50 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.“

“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!!“

“The food and drinks are awesome especially the purple haze drink. Annie our server was just awesome. Love it“

“My family and I just had the BEST dinner at Jimm’s last night! I made a reservation earlier in the week for my son’s 18th birthday. Whenever I made the reservation, the staff said “if you have a cake or special decorations for your table, just bring them in and we will be happy to set that up for you…” I dropped those things off in the afternoon and didn’t think too much about it. Whenever we got there for our reservation, we had a small side room to ourselves, the table was decorated perfectly with the birthday stuff I provided. Our service and food was outstanding! At the end of the meal, our cake was brought out, candles lit, then cut and served at our table! I was so impressed with the level of service! It made our night extra special! Highly, highly recommend Jimms!“

“I had the best gluten free cauliflower crust pizza with cheese and mushrooms. The mushrooms were sautéed in a delicious seasoning and placed on top the cheese. Everyone was very friendly and seemed to work as a team. I can’t wait to go back!!“

“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.“

“We don't have a Culver's in our area so whenever we are traveling and see one we stop. I like Culver's so this review would be a little bias. The service was great and the facility was clean. Food was exactly what I expected. I would say this Culver's is right in line with others I have visited.“

“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.“

“It was a nice restaurant. I had the battered fried chicken strips. I thought they were OK. A tad bit over battered, and the actual meat portion was small. The server was fantastic and friendly. We went Mother's Day on Mo State graduation, and the place was busy, and to boot, we had a table of 7 adults and 3 kids. yet she served us with a smile and great service. I'll eat there again for sure. Can't really judge a place on eating 1 menu item.“

We can eat out guilt free when we come here ? The outdoor seating is nice and I love that they use table trackers so they know where to bring the food ? at other restaurants I feel like they can't find us if we sit outside“

“We love going to the South Glenstone Village Inn! Service and food are great! Michael was our server today, and have had him before. He is awesome and works so hard to take care of his cuustomers!“

“It’s great service, the staff is very friendly, Especially Steve, very kind and cheerful every time we come in, we look to see if Steve is working. It’s very clean, and food is hot and always yummy.“

“I've been wanting to try the Cod Sandwich and for the money it's a great value, even for those with larger appetites. I went through the drive through so can't say anything about the inside but as it was noon, the wait for my food was probably longer than other hours.“

“This place is OUTSTANDING!! The food is delicious, larger portions, very reasonable prices, and most importantly, service is TOP NOTCH! KENDRA is an amazing server! We have now been back twice in one week, and just on our second visit last night, Kendra greeted us with a big happy welcome!!!“

“So I had a small issue with a burger I ordered today, cooks forgot the cheese initially and it was way under the medium i ordered, but it's the first time I've ever had any sort of problem there. Our server, Amanda, and the manager, Jeremiah (I think that was his name, sorry if I misremembered) were absolute gold. Took care of us in every way possible, made sure we left happy, offered an entirely new meal if I wanted one.What made me sad is they thanked me for not being rude while having an issue.Remember guys. People make mistakes from time to time. Be kind to one another.100/10 service and they should be recognized for it.“

“This is a smoke-free environment. They do have a smoking section as well. This place is always clean. The staff is friendly and the service is swift. Generally, the bands are a lot of fun to listen to. There's a bit of space for dancing.“

“Best slaw and beans anywhere“

“The place has moxie and good vibes. Great staff, cocktails with names that will make you laugh, and historic, eclectic setting. The menu is not huge but every dish is executed to make it count. And those fries…“

“Wonderful burgers, friendly service and the hubs got to shoot a few games of pool!“

“Amanda and Amber our servers were very courteous and friendly. Chef Zach is the best, he customized my dish, Chicken Piccata considering my food allergy and it was to die for. Probably the best I have eaten so far. Thanks Chef for the extra effort and attention to detail .“

“Food was delicious and super fresh. Highly recommend!“

“I HAVE to give a shout out to Alysia (I'm so sorry if I spelled your name wrong). She was the ONLY bartender serving drinks/food for the bar AND while catering to my friends dirty 30th birthday party. She did AMAZING! But that's not all, the teamwork witnessed at this establishment was clearly noted. I saw an Expo running food, the manager (I think) even pitching in running food. I'm a server and this teamwork literally made me wonder if y'all are hiring, for realz. Thank you so much for a fun night and making my friends dirty 30th birthday party so special. You guys are killing it!“
