    Three Car Pile-Up
    Nicolaus O.

    This place has yet to disappoint! Staff go above and beyond for you. The place is very big and can get very crowded during breakfast. Simple decor and they have an outdoor patio for a dining option! So every time I come I try one of their special highlighted in yellow. This was the Three Car Pile-Up and talk about massive portions! I devoured everything on that place and practically didn't eat anything for the remainder of the day! It's worth every penny I can guarantee that.

    We used the online waitlist to check in since there was a wait. They were having some tech issues because it said it was our turn but it really wasn't. That part was a little frustrating. We waited probably 10 mins total, so still not too bad. Just would be nice if their online thing synched properly. Our food was really nice. The loaded sticky bun was amazing. Really great omelet too. Service was pretty quick, which was also a plus. Our waiter was attentive but I wish restaurants would train waitstaff in how to project their voice. I'm not hard of hearing but I struggled to hear what he was even saying. But other than that he did a nice job and the service was good.

    Tried this place as we were passing through...we were greeted and seated almost immediately upon walking in. The staff were all very friendly. The food was excellent! The chicken is soooo good! Will definitely come back.

    Here's a peek at the menu!

    Service was great, food was good, sweet tea was actually sweet tea! At the end of the day it is what it is, but give it a try!

    Good coffee with easy refills.

    Joplin happens to be a good midway point for my wife and I to meet up with our daughter and her…read morefamily. Looking for a new and fun place to meet up for this latest trip, we stumbled across The Bruncheonette in Yelp. Sooooo thankful we did. It's located at the northern edge of downtown Joplin on main street. It's a small quaint place with both on and off-street parking. We could tell immediately that we'd made a popular choice based upon the large number of cars and folks waiting to get a seat. The hostess welcomed us just outside the front door and us we'd be seated shortly. She was great and very nice to chat with. We had to wait outside a short bit before we were escorted inside. The space and seating is limited for sure. There are tables as well as some bar-style seating along the edges of the restaurant. The environment was busy, fun and lively. Our granddaughter loved all the action. The person who escorted us in then actually took the extra time to explain their menu and options, which are posted on boards above the checkout counter. The menu is limited and made up of a combo of traditional lunch/brunch items. But they are all done with a unique and delicious flair. Sort of a twist on the traditional bunch options. All of us enjoyed our meals. We had breakfast street tacos, a salmon cake eggs Benedict special, French toast, the fruit plate and a pancake. All of the portions were good sized, ingredients fresh and tasted great. They even went the extra step to bring our granddaughter some fried cheese to munch on. Very kind. I also got a laugh out of the fun pictures in the bathroom as well. Hilarious. The restaurants location allowed us to enjoy a stroll around the downtown area afterward brunch. Great place, great staff. We now have a new "meet-up" spot in Joplin!

    My wife and I decided to eat here last week. It was a nice experience. I had 1201 Benedicts with…read morethe Crab Cakes. It tasted great. I was disappointed that the eggs were overcooked. 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.

Eggs- 3 out of 4 of us did not get the eggs how we ordered them. Sausage- taste was good but you got 2 very small patties that were hard. Hash browns- good but very small portion. Coffee good. It seems the bill did not reflect the prices that were on the menu. Somehow a $11 turned out to be $13 or $14. Not sure how/why that happened. Service: Awesome Ambiance: Nice

Their breakfast is as good as it gets when it comes to cafe food. Their meatloaf is some of the best I've had to be honest. I love their homemade hot rolls they serve with the meatloaf. The hamburger steak is one of my favorites. Their green beans are ok. Probably their weakest side. Their country potatoes are among my favorites. The service is always good. The ladies there work hard and know their customers. It's loud when full of customers, but hey..at least they are busy. It's always clean and they are friendly. Obviously I love this place. If you want great cafe food, then just eat here. Oh, give their baked goods a try. You'll thank me later. :-)

Don't get me wrong the biscuits and gravy were very good, I just needed something sweet after the awesome home style breakfast. Would definitely come back.
