Nice place. I found it while on the road. Excellent fast service, good food and beer. What more is there to ask for?

It was our first time there. They seated us in front of a glass door with no way to cover the glass. I felt like an ant under the magnifying glass since the sun was beaming on the back of my neck. My husband's pony shoe had more fries on it than my horseshoe. If you pay $40 for 2 meals you shouldn't leave hungry. read more

A classic Springfield haunt...of course one has to try the horse shoe...don't leave Springfield without trying it !

Researched places to eat in Springfield and of course, D'arcy's popped up in every search and for good reason. I went there for one purpose...to try a horseshoe. The server was really, super helpful; she made an out-of-towner feel very at home! I am a little uncomfortable thinking I have the audacity to review an incredible place! I am very territorial about the food in my town and cringe when people criticize what is a staple in my part of the world. HOWEVER, truly there's nothing to criticize here anyway! I had the horseshoe with the tender, juicy pot roast and creamy delicious cheese sauce and of course crinkle fries made it 1000% addictive! When you see the dish and think "oh there's no way I can eat the whole thing"... Good luck putting your fork down you won't be able to stop! read more

Everything is perfect here! Food is above excellent. Servers and Bartenders are excellent

Took grandsons for a Friday lunch. Kids had the best grilled cheese, corn dogs, and fries. Hubby got a horseshoe- and it was great. I got the strawberry salad which was so so. It needed candied pecans and fresher greens. Had to pay extra for the feta and chicken. So the standard "strawberry salad" had greens and strawberries with a tiny few veggies. That's it for like $15-17. Not too impressive. But the boys' food was great. We didn't get drinks but the bar looked extensive. read more

Came to Springfield on vacation and as always, depended yelp to help us find local gems. D'arcy's Pint did not let us down. The service was great, food was delicious, atmosphere was inviting and dim, which I prefer. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here many times but not usually for lunch. The restaurant was crowded, always a good sign, but I didn't have to wait long. I sat at the bar and was greeted immediately by staff and engaged by fellow diners offering recommendations. Such a great atmosphere. They always have choices for their soups, as well as the chili which is a mainstay. I opted for a classic Reuben sandwich today. I sat down at 12:10 and had my food and beverage by 12:23. If I had to be back to work by 1, I would have had plenty of time. Highly recommended for convenience, food and atmosphere. read more

This establishment is a must if you're visiting Springfield! I visit once or twice a year and Darcy's pint is my go to place for my craving! I've never strayed. I get the tenderloin pony and it's amazing! Until next year! See you then! read more

This is a great spot. Glad I found them. Nice Irish pub layout. My server Jenny was a total rockstar. Super personable and made a great recommendation with the menu. I went with her suggestion and got the Buffalo chicken horseshoe...I liked it so much I'm trying to figure out how to get back to Springfield. It was awesome. Holy smokes...a day later and I want another one. After I ate Jenny was patient enough to let me camp out for a few so I could get some work done. This one is going in regular rotation for sure. read more

Springfield! Gotta try a horseshoe! Its tradition. To food tastes great. A horseshoe is typically a hamburger on toast covered with french fries topped with Irish melted cheese. Service is great. Remember its always busy here on nights and weekends..... Inside pretty cool Irish Pub/ Central Illinois vibes.. Prolly the 10th time we've been here over the years. read more

Best horseshoes on earth! Really, best ever, and I've never had any problems with service either.

Great place for a quick bowl of chili with some crackers and just sit at the bar with an ice water. Very Good lunch(es) abound :-).

A must anytime we're back in Springfield. We love going there and have never had a bad experience. There's a reason it's almost always busy.

Nice clean place with super low prices and great service. The food was basically worth the super low price, at best. This is supposedly an Irish pub but the corned beef and cabbage was an embarrassment to Irishmen. It was deli corned beef heated up on a flat grill (like for a Reuben), bland mashed potatoes and a ton of boiled cabbage. But none were cooked together or had any of the traditional Irish flavor. Prob a great place for pub food but don't order any traditional Irish food and expect to get something Irish. read more

They are the true home of the horseshoe I have had horseshoes everywhere any place that has it nobody even comes close to D'arcy's pint

We always order the horseshoes that are delightful. The service is great so make sure you tip your servers. Always a great time at Darcy's Pint. read more

Great food and service. Bloody Mary was delicious, bartender did a great job. Next time we're in Springfield, we'll be back.

It's a big debate who has the best horseshoe-- and it's just simply D'arcy's! My fave is the Buffalo Chicken. I like to pair it with their unique sweet ranch they have! The way they fry their chicken breast and the consistency of their cheese sauce is just a notch above the rest, I swear! read more

Great service with a smile . Best food around . Servings are large and hot !! Love Julio and his staff read more

For sure a local must! The place was packed but we were able to find two seats at the bar. The margarita's on ice aren't awful! (Many place have terrible mix). We ordered the supreme horseshoes and they are for sure tasty and a local staple. The staff is kind and attentive. The bookmaker sandwich is tender, the au jus is perfect, not overly salty. Will for sure be back to this Irish pub! read more

Excellent service, excellent food, good variety. If I had a negative it's very loud in there. Hard to have conversation over others going on around you. It would be nice if there was something to absorb the noise of others having to yell to be heard. read more

Seated immediately, service was quick. Orders were accurate and very tasty. Waitress was friendly and polite. Lots of Irish decor and menu options. Definitely go back again. read more

Great service behind the bar. Caring staff through. I had the shepherds pie it was very good. Too too much food.

Great food, craft beer and service. Reasonable prices too. Something for everyone. We had a great time. read more

D'ARCY's Pint is one of my favorite restaurants in Springfield IL. They have a great selection of pub food and craft beer. Their horseshoes are excellent and probably the best out of Springfield IL. I came back to Springfield IL to take care of some personal business, and met some old friends here for dinner. The craft beer I ordered was great, and the Supreme horseshoe was excellent! Our server was a spunky, fun little lady who gave us excellent customer service and took very good care of us! With Covid-19 guidelines in place, they had insulated plastic igloos on the patio for parties of two, which I had never seen before, but found it to be very interesting and creative for utilizing the covid-19 guidelines into place. I miss this restaurant very much, and hope to be able to make another visit to D'ARCY's Pint in the near future! read more

real good food lots of options, decent horseshoe, but it's always too crowded inside.

Very nice Irish pub, the wait staff and owner were great after there was a miscommunication on the time that they stop taking customers. The hostess said they stopped taking customers at 8 but they close at 9:00?? Kind of weird but after explaining that we chose their restaurant over others and that the clock just ticked 8:00 the owner seated us and it was great! We got the shoes, which was new and exciting. We are from Nc so we had never had them! read more

My favorite Irish pub in town. I love the corned beef and cabbage. My daughter loves their horseshoes. It's all good beautiful bar great scene. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite while traveling to Southbend. Got the pony shoe with hamburger. The best shoe I have ever had. Cheese sauce was delicious. This will be my new stop anytime passing through Springfield. I will tell all my friends to make sure this is your one stop if passing by. read more

The horseshoes are wonderful but they refuse to make alterations to their salads for those who have nut allergies, even if you ask a day ahead of time. Really? How hard is it make the salads without and then add before serving? Or have a few made without for those of us trying to eat a lighter meal? Won't be eating there today. read more

You have to try their horse shoe sandwiches, drenched in their liquid gold, i.e., cheese sauce! Their regular size is HUUUUUge and the pony size (half size) was just right for me. Totally recommending the place and will be back again! Their cheese bites are the bomb, too! read more

Sat at the bar and bar keeps were friendly and efficient. It was the first time we had ever had a "horseshoe", so I must say it was the best horseshoe I've ever had! Actually, we had a pony, but it was the best pony we've ever had read more

This place does NOT disappoint! Their cheese sauce for their ponyshoes/horseshoes is phenomenal! And, they have - hands down - the BEST cauliflower crust pizza in Springfield! Try the Boom Boom Shrimp for an appetizer - tasty with just the right kick. Friendly servers, upbeat atmosphere, and an all-around fun place with indoor and outdoor seating available. Will be back! read more

I'll make it simple. D'arcy's is a MUST VISIT when in Springfield. Their horseshoes are the best in town. If you do not know what a horseshoe is you are missing out. Simply put, a horseshoe is an open faced sandwich on texas toast, covered in Fries and Cheese sauce. But it is SOOOO much more. Eating one is an out of body experience. Hamburger horseshoes are generally the standard a good place to start, but my personal favorite is the buffalo chicken horseshoe. I literally rerouted my route home on my vacation and took and extra day coming home so I could get one on my vacation, and I would gladly do the same again! read more

Awesome place! Horseshoes are to die for with a cold pint of Guinness draft, can't beat it! Outstanding wait staff, always accommodating, cheerful and helpful. Sometimes a little wait but always worth it! read more

They are known for their horseshoes and their menu of horseshoes has even grown since I was here last. They have also very traditional Irish fair. Full bar. Don't be surprised if there is a wait at the door. There usually is. For a good reason. Our wait was 25 mins but got in I about 20 for a 4 top. The dining room is split but can be kinda noisy. They have TVs going usually with a game of sorts on. They have outdoor seating in the summer. read more
