Restaurants near Dupo

“I was just there last month for the Friday night buffet in Springfield, IL. It was TERRIBLE! The chicken and pizza were brought out fresh but everything else was so terribly bad, I don't know where to start. The sides like, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, and gravy were old and room temperature. They weren't even warm! And to be clear, I arrived when the buffet opened. In fact, the staff were late getting the food out and myself and three other tables had to wait 15 minutes after paying and sitting down to start. The salad bar? The dressings had old crusted/gummed dressing all over the sides of the containers. How easy would it have been to put dressing in new containers after refrigerating them from the night before? Most of the containers in the salad bar were nearly empty and again, were obviously left over from the last buffet. The ice cream machine was broken and making an annoyingly loud humming noise throughout the dining room. There were NO cookies, which used to be warm and gooey. The ONLY dessert on the buffet was pizza dough sprinkled with cinnamon. And yes. That was difficult to chew and over cooked. The carpet in the dining room is black from foot traffic, but worse was the bathroom. One stall had no toilet paper and the stall doors, sinks, and toilet paper dispenser were smudged with God knows what. I was sat at a table looking in the direction of the bathrooms and watched customer after customer come out and go straight to the woman at the front counter to complain. I used to love this location, the food, and the overall experience. I watched as people complained about the sides not being warm, the bathrooms, and the ice cream machine that was broken. The staff blamed the shift before them and said, "I walked into work to find this." They apologized and also told us that the manager went home. To whomever owns this location, I understand that business owners struggle and that good staff can be difficult to obtain or hire. Equiptment breaks down and needs repairs. But, cleanliness and the food not being warm or even placed in fresh containers is laziness. If you care about your business, be present. Show up. Pick up a mop bucket, get in the kitchen, and practice a standard that respects the good people who give you their money. This establishment used to be clean. The buffet used to be amazing. I know they are capable. please start caring again.”

“absolutely amazing food and very friendly staff”

“Stopped by with a friend. The bartender Liana is phenomenal!! Found a new drink that I fancy now! Ordered a pizza and it was mighty good, for being bar pizza. Would definitely say if you're in the area, stop by. It's a nice little quaint place.”

“Really nice guy working and large sized tropical snow but really lacked in flavor syrup. Please use more so that it doesn't just taste like ice 😊”

“Great atmosphere, AMAZING BARTENDERS,Affordable, Great Music and Friends.”

“Coldest beer, best food around!”

“you need to change the town to Dupo, IL on your page. Great chopped salad.”

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!”

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants for lunch or pizza take-out. My top picks: little gem salad, toscano or trout sandwich, blueberry lemon soda, and soft pretzel with butter. For dinner, their pepperoni and spinach pizzas are my faves. Their chocolate chip cookies are also amazing!”

“Came here for the first time today and it was absolutely phenomenal will definitely be back asap.”

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!”

“I had dinner w friends for my birthday. The waiter, Jordan, was great. Food was great! Sound level at 7 pm was over the top, and the piped in music just made it even harder to talk. I hope they do something for this problem: it’s an acoustic issue, and easily fixed if they consulted someone.”

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.”

“Easily one of the top restaurants to try in STL. The dishes were well executed and the service timed everything perfectly. I would love to see the chef have a bit more creative license and split a some more from the upscale American tradition. Also... may need some more acoustic treatment for the space. But overall, it was a fun experience.”

“Excellent anchovy toast, and the shrimp was succulent and flavorful. The veal meatballs were dry and not seasoned well. I highly recommend the lemoncello tiramisu. It was moist, light and refreshing. Excellent spot for dinner and drinks with friends or a date.”

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!”

“Fantastic dining experience!”

“Getting up the ramp with a wheelchair ♿ is a little awkward. It's on the opposite side from where people line up during busy days. Otherwise the food and the fast service itself was great and highly recommended.”

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!”

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.”

“Delicious smoothies friendly service thank you 😊”

“Grilled ham and cheese was fantastic. Nice thick ham!!! Wife had the chili dog especially liked that it was cut in half and grilled then chili added!!! Our kid devoured the grilled cheese and my mom loved the frito pie!!! Whenever we are in the area we will stop in again!! Staff very accommodating and friendly!!!!”

“Food was excellent, service was great! Our bartender was awesome!”

“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ”

“Any adjective to describe their ribs is an understatement!!!”

“On our condensed Route 66 trip and we did not want to miss this! There is so much to pick from! You order outside and they have benches right outside the parking area to sit. There is also a gift shop right across the parking lot. I got a concrete mixer of chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry, and I added hazelnuts. It was so good! Don't miss out on this historical gem!”

“This place is sooo cute! Service was super fast and sweet! And the food was delicious! I got a poke bowl and my sister got a burrito and they were wonderful❤ 10/10!”

“I’m 78, travelled the world and these are the very best noodles and noodle dishes I have ever had. I doubt I will ever eat ramin or udon ever again. This is not a fancy sit down restaurant, it’s a Japanese noodle restaurant or social bar. The young lady receptionist/waitress was very welcoming and helpful. The cooks are hard working and friendly. The selection is somewhat limited but just the kind of meals you will want to try again and again. 一番 Ichiban. (# 1)”

“I want to extend my deep gratitude to the great Hostess last Saturday afternoon who kindly went above and beyond her responsibilities not only as a host but as a human being by letting me (offering!) charge my lon foot and had a dead phone. It was about 4 pm and the place was slightly busy (almost outside full and inside) but not much else was around the area so my hunch and restaurant experience tells me they’re doing everything right: good food, good prices and good staff. The atmosphere is inviting, unpretentious and sort of a homey, cozy n stylish flair. I would’ve rather stayed and ate but thankfully the hostess helped me on my way. thank you for helping and not being annoyed when I asked for directions twice! (Also,”
