You'll find my family here pretty frequently. My dad is a Dairy Queen stan and thinks no other ice cream compares. My favorite Blizzard here is the Cotton Candy one they get in the summer and I love a good cheeseburger and fries from here.
Dairy Queen Grill & Chill
Wendy's is my personal favorite fast food restaurant. I think their fries are the best and I love their food. The meal deals are my go-to choice there. I could eat Wendy's several times a week if it was feasible.
Wendy's
We recently got two Whataburgers in this area and it's so exciting as it's been a long overdue arrival. In the past, we've traveled down to Arkansas to eat Whataburger and we're thrilled that there are locations closer now. Their burgers are bomb. Th...
Whataburger
Whenever my sister and I are looking for somewhere quick to grab some lunch at, Sonic is almost always our go-to. The half-price drinks on the app are elite.
Sonic Drive-In
If I'm at the mall at lunch time, I'm always getting me some nuggets and sweet tea or lemonade at Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A
This is one of my favorite burger places!! The burger patties are thin, which I personally enjoy. The fries are skinny, shoestring fries, which are my favorite kind. I'm also a fan of their fry sauce. I enjoy this place so much that when I got to pic...

Not in Missouri, but this is my family's absolute FAVORITE Mexican restaurant. We make special trips down to Rogers just to eat here. Their food is always amazing and I'm essentially ALWAYS craving or thinking about their enchiladas, rice, and papas ...
Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant
Mexican restaurants are no rarity in this area and I haven't tried every single one but of the ones my family has tried, this one is my favorite around here. Their food is so good! I love their enchiladas and rice. My dad loves their fajitas, which h...
Guadalajara Mexican Grill
Located at Precious Moments, this Italian restaurant is one we frequently visit when getting together with family. The food is great, the staff is always amazing, and they occasionally have live piano music which makes the atmosphere so cozy.
Taste of Italy
We haven't been here in a solid minute but we used to go here all the time. It's a perfect spot to go for friendly employees, delicious food, and a great experience. Birthdays are fun here FYI ;)

Also not in Missouri, but Chicken Mary's is another family favorite! They're better than Chicken Annie's (if you know, you know). We travel here when we're craving the best fried chicken (and I love their spaghetti). We come here as a family and occa...
Chicken Mary's
This is a buffett American-Chinese place that usually hits the spot. They have great tasting cashew and lemon chicken that I always eat while there. I also usually get some mac & cheese, mushrooms, and crab rangoons when ordering off the buffet. ...
Bamboo Garden Restaurant
The food here is good and LARGE. No joke. I once had a piece of chicken here that was probably the size of my face. I personally really enjoy the mac and cheese as a side. They have fish, chicken, burgers, etc. Come hungry :)
Flat Creek Webb City
Honey Butter Croissants. Monte Cristo. Broccolli Cheese Casserole. Enough said.
Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
Bricktown has some fantastic pizza and a ham & cheese sandwich with tomato soup meal that I think about frequently. We really should go here more often than we do.
Bricktown Brewery - Joplin
Sit-down pizza places are basically extinct these days but Simple Simon's gives us a place to go in and keep the nostalgic pizzeria vibes alive.
Simple Simon's Pizza
We 100% only come here for the rolls and cinnamon butter. The food is good, too but nothing compares to those epic rolls.
Texas Roadhouse
I come here for spinach articoke dip and boneless wings. My sister and mom come here for fiesta lime chicken.
Applebee's Grill + Bar
This is another place I haven't been to in a while but I am absolutely craving it now. Iggy's is the epitome of an old-fashioned diner. Red booths, milkshakes, Elvis memorabilia on the walls, Route 66 themed, etc. I always enjoy getting the spaghetti...
