This Week's Restaurant Review...
By Sam L. Smithers

Grovidians frequently head northeast to Joplin for shopping and a good meal and this week we found another new restaurant in this ever-growing city.
Logan's Roadhouse, owned by the same company that operates the Cracker Barrel chain,
is located on Rangeline north of the Mall and the concept is "kickin food."
You are greeted by a bucket of peanuts ready for shelling and don't worry about the mess…just throw the shells on the floor.
The menu offers crisp salads, burgers and sandwiches, chicken, seafood, ribs, chops and freshly hand-cut steaks. And of course, the menu includes barbecue baby back ribs.
We ordered The Logan, a big sirloin that was extremely tender and only $12.99. It comes with two sides (select from a lengthy list). We had the fried onion petals and apples.
Freshly made hot rolls are delivered to your table upon seating. These are really good.
The Saturday lunch crowd filled the restaurant prior to the noon hour but service was excellent and unhurried. Our steak arrived just a bit rare (the server asks you to cut into it before departing the table) and it returned just a few minutes via the manager, who again asked that we cut it to make sure it was perfectly cooked. It was.
During the weekdays an Express Lunch is offered in under 15 minute service, with lunch sized portions.
Although we didn't have room for dessert, the restaurant offers peanut butter and chocolate ice cream pie with hot fudge and roasted peanuts, a fudge brownie, and New York Style Cheesecake.
Logan's Roadhouse has 145 units in 18 states and is headquartered in Nashville, TN.
It features lots of TV's hanging from the ceiling, a good spot to watch a sporting event we would say, although it is certainly not what you would call a "sports bar." Background music is a combination of 70's soft rock and country.
