    yummy beer
    Lisa H.

    after a seven hour drive that felt like at least 13 hours, i went against my standing rule never to eat at a hotel site restaurant. part of me feels like i should continue this rule... our server was very nice, i think her name was gracen (?), i ordered a pinot noir, since i'm fancy and heart healthy that way. my lovely date had a corona. we ordered crunchy spicy cauliflower as an appetizer, in a nod to healthy eating. this was a mistake. my yummy date ordered fish and chips, with french fries and coleslaw. more on the coleslaw fiasco of 2025 later. i ordered the center cut filet mignon, which comes with two sides. i chose mashed potatoes (another mistake) and garlic green beans. gracen was still cool. as we talked about everything and nothing while sipping our drinks, we watched others around us get their food. we started wondering about the crunchy spicy cauliflower appetizer. were they growing the vegetable? where was it? gracen brought our entrees. as you can see from the accompanying picture, my mashed potatoes were served as balls. that's cool, i don't mind eating a potato ball. i do, however, mind eating a cold potato ball. steak was actually good. garlic green beans had absolutely no kick to them, so i doused them in pepper, with eternal hopes of finding taste somewhere. i must address the issue of the coleslaw - look at the picture - it was slaw mixed with LETTUCE, and served on a warm entree plate. my lovely dinner partner asked me to taste it. against my better instincts, but fortified by this time with another drink (a lovely gin filled lemonade), i ate a bite. look, some people might not mind eating warm salad mixed with coleslaw parts, but it just isn't right. here's where it gets interesting. the manager brought us the CRUNCHY spicy cauliflower, which was supposed to be an appetizer, and apologized, took it off the bill. that was cool, very nice of her. however, that appetizer was awful. it was soggy and lukewarm, with the kick of a sickly kitten. gracen did tell us (when she came back, i think she felt bad about it, but truly, we weren't upset) the cook was new. i guess that explains the cold potatoes, weird warm slaw/lettuce salad and the drenched in sadness cauliflower. all that said, we returned here the next night, simply because my butt was too lazy to fight for a spot at the iffy restaurants that surround the hotel. the second night, we ate at the bar. i have absolutely no recollection of what i ate, but i do remember dropping my fork twice, while the lovely bartender pretended he did not see it happening and simply provided me with another fork. here is a word of warning: do not drink french 75's on an empty stomach after you have been walking around in the heat for hours. and certainly don't drink TWO french 75's, followed by wine. even though the all the food wasn't fantastic, the service was great and everyone was very friendly (both nights). i probably won't go back though, since 1. i live numerous hours away, and 2. the fork thing. i still have faint residuals of laughter in my memories from nearby patrons, but am trying to tell myself that was just me, laughing at my own french 75 soaked self. we will never know. p.s. - the first night was $88.08 and i left a $20 tip, since i wanted to make sure gracen didn't feel bad about the almost absent cauliflower appetizer, scary lettuce slaw, and bizarre potato balls. i lost the receipt for the second night, but am fairly certain i should have been charged for two missing forks.

    In one long weekend, I dined three times in this restaurant. Connected to the hotel, their service staff is kind and friendly. I had a large salad for lunch, a club sandwich for dinner with Parmesan potatoes served with a wonderful aïoli and then a few days later for a late night snack shared wings. The restaurant is in great repair and very clean. Next time I'm in the area. I will likely choose this location because of the restaurant.

    Restaurant is in the doubletree hotel so we ate here while attending a conference. The cocktails were well made, the food was good and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. What more can you ask? Only reason they got 4 stars was there just wasn't anything extraordinary.

    I had a spicy hot chicken salad with chunks of bleu cheese, pecans, croutons, red onions, cherry tomatoes and a delicious vinaigrette. The greens were so crisp and fresh. My first bite was heavenly and I could not stop until my husband asked for pieces of the chicken, which was crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful inside. Yummy. The service was great! Very friendly staff and accommodating. Very nice dining room. The seating was very comfortable and plenty of televisions to look at all the games. The ladies room is decorated with tiles from the floor to the ceiling,I had to stop and say wow! Nice place and I am glad we stopped in, what a treat!

    Steak and wedge salad
    Emily M.

    This was my second visit here and I had a much better experience than the first time. The first time we came for happy hour because of the great deals. The food was less than good. I didn't write a review but would have been about 2 stars based on cheap quality. However this must be a "depends on what you order restaurant" because I came back for dinner and ordered the steak and wedge salad (no beets), and it was delicious! Ate every bite. However the restaurant was not busy and service was very, very slow. But I would come back again and order this same entree. The ambience is upscale and clean. Very nice inside and decent prices.

    Kansas City burger.......try it.......might change your life, worst case.....a party in your mouth and one of the best burgers I've had.

    You won't find KJ Brewskies on any influencer's list of must-visit spots -- and that's exactly why…read moreit's worth your time. It sits off the main drag, the kind of bar you notice only after you've driven past it a dozen times. But step inside, and you'll realize it's one of those rare places that still knows what a bar is supposed to be. The lights are low, the air is easy, and the bar top -- polished smooth from years of elbows and stories -- gleams under the amber bulbs. The bartender greets you like an old friend, even if you've never been here before. He keeps a clean bar, tight and organized, every glass shining like it's got a reputation to uphold. People don't come to KJ Brewskies for the food. Sure, there's something hot and fried if you need it, but this isn't a place for plating or pretense. You come here for the people, the atmosphere, the simple comfort of a cold beer that doesn't cost you half a paycheck. The jukebox doesn't take quarters anymore -- progress, I suppose -- but the music's still good. Old country. Classic rock. Songs that sound better when they're a little too loud. Over in the corner, someone's lining up a pool shot. Darts whistle through the air. Shuffleboard pucks slide and kiss the end of the table with a satisfying clack. What makes this place special, though, is how it shifts with the seasons. When the weather turns warm, they throw open the doors and roll out the crawfish pots. It's all elbows, laughter, and the unmistakable smell of spice and beer in the air. Fall might bring a chili cook-off, winter maybe a small charity drive -- each one another excuse for the regulars and newcomers alike to gather, eat, drink, and remember what community feels like. KJ Brewskies isn't trying to be anything more than what it is. It's a good bar -- honest, lived-in, alive. A place to forget the headlines, to talk about nothing important, to exist for a few hours without explanation. Places like this are getting harder to find. And maybe that's why, when you walk out into the night -- the jukebox still humming behind you -- you already know you'll be back.

    KJ's is one of Springfields "true" remaining dive bar's. It's what you would expect; extremely…read moredark, a couple pool tables, and a shuffleboard table for entertainment. They have a jukebox when there isn't karaoke running 4 nights a week. It's actually pretty big for a dive, with a huge seating area in the front, as well as the back. They offer two stages; one in the main part of the bar, and the other outside where you may also smoke. Although they don't use them much because they don't have live music often "which I think is a bummer." On a positive note they are still the cheapest place in town. Here you are still able to get a bottle of beer for under $2.50

I found Fire & Ice Restaurant & Bar on Yelp! and decided to give it a try. Jordan seated me and was also my waiter. He was professional and attentive, which was much appreciated. They have a limited menu, but the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Pasta seemed like a good option. Boy was I RIGHT! This was a very flavorful and somewhat healthy dish that hit the spot. The location is a bit odd. It's located in a hotel that's in an area with a guarded gate. The restaurant is right next to an outdoor pool, with lots of glass.

    LOUD AF on a Tuesday night with incredibly slow service…read more I like to eat in local places while we're on the road. Read about this place being historic with a beautiful bar and lovely tin ceiling. And that is all true. Walked in and could not believe how loud the single singer with an acoustic guitar was. There was a sound engineer, working a board, so he must've thought that level was OK. But you could not have a conversation at all. I was wishing for earplugs. When we first stepped in, I considered just looking at the carved mahogany bar and going somewhere else. But, we figured it should be fast and we could endure the cacophony for a short time. We were so wrong about it being fast. There was only one wait staff working that night, and she was also behind the bar. When she finally moseys over to us, she admitted she had forgotten all about us. She then took our drink order, and the drinks came quickly. But then she literally never came back to take a food order. Watched her go to all the other tables, watched her clean off the bar, watched her answer a phone call for a takeout order, and then I finally went up to the bar and asked her if we could put in a food order. Once the food was ordered it came out quickly. My husband's smashburger and candied pecan salad were both really delicious. I am a sucker for a local food item whenever I see it on the menu, and I made the mistake of ordering the cashew chicken poutine. The cashew sauce had zero flavor and was just overly salty. The chicken was fried very tough. At least the cheese curds were good. But I barely ate any of it. Nothing but regret about this choice.
