    Very impressed with this place. The appetizer was excellent, and the meal overall exceeded my expectations. The biggest surprise was the price--you get incredible quality for what you pay. The food was fresh and flavorful, the server was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It was absolutely packed at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon, which speaks for itself. And as a bonus, they even have high-quality napkins. It's the little things that make a difference. I'll definitely be back.

    Cold drinks!

    What a great place to eat! We are new to the area and were looking for a good place for seafood. Found FD's Grillhouse and boy, were we in luck! I had the fish & chips and they were amazing! My wife went with grilled shrimp, and she loved them (I also had to steal one). The restaurant was ultra chic, clean lines and lots of glass to bring in light. Very cool. Our waitress was excellent and attentive. And finally, the price was really reasonable. Great dining experience, and if I could rate it higher, I would!

    Updating my review of FD Grillhouse in Springfield. I have enjoyed this experience, service was great, food could use more seasoning, but the prices are more than reasonable. I'd definitely give it a third try after this experience.

    Awesome! More than I expected for less than I expected! Treat that special person in your life!

    The homemade key lime pie was better than we've had in the Keys! ‍

    We were traveling and looking for a non fast food place. It was delicious and so reasonably priced we ended up going twice during our stay!

    Dijon and mushroom chicken with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The chicken was a little dry but sauce helped

    We were in town to pick up our son from camp and came across the yelp reviews and thought we'd try this place. It was crowded for 2 pm but they got us in within 5 minutes. Matthew P., The waiter, was very efficient. The atmosphere was very upbeat and the staff was very friendly to everyone. The food was delicious, we will definitely be back.

    For what this place is, it's a good place, good value and an overall good experience. I always say...this place and Cheddars...you get an entree...which is easily at least $4 more anywhere else. And this place gives you an ample portion size. Food is overall always good. Are these the greatest stuffed and grilled shrimp I've ever had? Well no....but they also have a $15.95 price point and come with two sides. And....overall, the food has a very good taste....despite (not) being colossal sized shrimp.

This most recent visit was a rather disappointing 2 star review instead of prior solid 5 star reviews standard of locations on the West Coast. I am wondering if it is just a MidWest thing but there should be consistency across the board. The first notice was the cheddar bat biscuits were a different consistency and not a speck of cheddar. They were tasteless and really seemed to resemble a flavorless Bisquick biscuit. I asked for a fresh basket and the next batch was the same flavorless biscuit taste, even dunking them in my shrimp scampi juice did not save them. I ordered the classic seaside shrimp trio which is shrimp scampi, shrimp linguini and waltz traditional fried shrimp. There was very little shrimp in the pasta, a lot less than portion of pasta as before as well. The prices have increased by 40% but the quantity and quality has decreased by the same. I had a rude awakening as now RL is charging for a side dinner salad that used to be complimentary with meal. The only thing that was really good was the Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, they were tasty with the dipping sauce so very fortunate for that. We won't be back to RL for many reasons. I did provide some low-key quiet feedback of our meal experience on the way out but the Manager didn't respond as if he cared as he stated "I have been a manager for 5 years now and nothing has changed".

    We made a birthday reservation for a busy Friday night with no problem. we had been to the…read morerestaurant numerous times over the past couple decades and always had a good experience. However, this time the service and the food quality stood out tremendously! Our host greeted us very promptly and brought us to our beautiful table that was adorned with a candelabra with at least five real candles a lit. We were immediately offered some complementary house champagne, which was nice. The menu was extensive on offering very fine foods. However, my wife pointed out for somebody who's a little bit pickier of an eater noticed there was no pasta offerings and only one chicken entrée which was not a problem and ended up being fantastic but a couple more options for picky eaters of non-steak varieties and fish varieties might not hurt. I always frequent this restaurant for the freshest oysters offered probably in the whole state of Missouri, and they never disappoint. Last night they had at least five varieties, including Blue points, petites, birthday girl, and other varieties from both the West Coast and the East Coast. I ordered two of everything and it was very fun to experiment with the differences of the oysters from both coasts, and I ended up becoming a big fan of east Coast Bluepoint oysters. However, they were all extremely fantastic and very fresh. The oyster shucker was extremely talented and preserved the liquid within the shells perfectly. I was unable to find one shelf fragment in any of my oysters, which is unbelievable. As my main course, I ordered nothing but appetizers because they all look fantastic. I ordered the steak tartare and the escargot and both were unbelievably good. The rest of my five table mates ordered their meals, ranging from fish to filet mignon, and they all raved about their food and finished their complete plates. I remember the food quality being good at this location in years past, but this time it really stood out and we now regard this as the best restaurant in Springfield, hands-down. The server Lily was extremely attentive and often had other servers assist with plate arrivals and clearing of the table very promptly. Lillie was probably one of the best servers. I've had a very long time. Don't skip out on dessert as the chocolate torte and the crème brûlée s'mores were both very fantastic offerings. I later met with the manager, Justin to complement his exceptional staff and food quality and let him know that we will be returning very very soon and more frequently in the future. Char Steakhouse by far exceeded my past expectations and is my pick for the best restaurant in Springfield. You won't be disappointed if you try it.
