Mr. Clark’s Barbecue and Catering

  4.5 – 613 reviews   • Hamburger restaurant

Social Profile:

At Mr. Clark’s, barbecue is more than a recipe—it’s a legacy. It started as a humble burger joint called Trackside. But over time, Chef Mike—known to many as Mr. Clark—realized he wanted to create something bigger. Something that didn’t just feed people but brought them together. With the unwavering support of his wife and the inspiration of his three amazing kids, what began as a kitchen dream turned into a community table. Every brisket we smoke, every batch of pulled pork we shred, every pan of scratch-made mac and cheese we whip up carries that same intention: to make you feel at home.

OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! I came in with my partner and we’re new to the area, he’s had his eye on this place and I’m so glad he suggested it. The young man that took our order was very polite although a little unknowledgeable of the menu, idk if he’s new so I can’t hold that against him at all, he did great. I got the BLT and sweet potato fries, holy cow I was sooo pleased when he brought this to our table. It tasted even better than it looks, if you can imagine. The portions are perfect for the price and I definitely am coming back here just for the fries alone!! There’s plenty of indoor seating and they have condiments right by the counter. The 2 ladies working back of house made our food literally to perfection I just wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. You GOTTA come here

One of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. I will come back here every time I visit Joplin. The onion rings while not rings are amazing. The service was nice and friendly and fast.

Went in there with a friend today for lunch and got a double cheeseburger combo and it was excellent! Best burger in joplin. The fries were delicious as well. Had plenty of seasonings to choose from for your fries as well. And definitely ask for sauces, their ranch and fry sauce were amazing. If you do come you better bring a big appetite, because I’m a big dude and I struggled with finishing it.

Great burgers! Cooked with a slight pink center but they will cook well if ordered. Everything tastes fresh and the fries are good as well. I do think the Cajun fries could have had a little more pop but a very satisfying experience! As for the atmosphere it has a nice though back vibe and was amazingly clean!

The best cheese burger, (pork belly burger) I’ve ever had, and I’ve been all over the US. Not only was the burger amazingly cooked, but so filling too. That usually means to my belly that it’s real food! The loaded sweet potato fries are to die for and large enough to share with the whole family. Chicken tenders were tender and the fried pickles werent too salty for once…must try with the track sauce. You will not be dissatisfied with anything they make. The whole staff was inviting, friendly, happy, and loved answering our questions. Side note: go after Wednesday, if you want availability to all their menu options for BBQ ETC.

Trackside has just opened in Joplin with a new owner. I’m not basing any reviews before they reopened this week on this new location in Joplin.

The location is not the best part of town, but the inside is clean and nice. The employees were helpful and I like that the menu was not over complicated.

I got a single with bacon and cheddar and BBQ fries. The burger came in a container not a grease covered wrapper which I appreciate. The patty is good sized; I’m not sure why I was expecting a smash burger but this was definitely not that. The bacon was chopped and delicious, I almost never see it offered that way.
The fries were covered completely in seasoning and were tasty.

My partner got and double with no bacon and the garlic parm fries. He enjoyed both but had the same small complaints I did. The bun seemed overly large and was overly greasy, more so than even the patty. And the patty itself could use some seasoning; salt, mainly.

Overall the food was really good. I’ll definitely be going back for burgers and I hope to maybe see BBQ in the future. Definitely top 3 for burgers in Joplin. I don’t even count places like 5 Guys lol.

First time here. My husband and I had the special of the day; The Lumberjack. An amazing hamburger! The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is basic, but lively. The customers can watch the crew make the orders.

On a side note, I was very pleased to see that the Ice Cream Factory has spot in the establishment.

Just a great place!

We went to Trackside Burgers today with our grandson Braiden and his little sister. Braiden does this work program from school for special needs kids to learn job skills, and they’ve been really great to him there. As soon as we walked in, they greeted us all so warmly. We ordered our food, and it was made fresh and tasted really good. We had already started eating before I remembered to take pictures.

Onion rings were the best onion rings I’ve ever had. The batter they use is crunchy and tangy and unique.

The portion sizes are HUGE, I’m talking like 5-6 inch diameter burgers. The Impossible Burger is EXTREMELY convincing, almost 1:1 replica of a real patty and we had to go back in and ask if it was really the Impossible patty . If you’re on your veg journey this would be a great place to start

Price wise, it may be a dollar or two too expensive for the quality you get. No problems with the burger, just nothing spectacular. Not really the freshest feeling as the grease kind of sits with you, which is why we had to save the rest for later, but hey, that’s kind of to be expected if you’re getting a burger after all, right?

I’d say if you’re looking for something to satisfy that carnal, visceral craving for a greasy, juicy burger, this is definitely your spot. Sorry health-conscious folks, you’ll have to sit out on this one

This place is incredible. Family owned and operated with AMAZING taste in music. My daughter wanted a good burger; I mean a big, thick, juicy “nasty” burger , so we went on a hunt and stumbled upon a gold mine of flavor. They place is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We felt more than welcome (despite it being close to closing time) ..we felt appreciated. The guy at the front counter was informative and guided us through our order (and was rigjt about everything he suggested ). THE COOK EVEN CAME OUT AND ASKED US HOW EVERYTHING WAS. Because we tyoically come to Joplin to go somewhere on Rangeline, we are thankful to have found them oit on 10th. It was A WONDERFUL experience. We are SO glad we didnt go to 5 Guys, or Red Robins!! You HAVE to check this place out. Yum Yum!! You won’t be disappointed.
