    This place does it right. Full stop. The Undercliff is one of my favorite places in the Joplin area. The staff has always been on point, friendly, and especially good with regular customers. Beer is cheap, and the burgers, sandwiches and soups are all good. I've always loved the Lemon Pepper Chicken Sandwich, so I am especially glad it's on the menu full time now. It used to be an occasional special. If you don't go out often, or prefer the familiarity of chain restaurants, this is not for you. Everything about this place has a fun flair: the building, decor, jukebox, free foosball table and colorful staff. It's a small place with an even smaller kitchen, and it's not fast food. Bring people you actually like to talk to, grab a beer on the patio, enjoy your dinner and the surrounding scenery.

    The food here is kinda just ok, but the atmosphere is so neat, that it's worth at least one trip here! On the inside, one wall is not really a wall but rather it's the actual side of a cliff. Because of that, there is a musty smell that lingers indoors. I can get past the smell for the neat building itself, but we won't frequent here for the food. Maybe go again just for a drink.

    I couldn't make myself stop here because a douchebag in in a douche-truck was in the process of parking on a gravel pile. I suppose this was to justify the 12" lift and zero real off-road outfitting on his American freedom steed. The four stars are for his unseen but probable tribal tattoos, Oakley Bladez, and backward baseball cap...and possible hub emblems on his street wheels - unless maybe he optioned for the skulls.?? He must have thought he was at Buffalo Wild Wings.

    To me it feels like everyone within a 100 mile radius of Joplin is tripping over themselves about how much they adore Undercliff. I just don't get it. It's an overpriced burger in a little dank cafe wedged up against some rocks. I've also known people who go weekly to see their favorite waitress and that is an even bigger mystery to me. I guess you either "get" the Undercliff thing or you just don't, and I don't!

    Such a cool and unique place! Their food isn't anything out of the ordinary...but its a wide menu and consistently good. It's just a great place to relax and have a good time. Only downside is that getting a table on a busy night is sometimes kind of a challenge...it seems to be kind of a free for all at times and there is absolutely no room inside the restaurant to wait. Parking is very tight as well if it's busy. Definitely a one-of-a-kind with good food as well! One of my favorite places to take friends from out of town.

    To say this spot is in the middle of nowhere would be an understatement! But if you're visiting the area - it's a must see - especially if you're craving a burger and fries. The building opened in 1928 as a general store but has been under its current ownership as a restaurant since the mid-90s. The coolest thing about the space is that it's literally a shack built into the side of a cliff! The back wall of the dark dining room looks like a cave (it smells a little like one too). The interior decor is a mix of old hollywood and vintage sports stuff. I was told by a local to order the build a burger with fries and cheese sauce. I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to fries - ketchup only. But I ordered a side of the sauce anyway and damn that stuff is good. I even ended up dipping the last part of my burger in it. Mmmm! There's an outdoor eating patio that's perfect when it's warm outside - but you must love dogs. The owners' three big dogs sit at the base of your table in hopes you'll drop a fry. They're adorable - but you wont want to share those fries!!

    Terrible service!! When we sat down there were only two other tables in the restaurant and it took us over 2 hours and twenty mins to get our food and check. We received our app quickly and then didn't see anything else for another hour and a half. As they started to get busier we saw table after table get their food and checks before our waitress even said anything. When our food finally arrived half of our side items were missing and the food came out in shifts. The waitress claimed the mac and cheese was worth the wait but it was clearly kraft mac with cheddar melted on top (yuck!). Understaffed and undermanaged and the food was disappointing=miserable experience. Will not be going back.

    I don't get the hype that surrounds this hole. I've been here three times and I guess I just am not a local that understands. Only locals come here dragging out of towners. I went kicking and screaming and decided the third try was the final. The food is barely diner quality and just plain sucks. Now that I no longer come to Joplin, it will not be missed.

    Yes, you can get better food elsewhere, but the combination of the food and the atmosphere (including the drive) make this a great place to visit on a temperate day (especially when the leaves are turning). It's reasonably priced as well.

    I am a fan of the restaurant but do not get to go as often as I would like because of the out of the way location. But that is not a knock because the location adds to the restaurant. The food has always been outstanding. The south of the border Burger is amazing. The loaded waffle fries are a great appetizer and the fried zucchini is pretty good too. My only complaint is the lack of seating and wait time for a table. But overall it is a great place.

    The food isn't the greatest. I've had a few things on the menu and have only been able to somewhat enjoy the Lemon Pepper Chicken sandwich. It's really cramped inside. It takes a long time to get your food because they start cooking them after they're ordered so if you have a big group it could be up to an hour before getting your food! It's an ok restaurant to come to once every few months but the food is definitely not worth the drive.

    Very unique location and setting, inside wall is the cliff wall. I've been here about 10 times and everything I've ate was very good. It's like everything they serve if their specialty. This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. It's very much worth the extra drive, I'm confident you will agree.

    Decent enough roadside joint. The patrons we encountered were obvious locals. The fact that one half the the place is a rock wall is pretty cool. Yes it's the undercliff for a reason. And even though you can order from the full bar, the fact that the burger basket 'comes with' a soda or a draft beer is freaking awesome. I cannot say it's the best burger because it wasn't but a definite 3 star burger and one I'd have again. The burrito was a huge plate. The homemade chips left a lot to be desired. They didn't seem homemade and were a little too thick for my liking. Salsa was 'ok' and thick as well. My one big complaint is that regardless of all the covered outdoor seating and adjacent patio seating, they let you smoke inside. Gag. Really? Still? I forgot it's MO and it's not yet a law here but for such a small place, you'd think the smoking could stay outside. It is a popular place, very busy!!! Which is always a good sign.

    We would have never found this gem of a place had it not been for a Yelp review! It is definitely off the beaten path...but the seclusion just adds to it's intrigue! Not only is the fact that it is literally built right into the cliff just plain awesome...but the burgers and fries are too! The bacon on my burger was de-lish!!! The burgers were large gourmet style which really surprised me for such a small dive. The back wall of the interior is the rock of the "cliff". This would be a great stop for a day out on your Harley! We will certainly make a trip through this area again...hopefully on our bikes next time! If youre looking for great food, great service, a memorable atmoshere and a little road trip doesn't bother you...this is the place for you!

    Love this place! Yes, it's a bit out of the way but the drive is beautiful! Everything I've had here was great: burgers, cheesesteaks, breakfast, bloody marys, etc. And the beer is always really cold. The restaurant is built on the side of a cliff. Very casual and nostalgic atmosphere. Just a low key place with a cool vibe...

    We went early on a Saturday night. We sat out on the patio and had a couple of beers to begin. Not a huge selection of bottled beer and everything on tap was "light" beer. They had a solo guitarist/singer playing and he did a fine job. As the crowd got larger we put our name on the list to be seated. We were seated relatively quickly in a booth. The booth was very cramped. I'm 6'2" and 210. I could barely breath! I scooted the bench seat back after the booth behind me was vacated, but then was asked by the hostess to move it back when she seated the next guests. The bench backs are almost vertical. Not very comfortable. I ordered the south of the border burger and my date ordered the "dam" good sandwich. The burger featured "homemade" chili. Hmm? I find that hard to believe. It reminded me of typical canned chili. It wasn't bad, just typical lower end bar food. The "dam" good sandwich was fairly large but not remarkable. Neither one of us finished our meal. The fries and onion rings were frozen but we're decent, hot and crispy. While we were at our table, a runner came through several times with bags of various frozen products. I understand the need for taverns to make use of frozen foods. But you shouldn't ask your customers to pay a premium price for it. The atmosphere is pretty cool. It's a small space and was pretty packed while we were there. The service was good and we got our food in a respectable amount of time. Others have complained about service, but we had no problems. Bottom line, go for the unique location. Just remember it's a bar that serves food and keep your expectations within reason.

    Wow! What a place! Food and service were both excellent, and the prices were good too. Off the beaten path, and with a regular crowd, this place is a must see. Drinks are REALLY cheap too during happy hour!

    Thank you for offering sweet potato fries to go with my burger! All the food I've tried is consistently good. It's a destination for our lunch rides.

    This place is simply unbelievably cool. The atmosphere, the food, the staff... I had the smoked pork chops, and Mike had the steak. I read the reviews from others and I am stunned. HOW could ANYone not like the food here? I have dined in 5-star restaurants where the food was not as good as what we got here. The service was exceptional, and yeah, there's a bit of a wait, but like the sign says, they are a "restaurant, not a rush-taurant". Good food takes time, and everything I had was perfection. Love love love this place, and it is a DEFINITE must-stop if you are in the area!!!

    It use to be a great place to go years ago. Now the food is over priced but good. The problem is that the service is terrible! It took my wife and I over 40 minutes just to be seated inside to eat. Sure they were busy but it was Saturday night and they were not serving food outside where the tables and great view are, only inside. My only guess is a bad GM. After we ordered it took another 45 minutes to get two avocado burgers with fries. I wanted to walk out after the first 45 minutes, but my wife wanted to stay because she thought that would be rude. We could see the cooks moving as fast as molasses, unlike our waitress who we almost never saw. I will not be going back!
