Best outdoor seating restaurants in Joplin Missouri 2021

 

We’re coming off of a year of isolation, and now that life has begun again, it’s time to get out and enjoy the company of our friends and family. That means it’s time for good eats, preferably ones with a great outdoor patio.

 

We compiled a list of restaurants in and around Joplin that have patios or outdoor seating to take full advantage of the beautiful Missouri Summer.

Tropicana Bar & Grill

 

We wanted to start with Tropicana Bar and Grill in Joplin for a few different reasons. The top reason is their incredibly-strong review level online, which is usually a pretty great indicator of quality. Their self-described “balcony seating” has us intrigued, and we’re planning to give their american-style cuisine a try next time we’re in town.

 

Since we’re located just a short distance from Joplin, over in Miami Oklahoma, we spend a great deal of time mingling with our neighboring city.

 

Crabby’s

 

You’ll “sea” why we recommended this crustacean-themed restaurant the moment you walk in, as their crab cakes are to die for. When you’re looking for something as specific as outdoor seating at a Joplin seafood restaurant, it’s hard to find a more appropriate location than Crabby’s.

 

They even offer takeout, so you’re covered if you want tilapia to go.

Screamin’ Chicken

 

With a name like Screamin’ Chicken, it’s hard to imagine this place is anything other than a blast.

 

Reviews of this downtown Joplin food truck leave us with the impression that this is a fantastic spot for a quick wing fix while spending time in the great outdoors. We have it on good authority that their buffalo sauce is top notch, but what about the lemon pepper?

WISEGUYS Italian American Comfort Foods

 

This place may look like a hole in the wall, but the hundreds of five-star reviews this place has raked in leaves us certain that it’s worth the trip.

 

This is potentially the highest rated italian restaurant in Joplin, and they’ve earned a cult following of folks who make sure to drop by every time they are in town. Their front porch area is not the most fancy spot to dine down, but this isn’t fine dining. It’s casual Italian food that you can even take out.

 

Joplin is a beautiful city that’s just a stone’s throw away from our dealership in Miami, Oklahoma, and we’d love it if you’d make the short leap over to see us.
