Nearly Famous Deli & Pasta House

Their food is always fresh and delicious. Service is the best in town. Could use a good dusting.

I have been going here for over 6 years and never had a bad experience. It’s mostly the same people work there too. Wonderful spot to relax and have some of the best lunch food around. A gem of Springfield!

Came at 4:25. They open at 4:30. Waited 15 minutes and no one opened the door… saw multiple people come by and door was locked. Lost customers because they don’t open when the times on the door and online say they are open. Was looking forward to trying the place. Not sure I want to risk coming when they are supposedly open and they aren’t.

Corned beef sandwich was sparce. Waiter was rather unfriendly. Hostess was very friendly. Overall...meh.

We here for date night. We love the one up by St. Louis. Ordered the chicken Alfredo the portion for the price was disappointing. It comes with a salad but I wanted the small dinner salad. Waiter said that was additional. I thought for 9.99 it should be worth it so I agreed. Spinach prices must be high that was a super small salad especially for 10.oo. Host was not real friendly yet the waiter was super nice. Would we try it again probably not. We can go family owned downtown for a same price and better food.

Nearly famous is generous for what is mediocre at best. I had better club sandwiches at mcalisters for a better price. I'm not sure who thinks chilli is a soup but they are very wrong.

After being a customer for over 25 years I will never return after being stunningly insulted by hostess. I asked my friend if her salad tasted different and she said yes and wasn’t going to eat it. I always get the Famous Salad every time… have bought their dressing for home, as well… but that day the artichokes were dry and salad tasted flat… when asked at checkout how our lunch was my friend quietly responded regarding salad.… I sadly concurred regarding the salad… the cashier responded, rudely, “well, I had one this morning and it tasted the same. Have you girls had a change in your medications, lately.” Funny? Didn’t feel funny… and if I’m not mistaken, as one looks around at the clientele, insulting ageism jokes might not be appreciated. Very unkind and undeserved. A simple, “I’m sorry, I’ll check into it.” would have sufficed and I wouldn’t have to try and find a new favorite Springfield lunch spot. (Servers are outstanding! I will miss their attentiveness.)

Arrived at 430 pm when opening on 1/17, after my radiation mapping appt. We were one of 2 parties in the establishment. We waited 30 mins to be served and for food to arrive. We had the tortellini special with marinara sauce/chicken, and drinks. I thought it tasted odd. Bill came to 60. Special was listed as 17.89. We had one iced tea and two glasses of orange juice. The food was not impressive and I ate only a small portion and took mine home and gave to chickens, my friend had stomach distress afterwards and I had an allergic reaction, as I have alpha gal with angioadema. My mouth swelled up. They have cross contaminated the food with beef. Pork, etc.
Regardless, will never go back again. Very disappointed

I really don’t know why this place is still around. The sandwiches are ok but the hot food is not good. The spinach lasagna has canned spinach. The spaghetti has no flavor. The jarred sauce from the stores have more flavor. The meatballs were gross.

Vegetarian options: There are a few options.
