Sandstone Gardens - Joplin

My family and I love coming to this magical place. I came first with my mother during her Christmas show and it was absolutely beautiful! Recently I took my husband back when we were hunting for a new well for the front of our house. Your prices on medium-sized wells are unbeatable! (In comparison to the Henri Brunnen we have in our backyard) The only drawback is that many wells have to be ordered and can last 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 who knows how to cook good food. Thank you!!!

I have not visited there in well over five years. The shop was as interesting as I remembered. Found a bit of statuary to bring home. The restaurant was just as delish as ever. My friends may have enjoyed it more if they could have a gluten free bread available and also more vegetarian choices. The only downside was not the grounds showed that they have not been well cared for.

I went here for the first time this past weekend with several of the ladies in my family to celebrate my aunt's birthday. We shopped and had lunch and LOVED it! Beautiful place! Everyone was super nice and helpful and the food was delicious! And I have to brag on your ranch dressing!! We were all saying how we wanted to spread it on everything we ate! Next time I'm in town, I WILL be buying some to take home! Never tasted anything like it! Thank you for a great afternoon!

I felt compelled to write a review after reading all the bad ones. I visited Sandstone this past weekend with my boyfriend because I wanted him to try the food. He ordered the reuben sandwich and said it was the best sandwich he had ever had. I ordered the chicken salad as always and loved it. The portions are big and everything I 've ever tried there is really good, so the price you pay for it is worth it. I have never had any trouble with the employees there. I only visit once or twice a year and look forward to seeing all of their Christmas stuff each year. The people that wrote the reviews about employees following them must have given them a reason to do such. On our recent visit I noticed they had blocked off the section with the bedroom displays with a notice stating that an employee would have to accompany anyone wanting to browse that area because of customers using it as a changing area for babies, things being stolen, etc. I could not believe that. There are three bathrooms in that place that I know of for customers to use and these people chose a public area with merchandise to do that on? This really isn 't a place for kids anyway. I will continue to visit Sandstone to buy holiday decorations and especially to eat at the bistro. For the people who have complained about this place, maybe you should learn to act appropriately in public and at a retail establishment and you wouldn 't be treated in the horrible manner that you thought you were.
