What People Say
Most Liked
The fast service stands out during busy nights, making sure you don’t have to wait long for your food or drink. Locals rave about the beer selection, including renowned names like Boulevard Tank 7 and craft favorites. The cocktail list is equally impressive, featuring unique concoctions like the Blackstone Smoked Old Fashioned.
Also, the small plates encourage sharing and exploration of various flavors without the commitment of a full meal. The laid-back atmosphere contributes to its status as a great date spot or a place to unwind after a long day. People love the sense of community here, as the staff often go above and beyond to engage with diners, adding a personal touch that enhances the experience. On weekends, the outdoor seating becomes particularly special, creating an inviting ambiance that locals cherish.
Most Disliked
Some visitors express frustration during peak dinner hours, mainly on Fridays when it reaches full capacity. Long waits for a table are common, making reservations a smart move. Occasionally, the noise level can rise significantly when the gastropub is bustling, which might deter those preferring a quieter dining experience.
While most food is acclaimed, a few reviewers noted inconsistencies in dish preparation during busy times. It's wise to ask for recommendations or highlights of the day if you’re uncertain about what to order during those crowded evenings. Others mentioned that the parking lot can quickly fill up, although free street parking is available nearby. Lastly, while the pub vibe attracts many, a few incorrectly anticipated a traditional formal dining atmosphere at first glance. This casual vibe often transforms into a lively bar atmosphere, especially in the evenings.

Langston Hughes wrote, "Hold fast to dreams, For if Dreams die, Life is a flightless bird, that cannot fly." No flightless bird here. This charming pub if full of life and I am sure the Raven on it's wall comes to life at night looking for a taste of this world class food in little Joplin Missouri. My sweetheart and I have traveled to 27 countries and most states and were grateful to find this his gem of a gastronomic heaven as good any East Coast eatery. This small treasure has delicious food, delightful welcomes (our waiter with a mustache of perfection just added to the charm), and divine desserts indulge in! Thank you Blackstone Grastropub!

I was in town for a wedding and stopped here for some lunch. The food was incredible, especially the fresh made pork rinds. I love that they fry their food in beef tallow, mega bonus points for that. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

LOVED the creamy pesto gnocchi, it was soo good! This was my second time ordering it Mac and cheese tasted fresh None of the food leaves you feeling “yucky”, felt very freshly prepared Ambience is excellent, great date spot Staff is so personable and funny 😆 They were full on a Saturday evening around 6/7pm so I recommend reserving a table

Super laid back atmosphere. Excellent service and excellent food. Highly recommend. I was a little unsure about bringing my underage daughter because it looks more like a bar from outside but once we went inside, it was very comfortable. My daughter liked her Blackstone BLT. I really enjoyed the Meat Sweats Pasta dish. Both items were plenty to fill us up. We were super hungry and we both found it difficult to eat all of the portions. The waitress was really nice and prompt. Service was quick. I'll definitely stop in again while touring Route 66.

We stopped here before our flight out of Joplin and it was a great choice! We ordered a burger with fries and two house margaritas, both were equally delicious. Reasonably priced as well. The service was awesome also. I would recommend stopping by this place!

My wife and I love Blackstone Gastropub! It’s a great date night spot. They have a unique menu and we have been trying something different each time. We’ve had loved every app, desert and meal. Most recently I had the Pickle Chicken Bites, delicious! The Meat Sweats is a solid choice! The service has always been fantastic and we really like the atmosphere. Everything about. Blackstone Gastropub is unique and we love every bit of it.

We stopped here as we were stuck in town for a truck repair. We sat at the bar. The owner was likely our bartender. Either way she did great. She was knowledgeable and super enthusiastic about the food and drinks. The food and cocktails were great
