My family knew Freddy Clark and was always impressed with his empathy and kind nature…read more Unfortunately, recently we have had to work with Tina and she was the least empathetic person in her field of work or otherwise that I have ever encountered. For my grandfather's funeral my family gave her original photographs to be used for a slideshow. After the funeral she tried to tell us that we could not have our photographs back until the bill was paid in full. Very recently we came back because my grandmother had prepaid for her services but we decided to go elsewhere for the memorial service. Tina, without any mention of a "sorry for your loss" launched right into the bill adding up each charge we would be required to pay by tallying it up on a scrap piece of paper as she rattled off each service provided. She had zero interest in us after she realized that we would not be paying for a service or viewing. I can understand being in the difficult position of discussing financials during such a sensitive time, but she lacks the sensitivity part of the job and comes across as only looking for ways to rack up the charges. We will be paying nearly $1000 just to hand them an urn so that they can put the ashes in a required urn vault. Our charges were in the thousands. In fact, her final cost came out to be conveniently close to the amount of the insurance policy she asked to see. When I asked her for an itemized bill it was then that she produced a folder of services with checkmarks by all of the items we were being charged for. I could not help but wonder if this was related to her sense of superiority and tendency to look down upon us for not being big spenders or if she is just that unprofessional. I hope she reads this and learns a few things about how she is perceived by others...if she even cares. We won't be returning for any services at Clarks...we shall go elsewhere.

Shame on the manager. Freddy Clark would stand by a signed contract instead of smugly nickle and…read morediming a client. My grandmother had a prearranged funeral contract but when her daughter came to pick up her ashes, Tina presented her with additional charges without the pre purchased urn. She was unhelpful, and does a disservice to the funeral home started by Freddy Clark.

But when we got there, we were going back and forth about getting one large table for everyone, or a smaller table, and let the rest of the folks fend for their own table when they got there. The guy at the front knew our dilemma and said that our server could take our orders right away, and get the ordering process going, so we picked the bigger table. Well, that worked out horribly. We don't know if he didn't pass it on to our server or if she just didn't care, but everything took forever. ALL of our food came out at the same time, and then we were asking for our checks because we had somewhere we needed to be, it was like she downshifted into non-movement. Ruined a good meal.

I was warned that it would be bubbling hot because they cook it in the pizza oven, it wasn't a lie! I love my food hot! I even had to blow on it to cool it down. It wasn't perfection...only thing that would have been better is to have some potatoes in it, but it still was delicious. There was a good amount of chicken too, I'm stuffed and couldn't eat it all...I tried! Hubby had the Soy Glazed Salmon. It came with rice and broccoli. He really enjoyed it. It came highly recommended by Boston, our server. Great recommendation! Boston kept our drinks full and was very attentive. We will ask for his section when we are back in town.

Not only was the food great but I just love the setting of this place. There is a small film area, lots of board games to have a cute board game night and even a backyard with live music!! As for food, I got the truffled grapes and a bahn mi with a side salad. All items were tasty and I felt very healthy after that meal!! The sauces/dressings they use are so tasty and really elevate the sandwich/salad. I wish they added a little more honestly! My only issues with this restaurant are they run out of some sides very quickly. My friends and I went at peak dinner time (5/6pm) and they didn't have a lot of sides left! I was really looking forward to trying the fries but I guess that means I just have to go back again! My other comment is the price. I spent roughly $12 for the sandwich and $6 for the grapes. As good as they were, the portion size for the price was a little bit unequal. I was still hungry after :( However, I do still highly recommend this place and would definitely want to go back (especially when they got a movie play!)

My wife had the avocado toast. She said it was really good. Service was great and it's a neat atmosphere. It was a little loud because it's so busy. So if you want quiet, this isn't your place. My only complaint other than the over cooked eggs is the price. First, the menu prices are not updated. My meal said it was $19.00. In reality, it was $22.00. So it's pricy. Not really worth it for an every week place to eat in my opinion. I will probably only eat here on special occasions in the future. We spent just under $50.00 without tip. We had water to drink and I had a coffee. There are plenty of other places in Joplin with food priced more reasonably and that is just as good. It's definitely worth trying, just know it's pricy.
