Wilder's Steakhouse

Food and service were fabulous! Drinks were great, maybe a little pricey though. My wife's birthday was perfect. And the dessert was awesome.

Wilders is my favorite place to eat, best steaks in the area. Marsha & her staff are amazing, excellent service every time. My parents & I will not eat anywhere else when it comes to steak. Also, Crystal is & will always be my favorite waitress.

Overpriced steakhouse. The food was very good, but I could have gone to Outback 3 times for the same steak with more sides and an appetizer. For the price, I expect quicker service, especially on a weekend. Over one hour from when the food order was placed until it hit the table. Won't be back.

This is such an interesting building and I would have liked being able to explore more! This building was built in the early 1900's and is an historical landmark. As a restaurant, Wilder's is the oldest, continuously and locally owned restaurant in Joplin.

Some of the other reviews mentioned an odor to the restaurant, and there is a light musty odor when you first walk in but I forgot all about it before even getting to the table. The decor is gorgeous, especially the detail on the ceiling and the bar, which is a focal point of the dining area.

I had duck breast with a mushroom, potato, and sweet potato hash, topped with a fried egg and a side of truffle macaroni and cheese. Everything was delicious.

Service was excellent. Our waiter was very well-balanced in his attention to our table. Attentive but not intrusive, which showed his skill and experience. The owner also stopped by our table to thank us for coming and to check on the quality of our meal.

This is a higher priced locale, so be prepared for that, but I felt that it was worth it. Would definitely recommend!
