Menu for Sandstone Gardens in Joplin, MO

My wife and I travel the 80 miles from Springfield to Joplin every so often to visit this place because we love the Bistro. The... people are awesome and the food is great! We like to browse the décor section and have bought quite a few seasonal items overthe years. However, the staff in that area is very unfriendly and make it difficult to purchase things. We bought an item lastweek and when my wife opened it at home, again 80 miles away, it was defective. She called the store and they showed no concernthat it was inconvenient and costly for us to travel there and said we had to return it to exchange. We drove the 80 milestoday and the one they had set back for us to exchange was also defective. The manager came over and was very condescending andrude and said to give us a gift card. I said absolutely not, I wanted a refund. She said it was store policy and I said Ididn't care, at which she got ruder yet, and they grudgingly credited my card. I was appalled at how rude and uncaring thismanager was. Apparently, they don't understand that they survive on their customer's money. They won't get any more of mine! Read more

Nice place but the staff are extremely rude and degrading to the customers. They followed us around like we were criminals and... inserted themself into a private conversation. I brought a small concrete statue to the check out and was told they were onlyfor display (maybe the staff person following us COULD have told us!) but then proceeded to ring up and wrap the "display"statue. They must be able to stay in business with one time out of town customers because I can't believe anyone would endurethat type of treatment more than once. Read more

Excellent stop when traveling. Very nice cafe with great menu of salads, soups, entrees, sandwiches & specials. Sometimes run... out of specials. Wonderful, unique, large decor items. Can find good priced items & furniture, but lots of high-end pieces thatcost a pretty penny as well. Need to take your time to browse carefully & you will find something you can't live without orreplicate for DIY @ home & save $. LOVE this place. Read more

My family and I love coming to this magical place. I first came with my mom during their Christmas showcase and it was... absolutely beautiful! Recently I took my husband back as we were on the hunt for a new fountain for the front of our home. Theirprices on medium sized fountains are unbeatable! (Compared to the Henri fountain we have in our backyard) The only downside isthat many fountains have to be made to order and can take up to 3 weeks. We live 4 hours away. But that didn?t stop us!

Loved the smells of the greenery and especially the food. They have so many beautiful treasures to look at and the Bistro was... amazing. The waitress was really knowledgeable in the delicious food offerings and was very attentive. Finally someone whoknows how to cook good food. Thank you!!! Read more
