    With the Cozy Dog closed on Sundays, we stumbled across this restaurant and so glad we did. Great…read moreservice, huge portions, and a super fun atmosphere, ended our day in Springfield with an explanation point. I had the Steering Wheel and it was one of the best French Dips, I've ever had. Sweet potato fries and the krinkle fries were tasty. Mom got the chicken tenders with honey mustard dipping sauce, and loved it all. Make this a must stop when getting out on Route 66.

    We had been here before, but it had been a while! Good food…read moreand a fun place for kids and adults alike! They were very busy, but lots of seating and got seated fairly quick! While we waited for our food, some of us walked over to the little museum. The owner came over and talked to us a bit and our grandson's liked all the car stuff and memorabilia! They host bands, but we were just there for lunch on a rainy day! I had the chicken salad which was very good and liked the fact it didn't have raw onion like a lot of places have as I can't do raw onion. I asked for it in a wrap instead of the croissant that it normally comes on and they accommodated my request. I went with the home made chips, which were different than most have. They were really good and I shared them with others. Two of our Grandson's had pizza which they liked and another Grandson had the pulled pork nacho's with his Grandpa. Our daughter had the protein bowl which she enjoyed as well. I was sitting at the other end, so not sure what anyone else had. We will be back again!

    Our server was great. We requested additional syrup for my hubby's pancakes. Syrup had been heated…read moreand she gave us maybe four more? (But my hubby LOVES syrup. He ordered eggs over medium and they were cooked to perfection (for him; I'm not an egg person) My pecan pancakes were r ea ky good. Coffee filled repeatedly. I do have two "cons" which really aren't cons. Parking lot is squirrelly in the layout. Interior of restaurant is small. We felt really cramped at our table

    Extremely slow service, missing dipping sauces, jam, etc. Table of 3, our food took almost 45…read moreminutes to arrive. I ordered the crispy tenders dinner which the menu clearly states comes with 6 chicken tenders, dipping sauces, & 2 (or 3) sides. When our food finally arrived I got 3 tenders and no sauce. My wife pointed out the sauce was missing and when our waitress finally returned I asked about the 6 vs 3 tenders. She insisted it only came with 3. I was sure of what the menu said, and she offered to put in another 3. But we didn't have another 45 minutes to wait so I declined. Service was awful, food was mediocre at best, place smelled very bad, and there was no hand soap in the bathrooms even after multiple people told the staff. Two managers standing next to the fireplace cutting up with each other, completely oblivious to anything else. It's been about 15 years since I've been to a Cracker Barrel and I probably won't be back anytime soon.

    I visited Boyd Generation Cafeteria today and had a disappointing experience from start to finish…read more The young lady who took my order at the drive-thru was polite and professional -- she was honestly the only bright spot of the visit. But when I got home and started going through my food, I realized something was off. I noticed what I thought was an extra dessert in a flimsy plastic container, but when I looked closer, it turned out my baked dark meat chicken was missing -- the main part of my order. I called twice. No answer. Straight to voicemail. Voicemail was full. So I drove all the way back, tried to go inside -- doors locked. Got back in the drive-thru line and explained the issue. Then the woman who I assume was the owner or head cook came to the window, and instead of addressing my concern professionally, she hit me with sarcasm and attitude -- as if I was out of line for coming back for food I paid for. She insisted she personally packed the chicken and tried to make it seem like I was the problem. When I mentioned there was a container in the bag that looked like pie, she snapped that they didn't serve sweet potato pie that day. Eventually, she handed me what looked like a pie container and told me to open it. Sure enough, it was the chicken -- but it was so dry and shriveled, no wonder I mistook it for a slice of pie. At that point, I told her flat-out: I'm never coming back. To that woman -- if you're reading this -- your behavior was unprofessional, your customer service was dismissive and hostile, and your food wasn't even worth the trip. Mistakes happen, but instead of owning it, you doubled down with attitude and dry chicken in a dessert container. Word of advice: stop assaulting your chicken. Inject it with something buttery, juicy, and respectful before putting it out in the world. Because nobody wants to eat food that looks and tastes like regret. I will not be returning, and I'll be warning others to stay far away.

    Still my all time favorite soul food spot. I love going to Springifled for work and dinning at…read moreBoyd's for over 20 years now. You can't go wrong with anything you order. The staff is excellent.
