Good luck, sounds like fun. I'd love to live at the lake full time.

Joplin has several good locally owned restaurants. The top three “nice” ones are:

Mythos
Crabby’s
Wilders

609 also has pretty good food and an awesome happy hour.

More fun restaurants are Eagle Drive-in (specialty burgers), Hackett’s Hot Wings, Instant Karma (specialty hot dogs and craft beer), The Bruncheonette, Kinnaree Thai Cuisine, Ichiban for suishi, Woody’s Woodfire Pizza, Hortons pizza for delivery/take out, Tropicana Bar and Grill, Lalos taqueria, El Vallarta

Infuxn is probably the best bar, that’s mainly just a bar. Most of the above have a bar in the restaurant. I’m sure that I’m also missing a few that others can add in later.

This pretty much covers it.

Our favorite place is Crabby's and I frequent Instant Karma at least 1 day a week, mainly for beer.

Find a farmer friend and look for arrowheads after a plow and rain. They're everywhere out there. So much fun!

I visited Joplin last year for the first time since I moved away in first grade. I recreated a photo in the driveway of my old house where I was on my way to school. The owner was skeptical at first until I showed him the original picture.

I don't remember any specific restaurants.

There is a place in Clinton called donut palace, the one in buffalo might be the same, and they are the best I've ever had

Thanks everyone . DG I said hi to the Mrs. There is a Mazzios in Grove where I am going to live but there is a small ma and Pa pizza joint Good fellas that I think is even better. I think being able to have a cocktail on the boat every night after work is going to be a nice change. Well that and having no mortgage and very few bills.v

Grove close to Longs Resort . Someone asked about moving to OK on purpose but the strange thing is how many people are from California that now live in Grove.

I live in pryor about 45 minutes away and theres a lot of cali transfers. in jr. high and high school we would have 3-7 new kids from cali every year. as a matter of fact that's how my wifes family ended up here. the lure of work in the mid America industrial park and a low cost of living.
