( get the tray to try all - worth it). The fries are battered so I could not have - so for me got the sweet potato's and my husband ordered the smoked bacon apple fries - he loved them! We both ordered the cappuccino shake - so rich & heavy. Beware its heavy cream heavy but delicious. Great spot & such a welcoming group. Price was worth every penny and this place makes places like Whattaburger (which we ordered on road night before ) a complete disgrace. Black sheep will be a place we visit again each time thru Springfield.

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.

The restaurant was pretty busy but our server Benjamin came over immediately and took our drink order. We ordered the Chicken nachos and they let us sub pork for the chicken. The toppings are good and plentiful but the chips were really thick. Some were crunchy while others were just hard. I was too tired to send them back and order something else so I just mostly ate the toppings. Hubby ordered the Shrimp and tenders. We were sharing and this entry was plenty to share. You get 4 decent size fried shrimp and two very large chicken tenders. They came out very hot, perfect!!! The fries were luke warm and not very good. We would get this again but probably try other sides. We noticed many people around us getting the flatbread pizzas. They all looked delicious! We definitely would come back and try other things. Fun friendly atmosphere.

I'vehad several items on the menu but always come back to the grilled cheese.

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.

Any burger I've ever had there was great. They also have amazing homemade pickles. They fries are sold separately but they are also very good. Something unique about black sheep is their specialty sauces. They will usually bring a tray of sauces out for the group. They have a cocktail menu and are also known for their alcoholic milkshakes! The only downside is they do have a very heavy greasy burger. I love black sheep but you almost can't eat the whole thing or you'll have a stomach ache.

I'll review this Hy-Vee next. ;) Our order was taken immediately by a friendly staff member and we were given a number stand for the table so they could identify us to deliver our food to our table. Then my lunch partner and I found a seat in the Hy-Vee seating area which looks like a mid-range restaurant seating area with faux leather seating and wood tables, fireplace and floral arrangements that you can purchase from Hy-Vee. It's also right in front of the bar area at the entrance to their liquor section. This Hy-Vee has a full bar and bartender! It took over 20 minutes to get our food and I went to the counter to ask about it and was told they were waiting for the onion rings to finish cooking. The onion rings were well worth the wait and were the highlight of our lunch. Fresh from the fryer, thin and crispy with their light batter, they were simply fantastic. Not greasy at all. Every bit as good as they say they are on their reality TV show. I ordered the Original Frim Dorchester (O.F.D.) burger which contained double patties, swiss cheese, sautéed onions, bacon and tomato jam. I also asked them to add sautéed onions, which they forgot but quickly corrected when I asked about it. I thought the burger was really good with all of the toppings. I didn't notice that the beef was especially flavorful. The tomato jam was the bomb and they really did a good job in sautéing the onions so they were nice and caramelized. My only complaint would be that my top hamburger bun was smashed on one side like someone sat on it. LOL! It didn't affect the flavor though. :) My lunch partner ordered the chili cheeseburger and he did not like chili at all and scraped it all off. He wished he would've ordered the O.F.D. I will definitely be back for those onion rings and to try another style of burger as well! Nice visit and I took a photo with the cut out of the Wahlburg boys, but I'm not going to post it here. Haha! Nerd alert!

My family loved the glam burgers and said they were a lot like BurgerFi burgers (their fav). Love the lettuce wrap option in lieu of the bun! I just wish they had better fries that were gluten free like fresh cut fries and a vegan/vegetarian burger like an Impossible for some of us out there as I had nothing to eat here. The meat eaters did love it though! read more
