We had a friend in from out of town and chose to come to Mythos! We were not disappointed. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We started with wine and calamari. Then between the 3 of us we had sea bass, steak and chicken- everything was great and cooked perfectly. The bread and oil was a great touch, as well. read more

When I crave authentic Greek, I seek it out anywhere. This time, I found it in Joplin, MO and it was well worth the detour off the interstate! Went for lunch and did the usual...some form of a sampler + moussaka. Mythos' sampler is one for the ages...The Tour of Mythos will give you everything you could think of, and it's all good. The moussaka also satisfied my craving. And while it was lunch, the servings were huge! Wish we lived closer! read more

Great place. Great service and awesome food. Eli was a fantastic server. Knew the menu and good recommendations read more

Mythos - Tonight's special. Monk fish. Very good! Meaty but light. Nicely done. - Greek Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

This restaurant exceeded my expectations! We had a party of 25 and booked a reservation on Saturday for that night and they accommodated us exceptionally well. The wait staff was attentive and on point, even with our somewhat rowdy bunch. When I first booked the restaurant I was a little worried because my boss and his friends are used to 5 Star accommodations wherever they go. This restaurant and it's staff DID NOT let us down. They brought their A game! The food was PHENOMENAL and the atmosphere, table settings and presentation were FABULOUS!! We had just about every appetizer they had to offer (which were all terrific, you can't go wrong with any of them) and every main dish got nothing but praise. Thank you to the Mythos staff for accommodating such a large group, y'all did a fantastic job!! read more

Nancy and I have dined at Mythos many times in the past two years. Always fantastic food, great service, and a very friendly dining experience. We take all our out of town guests there. Best experience anywhere in the area. I recommend it highly! read more

My family came in for dinner last night, ordered spicy feta dip (incredible) I had the grilled gyros (also incredible) my wife and son had the KC Strip Steak ( terrible). both steaks very grisly and fatty. After reviewing the bill, a 4 dollar up charge for fries found that is not shown on the bill and was apparently "a glitch in their system" using the manager's own words. Honestly, just simple math uncovered the billing error. My advise, don't order KC Strip Steak and check your bill. Probably not the only billing glitch and being from KC, I know exactly what a KC Strip Steak is supposed to be, lean and thin. read more

If you are worried about cleanliness then this is the place to go. They are the cleanest restaurant I have been in. The food is delicious and the staff are superb!!!! read more

We stopped in for lunch on our way home from Branson, MO. We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful atmosphere and lunch menu selection. We both had the gyro with a Greek salad. The gyro was wonderful! The Greek salad while it was fresh, the dressing was not traditional rather than a creamy type dressing. Also the salad was served in the smallest bowl almost like a cup of soup. Will we return? Most likely read more

Business traveler stopped in for lunch, nice atmosphere, support friendly staff, good food. Glad I stopped. read more

Mythos - Lunch Greek salad. Delicious. - Greek Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

Maybe the best restaurant I've ever been to. Beautifully decorated, atmosphere is great, and the food is even better. I visited this place over a month ago and cannot wait to go back, I live in St Louis and would make trip to Joplin just to eat here again. I tell everyone I know in the area to try it at least once. read more

We normally go here for lunch and the prices are surprisingly great. We always get the spicy feta dip - it's so good. By the time we finish the dip and the Greek side salad (the dressing is surprisingly good), I can't even eat any of whatever entree I get because it's so filling. It literally lasts me three meals. We like the chicken portabella penne and the chicken parmesan (it's not good reheated though and it's HUGE). The lasagna has a ton of veggies and is kind of like a ratatouille with some pasta. Also ginormous. I have gotten the Tour of Mythos and I'm not a big fan of their Greek food but their other stuff is really great. Service is always great, take out is also great! read more

My husband and I enjoy eating here for date nights. He'd previously gotten the KC strip, but shelled out a little more for the fillet our last visit and is already looking forward to ordering it again. I always get the crab encrusted salmon, it's delicious. The risotto with that is amazing. So flavorful. We split the tiramisu for dessert, but have also gotten the chocolate lava cake before. Both are yummy. The food here is great, the presentation is nice. We've always had pleasant experiences with staff. The atmosphere is relaxing, lights a little dimmed but we like it. read more

See all

What a great evening we enjoyed at Mythos! First thing, I ordered a beer and it was brought to me in the most wonderful icy glass. Perfection! Second, the appetizers were delicious. Our group ordered the sampler plate and it couldn't have been better. The salads were crisp and tasty. The main course was to die for. Mythos was very clean and the hostess was Very professional. Our wait staff was outstanding. The ambiance of the place felt like I was in a big city. Thank you for a great night. The restaurant scene in Joplin is really hitting stride and Mythos is a major reason why. We will most definitely be back. Thank you!1 read more

Absolutely great place to eat. Food is food, plentiful and hot. Service is beyond reproach. My only negative comment is they stopped serving kabobs and refuse to give me the pro recipe. read more

I had the best experience with Mythos and highly recommend them for both their food and atmosphere. We were visiting from out of town for a wedding and Mythos was recommended to me by our hotel for a little after-wedding dinner. We had a private room for our party of 16 and they worked with me to make a special menu for our dinner party. The food was spectacular. Great location for a special date night or special event and everyone was so helpful and easy to work with. Our guests couldn't decide which was better, the prime rib, Chilean sea bass, or the honey lime chicken. read more

The deserts here are the best and it's definitely authentic Greek which is hard to find. I personally prefer m&m bistro taziki sauce tho but this place is overall much nicer(which comes at a price but it's worth it) read more

If you enjoy steak, seafood, Greek and Mediterranean food, you must try Mythos! My wife and I eat there often. I start with the tomato soup and usually The Tour of Mythos. They have amazing salads, sea bass, steak, lamb ect. I usually have a Nero or two to drink. Ask to be seated in Damon's section. He is the best server in town. Great for business meetings...lunch or dinner. read more

The entire crew catered our wedding and let me tell you it was a large, drinking crowd. The food was the best anyone said they had ever had at a wedding and they kept everyone's whistles wet all night. George is the best, simply. There isn't anyone who can do what he does professionally. We also often eat there during lunch and dinner, never leave disappointed or hungry. read more

I try to dine at Mythos every time I visit daughter and family. The food is excellent: from the lamb chops, walnut chicken, tilapia, sea bass or gyros. The prices are higher than other restaurants but worth every dollar spent . The service is outstanding. Ask for Damon: you won't want any other waiter! read more

I have never had Greek food so i can't compare this to much, but the food was very good and extremely fresh. Their greek salad is the best i have had and had fresh feta cheese. I had the garden lasagna which had a large variety of vegetables and i would definitely recommend if you have not had a meatless lasagna before. The atmosphere is quite posh with instrumental music playing and it being fairly quiet. Good place to get a hearty lunch. read more

Came by this place a year ago and really enjoyed it. Had a salad and a stack of grilled veggies with a fancy name. I came back knowing it was a safe bet for the area and found the menu cut down to half the items or less, omitting all vegetarian friendly items except appetizers, salads and noodles with marinara. Oh boy. I asked the server about it and he told me the fucking special was mostly vegan. It was beef with cheese, some noodles and perhaps a few asparagus stalks. I was like "Are you fucking shitting me?" and he was like "..." as he walked off. We made a clean break with Mythos at that point. They keep two stars because I didn't bother to explain dietary restrictions to a hapless server and it was pretty okay a year ago. Might have got a good meal outta the deal, just not feeling like rolling the dice. If you don't have food allergy problems or aren't that picky there's nothing bad to say about this joint. Maybe overpriced. read more

Definitely the place to eat at Exit 8 on I-44 in Joplin. We were traveling and looking for a good place for lunch and so glad we found Mythos. I had the TOUR, a huge plate of Greek specialties plus a cup of corn jalapeño chowder. It was all great. My husband loved the mousaka and salad. We could not eat all of our meal but he still opted for strawberry shortcake and ate half of it. Truly a very nice lunch as well as incredibly reasonable. read more

Other reviewers neglected to mention: best steaks in town, great wine selection, and great seafood. Service is almost always exceptional. Order the kaseri saganaki (flambeed cheese appetizer) and shout "opa" when the flames leap up. Horiatiki salad is awesome - no lettuce, this Greek salad is based on big, steak-like tomatoes. Need I mention the desserts are exceptional - the falling souffle is delicious. Expensive by Joplin standards, but compared to similar eateries in other cities, Mythos is very reasonably priced. read more

My fiance and I went here for our two year anniversary a couple of days ago and will definitely be back soon. Our appetizer was the seared ahi tuna which was melt in our mouth delicious. We then had the traditional Greek salad which had amazing flavor. My fiance had the horseradish and crab crusted sea bass with a parmesan and asparagus risotto. I had the grilled prawns with black bean and corn ragu. Both of our entries were of high quality and full of incredible tastes and textures. The wait staff and the bartenders rounded out the whole experience quite exceptionally. read more

This place was AMAZING. I've always heard people talk about it but was a little intimidated by the idea of Greek food. This was some of the best food I've ever had. The service is fantastic and the steak will literally melt in your mouth. The flaming cheese is also fantastic. If you're looking for some place a little special, this is great! A little expensive, but the quality of the food reflects it. read more

We stopped here for dinner and had one appetizer between us and split our main course. We had the tour of Mythos which included things like spanakopita, tiropita, gyro meat Dolmades. They have a version for two and a version for four. By itself it was almost enough for a meal. We then split an entrée of Moussaka. It was excellent as well. Service was wonderful and I felt our waiter made our meal even more enjoyable. read more

Excellent food and service was superior. Loved the traditional Greek food!

Excellent service and excellent food. The couple times I've had their food it was stellar. As a few others have posted, this is not a typical 'greek' restaurant. It's european. There are as many french dishes on the menu as greek. Regardless, it's a great place to have a special dinner. read more

One of the best steaks in Joplin, if not the best. Also, their spicy feta dip is awesome! I like to just order the dip and their Greek salad for lunch sometimes and it more than fills me up for a lot less than I would spend somewhere else. read more

Average. The portion size of my meal was huge. It didn't really enjoy my meal. I got the sampler dish.

Best Greek food in Joplin! Nice size servings. Every time I go I know I should split, but my wife and I never seem to agree in the final moments...I think it's because we want every last bite of the helpings they serve. read more

Nice place. Staff was good. Tableside flambé cheese was very popular with our fellow diners. I thought menu was more Greek influenced instead of straight up Greek. My fish was nice, but more spicy than menu led me to believe. Companion's steak was fine, but awkward to cut as it was stacked on a serving of mashed potatoes. read more

Oh Geez.........just ate there again. This place is AWESOME and a great value for the quality of food you receive. I think I'm going back tomorrow. read more

Good, not great. Service was prompt and the atmosphere on the inside was more inviting than the oddity of the exterior. It's true they don't have hummus, and while it's technically not Greek, most people expect it - plus it's a good appetizer option that's easy to do well. I had the gyro and a side salad. Decent, but nothing that would warrant me ordering it again. Other items patrons ordered at lunchtime looked appetizing though. read more

Outstanding! Delicious cuisine, excellent service, prefect ambiance. Culinary trifecta!

This is our go to when we are in Joplin. It has consistently great food and we have always had great service. We are confidant in taking clients here for dinner. We have ordered steaks or Greek food and been happy with everything. read more

We stopped while passing through Joplin. Both dishes were fantastic. Chicken Parmesan and the sample platter. Our waiter was exceptional. Had great suggestions on what we might like to try. He was constantly filling our glasses and checking to see if we needed anything. The food experience was fantastic. Just being able to try foods that we don't normally eat was wonderful. Great experience. And we would go there again. read more

We highly recommend this lovely restaurant.. We are traveling south and relied on Yelp for dinner suggestions. The menu is appealing - with variety, healthful choices and food that is interestingly prepared. The decor is very attractive and our waiter was helpful, friendly and professional. We found it moderately priced. I hope we pass this way again and if we do, we plan to stop in for another meal. Why don't you? read more

I've been here a few times. You're paying for the atmosphere, not the food. I'd give the food a 3 probably, but the price to quality ratio is what drags down my rating. If you want to take a date or business client somewhere that is classy and serves something other than what the chain restaurants offer, then your options are limited. If you have dined or lived in another area, you know that Mythos is nothing special and that residents here are just enamored with the surroundings and novelty. read more

Love this place! So nice inside and the food is delicious. The Greek items are authentic. Get the tour of mythos, salad, and flaming cheese.
