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.
The dining room is divided into smoking and non-smoking areas.
Before you even make it to your seat, you'll pass a display case brimming with homemade pies. Plan to save room for dessert.
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.
Even if you're not a breakfast person, you might find yourself starting to reevaluate your position, especially once you try the biscuits and gravy. It's just one tasty way to start your day.
Granny Shaffer's dishes up all of the classic breakfast meals (and in generous portions), from eggs Benedict to omelettes.
Sometimes the best way to launch the day is with a hearty helping of sweetness. French toast, maybe? Or how about a helping of pancakes? (Fair warning: They're HUGE.)
Choose from such flavors as blueberry, pecan, or chocolate chip.
If you need a midday pick-me-up, sink your teeth into a classic sandwich or a burger.
Or taste for yourself why the restaurant's fried chicken earns glowing marks.
The menu also features a generous selection of steak, seafood, and pasta dishes.
