About Us

Red Onion Cafe

In Historic, Downtown Joplin since 1995

Our Story

Since opening our doors Labor Day weekend of 1995, we have endeavored to provide the Joplin metro area with a casual, urban dining experience that includes friendly, knowledgeable service, unique and delicious menu favorites, and a place to share memories with your family and friends time and again. We are proud to be part of historic, downtown Joplin. Residing in a 100-year-old building at 4th & Virginia, one block off of Rte. 66, two worlds converge. Our comfortable dining room is contemporary yet eclectic, perfect for both family dinners and date nights. Local photography and friendly faces exemplify our midwest persona. In 2020, we are celebrating 25 years of serving the 4-state community. Red Onion Cafe began as a dream to bring something new and exciting to Joplin, and we are still excited about the delicious food and exceptional service we provide. We have since expanded Red Onion to Galena, KS, and we are proud to be a part of the communities that we serve. But we realized that it is to YOU that we should express our gratitude. Thank you to all of the guests that frequent our restaurants and spread the word about us. Here's to many more years of Smoked Chicken Dip and David's Fried Chicken Salad!
