Amazing would go again multiple times!…read more This was the first time I went to Springfield and my friends brought me to The Table and I would come to Springfield again just for this place. Before you even walk in the building looks amazing, it's more spacious in the inside than it looks on the outside. Big open space and a little shop and showcased so many great items. There was jazz music playing and everything just felt cozy. Also it might sound weird but go use the restrooms! They look fantastic and will give you many ideas just for decorating. The food was delicious I had gotten the S'mores Iced Latte, Caprese Toast and shared Berries & Cream Pancakes. You might say wow $14 for some Caprese Toast but it was so filling you really don't need anything else. Everything was reasonably priced due to how elegant and delicious the food was. The service was really quick and it was fairly busy the food was hot and everything tasted really fresh. The people were very kind and helpful with any questions. The service was very professional and enjoyable!

Made it back to the place and another good visit…read more - see that bacon jam sauce on the burger?....that is darn good. I'm not one to mess with my traditional burger taste. But that bacon jams sauce really works! - The corn dip we had for an appetizer - that dish was really good. Did I say really? Yeah, really good. - Chicken sandwich - If I was you...I'd skip that one. Nothing special. Dry. Just not a good menu item. To the owners if they read this: The place is too nice to have counter service to order. Both times I've been here, it is always backed up and takes a good while to order. We were the 3rd group back last night. Parties of 2, each group was. And it takes too long. To end on a positive note: the place is neat and always great to have people revitalize an old building in our town.

My server was friendly and professional, however. I ordered the fish tacos. The fish was crunchy and delicious, but there was very little in each taco, with each piece only running about 2/3 the length of the small tortilla. The tacos, despite their many toppings, tasted rather flat, although the slaw was fresh. One more thing: The limes that came with my drink and tacos were drying out and faded. Overall, I was unimpressed and hope others have a better experience!

After moving back from Las Vegas, this was my first time eating at Lindberg's in a little over two…read moreyears. 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.

This one guy with an acoustic guitar was so incredibly loud it was painful to sit through. Amplified like it was a rock concert.

The fries were killer and the taste was fantastic. But no....they've gone to some Sysco pre-fab fry....that frankly....is lousy. They potato doesn't even have a real potato taste. My final thought: Go to Lindbergh's for the absolute best burger and fry combo in Springfield. They fry the burger in duck fat - any more questions about how good it'll be?! That's right, Lindbergh's on Commercial St.

I must say, with the utmost sincerity and considerable pleasure, that my recent visit to Jimms…read moreSteakhouse and Pub proved to be an exceedingly delightful affair from beginning to end. It is not every day that one has the good fortune to encounter a proper establishment in which the atmosphere, the company, and the meal all combine so agreeably, but Jimms most certainly provided such an occasion. Upon entering, I was immediately pleased by the character of the establishment. There is something wonderfully comforting about a steakhouse and pub that possesses a sense of occasion without becoming tiresome or pretentious. One may settle oneself comfortably, converse at leisure, and look forward to a proper meal with the agreeable certainty that one has made a very sound decision indeed. Now, to the principal matter at hand: the food. I had the distinct pleasure of ordering the prime rib, and I can say without the slightest hesitation that I thoroughly, wholeheartedly, and almost embarrassingly enjoyed it. It was an absolute triumph. The sort of dish that arrives at the table and immediately commands one's attention, rendering all conversation temporarily secondary. The prime rib was wonderfully prepared, exceedingly satisfying, and possessed that magnificent quality which makes one pause between bites simply to appreciate what one has been fortunate enough to receive. Every bite was an absolute pleasure. The meat was tender, beautifully cooked, rich in flavour, and possessed precisely the hearty savoury character one hopes to encounter when ordering a proper piece of beef. It was indulgent without becoming excessive, substantial without being tiresome, and sufficiently splendid that I found myself wishing the portion might somehow defy the ordinary laws of appetite. Had the laws of polite society permitted me to continue eating indefinitely, I suspect I should have made a valiant attempt. The other gentleman in our party selected the New York strip steak, and I am delighted to report that his experience was equally successful. He thoroughly enjoyed his steak and spoke very highly of it throughout the meal. From what I observed, it was an exceedingly handsome specimen of beef, prepared with considerable care and possessing precisely the robust character one expects from a fine New York strip. There is something particularly gratifying about dining with companions when everyone at the table receives precisely what they had hoped for. No disappointed faces, no regrettable selections, and no solemn contemplation of the menu wondering where it all went wrong. Rather, we found ourselves enjoying our respective steaks immensely and exchanging the occasional approving remark between bites, which, in my estimation, is a rather reliable indication that the kitchen has done its duty admirably. Indeed, the meal was sufficiently good that one rather loses track of time. The conversation continues, the plates gradually empty, and before one knows it, one is sitting there contemplating whether ordering another course would constitute gluttony or merely demonstrate excellent judgement. I shall leave that philosophical question to wiser men, but I will say that Jimms certainly inspired the temptation. The entire experience had the pleasant quality of an evening one might very much wish to prolong, preferably with another glass of something agreeable and perhaps another helping, should one's dignity permit such extravagance. There are establishments where one eats because one is hungry, and there are establishments where one eats because the food itself becomes part of the evening. Jimms belongs firmly in the latter category. I should also commend the overall atmosphere. Jimms Steakhouse and Pub has that wonderfully comfortable quality which makes a meal feel like an occasion rather than merely an exercise in acquiring nourishment. It is the sort of place where one can settle in, enjoy one's company, take one's time over a proper meal, and allow the evening to unfold without feeling hurried. That quality is increasingly rare and, in my opinion, deserves considerable appreciation. Our meal was hearty, satisfying, memorable, and thoroughly enjoyable. The prime rib alone would have been sufficient reason for me to leave a favourable review, but the excellent New York strip enjoyed by my companion, coupled with the pleasant surroundings and the general success of the evening, made the occasion all the more worthwhile. I departed feeling exceedingly content, which is surely one of the highest compliments a restaurant can receive. There is a particular satisfaction in leaving a dining establishment with the firm conviction that the money spent, the time taken, and the appetite expended have all been put to excellent use. Such was precisely the case here. Would I return? Without question. Would I recommend Jimms? Most certainly.

While they still have outside seating there is no longer an outside bar. Therefore if you are outside you have to walk halfway around the building to get a drink "extremely inconvenient."

A small patty melt with fries will coast you $10, and a pitcher of domestic is $8.50. These are premium prices, and the owners need to realize what side of town they're on, and who their customer base is.
