We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

My friend had a Baja bowl that looked and smelled divine and I had the steak Gorgonzola salad, the meat portion was huge and the candied pecans were delicious. I might even bring my super judgmental west coast rude family here since I think even they would be pleased at how delicious the food was.

Unfortunately, this is the closest one to our home which means without driving 40 minutes round-trip to Springfield we commonly find ourselves at the next location....but NO MORE! When eating in the restaurant 1/2 to 2/3 of the restaurant is "closed" which simply means they've placed chairs in front of the section that is BEYOND dirty and can stay that way for hours. Even the sections open, half the tables are disgusting. When you order the food to go the vast majority of the time the order is wrong (75 to 80% at a time). Sandwiches and soup that are supposed to be warm are cold even when served in the restaurant. Components from the order or sandwiches are very frequently missing altogether. It is shocking that's all the other McAllister's in the region consistently serve quality food with accurate orders, but yet Nixa has consistently gotten worse overtime. Add to that rapidly rising prices with decreasing quality and it is a total embarrassment.

The service was fast and very friendly with very little wait time. I opted for the Light My Fire burger because I appreciate The Doors reference. Don't let the name or jalapeños fool you, it wasn't spicy but it was absolutely packed with flavor. Between the wagyu, peppers, cheese, and candied bacon this burger was spectacular! The fries are, well, fries. You have a choice of various aiolis to pick from. I chose the malt vinegar and my wife went for the garlic. In my opinion, they're better with hot spice or just ketchup but I didn't come here for the fries. We also got the Strawberry Fields and Oreo shakes. If you've ever had the cake shake from Chicago's Portillo's, you might like the Strawberry Fields shake that includes strawberry cake swimming in the strawberry shake. Definitely worth it! Overall, one of the better burgers I've had around the Springfield area, so if you're out for a quick burger that's a step up from the rest, head over to Black Sheep!

Competition breeds improvements. The Cheeseburgers do look impressive upon delivery, but I think the problem with this place is that even though I've requested Mayo and Ketchup and also on occasion Mustard every time I've ordered from here, they simply don't put enough on...so the burgers end up dry ... there is simply not enough sauce to make up for the dry non juicy burger themselves. I've closely examine the burger, I just don't see any mayo or ketchup or mustard whatsoever. Perhaps part of the problem is that I'm always ordering delivery and can't request extra mayo and ketchup in person to help counteract the dryness of these Burgers. I do see the potential for them be decent someday and the strawberry and chocolate shakes are great. However for me I've ordered from here for the last time. I gave this place 3 chances over the last 6 months. I'll be ordering a Dave's Double Cheeseburger instead in the future.
