“I can honestly say Vele is the best fine dining experience I’ve ever had. The service, the food, everything is consistently incredible every single time we go. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it is so worth it. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and I’ve never had anything less than amazing service. Every dish I’ve tried has been absolutely divine. The Filet Mignon is my favorite and is 10/10 every single time. I celebrated a friend’s birthday there last night, and it was just another perfect experience. We had Shane as our waiter (again!), and he is always fantastic, attentive, fun, and truly great at what he does. I actually worked with him years ago at another restaurant, and he’s just as wonderful outside of the restaurant as he is there. Vele is lucky to have him, and I feel lucky to have a place like this to keep coming back to.“

“Such a fun place! Big, casual room with plenty of space for small and large groups; and lots of seats outside in summer. People sociably enjoying their beer and their friends and family. Lots of good choices for food, and I can especially recommend the chicken salad croissant.“

“This by far my favorite restaurant in Springfield. I am a frequent customer for both dinner and with coworkers for the lunch buffet. I especially like that the buffet always offers a different dish to try which helps me decided on what I will order from the dinner menu. Food is always freshly prepared and delicious. The service is excellent and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. The servers are attentive. I highly recommend Gateway to India.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing food, coffee, and service. I am in a wheelchair and took my 19 year old son in for breakfast on a Saturday. He got the XL cinnamon roll and a cinnamon latte and I got a sausage fritatta and a chocolate cherry latte. When we arrived there was someone waiting to get the door for us and once we ordered and sat down, everything was brought out to our table. There was a 20 minute wait on the cinnamon roll but boy was it worth it. We will definitely be back again and I will be recommending this place to everyone I know. 🥰💜“

“I stopped by the drive-thru for the first time yesterday. I ordered the gyro plate. It is easily enough food for two people. It was fresh and tasty. The fries were crisp and they reheated well the next day. I absolutely plan to make this place a regular stop!“

“Hadn't been here in years. Menu is still much the same. We both had crab rangoon, my wife had vegetarian Bume (dry), and I had Sen Rad Na. All were excellent - fresh and hot. Thai food is usually spicy, but we ordered it mild. Perfect for our tastes.“

“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.“

“My name is Mike Lawrence. I began coming to Joe’s when it was still located in a somewhat decrepit house located just one door west of the building it’s now in. The front porch on that old house was loose and would bounce or sag a bit when you walked across it and my joke to guests I took in there with me, was they should carefully walk around that bad spot when we left because we’d all be heavier from having eaten and would probably fall through.
My daughter lost her first baby tooth while eating Spaghetti at Joe’s. She’s now 43 so, yeah, we’ve been coming for decades; certainly since the days when Joe Porcasi ran it.
All the food was great and, through all those years, I NEVER heard anyone say anything bad about the food, the service, the price, nothing … until now.
I guess it’s to be expected, especially in the food industry. Over time people weary of doing the same job day after day, get tired of serving the same food to the same people. Pride in performance gives way to pet peeves and personal pity parties. Oh, I get it. I do.
The reviews I read now talking about bad service, bad food, no longer being able to dine in … none of that would EVER have been true back in the day. Back when we came and sat down, talked, laughed, took in the awesome smells, and delighted when the food came. Even standing up to get the door for someone exiting with boxes of pizzas and more to take home to loved ones. Man, those were the best of times.
When we first found Joes, we didn’t go to any other shop in town. Why, when you’d found the best, would you want to go anywhere else?
We had even talked, briefly, with the original owners about opening a franchise on the east side of Springfield. Wish we’d carried through with that instead of opening a restaurant. Ah, well.
I don’t know if it’s still there, but I donated a kitchen chef statue to Joe’s when Jeff bought the place. Used to be right up on the counter.
I live in St. Louis now but, from time to time, when I long for one of Joe’s pizzas, or meatball subs, or lasagnas … and it’s only a 200 mile round trip but, frankly, some of the reviews have kinda bummed me out about doing it.
Ah, well. We’ll see.“

“We've never had a bad meal here and a special shout out to Jackie, who may be the best waitstaff person I've ever had in my life. She stopped and chatted with us and seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say. She chatted with us when we came here with a larger group. She's waited on us more than once. She anticipates your needs and asked if we'd like more sauce on the pasta. I love the baked ravioli in spicy marinara and my husband gets the spaghetti and meatballs. The people who seem to dislike the place make me wonder if we're talking about the same place.“

“Took the family there for Sunday lunch buffet. First time there and all the food was very good. One in our party doesn't like to eat buffet, so got a tasty freshly cooked shrimp dish. Everything on the buffet was very good. Will definitely return.“

“Got the shrimp lo mein with pork fried rice lunch special from here. The noodles were bussin with flavor they were cooked well and the shrimp were decent too. The side was the pork fried rice which was just right as well. The juice from the noodles soaked into the rice making each bite even better. Overall the meal was an 8.7, was surprised by the solid meal I got here and will return when I'm back in the area.“

“We went there for lunch on Sunday, the food was OK. Nothing to brag about but not bad either. However, when I checked my bank statement I seen the waitress tacked on an extra $4 tip for herself After we left her a $20 tip in cash on a $65.69 tab. I always write cash in the tip area of the receipt for this reason but she still did it! So watch your receipts, they have at least one dishonest waitress!!“

“We chose Bella Milano for our wedding reception. The Tuscan Room was absolutely perfect for our group (around 45 people). The restaurant was so easy to work with, and they were great about communicating with me throughout every step of the process. The servers were wonderful and attentive. Management checked on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was running smoothly. Most of all, the food was absolutely phenomenal! Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. I’m so glad we chose Bella Milano for our special day. They really are the best kept secret for a small wedding in Springfield.“
