“The food is AMAZING and 🤤“

“After moving to the area, Nosh Café and Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to enjoy brunch in Springfield. They offer a fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan options which can sometimes be hard to find. Additionally, the atmosphere is both fun and relaxing with consistently friendly and welcoming staff. If you like to read or are looking for a new cookbook, Nosh has quite the selection of books available for purchase.

My personal recommendations:
- Nosh the Rainbow Sandwich
- Namaste Burger
- Falafel Burger
- Any of their pastries
- Seasonal Coffees - Current Fave: Salted Caramel Oatie“

“We ended up here due to our intended restaurant being closed. It was the BEST mistake ever. The food was amazing! Everything came out hot and fresh. Julie (the owner) answered all our questions about the restaurant, shared her and her husband's story and it truly felt like we were dining with family. We had the brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, potatoes, yams and garlic chicken. And then Julie brought us churros for Cinco de Mayo! It was hard to pick just one meal off this menu. I wish my conference was longer so I had another night to come back and try more. Don't miss out on a great meal if you are in town.NOTE: BYOB so grab your favorite bottle of wine or liquor to enjoy.“

“Great food great people , love this place“

“Krispy Krunchy Chicken, 190 E. Eau Gallie Blvd., Indian Harbor Beach, FL 32937 You 4 Stars (chain restaurant review) Instead of going for a quick Burger or Taco, why not mix it up a bit and head over to your local KKC and change up the routine? Yes, I said KKC, not KFC. The one my random name generator directed me to in Indian Harbor Beach, FL, is 1 of over 2,700 locations across 47 of these United States and some in Malaysia and American Samoa, mainly in convenience stores and gas stations. This one beachside is super clean and, well, beachside. As I stepped up to the counter, I was greeted by Ryan. He is the counter specialist and cook as well. Ryan has a fetching personality and was exceedingly helpful as we placed our order. I ordered some Honey Biscuits, Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish and some Cajun Chicken Tenders. Ryan excused himself to the kitchen while we sat and snapped a few pictures of the place. As I said, it is clean enough to pass any white glove test. I thought it would be nice if the tables had a virginal to pass the time when Ryan indicated our order was up. If a place is advertising hand-breaded chicken, their biscuits better not be the Sysco plug-n-play variety and these weren't. They were obviously made to order and outstanding on the palate. Baked to a perfect golden brown, these were warm, flaky and drizzled in honey. I would rate the biscuits at 4.5 Stars and these are worth the trip all by themselves. They would also make a great after-school/work/errand snack. Next, I took a sampling of the Fried Shrimp. This was nothing to write home about but nothing to scoff at either. The shrimp were of a good size and deep fried to a pleasing color, just missing a little "oomph" to push them over a slightly above-average rating of 3 Stars. Moving on, I set my peepers on the Fried Fish. If the Fried Shrimp was slightly above average, the Fried Fish was slightly below. The Fish had an ever so light fishy taste and as we all know, it shouldn't. The Fried Fish, by itself, would have a meager 2-star rating. This brings me to the final item in my order, the Cajun Chicken Tenders. I went with the 6 PCs, which is a good thing I did as they weren't long for the table! How could you go wrong with hand-breaded breast tenders in a savory coating with tasty dipping sauces? The Tenders were deep fried to a model color and doneness that would make Gordon Ramsay say, "Now, that's an Effin' chicken tender!" If I were just rating the Tenders, this would be a 4.5 Star review all day, every day. As it is, I'm sticking with the 4 Star until they get fresher fish. The Big Boy says, "You know you want some, so just give in and go."“

“Our food was absolutely amazing. The service was great! Our mains were surf and turf and the filet and they were perfect.“

“Picks did an outstanding job on dinner last night for Valentines. The steak was cooked perfectly and they accommodated a gluten and dairy allergy with advance notice nicely. The salmon was also great! Service was outstanding and this place is like a hidden gem steps away from MGM Springfield. We even returned for breakfast. They had a great fritta for breakfast. Nothing but the gravy was made with milk or butter.“

“Hidden gem, spfld. Is lucky to have a place like this.“

“Although it’s a restaurant at a hotel (which usually those are mediocre), this place was absolutely great!

We had the Reuben sandwich, the Bridge22 burger, and wings to start - everything was seriously tasty. The wings were perfectly cooked, super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The Reuben hit all the right notes, and the burger with those fried onions was awesome. Great flavors all around and everything came out fresh. Definitely a solid spot if you’re looking for a satisfying bite.

We had a chance to speak with the manager as well for a couple of minuets and he was super nice (our waiter was great as well).“

“Hands down, the best bartender ever, very accurate on making my drink and smiled the entire time, directed me to the bathroom, knows her store. awesome!!“

“Best Baked potato's I have ever had. never a disappoint!“

“Nathan Bill’s is a great spot, and I’m reserving that fifth star for a truly mind‑blowing experience — but this place comes close. The food was good, the atmosphere was even better, and the outdoor seating was the highlight for me. Fewer voices echoing around made the whole meal feel calmer and more enjoyable.

We did try to order avocado for the loaded nachos, and the waiter let us know it wasn’t available. A small disappointment, but everything else we ordered more than made up for it. The appetizers were fantastic — plentiful, fresh, and flavorful. We nearly wiped out the entire tray. The nachos, the wings, and the beer were all on point. Fresh, cold, and exactly what you want when you’re out with good company.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place is exactly what a neighborhood spot should be.

I’ll be back, and I absolutely recommend it. In fact, this is most likely going to be my retirement party location. It’s local, it’s close to MassMutual, and it’s the kind of place where people have no excuse not to show up. I’ve been to a few retirement parties around town, and Nathan Bill’s is a goldmine for that kind of celebration.“

“I used to go here years ago for lunch all the time, haven't been in for a visit in many years. Stopped in June of 2025, WOW! Waitress provided FAST, POLITE and GREAT service. FOOD WAS AMAZING! Had a blueberry pancake, Iced tea, Eggs, Bacon, Home Fries and Rye toast. Large portions, GREAT TASTE, EXCELLENT prices! I will definitely visit more.“

“Ever since I met this couple who are in the restaurant business (over 20 years ago,) I've always been a fan of their food. It's a true family restaurant with the most delicious and fresh food you'll ever taste. Their hospitality is unique and it's what help set them apart from everyone else. If you're from the local Springfield area, you certainly remember the original Olympic Restaurant with Moises & Dania, right? They were the owners to that fabulous restaurant, when it was in it's prime. Now they've returned with El Fogón de Yuyu and it's even better than I remember. I wholeheartedly recommend them. Authentic Dominican 🇩🇴 and Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 flavor. ~ Trikki Trikki“

“The pizza is great here! Especially the chicken bacon ranch pizza. It’s my favorite!
However, The service I would say is not. There is multiple times I have called and they answer and say they are closed or they open later than what the time they have advertised online. It seems like they open and close whenever they feel like it. I called today to order food. They answered and said they were closed today. I asked why does online say they are open. He said. Something came up and we aren’t open til tomorrow. But as I said. This is not the first time this has happened. I’ve called on a Monday. Closed. When online says open. I’ve called on other occasions. And they are like we open at 2. When online says 12.
I get situations happen. Here and there. But with a restaurant, They need to have some more consistency.“

“The meal was good, which was expected as we do like Applebee’s. I did however feel that the portion of app french fries was very tiny. Not sure why or if that change but we do frequent multiple Applebee’s so I thought that was a little odd. With that said the waitress was extremely hospitable very friendly and had a great personality and was very interactive she made up For the dissatisfaction with portion size of the fries. They literally were about 15 fries in a little bowl, which I thought was odd. However, Neyda was amazing and definitely deserves recognition. Would recommend this Applebee’s and her as a server any day. Thank you for a great experience.“

“First time at The Farmers House located in Springfield. The service, food, and staff were all outstanding. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.“

“Ackee and saltfish on Wednesdays. Delicious Seafood Fridays. Fried fish and Bammy and festival..not a meat lover.so I love these days!!!“

“Pleasantly surprised by the amazing meal. Go ahead and let's just put this place on the map for the meatloaf. Its incredible, paired perfectly with mashed potatoes and that amazing gravy. Then they finish you off with an out of this world bread pudding, warm then topped with some ice cream, caramel pecans, be ready for a nap or a walk after. Thank you for the great meal.“

“The staff and management are great. Every time we go the food is spot on. Very rare these days. Keep up the good work Corey. You must take care of your staff because it reflect on way they care and treat the customers . Definitely love coming here.“

“Very good service, very good Hispanic food, highly recommended in the Springfield area, I could say that it is number one 1 in the area 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇩🇴🇩🇴🇱🇷🇱🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇺🇾🇻🇪🇻🇪 🇮🇹🇮 🇹“

“Liberty Pizza is a hole in the wall kind of place. It's mainly geared toward takeout and delivery so don't expect much of an atmosphere. The inside has a very no frills feel.

We ordered the sampler platter which came with mozzarella sticks, wings, and chicken tenders. Everything was pretty good.

The pizza was actually better than I expected. Nothing fancy but definitely a solid pizza that I'd order again.

One thing that surprised me was the pricing. Even though it's a very casual spot, the prices don't really reflect that. It's not inexpensive by any means.

That said, it's still a good place to have nearby. The menu is surprisingly diverse with pizza, grinders, pastas, and plenty of other options, making it an easy choice when everyone wants something different.

Overall, this is a solid neighborhood pizza shop.“

“Very good food and Great Music“

“I eat at El Morro Bakery & Restaurant at least twice a month, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and efficient, and the wait time is always reasonable. It’s one of my favorite places to eat, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!“
