“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!“
“We used Arlington's for our wedding venue and we could not recommend them enough! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was on time and so delicious! All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue is. If you're looking for a venue that is easy to work with, affordable, and accommodating, Arlington's is the place. Ebben was wonderful through the whole planning process!“
“HIGHLY recommend! We had our wedding reception here and it was the absolute perfect day. Very reasonably priced, wonderful venue, easy to work with, out of this world food! I could go on and on. The Poe's are wonderful to work with (we were out of state during the planning process and they made it so easy on us). We got so many compliments on the venue and the food!“
