We’ve all been there. A wave of nostalgia rushes over us. Maybe we’ve just passed the mall where we used to hang out as teenagers, or perhaps we’ve stumbled on our favorite candy from childhood as we’re shopping. Evoke those warm feelings of yesteryear and treat yourself to a good, old-fashioned home-cooked meal when you visit Granny Shaffer’s Restaurant, a nostalgic restaurant in Joplin, Missouri.
Sometimes a growling stomach can only be appeased with a hearty, home-cooked meal - like the comfort food served at Granny Shaffer's Restaurant in Joplin.
If you don't have time to cook, you'll find the next best thing at Granny Shaffer's.
Stepping into the cozy Joplin restaurant is almost like entering a time capsule, with its quaint wooden tables and wood paneling that summon a 70s kind of vibe.
Even if you're absolutely stuffed, you can grab a whole homemade pie to go. Just make sure you call and order at least 24 hours in advance of your visit.
