Imagine my sadness then when I realized it had olives on it. Not a big thing though, as these mistakes happen. I took it back to the window and pointed out it wasn't supposed to have olives on it. The girl I spoke with asked to see my receipt showing it wasn't supposed to have olives. I showed her the receipt and it showed 'no sig sauce' but didn't say anything about the olives. Apparently I also ordered a side of attitude without realizing it because she got all huffy and demanded to know what I wanted her to do about it. I politely told her I thought she should remake the sandwich. I thought her head was going to spin off as she grabbed the sandwich from me and threw it into the trash. The new sandwich I got looked just as good as the original minus the olives but I was almost afraid to bite in to it for fear she spit into it out of spite.

If you're anywhere near Springfield, Missouri, you have to check out Big Dog Deli. And honestly, if…read moreyou're not nearby, it's still worth the drive or a flight. Chef John and Casey are incredible. I had their gourmet hot dogs and the Great Dane sandwich, and the flavors were creative, bold, and perfectly balanced. Chef John clearly has a vast knowledge of blending flavors and crafting truly unique sauces you simply won't find on any grocery store shelf. The entire concept is so fun. From the clever dog-themed sandwich names to the fun logo and even their merchandise, you can tell this place was built with passion and creativity by true dog lovers. Springfield is lucky to have them. Big Dog Deli is an experience, not just a meal and it's absolutely worth checking out.

GREAT BBQ IN SPRINGFIELD, MO ===========================…read more My husband and I stopped for lunch at Whole Hog Cafe on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. It was a good halfway point between Indianapolis, Indiana and El Reno, near Oklahoma City. I am really glad I chose this place because the food was very good. I am a creature of habit so of course I chose the pulled pork sandwich and that was delicious. My husband chose the brisket as usual. The steak fries were good too. It was an easy stop from the I-44.

They took my order right away and let me enjoy a ginger beer while the magic happened inside. The curry chicken dinner player came with steamed cabbage accented with some bell peppers and a side of rice. By all accounts, this was probably too much food but for the price it was an absolute bargain! This plate was loaded with so much flavor I forgot that I was sitting in the corner of a parking lot. With the palm trees swaying to my side and the sun shining, I was transported to the island myself! The amount of options on the menu is enough to make any customer happy. Whether you're looking for healthier options or that authentic jerk spice that Jamaica is known for. Great portions and options if you're on a tight budget or if you just want something outside of the Springfield norm.

The food truck is nicely decorated and has a good seating area, perfect for a nice day. The owners are wonderful people and put a lot of love into these dishes. If you haven't tried it yet, go now, I promise you won't regret it. Go show them some love and they'll show you it back.

J. Parrino's Queen City Deli -- "More Than What Meats the Eye"…read more It's no wonder why J. Parrino's Queen City Deli is more than what meats the eye. The name behind it, Joe Parrino, is a renowned St. Louis restaurateur known for blending Italian tradition with classic St. Louis-style soups, sandwiches, and pastas -- and that mix absolutely shines here in Springfield. From the outside, you might not think much of it. But as they say, IYKYK. This is definitely not a book to judge by its cover. Tucked on the east side of Sunshine, it's the kind of local gem you'll want to keep in your lunch rotation. I started with the Milo Salad, and wow -- thick cuts of salami and pepperoni, fresh cheese, crisp lettuce, crunchy homemade croutons, and a perfectly sliced hard-boiled egg. The dressing took it to another level -- creamy like Caesar but with a tangy vinaigrette twist. Honestly, I almost forgot to take a photo because I couldn't stop eating. And that garlic breadstick? Fresh, soft, and buttery perfection. Next up was the Parrino Special, their house sandwich -- prosciutto, salami, and incredibly tender roast beef stacked between garlic bread buns and topped with a house salad. Every bite was a dream: the crunch of the bread and salad with the tenderness of the meats created layers of flavor and texture that just worked. Pure happiness between garlic bread. The team here is friendly, fast, and full of good recommendations -- you can tell they care about what they're serving. If you're looking for a local spot that nails the trifecta of soups, salads, sandwiches, and pasta, Queen City Deli might just become your new favorite lunch stop.

Unfortunately, I left disappointed because the food quality just wasn't what I remembered. I had been telling my wife how great the food used to be--almost like gourmet bar food--and was really looking forward to sharing that experience with her. The smash burger no longer tasted like the duck-fat burger I remembered, and the fries definitely didn't seem to be house-made anymore. They tasted more like a lower-quality frozen product, which was a letdown. On the positive side, the service was excellent. Even with the restaurant getting busy and a live band setting up, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. One thing to note is that we initially arrived around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, only to find out they weren't open and was told that something came up and they didnt open until 3:00 p.m. on this Sunday. Overall, I still enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciate the great service, but I hope the kitchen can get back to the food quality that made Lindberg's one of my favorite spots in the past.
