Whipped Feta Appetizer
John D.

This place. I can't visit Springfield and not eat here. The food is wonderful, creative combinations, great ingredients, and SPOT-ON preparation!! Also I feel this is very reasonably priced too! Delicious cocktails for $10. Most of the great menu items are well under $20. Kids menu is a little pricey at $10pee, but hard to complain too much. I had the BBQ pork belly tonight at it was CRAZY good. Super meaty, fatty pork belly so tender I didn't use the knife at all. Laying on a bed of sweet potato hash that was the perfect sweet compliment to the belly. My wife had the Blue Goat Burger. Which was substantial and delicious. Her side of choice was the sweet potato waffle fries, which came with a little sugary coating that I would've requested they hold, but that's just me. Great place, service is always friendly and attentive, food is wonderful, always a good experience.

Truffle Shuffle Straws
Kris P.

We came to Civil on our way to Branson. The ambience is excellent, super hipster. Waitress was kind and was quick. Food was mediocre. The menu looks phenomenal but the actual presentation was a disappointment. We started with the truffle fries. The flavors together were great but there was no adhesive, ie a sticky cheese to keep the toppings on the fries. We also ordered the feta dip which seemed frozen. It was not a dip it was a blob like frozen butter. I also tried the date n'apple salad. The dressing just did not pair well with the toppings. In my opinion, the dressing completely ruined the salad. I couldn't even eat it. We will not return.

Colossal Onion Rings
Vance P.

Traveling through Springfield, MO and found this gem. The service was amazing. They were so helpful in describing the menu and helping make selections. The food was really good. Everything seemed fresh and made from scratch. The Mac and cheese and fried kale were next level! The onion ring appetizer was the BEST onion ring I've ever eaten. The location is in the downtown square and has a really cool vibe. Highly recommend!

The Blue Goat Burger

We ended up in Springfield on a girls day out. We always try some place new to eat on our adventures. Civil Kitchen did not disappoint. We tried the seafood beignets, delicious. I had the blue goat burger and home made fries. Yummy!! Couldn't finish it all. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather and people watching. Great place to try. The service was a little slow, but our waitress was new so not a big deal. Prices were comparable for the quality and quantity in my opinion. Be adventurous and give them a try!

Solid place to eat, amazing customer service and atmosphere is nice and clean. I recommend the fish tacos, slaw on side and extra hot honey! If you like burgers, get a smash burger with avocado spread and bacon! Great food and good place to take a date.

See all

Dublin's Pass

If you're on the hunt for the best Scotch eggs around, this place is an absolute must. We…read moreunexpectedly went on a scotch egg tour this week. I will not drag the competition, but Dublin's Pass was the clear winner. I won't use specifics, but you get so much more bang for your buck, purely from a financial aspect. Let me first say, the eggs arrive on a plate with a light breading that adds the perfect balance of crunch yet balanced with the soft egg. All brought to you with a mustard that is the perfect combination of pickled veg and punchy mustard. The meat was cooked perfectly. The combination between the meat, egg and mustard marry one another beautifully to lend to a flavor roller coaster in your mouth. What really sets these Scotch eggs apart is the attention to detail. They taste like they are meant for a flavor rollercoaster. Each element feels intentional. Whether you're a longtime Scotch egg lover or trying one for the first time, this restaurant sets the bar high. Simply put: these are the Scotch eggs other places should be aspiring. Eggs aside, we also had an order of the boneless wings. Not a hard thing to get right, but we had roasted garlic parmesan with garlic aioli, to die for. I am from out of town, and this place is absolutely a must. It will never not be on to do list.

As soon as I walked into Dublin Irish Pass, I felt comfortable. The outside is modern, but the…read moreinside felt like a nice, cozy Irish pub perfect for watching sports (there are TVs everywhere) and, in my case, comfort food! 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.

LOUD AF on a Tuesday night with incredibly slow service…read more I like to eat in local places while we're on the road. Read about this place being historic with a beautiful bar and lovely tin ceiling. And that is all true. Walked in and could not believe how loud the single singer with an acoustic guitar was. There was a sound engineer, working a board, so he must've thought that level was OK. But you could not have a conversation at all. I was wishing for earplugs. When we first stepped in, I considered just looking at the carved mahogany bar and going somewhere else. But, we figured it should be fast and we could endure the cacophony for a short time. We were so wrong about it being fast. There was only one wait staff working that night, and she was also behind the bar. When she finally moseys over to us, she admitted she had forgotten all about us. She then took our drink order, and the drinks came quickly. But then she literally never came back to take a food order. Watched her go to all the other tables, watched her clean off the bar, watched her answer a phone call for a takeout order, and then I finally went up to the bar and asked her if we could put in a food order. Once the food was ordered it came out quickly. My husband's smashburger and candied pecan salad were both really delicious. I am a sucker for a local food item whenever I see it on the menu, and I made the mistake of ordering the cashew chicken poutine. The cashew sauce had zero flavor and was just overly salty. The chicken was fried very tough. At least the cheese curds were good. But I barely ate any of it. Nothing but regret about this choice.
