    Shrimp tacos
    Rhonda S.

    What a cool restaurant and bar in Springfield. I really enjoyed our lunch here. Their happy hour board mentioned an appetizer "Lincoln Logs" (bwaaa haa haaar!) but it is not on the regular menu. We ordered them and were a bit surprised to see how large these logs were. They are enormous fried monterey jack cheese sticks. Mmmmmm! They were good, served with a side of ranch. The service is fast and friendly, I think our server was named Quinn. She was very good. My brother and I shared the grilled fish tacos and the shrimp tacos, both of which were very tasty. I liked the shrimp tacos a little bit better, not sure why but I liked the presentation and the fillings. Our friend got a pulled pork sandwich with fries and she enjoyed it. The bar area is dark mostly because of the wood and has some charm. I loved that they had a Touch Tunes jukebox so we had fun playing our favorite songs and torturing the other guests with our 80s music. Lots of TVs in the bar area and a good selection of food.

    Great original horseshoe!!

    Every bar/restaurant should be this nice - dark wood, full bar, extensive food menu, screens for sports, great music playing.' Had their famous original horseshoe - burger on one slice of Texas toast, smothered in a wonderful cheese sauce. Customizable - your choice of proteins (chicken, pork, impossible burger, etc) and cheese sauces. The original was perfect - with no added sodium as I requested. Worth your time if you're traveling thru - wish I lived closer, as I would be a regular!!

    came to the area on the way to St. Louis from Peoria for our little weekend roadtrip. We were between here and another place because we wanted to try the city famous "horseshoe". We got the burger horseshoe with waffle fries and the queso on top of Texas toast. Each item was good on their own, but didn't add much to each other. We still enjoyed it though! We also got a Cobb salad which was probably the best salad we've had! The chicken was crunchy and it had the perfect balsamic dressing paired with it! We got a few rounds of the mimosas because they were really good but very strong which we loved. The waitress was very nice! Street parking! Old pub vibes

    Carne Asada Tacos. Great flavors!

    Haven't been back to Boone's since it was Boone's Saloon a few years ago, and I understand it's under new management. It was good back then, and thankfully, it's still pretty good. We were in town for a swim meet and stopped by on a beautiful, sunny Saturday afternoon for lunch. There were 12 of us in our party, and we were seated out on the back patio. It looks like the new owners have given Boone's a bit of a facelift without losing the cool neighborhood pub vibe it always had. The menu seems to not have changed a whole lot either, which is also good. BYO Burgers, BYO Mac and Cheese, Horseshoes, Street Tacos and some nice salads... they've got a little something for everyone. Also, we were traveling with children, and although Boone's is definitely a corner bar, they welcomed our kiddos with no issues. Our server was fantastic. We arrived with 12 people with no warning, and she couldn't have been more pleasant. She was super accommodating and even split the bill three ways with no issues. The back patio is partially shaded and features a great view of the state capitol. I built my own burger and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and definitely a hand packed patty. They had some great sauces and lots of options for toppings. I didn't get chance to snap a picture before I ate 1/2 of it. A few folks at our table had the street tacos, and they were also really good. Others decided to build your on Mac and cheese, and again, they said it was great. A nice place to spend an afternoon on a beautiful sunny day. Well done Boone's.

    Had lunch here today. Probably would not come back here to eat. The service was great, fast and friendly. The food on the other hand could really use some love. My daughter got chicken strips and fries. The chicken was almost burnt when it was delivered. Should not have been served. The "grilled chicken" on the salad was boiled flavorless chicken. The homemade croutons are nothing more than white bread. Some seasonings go along way on food. $9 for a bloody mary with very warm toppings is a huge disappointment. Throw the garnishes on some ice or something. Limp warm celery is not a garnish and nobody wants warm cheese. If you want underwhelming food with zero flavor this is your place.

    Very cool bar and grill. We sat outside on the patio for Saturday brunch and there is a cool view of the capitol building. Our server was efficient. The brunch items were basic but good and priced fairly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for brunch in Springfield. The Boone's brew wasn't my favorite but definitely worth a try.

    SO glad I walked for a mile in the blistering heat to come here…read more I am staying at the super 8, and it was on the hotel recommendation list. I wanted to watch the Michigan wolverines game so I called down there and spoke to a really nice woman, who ended up being my bartender when I got there. I was originally going to go to four stars, but they are getting five because the bartender told me that they would change the channel for me at whatever TV I was sitting at so I could watch my game! I sat at the bar naturally after being greeted by the really nice hostess. Now generally I despise this state outside of rural areas because the people here are just menacingly rude and judgmental. That being said, walking to the bar, all of the afternoon patrons in there were casting looks at me that could tame a rabid polar bear. Already dealing with that in other parts throughout the state, I just sat there and smiled as they stared and judged. Anyhow, my first bartender, I never caught her name, but she was excellent! Took really good care of me. Shift change in the middle of my visit, and my second bartender was jennifer, she was equally as delightful! I ordered fried okra for an appetizer when I got there, drank some beers, had a couple VERY well proportioned glasses of whiskey and watched my game. Come suppertime, I turned around to see the crowd and the entire restaurant was completely packed! And the personalities of the people that I interacted with at this point were a complete 180. SUPER nice people. For supper I ordered the ribeye, rare. I first cut into it and it looked medium, but sometimes steak just Cooks quicker in certain areas, but outside of the end piece that was cooked perfectly. I had a loaded baked potato which was seasoned great, and green beans and I had blackberry cobbler for dessert, per the recommendation of my bartender. Right through the doors, they have gaming, and a few slot machines also, if that's your thing. I really enjoyed the decorum, and the place was really clean, even the bathrooms. It's not very often that I would return to a restaurant in the state, but this is definitely worth revisiting if I'm ever back in the area! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

    Unbelievable service and food! My husband and I came in for…read morebreakfast today, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. I was looking for something with beans and originally ordered the breakfast huarache, mistakenly assuming it was a burrito. I prefer flour tortillas over corn, which started a whole conversation about how the dish is prepared. First, our waiter went to the kitchen to check on modifications, then a second waiter kindly came over to explain the traditional preparation, and finally, the chef himself came out to help! He explained that a huarache is open-faced, not a burrito, but immediately offered a perfect solution: he could custom-make their breakfast burrito using pinto beans as the protein for me instead. When the chef brought it out, it was HUGE. He took the time to explain exactly how he made it and told me to just ask for him or request the modification next time. Not only was the service incredibly attentive, but the burrito was easily the best I've ever had. It's 9 hours later and I am still full from eating just half of it! The food is amazing, the restaurant is clean, and it's clear this team truly cares about their customers. We will definitely be back!
