“Stopped in for a quick meeting and ordered the French Onion Soup which was excellent. I also got the SMOKED chicken wings with the dry rub. These wings were the best wings. Perfectly smoked and then fried; juicy and crispy. I wish I lived closer. I would order these every time.“
“Please be advised that on March 17 a patron of this restaurant had a bad experience. She proceeded to post about it on Facebook and several friends stated they were going to give Root 20 a bad review online. I have no problem with someone sharing their experience, but it’s not fair if people who have never visited write bogus reviews without having, a first-hand knowledge of the restaurant. It’s great to look online and be able to see what others have thought of a restaurant but, sadly, as with all things Internet related, there are some false reviews. I frequently visit route 20 and love the food and the staff. The owners are incredibly generous to , the community both in Wilbraham and Springfield. I am a public school teacher and route 20 has been very generous to my school and others.“
“Went on a Saturday late afternoon and they were not too busy. The main parking lot is a little small, but just behind them is a larger lot. The staff are very friendly and pleasant to talk with. The food was great and seemed like the portions were bigger than most other restaurants. Had a fun time and definitely will be back again.“
“The food here is amazing and the employees are super nice and friendly and they always try to get to know everyone and treat you like family. The place is very clean and well decorated and has a nice vibe to it, and this place is so popular that it's always full of nice people and sometimes you have to make reservation and what's great is they will call and let you know when there's the free spot in everything super amazing. I highly recommend you coming here and checking it out“
“While I may have a bias as a six year server at the Steaming Tender, I am truly blessed to be a part of our team. My fellow servers are genuinely friendly and eager to learn, each bringing their authentic personality and sense of professionalism to the table. Our bartenders mix and match with the best of them, whether you fancy one of our rotating local draft beers, a seasonally curated cocktail, or a classic mocktail for those lighter days, they'll prepare you a beverage that will hit the spot with finesse, know-how, and a great conversation. Our chefs are some of the hardest working people I know, consistently innovating and executing a complex array of well-crafted dishes. They can have a seemingly endless amount of orders coming into their kitchen and still put their hearts and souls into every diner's plate. And the best part is, our dishwashers work seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring you needn't worry about a thing. Steaming Tender is fully family owned and operated and it shows. Our management values input, seeks new ways to expand and improve, and strive to create a positive work environment. Lastly, but certainly not least, the preservation of this historical landmark of Palmer keeps our rich American history alive. I truly believe H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted would be proud. If you appreciate delicious food, delightful service, and a deep dive into local history I encourage you to choo-choo-choose the Steaming Tender.Vegetarian options: Seasonal salads, secret garden veggie burger, basil pomodoroDietary restrictions: Vegan options, gluten free options. Accommodating kitchen.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love watching the trains go by, the birthday song, and sitting in the shoe shine station. The patio in the summer time is always a wow moment as well. Be sure to check out the grounds filled with antique stagecoach, train memorabilia, and genuine 1915 Porter Locomotive.Wheelchair accessibility: Sloped area in the curbing next to the red dining car, beside handicap parking.“
“"I recently visited Tables at the farm and had a wonderful experience. The portions of food were generous and delicious, especially the omelet with peppers, cheese, and ham. The crispy and tasty fries for only $3.00 as a side were a delightful addition to the meal. Though the food took a little while to arrive, the good customer service and pleasant atmosphere made up for it. The clean and inviting environment made me want to come back and try more dishes. I'm looking forward to visiting again in the summer for the patio experience. Overall, a great place to enjoy a satisfying meal!"“
“The food was absolutely on point and felt so fresh. The portions were just the right size to leave you completely satisfied without taking home a doggie bag. The cheeseburger chowder was divine! This is a new favorite spot for my wife and I!“
“Everyone here was great eggcept whoever the blonde girl is. She was extremely rude when she dropped our food off and then minutes later proceeded to fill creamer on the table reaching across our eating space. As someone who waited tables for years I was absolutely appalled.“
“Girly grills, delicious food narrowly Eclipse is the stellar service. A respectful nod to glorious Americana of the past, girly’s Grill brings joy to all who enter there! We enjoyed caramel apple french toast delectable enough to fight over, as well as strawberry waffles & homemade biscuits & gravy. Girly’s Grill is our family’s favorite new brunch spot!Parking: Tons of creative spots.Kid-friendliness: Girly’s gave us two coloring books and two packs of crayons for them. Extremely considerate and kind for all families!“
“This is a small "hole in the wall" restaurant. Parking is behind the building. We almost didn't go because the last review was in Feb. 2021. Restaurant seems to do mostly take out business while we were there. It only seats about 10 or 12 people. My husband and I both enjoyed the sandwiches we ordered. They are prepared while you are there, so its no fast in and out. I ordered the chicken salad and it was good, but not superb. My husband had the pastrami and rye and he enjoyed his sandwich.“
“It doesn't look like much from the outside but we were pleasantly surprised how great the did and service was. The Shepards pie was outstanding. Others got the Reuben and a chicken sandwich and said they were great. The waitress was prompt and efficient. General atmosphere is a sports bar.“
“My 1st actual visit they get busy quicker than you can blink. The atmosphere is a real chill vibe, family-friendly environment. The food is served in huge portions. I had a long hair in my slaw. She took the food and didn't charge me. But gave me 2 drinks for the next visit. Honestly, the food was so good and service that I would've been fine with a remade order. I'm definitely coming back.“
“So I went back and forth between 3 star and 4 stars. Small business have it tough already competing with larger business' so I gave 4 stars. Service was great waitress was attentive and nice. I was not happy with my food I got the eggs benedict. Sauce was light almost non existent and if it was not for the salt and hot sauce I would not have ate it. Only thing they did well is poaching egg so that it was runny but they need some more seasoning and better hollandaise sauce. Also, the potatoes were wet not sure if it was water or oil but a little weird and also tasteless.“
“I ordered the Two Eggs, Bacon, and Toast for ~ $11 and would definitely recommend! I organized the food into two breakfast sandwiches and it was delicious. The perfect serving size for me, left only crumbs on the plate.Everyone in my party also enjoyed their meals. We don’t suggest the burgers or cranberry juice, but the fries, ham, and everything else was very good.I wish there was beautiful art on the walls and the channel the tv was on wasn’t my taste. But the service was fast and the person who served us was lovely. :)“
“What a great place. Even though I only live a short drive from here, I hadn't visited for years. My mistake. Even on a very busy weekend morning, we were seated promptly, and our order taken. The coffee was hot and delicious. Our breakfasts were exactly what we were expecting, and perfectly prepared. Service was attentive and I noticed the whole staff was cooperating to make sure guests were happy. Everyone was very friendly. Will definitely be back.Parking: Parking is easy.“
“Such a cute place, very friendly and quaint. Our bartender was very engaging and offered food/wine pairings - our only problem with him is that he wouldn't disclose a favorite drink recipe! Lol! We were there for live music - Alex Rohan did not disappoint, we will now be following him as well. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable evening in all regards!“
“Been coming here for about 10 years and it's the only spot I go to for Spanish food. In my opinion they give so much for a very reasonable price. The owner is very kind and friendly. I believe his family works the place with him. I usually get the same thing every time, but everything I've tried is delicious!“
“As for the food which was in the party I went to yesterday that happened to be where the catering was from. I must say overall for the food they provided it's pretty good but my only slight gripe might be the rolls (seemed really not baked from the oven or such) but in all what they had (pasta w/meatballs, yellow rice, chicken wings, potatoes, veggies on oil sauce) but you can rest assured that they will make sure you get leftovers so you possibly want stuff for little bit you're all set. Okay & enjoy.“
“Stopped by for a carry out lunch. The burgers were cooked and prepared perfectly. Not greasy at all. Very flavorful. This is easily one of the best hidden gems of Springfield. Better than any chain you’ll ever go to. Friendly staff. Watched regulars from the neighborhood come in; this is their go-to place. Will definitely visit again.“
“Had the best prime rib dinner ever last night at Joanna’s. The meal wasn’t skimpy by any means. Definitely worth the price. Not only got a salad but a fresh vegetable that was seasoned just right. The prime rib was like butter, so tender. Will be going back for sure!“
“The Gin Mill is exactly what you're looking for, if you want a local dive bar with some distinctly interesting and unique characteristics. Read the other reviews and you'll get the right idea. They make a pretty decent home-style fried burger for a few bucks -- exactly what I needed and vastly superior to a fast food burger. Not gourmet by any stretch but better than I expected. I'd be happy to return. (BTW, there's virtually no AT&T data connectivity in this locale, so don't go there counting on it.)“
“My husband and I visited for the first time recently. We sat at the bar, where the bartender was very friendly and efficient. My husband had the half rack of baby back ribs and I had the chicken Marsala. The meals came with fresh green salads and delicious warm rolls, accompanied by butter and olive oil/red wine vinegar/seasoning. The food was very good and the portions were extremely generous. I got two lunches out of my leftovers! The prices are very reasonable. It is a friendly, local establishment and we chatted with some nice folks at the bar. Very relaxing, home town feel with friendly staff.“
“Tried Tony & Penny's yesterday for the first time for lunch. Dined with my fiance & Father, who had been here before & had positive things to say. We were told that we could seat ourselves & enjoyed a very nice meal. The atmosphere was comfortable, clean & cozy. Specials were listed upon entering. Our waitress was friendly & pleasant. Service was great. My Dad ordered the Cajun swordfish, which he liked & had the kale soup with that, he also said was good, my fiance got the Roast Sirloin & mashed potatoes/veggies & a salad, he was happy with his choice, and I ordered the Chicken Francaise over linguine, and the chicken soup, which I enjoyed. Everything was delicious & freshly made, you could tell. Overall, I think Tony & Penny's is a nice restaurant that I would definitely recommend. They also have a private banquet room, for special functions/occasions. I don't venture out to Ludlow often, but I would stop in again, if in the area! Photo is of me & my Father.Parking: Plenty of parking available.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance.“
“It's a fun little establishment to hang out on the outdoor patio with friends on a Friday after work. They have live music, but left before the musicians started.Ordered a couple of apps - fried pickles and bourbon wings. Apps were served fast, fresh and hot. Robust portions are great for sharing.Bartender was the only one on site - she juggled inside and outside quite nicely. Checking in frequently on her customers.“
