“Omg this place is amazing! The ambiance was great, my server Jose was awesome and Burt was ver friendly. I got their firecracker shrimp as an appetizer, those bad boys were sooo good! Very fresh and well seasoned and the sauce complimented the dish. I just wanted something simple and not so heavy, so I ordered their catfish and shrimp meal, with fries and coleslaw. Their catfish was in my opinion the best tasting catfish I’ve had. I just recently started eating catfish and noticed that theirs was very clean tasting and fresh. The fries were nice and hot, well seasoned and their coleslaw was delicious and crisp. Their prices are also very reasonable. This is definitely my go to spot when I’m in Springfield. I’m going to go there again for dinner. Very highly recommended!!“
“Good golly the food was tasty! Margaritas were spot on for my taste bud community! I got the pollo pablano dish and I’m so glad that I did. I ate half and brought the rest home…ate the rest for breakfast and enjoyed every bite! Horray for good food, great job y’all and keep up the good work!“
“I can't complain our food was fantastic, service was superb. You don't have to hunt down your server for refills. Most of the time they sneak in and drop off a fresh drink without saying a word. I had ask my husband do you think the chef has a Michelin star? The food was that phenomenal!!“
“WOW! We stopped here by chance on a road trip not knowing what to expect. This is an amazing place! The staff is top-notch, from the servers to kitchen staff, on a busy Saturday night they had our food cooked perfectly and out in a timely manner. Prices were better than expected and food was excellent - seafood boils, gator bites, po boys and oysters were delicious! Can't wait to visit the area again so we can come back!“
“Potentially the best chips and salsa in Springfield. Like on a wow level.Pastor street tacos 8/10Spanish rice 8/10Refired beans 8.2/10Cheese dip 7.3/10Loved the service and atmosphere. Food was really good. Will have to come back to try some carnitas or fajitas soon.“
“We are very picky about crab legs, my husband especially!! This place did not let us down. When we went, they had a $50 all you can eat special (my husband got). They did have specific rules you had to follow (no wasting, 1 hour limit). The food was soooo good and the service was fantastic. I gave 4/5 stars on the atmosphere because it is pretty small location, definitely difficult to deal with if you have a larger party. Pictured is the $40 plate. Especially love that you get to pick from different seasoning choices. We will be back soon!!!Kid-friendliness: Multiple kids meals options, not just sea food.“
“There is no better deal in town. This is the best taco and cervesa you will ever have. I have had everywhere in town. I come here all the time. They take care of me even though I'm a from the US of A. This is the best Mexican food and drinkExperience you will ever possibly have. Please respect them and their food. You will be respected in return. This is the best Mexican restaurant in town hands down.“
“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! Lea, our server was super friendly and responsive to all her customers. I ordered the 3 piece Walleye which was so big that I kiddingly asked if my portions was Walleye or Whale. Lol! I was extremely impressed with how there was an excellent representation of diversity in both the staff and customers. There was a genuine air of both respect and appreciation for each other. This place is located in an old Pizza Hut building and there was ample handicap parking as well. We just really loved the feel, the friendliness and cleanliness of Kearney Street Cafe. Our carry-out portion was a meal in itself and we are really looking forward to dining her again ???.“
“I had reservations on 3/22 at 745pm for my boyfriend's birthday. I had put that it was in the notes for our reservation. I was hoping they would have brought him a special desert but they did not. I wanted it to be a surprise, and would have happily paid for it. I also requested the lounge, which I'm not positive that is where we were seated. I thought the lounge would be close to the bar. The food was amazing! Our server was also great!“
“Best service & food I’ve found in the Springfield area. My grandson ordered a dish he didn’t like. The food was good but he’s a young child. When the waiter noticed he wasn’t eating he asked if he’d like something else. We did get a different plate & was surprised to see they did not charge us for the one he didn’t eat! There was nothing wrong with the food… it was delicious… just a 5 year old changing his mind. I insisted on paying but they refused so I just left a bigger tip because, as always, the food & service were outstanding“
“One of the best steaks I've had, Tinder and juicy. It was the aged ribeye. My wife had the pasta with mussels and shrimp he loved every bite. I tried one of the mussels, so good and for dessert gooey butter cake melts in your mouth we plan to go back“
“Big thank you to Ariake for hostingy bday party!! I was contacted several times before my event to get a headcount, make sure the table was set up the way I wanted, etc. The big room had a fireplace and they were very accommodating to our huge group of 20 (and 20 very picky/high maintenance people! Lol!). Food came out very quick considering our group size, and the wait staff even cut up our cake and served it for us. Every single person at the table said it was one of the best meals they had ever eaten. No complaints whatsoever! Huge shoutout to Logan who was our main server for the night. He was such a delight and made the party more fun! Highly recommend having your event at Ariake!“
