Hey Yelpers! Came in here on a Monday evening. The restaurant was surprisingly empty, and it…read moreshouldn't be! I had the roast beef dinner and my mom had the bacon cheeseburger. The burger fries looked amazing and my mom raved about them. I LOVED my roast beef. I haven't had it in a while and have never ordered it in a restaurant. I'm glad I did. The meat was nice and tender, the gravy savory and luscious. I would order it again in a heartbeat. They had lots of dessert offerings but we were too full to try any of them. The restaurant is large. It looks nice inside and has room for almost any size of group. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place for a delicious, homestyle meal. Come check this restaurant out!

We came here on a whim when we were in the area. I wasn't a fan but my husband liked it. This place…read moreis more of a greasy spoon diner than a typical chain restaurant, but it operates kind of like a chain, at least menu-wise. The staff were having conversations that weren't really appropriate for the patrons to hear. Our waitress didn't seem like she wanted to work or maybe she was annoyed that they seated us with her, idk. Refills took forever, so that was also frustrating. The bathroom left something to be desired- it was small and not the cleanest. The food was typical diner food, nothing to write home about. I personally don't care to go back, but my husband probably would if he was in the area. The whole place seemed a bit dirty, dingy, and in serious need of updating. Not a fan.

This place is better than 5 stars. Wish I could give them a 6. The food is fantastic and the…read moreservice is just as good . . . friendly, prompt and attentive. It was crowded and understandably so. Well worth the wait. They have both counter and table seating (no outside seating). We got to use a felt marker to leave our mark by writing that we were there on the wall before we left. We were on a Route 66 journey from Chicago to Santa Monica so College Street Cafe was exactly the type of dining experience we were looking for. It did not disappoint! Wish we had a place like this back home!

I'm really not sure where to start with this review. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I saw…read morephotos of the food on Yelp and thought this might be a good dive or greasy spoon style diner to have lunch at with my husband, since I was in the area. We met there and the outside aesthetic alone should've warned us off. To start, the exterior of the building was quite worn down, the windows were dark and dirty, and the sign was broken. If it weren't for the cars parked outside and for the fact that I called ahead to ensure they were open, we would've thought they were closed for business, permanently. We enter the building lobby, for lack of a better word, and proceed into the dining room. The first step into the dining room was me stepping into a literal hole that is covered with a rubber mat. That's a definite hazard. I couldn't believe that they'd just cover it with a mat. That's really dangerous. At that point, I was really starting to rethink staying. We walk further in and there is this atrocious, sour, vomit-inducing stench that billows throughout the room. It slaps you in the face and takes your breath away, and it's covered by a very strong pine smell. Again, I'm contemplating leaving but my husband didn't want to make a scene. The place is FILTHY! And I don't mean filthy as in someone spilled food and didn't clean it up. I'm talking decades of grease, dirt, bacteria, etc. covering the floor and furniture. You could take a putty knife and chisel up layers of gunk from the floor. There was even a sign that said something like- "Wipe tables down each night- Alli". I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist. If you have to tell your staff that.... ugh... We get to the table and I didn't even want to touch the chair to sit, let alone stay there and eat, but I didn't want to leave right after we entered the place. I was hoping (praying) the food would be worth it... The waitress comes over to take our drink order and brings the drinks back pretty quickly. The cup felt like it hadn't been washed, ever... It had a layer of grime on the outside. Say you cooked something greasy at home and let the greasy dish soak in the sink for a day, but a cup fell into the pan and soaked with it overnight. When you pick it up the next day and the grease is stuck to the side of it- that's what it felt like. I would've asked for a new cup, but I knew in my gut that the next one wouldn't be any better. It's like they run their dishes through a dishwasher that only has cold water and no hot water. Bleh. They take our food order and I'm quite literally praying that we don't get sick from eating here. Why I stayed, I have no idea. I guess I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The waitresses seemed like they had their own issues and I didn't want to add to it. The food comes out and and it's time to eat. My burger was ok at first, clearly a frozen patty but I'm giving it a shot. Then I taste something off and stop eating it. My fries... I just can't even... a few of them were ok, but then I got to some that tasted like they had been fried in a deep fryer that had been used for years without being cleaned or having the grease replaced. My burger also tasted like it was cooked on a filthy grill. My husband couldn't stomach the place and only ate the things on his plate that he thought couldn't make him sick. We got the ticket, paid, and left as quickly as we could without being too obvious or rude. It's a little restaurant that is clearly struggling. This place was beyond 'dive' or 'greasy spoon' status. There's no possible way that this restaurant is safe to eat at. I honestly don't know how they ever pass the health inspection. The level of dirty here is not something that can be cleaned up the day before inspection day, just to get this dirty again between inspections. It must never, ever, be cleaned, or the inspector is blind, literally. As you can guess, we will never be eating here again and I don't recommend that you do either.

He was so patient, explained everything, let me try all the BBQ sauces, and didn't rush us at all even when we kept adding more food. He really hooked it up! We tried the Burnt Ends of the World As We Know It, Machine Gun Belly pork belly, wings, Red & Loaded Potato Salad, and Cheesy Creamed KORN everything was so good! The burnt ends and pork belly were full of flavor, the creamy corn was a must, and the loaded potato salad was delicious. The whole environment is such a fun rockstar vibe with guitars, music notes, and a menu full of funny pun names like Fleetwood Mac 'n Cheese, Mosh Pit Beans, Nat King Coleslaw, No More Mr. Nice Fry, The Boys from OKRAhoma, and Collard Greens Day. Coming from California, it's different because places out here close early, but they still made us feel welcomed and taken care of.

We started with a honey flight with chutney, cheese and crackers and was asked by the server about upgrading from cream cheese to goat cheese. I Love goat cheese and was very glad that she had offered. This app could be one of my new favorite apps in Springfield. The chutney was delicious and with the variety of honey we chose, it was like six different apps on one plate... WE LOVED THIS! We followed the app up with fried chicken, mashed potato, gravy and corn bread. Our chicken was moist and tender but it had way to much crust on it for me and not enough meaty chicken. Also the mashed potatoes were very dense and heavy as was the gravy which had a unique seasoning to it. The cornbread was pretty basic as was the peach waffle dessert. While most of the great comments are coming from the breakfast crowd, I think I am going to have to visit again for a little breakfast. However I strongly suggest you go in for the honey flight as it is a real unique experience in these parts and quite tasty.
