"This tastes so good that I feel guilty!" = actual words spoken by my husband after taking the first bite of his horseshoe sandwich. Everything we had here were so delicious that I woke up the next day still relishing the sweetness of the food coma and smacking my lips at the d'arcy pint dream I woke from. Fried green tomatoes. DELICIOUS. Brittany wedge salad. DELECTABLE. The deluxe ponyshoe. SCRUMPTIOUS. The supreme horseshoe. PERFECTION. I am actually glad I don't live near Springfield because if I did, I would probably end eating here every day five times a day and meeting an early demise from overconsumption of delicious foods. Seriously, the food here made me feel like that fat kid from Willy Wonka whose gluttony made him drown in a chocolate river...which is actually a life goal of mine, so this is a great thing. Anyways, I digress. The food here is great! read more

Not impressed with the food,the prices and most of all the service. Everyone talked about how great it is, you can all have it

Went to Darcy's on St. Paddy's Day 2024. Just for a snack and a beer. The Irish nachos were awesome. The Darcy's red ale was good, kind of tasted like it is made w a coffee stout. Definitely going back to actually dine here. Our server was good and it seemed like all the staff helped each other. read more

D'arcy's Pint - Irish Cheesesteak Horseshoe - Irish Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Corned beef is best in town! Great staff, clean place. Really nice Irish Pub vibes. Good meal. Don't see the bid deal over the horse shoe, but I'm not a fan of them anywhere; So grain of salt. Recommend for families just BUSY on weekends and nights...because they're that good read more

Big space with an Irish theme and famous for their "horseshoe." This is a dish that is basically Texas toast, topped with meat, fries, some other toppings, and cheese. I personally went with the Buffalo Chicken to give it a try. It was quite good, but definitely more calories than one should eat in probably an entire day! Very surprised at this Springfield staple, as the "horseshoe" seems to be a local dish. read more

Good fried green tomatoes!!!!! I haven't tried anything else here but everything around me looked and smelled amazing

I only ordered soup, salad and dessert but it was pretty good. The waitress had a pleasant attitude and showed great customer service.

Good food, service and fun, Spfld tradition. Nice special if the day. My favorites are green tomato and shrimp poor boys though I generally just order them separately, more for your money and avoid a big hoagie bun . Buffalo chicken horseshoe rocks too!! read more

Seems like a popular spot. Busy for a Wednesday at lunch which is a good sign. We had an open face turkey sandwich that my husband enjoyed but wasn't his fave. The Buffalo wings were a little sweet and I didn't care for them. I had the chili and a salad. Was disappointed in the ranch dressing. The chili was good but I feel like the salad could have been fresher. Wasn't too loud. Our waitress was great. Wasn't my fave place but I enjoyed it enough that I'd go back again. read more

I've been to a lot of Irish bars and this one just didn't fit the bill for me. We were in Springfield for a reunion and thought we'd give it a try. It is very popular. There was a wait in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. Wish there were more Irish food options. Maybe we didn't give it a fair shot. read more

The food is exceptional. The people are friendly. Ask for Jake, he is the best. Sheppard pie is outstanding, the Irish Horseshoe is fantastic, the angus burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend. read more

Went on Tuesday and had the Reuben and turkey noodle soup. Both were excellent. I sat at the bar and I think the bt name was Sam. He was great and made the visit even better. read more

Was recommended by a local, and I was not disappointed. This place is great from being greeted at the door to getting my check at the end. Was on my own so sat at the bar. I was amazed how each of the 4 bartenders interacted with each other and with me. I was told to get a horse shoe and that was amazing (side note, a pony shoe is plenty). Great service and a great environment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food is always amazing. Anything you order you are sure to enjoy! The service and all staff are pleasant and efficient.

GREAT FOOD & atmosphere ; ALWAYS pleasant ! I've heard & been told about how they treat some customers & their BLACK workers, behind the scenes ; HORRIBLE ! -But, thank God, I've NEVER experienced the bad service & I hope I NEVER do ! HOPEFULLY, they'll get it together, about how they do their BLACK workers, behind the scenes ! #HOPEFULLY read more

Great food and fun atmosphere. Food was prepared quickly and delicious. Beer was cold. Definely would eat there again.

I've been going to D'arcy's for several years now. There are a lot of other restaurants in the area that make horseshoes, but here is where the locals always suggests. The restaurant gets busy, VERY BUSY. Beware. We arrived 15 mjnutes after opening on a Sunday, and there was already an hour wait. We ended up getting a seat at the bar, but if you're thinking of going during standard meal time, prepare for a wait. I always order the chicken pony shoe, but this time I sprung for the buffalo chicken pony and it was incredible! They have a full service bar and a full menu for those not wanting a horseshoe. Highly recommend and I'm already waiting for my next visit. read more

I was driving by, saw the building and stopped. It is a great place for a beer and good conversation with extremely friendly locals.

I think this review warrants a 3.5 but that's not an option. The service was efficient. The ambiance was fine to good. The food aka pony shoe was just okay. The burger was completely overcooked. They claim to offer some gluten free options but three bartenders had different understanding on what items were gluten free. read more

Great job on the corned beef and cabbage D'arcy's Pint. Swell location and great service. read more

What a cute place. We took my stepmom here on a Friday afternoon because she was really wanting to try it. It was a great choice. Food was fantastic. Reuben sandwich, spinach salad and fish and chips- all were delicious. Portions were generous. Plus they had malt vinegar for fish! That's a must. Our waitress was the one factor keeping the his from 5 stars. She didn't seem to like any request. And I not talking weird asks either ie sugar should be common. She never told us the specials of the day. We overheard her tell another table when we were halfway through our meal. The unfortunate part was that my husband would have ordered the soft shell crab had he known about it. Oh well. I would definitely return here next time I am in town. read more

Best horseshoes in town. Been eating here for years and I absolutely LOVE it. If you're new to Springfield or just visiting, it wouldn't be a finished trip if you didn't eat here before you left. read more

Service was great. Ordered an appetizer, sauted mushrooms, with cheese, and crusty bread. No cheese but lots of mushrooms. Would not order again. Ordered pot roast dinner to go. Came packed and bagged. When got home missing mash potatoes, gravey, soup. Only had meat and microwaved frozen vegetables. Called and they will make it right. Big thing, check your order before u leave. read more

I've been going to Darcy's for years and it is always good. The staff are friendly. The food is great and the service is good.

This place is amazing , the food is great and the service is perfect. They have plenty of employees all smiling and friendly. We pulled up and saw it was packed, well I see why . We will definitely be back. Irish nachos and Taco salads were delicious. read more

Top notch Horseshoe. Fast friendly service and always clean. Love a frosty pint of Guinness to wash down the Shoe.

Always plenty on your plate and prices are not bad either! Highly recommend this place.

We visited on a Saturday, so we sat at the bar to avoid the 40 minute wait. The bartender was really friendly (even if she was a Cardinals fan serving two Cubbies, during a Cubs/Cards game). She was also pretty attentive for working a full bar. The reason we went to D'Arcy's is because I wanted to try a Horseshoe. I saw this on Food Network's Drive-ins, Diners & Dives, and thought it looked disgusting, I had to try one. I completely understand why this place is so popular. That horseshoe was so incredibly delicious, and they made it perfectly. I had the turkey horseshoe, and I like how they make it with deli turkey. That concoction of toast, turkey, fries and cheese was like a party in my mouth; I only wish I could find one in Chicago. If for no other reason, I will visit Springfield again for this tasty treat! read more

Food was good. Service was great! The manager even came out and discussed menu options since i am allergic to eggs. Friends got the horseshoe and loved it! Will definitely return! read more

The Shepherd Pie was delicious as was the Walleye fish and chips. Service was quick and friendly, and you can't beat the friendly service m.
