We stumbled across this place when looking for dessert options in Joplin. We did see one review…read moreprior to stopping by that made us wonder if the other reviews were up to date. Unfortunately, we found that the latest review was accurate, the others are not. It appears they renamed this place "Caroline's", possibly. There were not 30+ flavors of ice cream, and the few they did have sadly appeared freezer burned. The coffee set up looked nothing like earlier photos with tons of flavor options. Half the place is a small boutique? The employee was kind.

First off, I'm ashamed to say I've lived in joplin as long as Supertam has been in existence and…read morenever tried it. Owner super friendly (yes pun intended) and has all kinds of history about the place. There is tons of memorabilia in a cozy shop. There are a few seats inside and a picnic table outside. It looks like they are working on converting an old train car into more seating as well. The ice cream is so rich and creamy. We tried This $&@! Just got serious, Superman, zanzibar chocolate, and Blackberry lemon bar. We loved every one of them, and the waffle come is definitely worth the extra dollar! They are made fresh and in-house! Then, to top it off, they have a cease and desist letter from DC hanging above the toilet! To make it big enough to get noticed by DC is awesome, even if it's not a congrats letter! We will not be strangers to this place!

For some reason they've decided they can't do a large frozen yogurt in a cake cone, which is a bummer. I've ordered it that way for years with no issues. The food is usually not super hot. Luckily it's still good lukewarm! This time, I shared a 6 piece chicken strip meal with two friends. It was $15 with tax and filled us up nicely before our long drive home. That meal is on the expensive side for Braun's but it was great to share! Their prices in general are very reasonable, especially compared to national fast food chains. The service is usually pretty good! They're always busy but the cashiers are never rude. They take the time to say hello and goodbye, which I always appreciate. I also love the ambience in here. It feels so old school small town in a way that's hard to explain. The colors and furniture isn't old but it looks like it's from the 90s. I love it so much. Their store section is also massive! They sell way more than they used to. Fresh meat, dairy, produce, snacks, pantry staples, sweets, and of course TONS of frozen treats! Ice cream, frozen yogurt, low fat, sherbet, etc. You name it and it's here! It's definitely worth the visit. If I were passing Joplin, I would drive into the city to get Braum's before I stopped at a McDonald's on the highway. Try it out!

Wow. Amazing fish and chips. Moved to SE Kansas in 2021 and have been on a quest for fish and…read morechips. Theres zippo here in Pittsburg. No such thing as fresh cod hand dipped. Same old frozen fried. And sorry, not a catfish fan. And even that is frozen fried. Nothing beats hand dipped and fried cod fish. Tropicana in Joplin puts out a delicious plate of fish and chips and has been my go to place. Read a review of Culvers fish and chips. Im here to tell you, Culvers puts out an excellent plate of fish and chips. And yes, hand dipped COD! ordered the three piece and have nothing but praise. It was hot, fresh and crispy. All 3 pieces were same size. Coleslaw was very good, tarter sauce matched perfectly to fish. Crinkle cut fries were hot and tasty. And they actually had real lemon wedges versus those messy squeeze packs of fake lemon. I didnt take any chances and brang my own malt vinegar and cocktail sauce to officially make it a feast. I was all smiles from ear to ear as i dined. The restaurant was well staffed with friendly staff. The servers wore matching uniforms and looked cute wearing pony tails. I was so impressed I asked to speak to the manager who I gave a flowing review and congratulated for my wonderful experience. While most food chains are scrambling to stay alive, its no surprise Culvers is winning and expanding. If your lucky enough to have a Culvers near you, give the fish and chips a try

Pineapple Bliss is very unique to the midwest. I never been to a soft serve place that was so…read moreaccommodating to every kind of dietary needs and still taste so good! Personally, I am not a pineapple whip kind of girl but I love their more dairy-based flavors like thai tea, black sesame, or salted caramel! Their fruity flavors are truly a hit or miss for me but that's just because I prefer dairy over a sorbet soft serve. The reason why I love Pineapple Bliss despite not liking all their flavors is they give you samples. They don't judge if you ask for more than 2 samples. And their serving size is huge! The small is only $2ish and it fills me up. It's more of a meal than a post-meal dessert but I am absolutely okay with it (more for the next day, ya feel!). Recently, I had their mango with chamoy and tajin and it was perfection! I will definitely go back when they bring mango back!

" "But it's going to expire if I don't use it now, just have him scan it." I knew I was fighting a losing battle at this point. So I'm sorry to the guys behind us. And to the guy at the window.
