Club 1201

I threw a surprise birthday party for my husband at Club 1201 recently. The ambience as always was warm and cozy, the food was excellent and the service was awesome. If you're thinking about throwing a party at a restaurant look no further than Club 1201.

Honest review... Brunch.Food:Beignets- When comparing to a New Orleans beignet, it is not great. Would not order this again.Eggs- 3 out of 4 of us did not get the eggs how we ordered them.Sausage- taste was good but you got 2 very small patties that were hard.Hash browns- good but very small portion.Coffee good.It seems the bill did not reflect the prices that were on the menu. Somehow a $11 turned out to be $13 or $14. Not sure how/why that happened.Service: AwesomeAmbiance: Nice

We came to town for a coworkers birthday and ended up here at club 1201. We were initially supposed to have a party of 7 coming in around 12, but 3 cancelled and the other 4 of us decided to go early. They were really understanding and rolled with the change of time and # of guests easily. I wish I had gotten a picture of the inside of the restaurant, it has that kind of mismatched style that somehow completely works. The staff were friendly and fairly attentive. We ordered the blackened chicken dip to start and honestly I'd I wasn't sharing with 3 other people I could have made this my entire meal, it was delicious. I ordered the steak wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. I did feel that the toppings were kind of light - for an entree salad there's almost nothing to fill you up. Also, the bacon was good, but I wish there was more. Blue cheese crumbles would have been nice as well. The dressing was really good and the steak was well cooked and had good flavor. I'm not down in the area often, but if I was I'd eat here again.

Was visiting home for Christmas from Los Angeles and this place made me feel like I was in CA! :) It's super hip and fresh, unlike many of the places I grew up going to around Joplin - a welcomed change! We visited for brunch on a Sunday around 11am. There was no wait. The place was beautifully decorated for Christmas. All the servers were super sweet and efficient. I had the omelet special and my parents had a crepe and one of the benedicts. All 3 portions were generous and the food was delicious! The most decedent of the 3 was the benedict thing my mom got, eggs served on top of a spinach and artichoke dip-like stuff instead of biscuits or some other bread. It was SO RICH, so only get that plate if you're feeling like overindulging or if you're starving! Haha For 2 Bloody Mary's + the 3 plates, it came to $58 before tip. At $9/each for the BM bar, I thought that price was a bit high for Joplin (that's what I'd pay in LA for one BM at brunch!). However, the price was fair considering the ridiculous amount of stuff they had to put in the BMs - cubed cheeses, meats, olives, shrimp, veggies, pretty much everything you could imagine possible to toss into a BM. The mason jar they're served in was also half full with the vodka + semi-crushed ice, so they put a decent amount of vodka in them (and even had bacon vodka as a choice)! I'm really glad to see Joplin is starting to get places like this!!

This trendy style restaurant is great is you have a crowd that is a mix between wanting breakfast food or lunch. They have basics and specialty items to choose from that you can't get at just any restaurant around town. The 'make-your-own' Bloody Mary bar is my fav because there are a ton of ingredients to choose from for any preferences.

I was really excited to try this place while I was in town visiting, it looked trendy and upscale. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. We waited over 45 minutes for our food, and while it was a bit busy, there were vacant tables and no line. When the food finally arrived, it was incredibly bland. Definitely not worth the $18 I paid for crab cake eggs Benedict and what they called truffle fries (they weren't). That was the experience for the rest of my family as well. Overpriced and dull. Our server was antisocial to the point of verging on rude. He always acted rushed and annoyed that he had to interact with us, and made sure to keep conversation to a non-existent minimum. The bathroom is also in horrible condition for such a nice-looking restaurant. One of just two stalls out of order, one of just two ceiling lights out (it was very dark in tnere), and a large hole in the wall. Honestly the only good thing I can say is that their Mimosa and Bloody Mary bars were very good, with lots of options for both. They were also pretty generous with the champagne and vodka, respectively. That said, we won't be coming back here.

Stopped for lunch here during a cross country drive and it was amazing! Team here accomodated us on the patio (doggie) during the off-season, food was amazing!!, and staff was so friendly

Stopped on our way through town. Easy to get to off the highway. Great service and delicious healthy options.

Our party of 10 (8 adults, 1 one year old, and 1 five year old) went here for breakfast on Mother's Day. The restaurant refused to take reservations but reassured us that at 9:30 AM we would get seated right away. That should have been a red flag but we went anyway. We did get seated immediately. However they were severely short staffed. The restaurant was packed because they had told the same thing to all the other families. This is the first indicator that they have no idea how to run a business. We sat at our table for 1 hour and 10 minutes before they gave us water to drink and took our orders at 10:40 AM. We ordered beignets that never came however did show up in our bill. The food arrived at 11:45 AM, cold. It tasted okay however nothing you need to wait 2.5 hours to eat. The girl that waited on us kept apologizing but never actually did anything helpful. She didn't bring water refills. I asked for a to-go box that she never brought. Overall the worst Mothers Day experience we have had. Our 1 year old was beside herself waiting in her high chair for 3 hours. If one of us had gone back there to cook in their kitchen, we would have gotten food out faster. And we are no chefs. This restaurant has no process, no way to manage crowds, and food that is exactly like the million other places out there. My family and friends will never return.

While visiting relatives we happened upon this place. We had salads that were absolutely excellent! I had the Steakhouse Wedge and my husband the Ahi salad. Beautifully presented and wonderful flavors. I also had a perfect Bloody Mary complete with a stick of bacon! The menu is has great options complete with unusual touches that enhance your food. The atmosphere reminds me of wineries. Great place to eat!
