23 Best American Restaurants in Springfield

“Tried a nice new spot for dinner tonight, Charlo's downtown in Springfield. andrew got the steak and lobster gnocchi and I ordered the Tuscan salmon. We both had smoked gouda Mac n cheese. it was delicious! parking garage conveniently located around the corner. Our server Elena was awesome. Great personality and conversationalist. She gave us recommendations and honest opinions about the menu. I can 100% see why her toddler gets upset if she doesn't bring her mac n cheese home. I would be too! Very nice evening, really enjoyed the dinner and service. 💓💓💓💓“

“This place is pretty nice.
We got breakfast and lunch foods, and everything was good and fast.
They serve breakfast all day, as well as many other entrees for lunch and dinner.
The only thing that needed work was the mashed potatoes, as they were instant.
The service was friendly, and it's a cute little restaurant that deserves more attention.
The salad was really good and bigger than I expected, which was nice. We plan on going there much more often to try the different things they serve.“

“It was super busy with a couple of large groups when we were there. The wait staff rocked it though. It was easy to see that they had lots of orders and tables. We had our drinks to hold us off! I would have given four stars for service but our server held our bill in her hand while she leaned against the drink service area and visited with another server. This went on for at least 5 minutes.“

“Chef knocked it out of the park for the Springfield Regional OR Staff. Short notice on a cold and windy day. I couldn't be more happy. Eat amazing food and support are local businesses. Stella Bleu ROCKS“

“It’s been awhile since I had stopped at Cracker Barrel and was pleasantly surprised by the updated menu. I had the fried chicken salad and it was excellent! I highly recommend that you revisit if you haven’t been in for sometime. It’s like going home to a remodeled kitchen. Same friendly people, great service and surprising menu with the old family favorites still available.“

“One of the most gorgeous but tough courses I’ve ever played.“

“Loved Linardos! Straight up old school atmosphere and great Greek food. Waitress Angie was fantastic, knowledgeable and a gem for the restaurant. We wish we lived close so we could eat here all the time. Great for special occasions and the baklava is a must. Thanks for a great anniversary dinner!“

“If your looking for a few laughs without breaking the bank this is your spot. They've got great food, good music and a fun atmosphere with clean bathrooms. You can tell the owners care about their place and your one evening out with your friends and family.“

“Always a great time. Just a reminder, August 17th StoneHart will be ‘ live and kicking ‘ at the Union Club so make sure to be there. 7:30 to 11:30. Come on out and be apart of our reunion show. Looking forward to seeing all of you.“

“This place is a hidden secret in Spfld. The bar is fantastic, needs to be advertised more and stocked better. What a wonderful outdoor patio that is not being used. Shame shame. Still, I go out of my way to have a cocktail at this bar because the bartenders, Terri and Myssi are just super ladies.“

“Edit 2: Updating to 4 stars as I had a double there today that was already ready and waiting and hostess was present and acknowledged my existence.

Original 1-star review: Employees ignore doordash. I've been doing various orders throughout town and this place is absolutely the worst in terms of not caring whatsoever about acknowledging a driver's existence or providing prompt, or any, service. I will decline future Applebee's orders and am leaving this review as a customer advisory to expect slow food at best here.

Edit: updated to 3 star as I had an order another time during the day and there was a runner actually getting orders out“

“we just love eating here. Far better than Cracker Barrel. Better Service.“

“our waitresses Peggy was wonderful!!“

“We went for breakfast while on vacation for a reunion. Their chicken sausage was so good. The customer service was great! We did wait a little bit on the food but there were a lot of us and it was worth it cause the food was hot, fresh and so delicious. We will be back for sure!
Their sweet tea is the best!!!! ?“

“WiMga were very good! Crispy and the choice of sauces was a great variety. I had the chipotle and shared some Nashville hot. Wings weren’t skimpy and small, big and cooked great! The fried bologna grilled cheese was super good as well! Great place, chill atmosphere. Visiting from arizona and would Highly retro’s place to anyone! Nice work!“

“Have always loved Bob Evans!“
