Must OrderThe Classic Single Cheeseburger
Tucked into a storefront on Main Street, Downtown Burgers is the kind of no-frills Joplin spot that earns the potato the honest way. The Classic Single Cheeseburger is fresh-cooked, properly greasy in the best sense, and priced like a burger should be. The fries are hand-done and the rotating specials give a tiny menu real personality. It is carryout-first and the crew is small, so call ahead, but the food rewards the trip. This is exactly the kind of downtown classic Dirty Potato exists to celebrate.
