I wasn’t impressed with my experience here, to start with I was asked to tip at the counter where I ordered, I don’t tip the person that cuts my hair prior to the job being done so why should I tip prior to being served? Anyway, the cubano sandwich wasn’t very good, these are made typically with a finite set of ingredients that this one was missing, on top of that the pork had a strange flavor to it. The soup was pretty good but I think the cheese used was incorrect, again typically french onion soup is served with a stringy cheese that is easily separated into portions you can manage, I had to remove this blob and place it on my plate and portion it into manageable pieces.

I tried this place for the first time the other day, and I absolutely LOVE their smoked turkey sandwich!!!! It came with a side, and I got the cucumber onion and tomato salad. That was absolutely amazing. This place is very clean inside. I loved my experience. I will be returning.

Very friendly staff. Food was very good. Serving sizes are good as well. Smoke Chicken dip was amazing. Got Penne Alfredo one with broccoli other with bacon. Was very good. This was our 2nd time eating at a Red Onion. I guess they’re all owned by different people. Which I didn’t know. Not sure what the salad dressing was but it was so yummy!
Sorry pictures are after we finished eating. Couldn’t eat it all.

Coconut fried chicken with potatoes and a salad. Coconut fried chicken seems to have turned into chicken tenders and the spicy seasoned red potatoes are now french fries. Not a good move Red Onion, it’s a downhill slope.

The food was very delicious and the customer service was A1 as well. Came here for a basketball tournament and wasn’t mad about this being our first food stop. Everything was seasoned very good and the chicken was crispy. Salad was fresh as well.

We had the tomato soup, Blt and the chicken salad sandwich. The best lunch we’ve had in Joplin so far. It’s a cute little spot and the ladies at the front were very accommodating great customer service. We will be back. Highly recommend!!

The food was so good today! We shared a piece of carrot cake that had great flavor but was pretty dry (not fresh). I'll try the cheesecake next time!

Try and avoid the French Inion Au Gratin soup. The last three times I’ve gone it’s not at all be melted. It’s two medium slices of provolone on top barely melted. Tonight I took a small bit after having it submerged in my soup. I almost choked on it, had to grab it out of my mouth. This is very unsafe. I’ve told staff in the past about it but never asked for it to be heated up more (don’t wanna be that guy), but after pretty much almost choking on it tonight I needed to leave a review. Please MELT THE CHEESE! My spouse had bariatric surgery and could have eaten it if it had been melted and only one slice. I told her she shouldn’t eat it and we are glad I didn’t, that could have gotten caught in her stomach and caused a lot of issues. One slice, fully melted is the classic Au Gratin French Onion Soup. I need to see the rim of the bowl through the cheese. I get it, it’s Joplin Mo, folks like their dairy but when it’s that thick and not melted yuck.
Other than that all the food is delicious. The Davids Fried Chicken is amazing with house dressing or honest mustard. Love the Rueben sandwich also, perfect combo of flavors. Just.. for the love of god, melt the cheese on the soup.. You may laugh at this until someone does choke and something happens. You all use to use one slice, very melted. Two thick slices under a heat lamp while the other food is made isn’t it.
Yes, this was a rant about a soup. Absolutely nothing else wrong with the restaurant. It’s just after telling staff over the last year that it should be melted more and then this. I need someone to listen.
