Mojo Burger Co. - Joplin

I do not understand all the bad reviews. I come here fairly regularly and have never had a problem! The prices are more than reasonable, the burgers are by far the best in town, I 've never had a soggy fry but they DO give you very large portions of said fries! The employees are always exceptionally friendly and any mistakes I 've seen were always happily and easily remedied. Their Spaghetti Red is as good or better than Fred 'N Reds (and a little cheaper) and they 're nicer at Mojo. I like mine with cheese and pickles.

If you are looking for a locally owed burger joint, I would recommend.. The varitey of toppings allows you to create your own flavor and the Salt and Vinager fries, though a bit soggy, had my mouth dancing..

I prefer Mojo over Five Guys. While the menu isn’t extensive, the burgers, fries, and spaghetti red are all excellent. The variety of fry flavors is a fun touch as well. I definitely recommend dining in, as the drive-thru takes quite a while (which makes sense since everything is made fresh). Although the service can be slow when dining in, the atmosphere is surprisingly nice and clean for a burger and fry place.

If you’re not in the mood for a burger, there are plenty of other options to choose from: Coney, Spaghetti Red, Chili Cheese Fries, or Frito Pie. You definitely won't leave hungry, as the portions are HUGE, and you can add all the FREE toppings you want to these items too! Now, let’s talk about the fries. This place really knows how to do fries! They just won an award for the best fries in the area, and it’s easy to see why. They cut the potatoes themselves— you can even see the fresh potatoes when you walk in. Once they're freshly cooked, you get to choose from a variety of flavors like Ranch, Cajun, Sweet and Salty, Salt and Vinegar, Lemon Pepper, and of course, just Salted. I personally love the Sweet and Salty with their addictive 'Stache sauce! The only downside to the fries is that they can get soggy pretty quickly because they’re made fresh. But don’t let that deter you! I eat here at least once a week, and the staff are incredibly friendly, treating me like family!

Mojo is fantastic! I've visited several Five Guys locations, and Mojo definitely competes with them. Personally, I enjoy a double burger topped with bacon, cheese, Mojo sauce, fresh jalapeños, and mushrooms. The ranch and Cajun fries are also amazing. I live nearby and usually use the drive-thru a couple of times a month. While Eagle Drive-In may claim the title of "Joplin's Best Burger," Mojo is right up there with them and at a much better price. Joplin will soon be getting its own Five Guys, but do yourself a favor and skip the long lines—try the awesome local alternative at Mojo instead!
