“HUGE shout out to our amazing Fairlane Diner! Last night on our way home from a basketball game in Nokomis we decided to call and order Fairlane Diner for dinner. We did not realize they closed at 8pm and had dialed the phone at 7:55pm, the friendly woman answering the phone politely took our order and it was hot and fresh when we arrived at 8:15pm! Thanks so much!!“

“Great place for lunch. Outdoor seating option. The chef always comes around to talk to his customers. Rick is a great server.“

“I had a host of family come visit from out of town. I ordered 50 piece wings from California Kitchen, it came with fries and 2 cans of pop. I was told 15 minutes for pick up and did not check the food prior to leaving. The chicken was fried very hard and wasn't good. I didn't call until the next morning and spoke to a manager. The manager was pleasant and very understanding. I was able to bring back the chicken from the previous day and recieved a full new 50 piece meal for my visiting family. He even asked if I wanted to keep the order that was messed up. Amazing customer service and the food was really good. I would always order from them, they really know how to treat their customers!! The new location is great too!.“

“Been coming to Cook’s since I worked across the street at camp Lincoln years upon years ago. Went back today for the first time in several years. The quality, freshness, quick, and friendly service was EXACTLY how I remember. Their whole grain bread is to die for. I don’t get to this side of town as often as I used to, but it is absolutely worth stopping in. Definitely one of Springfield’s hidden gems!“

“Had the hamburger with 2 slices of cheese. Was a Terrible! Burger tasted like a frozen patty and was small. Highly overrated and overpriced.“

“Owners are nice but when they first opened I was hired as a busser and after a couple of weeks they said they didn’t have enough business so they would call me when they needed me and they never did then when I went to pick up my last check they acted like I never worked there….. they could have just properly fired me instead of acting like I didn’t exist.“

“We have been here twice now and both times it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is nice, the food is delicious, and the service is awesome! We will be back!“

“This place is amazing. It's a fun, local place with great food and friendly staff. I recommend their horseshoe. There was moderate noise from the music for lunch with the music, which really adds to the atmosphere.“

“Great service. Very sweet waitress and great food. Will return.“

“My pregnant fiancé was craving fried pickles & since they are a 5 min drive away from us we always choose silver 7s not only the good food but the welcoming atmosphere it was 3 mins until kitchen closed & we informed the waitress we can go find something else we didn’t want to be a bother she didn’t let us leave without a meal & was very reassuring that it was no big deal ! Thank you silver 7s for serving my family with great food every single visit.“

“was an incredible experience from start to finish. The turkey burger was absolutely amazing—hands down the best I’ve ever had. It was juicy, flavorful, and completely unique. The egg rolls we had as an appetizer were just as impressive, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. What really stood out, though, was the service. Victoria Hall was fantastic. Even though I’m not a wine drinker, she took the time to explain the wines and menu in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. Her recommendations were spot-on and really helped make the whole experience top-notch. If you’re in the area, I can’t recommend this place enough. Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing service—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Victoria as your server.“

“Easter online order was delicious and easy to heat up and serve.“

“As a small business owner, I love trying new local spots — and Aunt Lou’s absolutely did not disappoint. It was so delicious and had that sweet nostalgia of the days when you’d buy a plate from a friend and sit around the table way too long. We ordered the fried chicken breast dinners with cabbage, mashed potatoes & brown gravy, plus red beans and rice with cornbread on the side. We also tried the fried deviled eggs (these SURPRISED us — and we immediately wished we’d ordered more!) and the Chicago-style wings — breaded, tossed, all flats. So freakin’ good. We’ll definitely be back. If you’ve been looking for your next local comfort and soul food fix, this is the place!“

“Excellent local restaurant with friendly staff and entertainment on weekends!! Chris Camp and Blues Ambassadors tonight!!“

“Fantastic breakfast. The secret to a top-shelf Horseshoe is the gravy; quite simply this is the best I’ve ever had. Flavorful with a touch of kick, perfect consistency. Egg sandwich was also a hit. All dishes had a LOT of meat. Friendly and professional server. Great location. Highest recommendation.“

“perfect service. the lady was working by herself and kept up with 20 plus people!“

“It was delicious. Staff was amazing!! We will be going back more often.“

“We always have great food and service when attending, worth the wait!“

“I get my lunch from here just about daily and for a few reasons. The staff are very welcoming and the quality of the food is pretty high. I am a big fan of their chicken and cheddar wraps! There are lots of free toppings to add to any sandwich or wrap. They load up all my toppings and the wrap still stays together nicely.

They used to serve organic fountain juices - I'm hoping those come back soon!“

“We’re regulars here. Always the best!“

“Great food, great service!“

“It gets busy for a reason!!
Top level soul food, diner style atmosphere, very friendly vibe from staff.
Yummmmmmm 🤩
It's a favorite when I have the time. If you don't have 45+ minutes to wait and eat there, there are some items in their hot case ready to go, so you can do take out. You can also preorder online :)“

“went there tonight for dinner and was so pleasantly surprised....everything I got was delicious except the bourbon chicken too sweet for me but definitely loved the steak ham clam chowder baked potato fried chicken grilled BBQ chicken and fried shrimp yum yum yum“

“having amazing servers, like Zain, Trish, Kris, Kayla, Tammy, Jamieka, and Viv, who remember details, and always having a good time. I tell people about this place all the time. :)“

“Prices are really affordable, much better than most chains, and the pastries are always amazing. I love the apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and the blueberry donuts the best. The scones are a nice treat as well!

Coffee is really great, one of the few places in the area that doesn't overwhelm the lattes with tons of sugar.“

“First time back in 6 years after moving to Tennessee and I must say new owner Todd and his staff are phenomenal and continue to keep it a very welcoming, neighborhood, friendly place with excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommend this place and keep up the great work! I will be coming back every time I come to town!“

“I gave 4 stars for the food because my salad wasn’t like the menu read. It was all iceberg lettuce. I would not have ordered it. Iceberg lettuce is good for like a sandwich instead of bread.The chicken and ranch was delicious. $15.50 is a lot for iceberg lettuce.“

“Very friendly staff, clean, pleasant and the manager Shakaib was very professional. He was running food, helping clean up spilled drinks and overall just a pleasant person. This was my first time at this location. The moment we walked in everyone was nice and helpful. Our food was hot, fresh and brought to our table. It was very nice.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“We found this jewel by accident and go back whenever we are in Spfld. We live 60+ miles away but enjoy the food, the smiles, warm welcome AND the prices are awesome too!! 5 stars“

“Great food, everything was spot on. Server Eliana was as good as we could ask for.“

“Can’t believe this place isn’t packed out all weekend! Great food and atmosphere!“

“We had our son's college graduation party in their private room. The taco bar was delicious and plentiful. The service was fantastic. Vanessa took great care of us and didn't miss a beat. I highly recommend them for your next party.“

“Genuinely so delicious. Was recommended this place but a local and I'm so glad the husband and I stopped in. We got a caramel marshmallow latte thing that tasted like campfire toasted marshmallows, but we were there specifically because we wanted pastries. He got a Danish and I got the triple very muffin and honestly both were absolutely divine. I love a blueberry muffin as it is, but theirs are so soft and they don't slump even a little on the very flavor. The Danish was delightfully flaky and filled with a praline sort of filling, which was just the right amount of sweet. Highly recommend getting your baked goods warmed as well! Well be coming here again next time we're in Springfield“

“Great hang out spot thats nice and low key with amazing bartenders!“

“Never had a bad experience and the food is amazing! 10/10 recommend!“

“Great food and service . Cold beer good music“

“Fantastic dive bar run by a 98 year old veteran who’s been in business for over 40 years. Great dive bar atmosphere. Louie is a great guy who’s in love with Marylin Monroe and will chat with anyone. He says business has been slow lately. Beers $2 each. Stop in and give Louie some business. You’ll be glad you did.“

“Went for the first time on Friday, September 10, 2021 and was very glad I went. I had been told of the place and had just not gone. The food was very good, the staff were friendly and helpful. As well, the other customers were welcoming to someone new in their midst. Thank for a great experience, as I will be back.“

“Service was good on a fairly busy day. Pretty typical menu choices. But, all were prepared well. Notable for the local tradition of an open-face sandwich, the horse shoe. Nothing fancy , but housed in a cool-looking building. Prices are reasonable. For lunch, very good option for small town Springfield, IL., up the road from the Lincoln Museum.“
