They make it really easy to love this place. It could not be more convenient if you're staying at the Doubletree. Great menu selections and great food too. There have been trips to Springfield where I have eaten lunch and dinner here on the same day. Love their Ahi Tuna and the salads. read more

Decided to take my girlfriend on date night to ease all this tension over Corona, coming here was a bad choice. We both ordered steaks and she chose sides of Mac n cheese and the mashed potatoes, I chose beans and loaded potato. I asked for medium steak she asked for medium rare. Well here's what we got: I got a rare cold, chewy as all get out steak with sweet potato fries and broccoli, when tf did I say broccoli? She got a medium to well done steak with also sweet potatoes fries and green beans. They literally got nothing about our order right. Not sure if the hostess was just that incompetent or the cooks just put whatever they felt like on the plate. Either way this place is a trash heap. Highly advise avoiding at all costs. Overpriced and terrible service. read more

Good spot in a revitalizing area. Bartenders were great as was the food and beer. New hotel next door and the top quality food and service will bring me back when I'm in the area. read more

Without being busy came in at 915 on a Monday night, still took about 5-10 min to get a drink and menu sitting at the bar. I had the side house salad which was good. The burger came out looking like a McDonald's quarter pounder, not impressed at all. The broccoli looked as if it was heated in the microwave yesterday. Bland, no taste, just blah, same with the burger. The same de of bacon and jalapeños consisted of 6 jalapeños.... and two burnt small... smallllll pieces of bacon. If you're looking for a burger save your time and money and go to steak and shake. I don't think I will be back to give it another shot unless desperate for food. Good luck if you try this and I hope your experience is better than mine. Update I tried again 1/29/19 service was much better this time however the food was blah. I had the bbq chicken flatbread. Absolutely bland couldn't even taste bbq the crust was like eating a saltine cracker just made me thirsty. However like I said the service was better. I didn't even say anything about the food. I have learned my lesson and given it a second chance. read more

Ok so the food is more pricey than my normal fare but it has always been worth it. Ive eaten here many times in the last few years and its always good. Chipolte ckn nachos are about $10 baked potato soup $5 are two favs. Be sure to sign up for their emails because they give $15 for a bday meal. read more

Don't let the bananas throw you - the Char-Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad is THE. BEST. One of the more impressive salads I've had...and the bananas MADE it. Granted, the price is a bit steep, but I looked past that after my taste buds fell in love with the contradictions of soft tuna and crispy wontons, cashews, and banana chips. SO GOOD! I also had the Loaded Guacamole - another impressive dish...with a sweet mango twist. Eat these, feel good about eating healthy, and fill up with deliciousness. read more

Loved this bar attached to The Doubletree. Service was warm and friendly. Several of my co-workers enjoyed a couple of rounds on their outdoor patio w/fire pit. From Vegas; we nearly fell off the chair when we heard they offered 32 oz pitchers of Long Island Ice Teas for 4.50!!!! Can you best that????? read more

Food was good, but bar staff was unfriendly and had to hear them gossip the whole time. Unprofessional and won't sit at the bar again.

I was staying at the hotel last night and called to order food to go. I decided on the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. I thought it was delicious. Big portions so I was able to get 2 meals out of it. read more

The service here is horrible. From the childish hostess who gets upset when u don't realize there is a mask rule here to the waitress who Tia hateful. We will never return to this location again. They need new help. This was bottom of the barrell when it comes to service for sure. read more

Had Mothers Day dinner here and experienced such great service came back Tuesday for the Chicken Sandwich! Wow!!!! I also have to give props to the French onion soup and surprisingly the baked potato- get it loaded! Now, I'm not a big dessert fan but I was asked to try the apple crumble and then tried a bite of the Carmel nut crunch--- holler!!!!! Best service ever from - Luke, Emily, Andy or Liz!!!! Great team & management staff!!! Thank u!!!! read more

Pretzels. Must have pretzels! Mmmmmmmm. Soft and hot and the mustard is SPICY! Want to get a jar of it to take with me! Good stuff here! Nice and clean and the whole staff are good looking ;) read more

Advised server I did not eat meat. They brought the salad with bacon all over it. Ordered regular order of scallops over risotto. They brought the small order on something that was NOT risotto. Flavorless and a big disappointment. They did take 50% off the bill but I would much rather have had what I ordered. Chef needs to look up what risotto is read more

This place is the worst. For only one thing..... the bar service....the men act like they don't want me to be there... good.... go! Hire women, I will get my food served on time with a smile and no attitude. Just don't go there..... read more

Tried to use 2 birthday coupons, they wouldn't let us. Then had to send the salmon back because it was raw. When it came back there was a hair in the dill dip. The other food was good. read more

This Houlihans is very conveniently located for me. There just are not a whole lot of trendy dining options around this area of Springfield. It is expensively priced for what it is, but the trade off is a bit more variety in the menu than can normally be found. The So-Cal Fish Tacos, Steak and Wedge Salad and Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad are fantastic, and while the appetizers are AMAZING and unique, they cost about as much as any entree. The steaks and fish here are really good; for what you pay the cuts and grade are far better than say, Chilis. No gristle or connective tissue spotted to date! The only reason this place is getting a 4/5 stars from me is that the service is pretty inconsistent. The food and drinks ALWAYS come out fast, don't get me wrong, but some shifts the waiters are more attentive than others. They have never been unfriendly or standoffish, but sometimes I have been made to feel as though I am being rushed during any interactions or completely ignored. I have been going to his location for around 4 years, however, and the service has only improved. read more

I am in town for work. Stopped in tonight for dinner. The drink the bleeding rose was a great choice, I'd suggest you try it. Thanks to my wonderful server, Shelby, for her great service and recommendations from the menu. The scallops and risotto were delicious. For dessert the gooey butter cake, recommended by my server as well being her favorite, was a great way to top off dinner. read more

I come to Springfield twice a year for business and I always make it a point to eat here. Great food and service. Get there before 6 and take advantage of Happy Hour. You won't be disappointed! Note that parking is horrible. Expect to walk up a small incline read more

Enjoyed our dinner immensely. Definitely worth the stop. Our server Sierra was most helpful. We had the Chicken Cesar salad and Steak and Wedge. The wedge salad was so creative, nuts beets and a slice of blue cheese. Chicken was done to perfection on the Cesar. I'm surprised ratings aren't higher on this place. Check out the cocktail flights on the spirits menu. We will be back !! read more

The happy hour prices are great. Love the peach Long Island. The service was a little slow, but not bad. I'll be back.

Had buffalo blue salad it was pretty good with garlic ranch. No ice for our water was a little strange. Didn't see server much took orders dropped off food and check that was it. Friend had Caesar salad with fried polenta. He raves about it. Would give it another shot read more

The food is really sub par! Steaks dry calamari rubbery. The restaurant was closed for awhile you would think they tried to improve but I guess they don't care about the qaulity of food they serve. Oh and if you don't wear a mask under medical conditions you are not allowed in. Even though springfield says a buisness cannot discriminate. Staff was friendly though. Not a isolated incident I am not one that believes one and done method all times my family has ate at Houlihan's the food is really terrible for the money. I would say there steaks are about as good as McDonald's. This is just my families opinion read more

We had a meeting here this evening and had an excellent dining experience all around. The stuffed mushrooms were incredible. The 6 of us ordered an array of items from the ahi tuna salad to my choice the stuffed chicken breast. Then the manager in duty topped it off by giving us a complimentary new dessert they are offering to help support saving the music in our schools. It consisted of homemade brownie pops and mini ice creams. The chik o stick ice cream was hands down the winner but that reveals our ages. Great job Houlihans! read more

Houlihan's - New American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Houlihans thank you!!! I took my wife out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary and I couldn't have picked a better restaurant. My first impression was how nice the interior was and how clean it was; it is evident that this restaurant is under good management. In addition, I was so happy that a place like this had no wait time. Our server Dalton really knew the menu and helped recommend the amazing Prime Steak and Wedge Salad. I loved it! He also helped my wife find a new red wine that paired well with her steak. We haven't ate at Houlihans in a few years and I never remember the food being this good! All in all I highly recommend this place, especially if you want an experience you will be talking about for the days to come. Food and drinks A+ Speed and accuracy A+ Service A++ Thank you again read more

First off I would to say I have never left a review or saw a need to until my meal at Houlihan's tonight. From start to finish, the complete restaurant experience was the best I have ever had! I ordered the Kansas City Strip Steak with Asparagus and Golden Mash Potatoes and a bowl of tomato bisque. The service was top notch and not once did I need to find a server to ask for something! The manager came over to my table and greeted me not to mention the food! The meal was beyond delicious! I have eaten many steaks and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was the best steak I have ever had! Not only was it cooked to perfection, but it was so good I didn't need any steak sauce or anything beyond how it was prepared. I can't say enough for how great my experience was and I highly recommend Houlihan's to everyone! Thank you!!! read more

I ordered the cheese burger . . . one of the best flavored burgers I've ever had. However, burn was very dry/stale, the restaurant was not busy, but service was very slow and ho hum. Menu prices were fair but lean toward the higher side. Too much competition for my business in Springfield, I doubt I will return. Give me a good-fair price, GOOD food and above average service. If you put out a coupon or run a special, I'll be there! read more

Houlihans is the best place to get food and drink. Rachel the bartender is the best I have ever meet friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a terrible restaurant. My girlfriend and I stayed in the hotel attached. When we ordered lunch from there, they brought up dirty silverware and water cup that hadn't been washed. I could tell by the food pieces on the in and outside of the cup. After our day, we went back to have drinks. I again asked for water and again another dirty cup was given to me (this is all with COVID-19 just happening and signs all over saying how much there cleaning). It took over 25 minutes for my girlfriend to get her drink. I told the waitress I wanted my check and was NEVER brought to me. I had to go to the bar after another 20 minutes of waiting. This was a horrible experience, and wouldn't let my dog eat here. Very disappointed. read more

We were halfway through our long drive home and decided to stay at the Fairfield next door to Houlihan's. My husband and I ordered the filet. He ordered a loaded baked potato and when we got back to the hotel, they gave him sour cheese and a couple of shreds had mold! When I called to let them know, I asked if they already stored the to go cheese container or do they make the to go cheese container right then. The hostess said, "I don't know how they do things back there." I worked in the restaurant business as a server for 5 years and the hostesses I worked with knew just as much as the servers! On another note...we received no apology. read more

Great food great service Sierra was the best. The wings were off the chain and the chicken Cesar salad was also off the chain. Great atmosphere full bar pretty waitresses what more can you ask for. read more

I had only heard good things about Houlihan's, so whenever me and some friends were trying to figure out a place to go eat, Houlihan's seemed promising. Trust me... you won't be blown away. For appetizers, we ordered the stuffed mushrooms and raw fish (for the life of me I can't remember the formal name of it). The fish was okay, but it had a really odd texture. It was as if the fish was frozen and they tried to thaw it out really quickly but it didn't finish all the way. The mushrooms were excellent. They were big portobello mushrooms stuffed with a garlic cream cheese butter mixture and fried. That was probably the best thing I got there. For dinner, I got the stuffed chicken breast that came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The chicken was pretty good, very tender, and it was stuffed with the same thing that was in the mushrooms. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly good, but the asparagus was very limp and overcooked. Dessert was by far the most disappointing. We ordered the creme brulee and the dessert that includes graham crackers, strawberries, and a chocolate/marshmallow mixture. The creme brulee was cold, which was weird since it's usually served hot. It was average, at best. The other dessert was terrible. Under the strawberries, it looked like there were seeds, but we quickly realized they weren't seeds when two of them started moving. There were at least ten bugs. We sent it back, and they brought another, not charging us for either of the desserts. The second tray had yet more bugs on it. We gave up on the strawberries and tried the graham crackers, but they were stale as hell. The dipping sauce was pretty good, I suppose. Over all...NOT impressed. I would give it one star, but the service was very good, and because of the whole dessert situation we got tickets for a free dessert next time we came in. But like I said, don't get excited. read more

I have been to Houlihan's several times and have always found their prices and food to be amazing. I have never take my friend before so I took her today raving about the prices and portions. I normally get the chicken tinders but today o decided to try their fish a chips while my friend had the fish tacos. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement, upon receiving my meal I was give one piece of fish about the size of a standard price of talapia. My experience at other restaurants is you receive two pieces of substantial cod. My friend however who ordered the fish tacos had two amazing looking pieces of fish with a side of rice. My recommendation would be not to order the fish and chips from this restaurant if you want more than a tiny price of fish. For the same price you can go to Big Whiskeys or Springfield Brew Co. and actually get a meal. read more

Stayed at the Double Tree when I was in town for a meeting. Had dinner here which was good. Service was great, the house salad is one of the best I've had. Had the chicken tacos based on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Then was back here the next day for lunch with coworkers. This time I had the French dip sandwich with the house salad again. This was great as well. And again, very friendly service. I prefer non-chain restaurants however I would recommend this spot. read more

I always have a good experience here! Tara was a fantastic waitress. Made sure our drinks were refilled always and that we had everything we needed. #sauceboss read more

Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Me along with 35 family had dinner here after graduation. They were absolutely amazing. The food came out quick and hot. The manager, Stevie was so sweet when booking the reservation weeks in advance - they even let me hold up an entire booth for having a cake table. Service was fast, everyone loved their dishes from drinks, appetizers and entree. I'm so happy it went well, everyone was going on about how a wonderful selection it was to eat. Would highly recommend for any large gathering !! read more
