    Cute place with many options for lunch. I had the burger and sweet potato fries. Both were good, but the fries were a hit at the table.

    The Local Burger (add avocado)

    We stopped in before going ice skating! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and asked if we were dining in. We got seated right away and our server was fantastic--really nice, efficient and observant! We ordered some sandwiches and the daily special Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The building is modern and open--well lit and has soft music playing. We started with the baked bleu cheese dip. The dip was great--didn't have an overwhelming bleu cheese taste so my daughter who hates bleu cheese actually enjoyed it too--she just avoided the bleu cheese curds. Their homemade chips (which also come with each sandwich) were nice--they come with I think Parmesan sprinkled on them but I would throw some salt on them too. The chicken salad sandwich and the Springfield bacon sandwich were OK at best. We had avocado added to both but the bread as you can see was VERY bland. Definitely could use some butter, grilling or toasting at least. The local burger was very good, cooked perfectly per request and juicy! The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was also just OK. The sauce was not great nor was it hot at all. Unfortunately the sandwich was bland too. Our server also noticed the chips on that plate seemed to come from the bottom of the "bucket" so she brought us fresh chips which was great. I would eat here again so I can try more items but 50% of our food wasn't really worth it. There were several items on the menu that looked interesting enough to return and try though.

    Brisket grilled cheese, chips, sweet potato fries

    Had dinner at Charlo's with my boyfriend on a Thursday night. We both had brisket grilled cheeses with house potato chips with lots of parmesean, and sweet potato fries! Very yummy! Sweet potato fries were perfect! Service was friendly. Will definitely be back.

    Simply delicious and amazing. Great food and service!

    Simply amazing and delicious. Food and service were excellent. Stopped in on a Monday night staying downtown and not a lot of options to choose from.

    Strip steak and fried chicken entrees

    Was looking for a different place to try for dinner on a Monday...we had been to Charlos for lunch a few months ago and decided why not especially with half price wine on Monday ‍‍....we had the strip steak with Au gratin potatoes and it was delicious! Fried green tomato appetizer was very nice as well! Extra crispy panko green tomato with pimento cheese!...the fried chicken was also excellent especially the peppercorn gravy !!

    I don't know what it is but Charlos has it. The food was great! I've been coming to Springfield for 20 years and this is the best food I've ever had here (even beating out the family cooking). There's no draft beer but I'm finding out that Ohio is not lacking for quality beer and Charlos has beers from several local(ish) breweries. The kitchen has their stuff together, man. The presentation and flavors were top notch. The plating was basic but matched the decor of the interior. I tried a little bit of everything and nothing was a miss. I know I'll be running clean up on whatever my kids order so I just got the Nashville chicken tenders as a main plate and I quite enjoyed them. I appreciate that my server indicated that some people think that they're hot and get the sauce on the side but I'm a big boy and I can handle the sauce directly on the tenders. Everything tasted great! I'm here for ya, Springfield. If you build it, I'll spend my money when I visit.

    Chicken salad sandwich!

    Meadows Restaurant - Pork tenderloin sandwich

    Meadows Restaurant

    (77 reviews)

    $$

    SEVEN WORDS: GREAT HOMETWON TASTE / COMFORT FOOD / GOOD PORTIONS…read more . Meadows Restaurant is a Destination Trip, so if you're not inspired, you may miss out - on a VERY Good Meal. Located Right on Route 40, its truly inconvenient if you're coming from the Wrong Direction. However, its really worth it to drive past it, make a U-Turn on a Busy Highway, and then turn into the uphill drive to the private parking lot. . Meadows is VERY CONVENIENT to the Nearby Antique Mall, though, so this is a GREAT DAY TRIP for anyone making the Journey. All that being said, let's talk Food! . I was feeling a little heavy from breakfast, so I opted for the Grilled Chicken Salad. My wife, ever the Pork lover, ordered the Pork Chops with 2 Sides. Our food arrived quickly - around 10 minutes - and we were pleasantly surprised with two large dishes. . My Dish, a Grilled Chicken Salad, came in a Large Chilled Salad Bowl. To be honest, not a lot of Restaurants understand the importance and sheer luxury of chilled China ware when it comes to cool dishes like salad. . The Lettuce was chopped Iceberg. Every bite was fresh and there were no clumps of lettuce that hadn't been fully separat3d before prep. The tomatoes, were hearty Roma, and the cheese was a grated Mozzarella.Four marinated and crisp grilled to near perfection. Juicy and Crisp, these Chicken Spears were a perfect. So yummy and just barely sweetened by the vinegarette marinade. I only ate half. However, gobbled up the rest as we got home. 2 meals for me. . My Wife's Grilled zporknCops came with two sides. She chose Apple Sauce and Green Beans. The Pork Chops were also well-cooked: Crispy outside, tender within. She cleaned her plate and did the same with her beans and apple sauce. Mund you, she hadn't eaten all day, so even if she eats like a 5-foot-tall farm girl, there was enough to fill most anyone. On top of that, she left appy, so there's that. . Why a 4? Location, location, Location. If you're nearby: YOU GOTTA GO. If you're not, i can't see it being a Destination you'd seek out over a place 10 miles closer to home. Sorry to the Owners, its just a small bit of bad luck.

The two bartenders thanked us for coming in and one of the employees who was arriving at work waited on us to cross the parking lot to hold the door for us and was very friendly. I never got rude vibes as others are suggesting and the service was at a good pace and done well. We have 4 prime rib dinners and they were all tempered right and everything we asked for we got. The onion rings were great the prime rib was awesome the patty melt was very good and we are already planning another trip to try more of the menu.

    What a wonderful evening. Our party of eight celebrated a birthday at Cecil and Lime, and…read moreeverything--from service to atmosphere--was excellent. Most impressive was how perfectly executed every dish was--the filet perfectly medium-rare, the salmon and lamb were flawless and cooked true medium and tender, the lasagna excellent, the potatoes au gratin beautifully caramelized, and the asparagus crisp-tender with a perfect char. Truly outstanding execution across the board. The restaurant matches any fine-dining spot in Dayton-Springfield but with a lively instead of stuffy atmosphere. A singer-pianist duo played jazz standards, adding a nice touch. Pricing was also very fair for the quality: most entrées were in the high $20s to $30s (the filet higher), while comparable places would be $10-$20 more for similar meals. For anyone in the Dayton-Springfield area, this is absolutely a destination. Enjoy!

    We had a fabulous b-day dinner at Cecil and Lime out on the outside porch…read more We started with the bruschetta, the tomatoes topping is sweet and peppery, delicious. Then we got salads: I got a wedge salad and Richelle got the Cecil house salad. Wonderful salads plenty of dressing. Then for dinner go big for a b-day: We got the tomahawk ribeye, from Woodruff farms, cooked perfectly medium rare by the staff. This was our first tomahawk ribeye, it's impressive and enough for two with leftovers. Blue cheese dip for the ribeye, yes; cold or hot, that's the question! Richelle got the Mac-n-cheese for a side, a good choice. For desert we had the tuxedo cake with ice cream and berry sauce. The staff put a candle in the cake and sang happy birthday to Richelle. This is a locally owned very nice GOURMET dinner restaurant, with fantastic staff and relaxed atmosphere. Service is top notch, waitstaff is friendly and informative. The waitstaff answered all our questions and made suggestions to make dinner out special. They bring your check in a book, so you can sign the guest book. This is their 21st year in business. We even got to chat with the owners who stopped in for dinner, and sat outside next to us.
