barbeque Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

Stopped here on the way through Poplar Bluff based on other reviews. Hubs and I both got the hashbrown scramble and pancakes. Pancakes were a great vanilla flavor, fluffy, and as big as your head. Hashbrown scramble was good too, with tomatoes, peppers, and cheese. Coffee was good and refills kept coming. Cream served in a cold metal creamer. Definitely a local spot, as many who were there seemed like regulars. You do get a choice of smoking or nonsmoking, we sat in nonsmoking and I couldn't smell any smoke. Bathroom was clean. Worth the stop! read more

This place has the friendliest staff, good food, great prices, and warm environment. I visit once a week for brunch. No other place in the area compares. read more

The primary reason this place gets one star: They allow smoking in half of the restaurant!! Perhaps I'm spoiled by our smoke-free Iowa restaurants, but come on... The food itself here is fine, especially for the price. It's simple and works well for groups. The team was attentive and ready with refills, accommodating of special requests, etc., as needed. Still, the smoking is a real turnoff and means I won't be back. read more

I love this place.they have smoking and non smoking rooms. Every meal i have gotten there was amazing.im from memphis and love my bbq so this place does not disappointe. read more

While visiting my best friend for another friend's wedding I was brought here. This is the cutest, best food I've had in a long time. Their breakfast burrito was made with such love you could taste it. 10/10 will be coming back here when I come down for another visit!!!! read more

We found this Restuarant on Yelp, and the reviews were spot on. Real home style meals at realistic prices. The waitress was very nice, and also attentive to our needs. There was a mix up with my order but it was resolved quickly. The food was basic, and flavorful. My main problem was the cigarette smell. They have a separate smoking section, but the smell filled most of the building. read more

Absolutely delicious home cooking! I first heard about Myrtle's Place a decade ago when I moved to Missouri and it remains a favorite breakfast spot! The staff is always friendly and the food is always hot and fresh. They are also a great place to go when you get that unshakeable burger crave! read more

Absolute best breakfast I've ever had, and the service is amazing. Id never heard of it before my friend told me about it, and i was a bit apprehensive at first bc it doesn't look like much, but I promise its worth the money. read more

You have got to be kidding me I love hole in the wall diners but sometimes they are just horrible. The pancakes are hard and dry The extras are put on the pancakes not in the batter. After they messed up the order they spent a half hour correcting the ticket. To be fare, they did't screw up the egg. read more

Went here for breakfast and it was great the service was fantastic and polite I'll be sure to make it again

My family LOVES this place. It's a regular breakfast stop for us, early or late The staff is always wonderful and my little girls LOVE the playroom in the back!! read more

I came here for the first time and there food is great! Also it didn't take long at all to get our food. Great service. They are very nice and friendly, they check up on you to see if your okay. The place has great vibes and it feels like home. Also it is very cheap read more

Small mom and pop operation. We always hit this place when we're in Poplar Bluff. We usually try to play our visit to Poplar Bluff to fall on Tuesdays. Thats when they serve chicken n dumplins. Only place I've had better dumplins than Myrtles was from my familys hands. Cracker Barrel makes an 'ok' emergency dumplins. Myrtles is better though. Think Cracker Barrel type food but without the hype or decor. Also, imagine a fraction of the price. Yup... expect to pay like $5-6 for a blue plate special. Drawback is that they're not open very late. They close sometime in the afternoon. I will warn you. Its very much a locals type of place. They might look at you kinda odd being a newcomer, but be patient with them. They'll feed ya good! read more

Just had an outstanding lunch. I had BBQ sandwich with onion rings. Husband had Tuesday special of chicken and dressing with 2 sides. Bill was $12.15. Place was crowded but we were seated right away. read more

We stopped at Myrtle's for a quick lunch a few weeks ago after reading the good reviews on Yelp. It was a complete disappointment. I ordered their lunch special which was a grill chicken with bacon strips. My husband ordered fried chicken. Both tasted like pre-cooked frozen TV dinners. The restaurant promotes itself as home cooking, when our experience was just the opposite. The only good thing was the service, friendly staff. read more

You haven't had breakfast until it's a breakfast at Myrtles. 2 eggs sunny side, sausage, white toast and small OJ. I hope they still have some great pies! read more
