25 Best American Restaurants in Springfield

“I love blacksheep but tonight my food was just not good and it was so disappointing because we usually never have any complaints. I got the loaded fries and they were not very good which getting them to go happens but the "pulled pork" was just huge chunks of extremely tough meat I could barely chew.“

“Hands down best burger I’ve ever had, impressed!! Telling all our friends, can’t wait for our next visit 🤤 I had the American girl burger 🍔 my husband, daughter and her friend had the ugly burger and son had the Elvis ALL devoured!“

“We went here for my wife’s birthday dinner. It is a very popular place and we enjoyed it and our server. Atmosphere was very friendly and so were the staff. My wife had the ribeye, broccoli with cheese and loaded baked potato. I don’t remember the last time that she ordered and eat a steak that size as well every thing else on her plate! Her steak was done as she requested. I had the top sirloin and half a rack of ribs, also baked potato and red beans with rice. It was delicious and perfect blend of each. We will be back for another dinner or lunch. The restaurant was so busy and so many places to sit, I didn’t want to impose on the guests to take more pictures.“

“I love this Culvers for dine-in. However, the people preparing drive-thru orders need to check their orders. I sat and waited quite sometime for my order, only to get home and see that there was no salad dressing for my chicken cashew salad. I had none at home. A dry salad is not that good. 🙁“

“I called Mrs Gilmore's twice, and emailed once about a group of about 15 women who wanted to have lunch at Mrs. Gilmore's. No one answered my email, and neither time I called was the need for a reservation mentioned. When we arrived, they evidently mistook our group for another one who was also lunching there that day. Once the error was discovered it became evident they were not prepared for our group. We were made to feel as if we'd done something wrong. They seated us in another area, our drink orders taken and delivered, and we never saw our server again. Finally, after one of us had to leave in order to get food before going to work, we decided to go elsewhere. A neighboring restaurant was able to accommodate us quickly without fuss, despite being short handed. We had our food within a surprisingly short time. Thank you, Big Momma's. We'll be back.“

“You must try this place; I can’t stop going. Their breakfast and lunch options are delicious and the staff is super friendly!

My wife gets the Downward Spiral which is a breakfast bowl with a mix of breakfast items so you don’t have to decide, she also likes to get a side of their amazing hashbrowns and mix that in as well for good measure.

I personally love the B&G as it is perfect here, my favorite in town to be exact. If I am there around 11am they start serving sandwiches which are unique and flavorful. Take my advice and get the Action Parmesan and their house tomato basil sauce on the side so you can dip your sandwich in it…your life will never be the same!“

“I love it...recommended to everyone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😋😋😋😋🌝🌝🌝golden star“

“Best place to catch a sport game the Wings are to die for and When Kc is playing you wanna be there“

“I like Lindberg's but they don't always do their best. Went Thursday night for the jam, sat at the bar right in front of one of the bar tenders. She did not acknowledge my presence. It took a good 10 minutes to finely get her attention. And, on a night with live music that started at 8, the kitchen closed at 9!“

“Food is always consistent, but the best thing they have going is their service. Emmaline waits on me often and does an absolutely fantastic job. She’s the type of server that almost reads your mind and brings you what you need before you even ask. Great service each and every time I visit by Emmaline.“

“Was at the new one on Battlefield rd. Food was so good and staff were friendly and helpful will definitely return!“

“First time going to the Grotto and was not disappointed. They have burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, tacos, and appetizers. When you walk in the menu board is on the left, you look over it, and then order and pay at the register. The only negative that I have is that they try to pressure you into providing a tip immediately by having the tip screen pop up before you can pay. The only service they provide is bringing you your order. You get your own drinks, silverware, condiments, napkins, and refills so I am not sure why they ask for a tip. Anyway, the food was great. My wife ordered the grilled chicken meal with two sides. She got the side salad and sweet potato fries. She loved everything about it. The chicken was moist, the fries crunchy, and salad wonderfully seasoned. I ordered the Swiss burger and fries. The fries were hot and crispy and the burger was delicious with the house made aioli sauce. The only issue was that the burger was a tad dry, but not enough to say it wasn't delicious. We also ordered the chips and caso appetizer which was really good with the caso having a nice kick to it. Would return to try something else.

Kid-friendliness: Some kids meals were available.“

“I visited Civil Kitchen for the 1st time today. I really enjoyed it! The food was very good, big portions, wonderful atmosphere, and Billie our server was wonderful! The next time I’m in Springfield, I’d love to dine here again!“

“Just ate at Beef-A-Roo in Harrison Arkansas for the first time and the food was awesome! Also less expensive than I expected. We will be back and look forward to the one planned in Branson - closer to home.“

“Party of 6, 3/9/24, Sat 5:30pm. Our wait was only a few minutes, Greeter Josh smiling and friendly. Server Astrid did a great job thoughout the meal; personable, quality checks, tbl manicured, drinks refilled. Food temps and quality great! Owner Avid seen in the dining room the whole time actively greeting and seating guests, and assisting the staff. Well done everyone--this is our new place!!“

“Hands down best burger I’ve ever had, impressed!! Telling all our friends, can’t wait for our next visit 🤤 I had the American girl burger 🍔 my husband, daughter and her friend had the ugly burger and son had the Elvis ALL devoured!“

“Couldn’t be seated in patio, reserved (says hostess)…. What’s up with that, no one showed up. I went out there after no one showed up there after a couple hours (brunette bartender had no answers, thought I was being rude asking about it being open, so had an attitude, said “well, you can go out there but you won’t have service.” Great attitude, right? Ginger bartender and server Faith made up for it. Those two were great.“

“Always great food and service 👌“

“Amazing chef, food, and service!!!“

“Great hamburgers 🍔👍 Nice to find a clean place to eat!! Only one complaint... only diet soda options are Diet Pepsi ... 🤮“

“I was a server, bartender and toward the end-dining room supervisor of the private dinner club on the 22nd floor here for a few years, and it absolutely broke my heart when it closed. The relationships I made with the members are ones I cherish. I got to witness the most beautiful sunsets from what is the highest point in the state of Missouri. I miss it so much. It was a privilege.“

“Food here was great. Love the friendly staff and cozy outdoor sitting. Also while you eat you get to hear all and see all the peacocks there. So if you get a chance go vist Dickerson Park Zoo and try the café out.

Kid-friendliness: They also have a playground out front for the kids to play at.“

“Been twice, good drinks, good food, great service. Taylor was very friendly and attentive. Will go again“

“well this Sunday at the Alamo Drafthouse and support your entertainers with your local Talent so please go out and support“

“Wonderful meals and service!“
