Great food, great service! Nice hidden gem. We have eaten here on to separate occasions and each time it was great!

Delicious, chef made food in Carterville MO! Small, quaint sitting so if you're bothered by closeness, this might not be the place for you. The back room is good for alleviating this issue. It's worth it! I've been there several times and have yet to have a bad meal.

Well when I was a kid I got an ice cream cone here. Now it’s a very good Italian Eatery. I was recommended this place by a relative. I arrived and it was a a little slow getting my order take. But once my order was in my salad arrived pretty quickly. I’m a big bleu cheese fan. Don’t eat their bleu Cheese lol. It wasn’t very good. The food dish came out next. A steak onion and mushroom with a nice brown cream pepper sauce. Wow was it good! Once I finished the serving was really big and I had a lot left over. I received the bill and was told by the waiter, “let me know when you’re ready and I will take care of that for you.” I put my card on the table. Most restaurant usually when a waiter says he will take care of it that means comes to my table and takes my card for the bill. Well after waiting for some time…I finally said I was ready and got his attention. He said, “Sir, you have to come up here to pay.” I told him I had never been there and didn’t know. Well about 60% of the restaurant knew what was going on by then.So the food was amazing. Service was just so so. I would still recommend for the food. I wanna return just to try something else.

These guys have it going on, and all I can wish is that I was closer so I could enjoy more often. This place was recommended to me by a pit master in NWA when I inquired about the best BBQ between NWA and Joplin, and he did not disappoint! Between in-house smoked meats and fresh made in-house pasta, this is a concept that is sure to please all with a palate for great food. The service was awesome and attentive, and I really enjoyed learning about their origin and future plans! This is an instant classic, one I hope to return to again soon, even if its 20 hours away!

Liked eating here at first but it got to were my wife and I were spending $40-$50 just to eat lunch! We don't order the most expensive items... usually a sandwich or wrap and occasionally an entree like the Chicken Parm (which they up-charge $2 to get the pasta!). The drinks (very weak iced tea) are VERY expensive. The food has always been good, so no complaints there. Most of the waitresses are good except maybe one. It's sad that we had to stop eating there. But they are even more expensive than popular Joplin restaurants and those are closer and have better atmosphere.

Delicious yet strange combination of smoked meats that can rival any Kansas City smokehouse and made from scratch Italian food??The owner must be a foodie who loves flavors because none of the food could be considered disappointing!Two musts: (both considered appetizers)Garlic fried cheese curdsSteak friesParking: It may seem confusing at first glance, but there is perpendicular street parking in this little town and you can pull up to the front of the restaurant perpendicular (old style) to the restaurant.Or: parking in a tiny lot in back and street parking on side road.

We love Famos. We always have great service and the food is amazing. You can not go wrong with the alfredo, gargonzola tips, triple trio pasta, or brushetta chicken!!
