MJ's Fish and Chicken Express 716 E Enos Ave, Springfield Fish & Chips • $$
716 E Enos Ave, Springfield

“This is, bar none, the BEST food in Springfield IL! Margaret the owner and her husband Jerome have created a restaurant in a beautiful and quiet corner of Springfield that offers the best food you will taste not just in this city but in this entire area. Part of the reason is that Margaret trained as a chef at a prestigious cooking school in North Carolina and has spent years perfecting her recipes. But more importantly, it’s that their standards of excellent food are upheld with every single dish they send out to their customers. Every single time I go there, for years now, the food is just as excellent as the first day. And when Margaret encourages me to try new dishes, they are FANTASTIC TOO! Love, care, skill and hard work make a difference in every profession and business. But at MJs, you can literally TASTE it. If you’re in the area on a trip, or if you’re a local who’s never popped by, don’t be fooled by the humble exterior. It’s beautiful and very clean inside. Don’t be chased off by the small amount of parking, there’s a public park across the street with free parking! And don’t mistake the quiet humility of both Margaret and Jerome. They are EXPERTS of their craft. And if you come to MJs or have them cater an event for you you’ll taste that for yourself!”

“A couple months ago my wife and I were in Springfield, IL and, just by chance, found Roots Latin Grill. I had the Lomo Saltado for dinner, and it was delicious!We were back in Springfield recently and had lunch at Roots. We had two cheese Tostones and a beef Tostone for starters. The cheese Tostones were very good, but the beef Tostone was great! For our main courses, we had Pincho (marinated steak, fantastic seasoning, stuck on a skewer, and grilled) and Camarones al Ajillo (garlic shrimp).Both items were very flavorful and delicious! The servings were generous and ample. Service was excellent.Lunchtime was not crowded, and we were seated right away. On the other hand, the place fills up for dinner. Get there early for dinner or make a reservation.The food is excellent, flavorful, and well prepared. We'll be back in Springfield and will definitely head to Roots for a meal. Highly recommended with two thumbs up!!!”

“Let me share this: I cannot stress enough how picky of an eater I am. I grew up eating from scratch and I now cook from scratch as adult. This place met my standards! The waiter Micheal was good! The lollipop lamb chops were Excellent. If I had to give a downside, perhaps a touch more polenta. My husband had the pasta with alfredo sauce. That dish was too salty.Other than that good. Dinner guests had the steak bites with the orzo; they raved over the dish! We all shared the oysters, they loved it. If I had to critique, they’re not Rockefeller, as there’s no spinach, but they were fine. Also, a few more shakes needed prior to serving their version of the dirty martini. The dinner guests also, enjoyed the cocktail with the foam on top. You won’t be disappointed with this choice. This fancy dinner was worth the 3 hour drive and we’ll have happy memories of dining with are good friends thanks to Vele and Micheal for a lifetime!!!”

My family said it was absolutely fantastic and filling and the white cheese was excellent as always! I had two margaritas which were made it a little more golden than I am used too.There were 3 of us who ordered fajitas and they continued to sizzle and burn on the skillet and if you weren't quick enough the food will burn which made me kinda sad...Other than that.

“I ordered the meat lover's bowl which was chock full of bacon, eggs, chorizo, American fries, and cheddar cheese. Really filling. I washed it down with OJ. My wife had the largest piece of bread pudding I've ever seen, covered with whipped cream and caramel. The two of us couldn't finish it and took the remainder home for dessert this evening. Everything was excellent. A different breakfast than the usual. Nice staff.2/20/24 update: Went for breakfast because we wanted something other than the usual fare. My wife had a large French toast muffin and tea. I had Papo's oatmeal which had bananas and strawberries and honey drizzle -- delicious -- and a blueberry parfait with their in house granola -- also delicious. We'll be back.”

“Village Tea Room did not disappoint! I went with some friends to celebrate the holiday, and everyone really enjoyed their meal!! The lobster bisque and lemon meringue pie were absolutely amazing!! My sandwich was also really good, but a little light on the cheese and heavy on the apple butter. My only complaint was that it took a long time to get our food. But they were very busy and the food was worth the wait! For being in the Midwest, I can't believe how good the bisque is!”

“MCL is our go to place. I gave our experience 4 stars due to the cinnamon rolls not as good as usual and other items not to the quality we are used to. The employees were awesome. They had a group who where in the back room that obliterated a lot of the food items. So, we had to wait for a few items to come out which was not a big deal. Roast beef was good, mashed potatoes and gravy great, macaroni and cheese was a little gritty. The cinnamon roll did not have very much cinnamon filling on it. Basically it was dry. Not like the regular cinnamon rolls like we got in the past. Tea was a little watered down too. Overall, good experience and good food. Definitely will go back.”

“The Feed Store gets a lot of hate because it's not "the same." I can't attest to its past, I can only rate its present. I love their chicken salad sandwich. And their soups are delicious. They hire developmentally delayed people which I love, they do a great job and are friendly and work hard. Yes, it is outdated but that is part of its charm. Usually not busy at all at lunch. Reasonably priced.”

“We were visiting Springfield with our kids and our 5 month old granddaughter. When we arrived the waiter offered us a free mojito because the air conditioner was slow to get going and it was really hot outside. Turned out the air conditioner was not working at all and the baby was over heating so bad the parents had to take her in the lobby to cool off and we had to take our kids food to go. For a $400 dinner it would have been nice if they were honest with us and said they had no air conditioning in the restaurant. Food was delicious and the waiter was pleasant but too hot.”

“The food was tasty and well made. The chimichangas were smaller than other restaurants in town, but were still worth the price. I had chicken and shrimp. The shredded chicken was delicious. The shrimp was mildly overcooked, but was seasoned well. The chimichangas came with pico de gallo, refried beans, and rice. I also ordered guacamole which was rich and creamy. It contained unmashed pieces of avocado which lead to some refreshing textural contrast.”

“There were no cars in the drive thru when I got there and was told to pull up to wait for my order after paying. Two more cars showed up and the first was also told to pull up while the second one stayed at the window. Employee hands a bag of food out the window to the 3rd car then after a moment the driver of that car flags the employee down and hands the bag with all the food in it back to the employee. They talk for a second then the employee walks out the door and walks up and hands it to me? I wasn't really worried about it but who hands food into a vehicle to where they open it all up only to realize it's not theirs then proceeds to hand it to another customer? Also, it was quite expensive for what I got.”

The service is hit-or-miss depending on who helps you but its really never been the friendliest place to order from. My most recent order was hot & ready in the 45 minutes quoted and the young man who brought the order out was very nice. While they make a solid pizza with good crust and a sweeter sauce, don't pass over the lasagna - it is delicious!”
