Restaurants in Carthage

“I love this sweet little store that carries some of our favorite items. ❤️”

“Friday July 11th; I drove right past the Carthage food truck Friday and headed for the best bite in town! Friendly staff, great burgers all wrapped up in a small old school building. When I left I also had to stop 1 block North and give the little girl selling lemonade a couple bucks!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better mobile bartending service for our wedding reception! From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and kept our guests happy all night. The setup looked beautiful and elevated our reception perfectly. Two years later and we still have people ask us who did our bar! Highly recommend for any wedding or special event!”

“First time customers but definitely will be back. We stopped in for ice cream which was delicious and “old fashioned” like stepping back in time. The restaurant was clean and staff very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to returning”

“Ate here for the first time today, and it’s yet another reason why I love eating and supporting locally owned restaurants. Great atmosphere, staff was friendly and service was great. Ordered a double cheeseburger and tots and came out quick. Burger was juicy and flavorful. You can tell it’s cooked fresh. Food and service was 10/10 and will definitely be back very soon. I highly recommend this to anyone.”

“The truffles are amazing!! A great place to eat!!”

“Excellent service, nice clean restaurant. Some food options lack flavor. It would be easier to determine what some of the food choices are with some additional labels. Most of the meat choices like chicken, steak, ribs were good. Lots of desserts choices!!”

“The food is absolutely amazing. I got their shrimp fried rice and it was amazing 😍”

“Visiting from Wichita ks. And stopped in with my Carthage family. Was very pleased with our visit pizza was excellent and loved the atmosphere. Look forwards to our next visit in the summer to come here again”

“Maple Leaf Coffeehouse is exceptional. From the welcoming atmosphere to the top-notch coffee, smoothies, protein bowls, and outstanding service—it’s clear they do everything the right way.”

“Our cake was delicious! We had to do a sugar free one and everyone thought it was delicious!! We also did cookies and cupcakes. Thanks again!!”

“This is an interesting place, a hidden gem. It doesn’t look like anything from outside, barely even a truck stop. But the food is delicious and the shelves are lined with Punjabi grocery staples. I talked to the young man working there and gathered that the customers are mostly long-haul truck drivers from India who stop in for a shower and a familiar meal. There’s even a familiar Punjabi style “table” - don’t know the real term for it.

The food was delicious, and I’d guess it’s the most authentic Indian/Punjabi food in Missouri. Not your typical Americanized Indian food; not a buffet. Just really good food.”

“I love the Bahama Momma! Always fast and quick to get your order out to you! I love the app, and also love how you get a free Smoothie on your birthday if you're signed up for rewards”

“A wonderful place to eat, stopped in there today for the first time with family and the food was wonderful, will definitely be back”

“Great food and even got hustled into buying a shirt 😂”

“Stone's Throw has been a wonderful diversion during COVID-19. Everyone takes patron safety seriously and the performances are stellar. Highly recommend!! 🤩”

“This is a wonderful activity to do with family and friends……. There is always so much to choose from with the food options”

“just moved to Carthage and tried this place this morning. we enjoyed the quiet and peace while eating and the food was good.”

“The food here was fantastic! My husband and I got the dinner for two with the full rack of ribs and four sides. The ribs were so so good super tender. We’ve been trying to find a good rib place since Red Hot and Blue closed down. We also tried the porkanator sandwich yum! This is definitely the place to go and for only $40”

“thank you for making our 1st visit a great one. Top notch service and excellent pizza”

“Best central American breakfast I have had in the states! Eggs, plantain, cheese, cremma and black beans with home made tortillas amazing! And the bakery, and market look amazing, have to come back, too full from breakfast”

“We love El Charro...excellent food, and service!”

“Friendly staff and great service!”

“The pupusas were a 10/10. They tasted amazing and were identical to the authentic ones I ate in California. The lady running the restraunt was so sweet and genuine that it was great having a conversation with her after we finished eating! There's hardly any Salvadoran restraunts in the area so I'm glad there is one serving amazing food!”

“I just ordered the Beach Bum, frozen, and Love it! it's not too sweet, plus their energy kick that they add to it is a perfect duo. I also ordered the Waffle breakfast sandwich and it was pretty tasty 😋”

“Best birria and pork al pastor around! Great enchiladas, fantastic fajitas, just all around great food. Not out of the same box as everyone else in town. Friendly, family owned restaurant we love to frequent.”

“😁Big Ben's is our lunch stop on our way home or to the lake. Our favorite is the large sliced brisket sandwich. So juicy and flavorable! It is perfect for us to split as we head down the road! If you have time to go and sit down the resturant is very nice great rustic decor.”

“The best Catfish, Mac and Cheese, BBQ beans, and hush puppies in this country. I'm not even joking! Do yourself a favor and try all of their food.”

“Best oriental restaurant in Carthage, Missouri I love their food. I love their price and the people that worked there are just amazing. Whatever you do don’t go to the Asian bistro and Carthage my grandson took me there for my birthday today and I am literally so sick and I only took four bites of food so yeah, stay away from the bistro and stick with this restaurant”

“I love this place. The cheese dip and taco burgers are my favorite.”
