Sometimes, I’ll order the salad version of this sandwich. You’ll understand once you’ve tasted this bread. Yes, these are my food-obsessed thoughts.

But then I realized that if I had the bread in my house, I would probably eat an entire loaf in one day so it’s probably best that I don’t know where I can buy it. I’ve considered asking the management at Red Onion who their bread supplier is so that I can buy some to bring home. I am in love with this rich, nutty bread. For lunch, I typically order the ROC Chicken Salad Sandwich, made with crunchy grapes, celery, and walnuts, and served on buttery grilled whole-grain bread. It’s a happy veggie burger!īecause I’ve eaten at Red Onion so many times over the years, I’ll tell you about a few more of my favorite items here. Without the distractions of familial responsibilities, I was able to really see the restaurant for the gem that it is.Ĭheck out the pickle-tomato-and-onion smiley face on her bread. Recently, I left my family at home and joined my friends for a rare girlfriend getaway dinner at Red Onion. The casual, urban atmosphere at Red Onion makes it adaptable for any kind of dining experience, from a date night to a business lunch, a girlfriend getaway to a family meal (regarding that – a quick thank you to all of the Red Onion servers who patiently waited on my fidgety, sometimes boisterous, toddlers over the years). Thanks, Red Onion Cafe, for making me feel appreciated as a citizen. In such a fickle industry, owning a successful restaurant since 1995 says, “We’ve figured out the magic formula! We’ve listened to you, our people, and we honor you by serving you the quality food that you want.”

When a restaurant has been in operation for longer than the length of time that I’ve lived in Joplin (which is now almost two decades), that says something.
