We stopped in on a rainy weekday. The service was efficient, polite, and friendly. The food was good quality, but I regret not ordering breakfast. We shared a breakfast pancake for dessert and it was delicious. The environment is very peaceful and provides lots of ambience. read more

This is my BREAKFAST FOOD HAVEN!!! I need to eat both GLUTEN FREE and DAIRY FREE to stay healthy. They have many fun large thin beautiful pancakes options. You choose your own toppings or order one of their Masterpiece Pancakes. I usually get the Daubigny's Garden Pancake (vegan). I always feel healthy, happy and joyful after I eat this pancake! They just added another Master Vegan/GF Pancake, East India Company, this one I am going to eat for Dinner! GREAT OPTIONS for GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN and PLANT-BASED DIETS. read more

What a jewel of a place! We were driving across the country and found this place in Springfield MO. It was the best meal of our trip. We loved that it was independently owned and had its unique Dutch menu and ambiance. The menu is extensive and we wished we were not just driving through. We had breakfast options with waffle and small pancakes (forgive me I can't remember the Dutch names). Just excellent. On our way back we hopefully can stop in for dinner. read more

This is the third time I have eaten at Van Gogh's and it will be my last. The food has always been very good, but the service was atrocious today. Part of our order was delayed, and when we got our bill, we discovered that the server had overcharged us. When we brought it to her attention, she was argumentative. We asked for the menu to show her the mistake; instead, she got her manager. The manager also argued with us and refused to correct the mistake, even though she admitted it was the way the server had entered our order. This is a shame because the food has always been good. But I won't eat at either Van Gogh's or the sister restaurant, Cafe Cusco, again. When restaurant staff would rather be defensive and argue with you than correct an obvious mistake, it says a lot the business. read more

Right from the start the service was great. We where a bit out of our element. The server explained the menu very well. Which the service was phenomenal. The food did not fall short either. I have since been referring this place to random people! read more

I really love this restaurant!!!! I have been craving for Amsterdam food for so long and finally I found this restaurant! I would really recommend you to get the Holland pancake since it is one of the famous food in Amsterdam and they actually make it pretty good. Please eat it with original taste and then with their homemade syrup. I will definitely go there next time! The food is really delicious and the server is really friendly. read more

I was here two weeks ago and everything was great. Today I came for brunch and my server told me it was state law that she could not accept an ID that's vertical. I have an enhanced Washington ID they do not require that it expires on my 21st birthday so it is still valid until 2022. I looked it up and the only state with a law against vertical IDs is Arizona. NOT only that but I was here 2 weeks ago and was served with no issue. I don't appreciate being lied to by my server and I wish you could train your staff properly about ID valid ** I showed the server my Washington ID and my University if Washington debit card. There should have been no doubt it was legitimate. read more

In from STL city! We went from brunch two days in a row! The haag meal with scrambled eggs, toasts, and homemade chips was our favorite meal. Also loved all the warmed drinks, especially the Belgian hot chocolate! We tried a large pancake with fruit and whipped cream and enjoyed that as well. We'll be back! read more

1st time I visited thought it was awesome. 2nd time stopped by as a family after thanksgiving. Not only were the menus sticky and grimy but before we even ordered we spotted a cockroach on the table. At that point we walked out before ordering. I want to hope they improve but if there are cockroaches in the dining room you wonder how much worse the kitchen is. read more

Five stars goes out just for its unique features! Where else can someone find food from the Netherlands in the Mid West?! The atmosphere is light and casual, with traditional decor to represent the Dutch culture. They have a good selection of options on the menu, and they also are conscious about dairy free, gluten free, and vegan options. Average entree price is around 10-15 dollars. These people know how to use arugula. read more

We've been here twice now. Both times on a Sunday afternoon. Both times we've waited over an hour for food. The first time was a bit more excusable. The restaurant was packed and there was a fairly long wait just to be seated. When the food FINALLY arrived, we all agreed it wasn't all that amazing, and the portions were quite small for the price we were paying. Also, to put it lightly, the coffee just wasn't good. Nothing was a deal-breaker on this visit though. And, our server was fantastic, which really helped make up for everything. The second time we called ahead. Even though I was told there was only about a fifteen-minute wait, we live close so got us on the list. When we arrived the restaurant was only about half full. (Which begs the question: Why the wait?) Anyhow, I checked in with the hostess and was told our table was all set. Then, she proceeded to verbally direct me to our table. That's right! She didn't even take us to our table! This threw me a bit, but I rolled with it. Once seated, it took about ten minutes for a server to show up at our table. He took our drink orders and promptly returned with them to take our orders, which he did. And, we waited. And, we waited. And, we waited. Nobody stopped by the table. Not once. For over an hour. Finally, I got up and told someone how long we'd been waiting and asked if our food was coming any time soon. The response I got was SHOCKING! No apology. No attempt to make anything right. No. What I got was someone who made excuses about how Sunday is their busiest day. To which I replied about how the restaurant is half empty. She said that didn't change the fact that the kitchen is backed up because they're so busy. She didn't even offer to check on our food. Just excuses and attitude. So, I told her we were just going to leave and eat somewhere else. As we were walking away from our table, she caught us and rudely told us our food just came up if we still wanted it. We just told her no and walked out. This was, quite honestly, one of the worst sit-down restaurant experiences I've ever had. I REALLY wanted to like this place. I mean, it IS different. And, it's obvious they're trying to be high-end without being stuffy. But, they're REALLY missing the mark with the long waits. And, they completely failed on the customer service front for our second visit. I'm not so sure we'll ever be giving them a third chance. EDIT: I am blown away by the business owner's argumentative, victim-blaming, and condescending response to my review. I have NEVER in my life been treated so poorly by a restaurant! You're correct, Claire G., "you can't please all of the people all of the time" but, you'll never please customers who have issues with your establishment if you treat them like they're the problem instead of taking their complaints as constructive criticism and improving your quality as a result. I, typically, ignore negative comments on Yelp. Especially when the bulk of the reviews are positive. This time it burned me. I'll simply chalk this one up to experience. We will NEVER go back to this establishment, and we will be warning everyone we know. I'm also dropping my rating to a 1. It would be zero if the scale would allow. read more

Everything we ate here was good... the crape with sausage was good but the spicy sausage, was a bit much for me, but had amazing taste. Not a fan of the pea soup which was too thick, but the sandwich was great. Will definitely go back when I'm the area..waitress was very nice... prices were just a bit high for the amount of food you get, but are so appealing that we are okay with the price. read more

Foolish business. Third time (AND LAST)! Food is fine but service is abominable, including the manager. Overcharged us and argued with us about it. I don't argue back much, just vote with my feet. Young manager will learn with time that fixing an obvious mistake of one of her servers is better for her restaurant than lying to cover up errors. Too many excellent restaurants in Springfield to support this pompous "eeterie". read more

We went here for breakfast. We wanted the Dutch pancake to remind us of Abrua were we have had the Dutch pancake before! Food was good!

This is a very nice restaurant and great addition to Springfield. We enjoy eating here.

Holy smokes, this place was unbelievable. I'm traveling across the country, and I'm glad I stumbled across this gem. First things first, the interior of this place is gorgeous and full of natural light. I really loved the Dutch wooden shoes on the walls and decorations. We were greeted by very friendly staff and seated immediately at the cutest table. Our waitress was so sweet and helped us figure out the menu. She spent over 15 minutes talking with my mom about the area and joking with us. As someone who has a gluten allergy, I wasn't expecting many choices at a bistro that I could actually eat, but there's gluten free options that ACTUALLY taste good that aren't just something like a salad. My mom ordered an Indian chicken skewer dish, my brother got the brexit breakfast (love the name), and I ordered the Dutch pancakes GF with blueberries and lemon drizzle. I about died when the giant pancake came out covered in blueberries, compote, and topped with ice cream. The pancake was the traditional thin and airy cake, and the compote was rich and full of flavor. You gotta love a place that serves French vanilla ice cream that actually tastes like real vanilla. I got halfway through the pancake before I traded with my mom for half of her food (it's always fun to share). I devoured one of her chicken skewers while dipping the meat in the zesty peanut sauce. Her food looked like a small portion, but the richness and flavor of the food quickly fills you up. It didn't hurt that the fries were super crispy and seasoned, and the coleslaw was fresh and crunchy. The brexit breakfast looked like a traditional English full fry, but I actually prefer theirs over the traditional one I've tasted in the U.K. My brother could barely finish all of his, so I stole a bite of what looked like an English banger sausage. It tasted better than the original since it was sort of like a kielbasa sliced in half and fried to crispy perfection. I know I'm praising this place but they deserve it. The service was amazing, the food was to die for, and the price was fairly reasonable. If I'm ever traveling in this part of the country again, l'll make sure I stop off here. read more

Great food and very friendly service. Sauerkraut was on point! I also loved the hot chocolate. Would recommend.

The food is amazing, Nick is very kind and provides outstanding service, and the environment is not overwhelming or loud. Definitely would eat here again! read more

This was our first time eating at Van Gogh's for breakfast and it was phenomenal! Our waiter, Forest, recommended his favorites and everything was delicious. I would encourage everyone to try their savory and sweet pancakes for a true Dutch style breakfast! read more

Wonderful food and service! Lots of gluten free options. Quiet environment. Good prices too!

First of all, I've eaten tofu before and i have never liked it. This dish, this dish is on another level. I took a shot in the dark ordering this, and i couldn't have been more pleased. I also hate mushrooms but loved the way it tasted in this. I washed it down with a chai tea (sub almond milk). To die for! Service was great! The guy was very nice and helpful! The butter and ketchup were both vegan, too! (: read more

This was good for what it was, but not my taste. Traditional dutch food that we had for brunch. It was good, but my family and I didn't realize we would be getting dutch food. If you check in, they have a 5% off coupon! read more

Such a wonderful breath of fresh air into Springfield! Super flavorful and just as filling. Love the calm, cheerful atmosphere and friendly service! The curry ketchup is so tasty. read more

Loved it, can't wait to go back! Authentic Dutch dishes and clear descriptions for people who don't know about Dutch cuisine. Loved the beet latte and cocktails, wake me up before you gogh gogh and the stroopwaffle, yum! David was so understanding of our indecisiveness (too many good choices!) and gave good recommendations. Will recommend and return! read more

Who knew that Springfield, Mo would have such great local places to eat? We were directed to VanGogh's by our waiter last night. Breakfast was wonderful. The atmosphere is delightful.

Had a party of six for a bridesmaid brunch. The space is uniquely decorated and fun. Location on Commercial Street is close to the C Street Market and other nifty shops. Wait staff was attentive and patient as we had a couple of late arrivals. Never felt rushed. Food has a Danish influence. Everything was fresh and pretty on the plate. Prices were very reasonable. read more

We were in town for the holidays and weren't sure where to eat. My fiancé can't eat wheat so she's always on the lookout for gluten free options. She found that they had a gluten free Dutch pancake so we were sold. This place definitely feels like it was opened by somebody who spent some time in the Netherlands and loved it. The menu is full of things I've never heard of but everything feels familiar. I had a meatball sandwich which was delicious and she had the Dutch pancake. Both were excellent. Highly recommended! read more

We went to the Farmers market and after walking up and down C St. We stopped in for a Brunch time drink. Enjoyed the Snagria and Blood Mary and loved the Dutch Fries. Great menu selection and enjoyable service -Elias was a blast. What a great find - look forward to going back. read more

I was off work and had an appointment in town this morning, so I decided to finally try Van Gogh's. I got the Sunflower, a savory pancake. It was so good!

Yum! I recently visited this establishment with my son and daughter-in-law. I am pleasantly impressed with the atmosphere, the attentive wait staff and the presentation of our meal. We had breakfast/brunch on a Sunday. Our meal choices were delicious. My son had the rotterdam shwarma beef, lettuce, cucumber, creamy garlic dill & curry ketchup. He let me try a bite and WOW! It was yummy! The meat was so tender and absolutely delicious. The opa scramble meat (ham, smoked sausage, bacon) & cheese scramble, skillet chips & toast was my choice. My grandma was Danish and an excellent cook. I miss her cooking so much but now I have a place to go and feel like I am in her kitchen at her table again. This is a place you will not forget. I am so glad we have this Eeterie in Springfield now! read more

We live in Oklahoma but have family in Springfield and Van Gogh's is always one of our go-to eateries there - not only because they have great food, ambience and service, but also numerous vegan options (which is somewhat rare in Springfield, MO). We visited last weekend and enjoyed a delicious breakfast, coffee & chai, then strolled around the farmer's market just across the street. I mistakenly left my credit card behind on our table but didn't realize until I was shopping in OKC on Monday. I quickly contacted the restaurant and someone immediately responded that they had my credit card in their safe and that they would be happy to mail it to me. I just received it in the mail and am so thankful I didn't have to cancel my card! Van Gogh's is a delightful little eatery but they are also just good people. read more

Yum, very different but all yum. Nice staff. Nice selection of drinks too. Breakfast, lunch or dinner - and just dessert!

Made reservations for my husbands birthday last Saturday. The cocktails came out right before dinner (about minutes), the poor server was trying but just couldnt keep up. He was nice. Food was greasy, overpriced, and just overall experience was terrible. There were 4 of us and we are adventurous eaters but no one liked their meal. Had been looking forward to trying it for a long time. Very disappointed. read more

I had such high hopes for the eatery. The food is bland and disappointing. There was a "mix up" with our order and other tables that arrived after us received thier food before us. We were there for 30 plus minutes before receiving our order. The restautant is aesthetically pleasing...very clean and streamlined. I really like the decor. Stephanie was a shining star at Van Gogh. She apologized to us and went above and beyond to make things right. We really appreciate her efforts and the mistakes were not hers. If we return to this restaurant...it won't be any time soon. #NotAGood1stImpression read more

I went here for my birthday and it just was not great. It was pretty dead, and yet I waited awhile for my water, awhile to order. The food did come out quick but they forgot the sauce on it and then it was crazy spicy. Which isn't their fault but it really would have been nice to have a heads up that it was going to be so spicy. Especially since they saw I was sharing it with my child. They also brought it out on a hot platter. Which would be fine, except I am sharing with a baby. So I had to ask for a separate plate. It was just underwhelming I ended up just leaving before I got the rest of my food. It just was not a great time. read more

Very happy to find a restaurant that did not just use Sysco foods prepackaged food. Food was great and so was the staff. Nice to see that someone has the mind to prepare food and atmosphere. Will definitely return soon. read more

I visited another great spot in this neighborhood a few years ago and was pleased to see the area is expanding and there are lots of great ethnic, unique places to visit now. After seeing they had gluten-free pancakes and other items in the menu I was sold and was definitely not disappointed. The atmosphere is very bright and airy and the service was outstanding. I had the gluten-free Rotterdam pancake, which is topped with very savory beef schwarma, plus a fresh salad mix and creamy sauce. Though served almost like a flatbread, it was like having a Mediterranean pita. The kombucha was delicious and the rest of the menu definitely worth exploring. read more

This is the second time we have been here and it was not a good experience. It took 11 min for anyone to take our get our drink order, an hour and 15 min for our food and it was cold when we got it. We were checked on twice and got some ice for our melted drinks. It was not worth it. So we paid for our drinks and left. It took an hour and a half for this whole experience. read more
