Two chicken sandwiches, fries, side salad, appetizer, and two mixed drinks 74. Who has ever heard of getting your appetizer after your meal and your salad after that. Maybe they were having a bad day, there was only six other guests in the restaurant, so it wasn't dealing with a crowd.

We came in late on the night of March 10th as a party of 16. Not only was the food great, but the service was top notch. Considering the size of our party, I didn't have very high hopes of things going over well due to how busy they were, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I had gotten our servers name, but unfortunately, I didn't. A job well done by her!

We stopped in for dinner one night and were very happy we did. The service was great, attentive and friendly and the food was great; we tried the Buffalo chicken sandwich and a Horseshoes which is a Springfield tradition. You get a lot of food for the price, so come hungry!

Giving this hotel restaurant a 5 star because of our server Miss Cely. My son and I ordered Springfield's famous Horseshoe sandwich. It was very nice of her to split the sandwich and gave us a plate each without us asking. Her gesture meant a lot to us. Thanks so much, you are very kind. Don't be deceive by its location. The menu is decently priced, inexpensive, and comparable with other restaurant in downtown.

Ask for Tara and you will have a great experience! She is friendly, courteous and professional! The food we ordered was hot and fresh and arrived quickly! The wings were great and came with fries. Burger was huge. Perfectly grilled and delicious. It also came with fries. Drinks were well poured and fairly priced as was everything else they served.

Tried my first Horseshoe here and it was fantastic! Bartender was great too, really hustled to get everyone taken care of despite being short-staffed. So glad I stopped by here on my way back from Lincoln's Neighborhood!
