Chef Mike Clark, known as Mr. Clark, built this place with his wife by his side and three kids in mind. This is their dream, and now it's yours to share.

Went in there with a friend today for lunch and got a double cheeseburger combo and it was excellent! Best burger in joplin. The fries were delicious as well. Had plenty of seasonings to choose from for your fries as well. And definitely ask for sauces, their ranch and fry sauce were amazing. If you do come you better bring a big appetite, because I’m a big dude and I struggled with finishing it.

Trackside has one of the best fried chicken sandwiches around! The chicken is hand breaded and fried to order and is absolutely delicious! Everything is fresh, crisp and hot! Paired with the BEST sweet potato fries, and I couldn't be happier. They go above and beyond to make sure that customers are happy, their food is the best quality and their restaurant is clean and inviting. They are definitely a local restaurant that I am honored to support.

Food is amazing. Got a triple patty burger roughly $19. It tastes amazing fries are fresh and crispy. Baked beans were near perfection. Brisket is amazing as well. My wife loves pepper and it's got a mildly strong pepper flavor. Spent 44 bucks for everything. Triple patty burger is huge and the a hand size bowl of baked beans. 100% would recommend to eat here. You want a burger you got it here. 🍔

The best cheese burger, (pork belly burger) I've ever had, and I've been all over the US. Not only was the burger amazingly cooked, but so filling too. That usually means to my belly that it's real food! The loaded sweet potato fries are to die for and large enough to share with the whole family. Chicken tenders were tender and the fried pickles werent too salty for once...must try with the track sauce. You will not be dissatisfied with anything they make. The whole staff was inviting,…
