Pappos is hands down my favorite pizza place in town. Such a vast menu with so many unique pizza combinations. Their thin crust is perfectly crispy and toppings are always balanced. We love the downtown location, it has such cool vibes. The service is always great. They get pretty busy on the weekends but service is still great! read more

The pizza crust is to die for. The perfect amount of chew and char on the crust. I could eat these the rest of my life and die happy. The vibe is super cute in there too. Good for a date night or a hangout spot. Family friendly too. The hostess was so kind and sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and happy with our order. We loved it so much we went back the next night. read more

Ate here in the evening after Missouri Comicon. This is my first time in Springfield so I appreciate some of their St. Louis adjacent menu items. The atmosphere is spot on as bar/pizzeria, with us getting a booth right by the window. While our server was really friendly, I wouldn't say the service was stellar. We had our food come out at wildly different times. One salad first, then 5 mins later the other salad. One person's pizza, then 10 mins later one person's wings that was going to be their entree, and then finally the appetizers. It really detracted from the meal. It also wasn't busy enough for us to ask for the cookies we ordered at the start of our meal no less than 3 times, and while we were assured they were ready and warm waiting for us, they didn't arrive until we asked the last time, AFTER we already took care of the check. We never got refills until we asked, but the server did offer to make them to go, which I declined because I honestly just wanted more before the end of our meal. The food itself was just ok. The TRavs were pretty tasty but the eggplant appetizer for $10 is actually offensive with 4 slices, undercooked. What actually saved the meal was the salad. I had to pick out the provel (because I asked for no cheese) but it was fresh, flavorful, and pretty large for a small salad. read more

I do not understand any establishment that would not do research on when shows would be performing, and they are right next door. We generally love this place and have had good service. BUT.... We went into PaPPo's last night(6/17/25) with an hour and half before the show. The staff which included one server, one bartender, and get this... one cook. The bartender took forever to even acknowledge us and when we flagged her down, seemed apologetic and got our drink order and took our food order(you know because the show) Then she forgot to poor my beer and I had to ask for it again. WTH!! I don't blame the staff, I blame management.. Covid is over!! Fill your staff.. anyway I digress. Then after 40 mins, I asked when we'd get our food and she speaks to the one cook and he hadn't even started the order... ARE YOU SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME!!! We had to cancel the order, you know cause he had not even started it!! I paid for the beer and left to go to the show. Again, not the cooks fault!! Hey Management!! When you know better, you do better!!! Never going back!!! I have a feeling they won't change!!!! read more

Saw this on a local tv promotional show and decided to try it, especially the brown butter cookies. I'm waiting for the cookies to bake, they are baked fresh in house and require 15 minutes. The lunch special was the perfect amount of food, salad was overdressed, I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side. Fresh lettuce, dried cranberries with walnuts and goat cheese, what's not to like! My pizza had a crispy crust and the toppings were yummy. read more

Right off the bat, I was greeted by very friendly staff who were keeping busy during the slow opening hour by watering plants or restocking the bar. I decided to head to the bar backed by the very friendly Karlie. Started off with the Scottish eggs, and they came out piping hot and fresh with a side of spicy mustard. The combination of savory sausage flavor, sweetness of the deviled egg, and a dab of spicy mustard made these starters absolutely worth the choice but could almost be a meal itself! Going further along with the Irish setting, I also went with the original cottage pie, loaded of course, and hands down it's the best pie I've had. The beef, gravy, vegetables, and potatoes added with the garlic mashed potatoes and pie crust was absolute bliss. Again, piping hot from the oven with that perfect mix of soft and crunch from the crust was perfection comfort food. Paired with a Guinness, this is as close to heaven as one can get during work's hour lunch break. The bar area started filling up with the lunch crowd towards the end, but Karlie expertly managed all of it with ease, remaining attentive to the gathering crowd while multitasking between taking food orders and serving as well as bartending. This masterful combination of service, atmosphere, and great food is hard to find around Springfield, but Dublin Pass nailed it while making it look easy, making them a highly suggested stop.

I was looking for places near the hotel and seen the positive reviews on The Garden Grill in the hotel so I decided to give it a try. I started off with an order of wings, ordered two ways, Buffalo and Sweet Chili Sesame. The wings were extremely taste. I ordered the 14 Oz Ribeye with a blue cheese crust along with a house salad and grilled asparagus for sides. The steak was amazing, great quality, cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the in house steak sauce paired perfectly with the steak. The service like the food was exceptional!! I will certainly eat here every time I'm in Springfield, regardless if I'm staying there or not. Highly Recommended!!

I've had the same waitress multiple times that "Anastasia J." had and she's fantastic. Looks like there was a full soda on the table when she's reporting not getting any drinks. Actually was privy to how awful this person was to this waitress, so bad that the table next to them left $140 tip to this poor girl! Taking a picture of her without her knowing and posting to a public site???? What a rude person! Anastasia obviously thinks it's okay to hide behind a computer and attack someone. A kind person would talk to a manager and not post the face of someone on social media without them knowing. Wonder if she's had this happen to her or a family member. I bet if she had she wouldn't do this to others and would find a better way to handle her temper. Content guidelines of Yelp clearly say, "Privacy: Don't publicize people's private information. For instance, please don't post close-up photos or videos of other patrons without their permission, and don't post other people's full names unless you're referring to someone who is commonly referred to by their full name." read more

To start off they forgot our menus and we had to go ask for them. Next, they didn't take our drink orders and just brought us all water and when my friend told the server we didn't get to order drinks she just said okay and didn't do anything about it. Then after waiting probably 30 mins they still haven't taken our order so we have to go ask people to take our order too. Then after probably 45 mins they bring out a pizza and it's wrong (it only had two toppings..) and burnt. Not to mention the bathrooms stink and have cobwebs. read more

Absolutely awful. I've been a repeating customer and have seen how the staff is treated. They posted some girl with her a** out on their new post while i heard some employee be reprimanded about a year ago for the same thing expect she was at least not showing extreme skin. I usually sit in the booths and hear every interaction between the employees and it seems like they have awful owners and managers. do better "pappos" or should i say "christopher's and his creep a** son warren." read more

I have been to Pappo's several times and I always have good service and great pizza, not matter how packed it is when I come in! They are more than polite and always seen relaxed. I love going here and will continue to refer friends to them and their many specialty pizzas! I haven't tried one yet that I didn't like! read more

We came here for the first time a few weeks ago because a local foodie influencer had posted that…read morethis was a really good place to eat. They included photos of the food and it looked great, so I thought we would try it out. The Chesterfield area is really cool and modern. Really chill vibes in this area, so we like to make it over when we can. We arrive at the side door and, after a minute or two, one of the waiters let us know that we can sit where we want. We take a seat and wait for a waiter to come over. It was quite a while before someone came over to greet us at the table and take our drink orders, but a lady finally did show up. She took our drink order and it was a while before she brought the drinks back. Then we were finally able to order our apps and food. It took quite a while to get everything, and what we actually received wasn't quite on the same level of what we expected to see. I had the chili spaghetti and it was not great. The chili was not chili-ing. It was a weird consistency and the overall dish was kinda thick and dry, if that makes sense. I also ordered a small, thin crust pizza, and it was like a cracker with cheese and meat on top. I didn't know it was going to be quite that thin, but it wasn't the worst thing I had ever eaten or anything. It just wasn't very good-quality. Everything here seems really highly processed and pulled from bags and bins. Ordering marinara sauce took forever to get. When I ordered one more after she brought one for my son, I never got it until we were done eating and ready to pay. Mind you, she didn't stay at the table long enough for everyone at the table to say what they needed; otherwise I could've ordered mine with his. I hate to say it, but Garbo's was kind of a disappointment. It has so much potential, especially with them doing trivia upstairs and with the business being in such a cool area. I'm not sure that we will go back. The food wasn't that great and the service needs major improvement. Also, when new customers would arrive and stand at the front door, clearly having come for the first time and not knowing the process, the staff would walk right past them without saying a word (multiple times). No greeting. No "have a seat where you'd like," or anything. I ended up waving people down and letting them know that they can sit where they want so they're not just standing there awkwardly, forever waiting for the staff to greet them. Not cool guys. Lastly, the restrooms were kind of dirty, mainly the floors. I got in and out to wash my hands quickly. Overall, our visit was pretty underwhelming. Like I said, I'm not sure we will give it another try. (Insert emoji shrug here)

The crust is thin and crispy, but the pizza is heaping with yummy toppings that come out steaming hot. Every bit is perfect. The garden salad is one of my top Springfield salad choices. It's heaping with always fresh greens and healthy toppings. The taste combo is so good I copycat this salad at my own house. You can't go wrong with Garbos. I have never had a bad experience here and I am a middle-ages picky ass woman.
