    Very impressed with this place. The appetizer was excellent, and the meal overall exceeded my expectations. The biggest surprise was the price--you get incredible quality for what you pay. The food was fresh and flavorful, the server was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It was absolutely packed at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon, which speaks for itself. And as a bonus, they even have high-quality napkins. It's the little things that make a difference. I'll definitely be back.

    Nice restaurant, good and fast service. Food was great! Very reasonable prices, good portions and delicious!

    Cold drinks!

    What a great place to eat! We are new to the area and were looking for a good place for seafood. Found FD's Grillhouse and boy, were we in luck! I had the fish & chips and they were amazing! My wife went with grilled shrimp, and she loved them (I also had to steal one). The restaurant was ultra chic, clean lines and lots of glass to bring in light. Very cool. Our waitress was excellent and attentive. And finally, the price was really reasonable. Great dining experience, and if I could rate it higher, I would!

    Updating my review of FD Grillhouse in Springfield. I have enjoyed this experience, service was great, food could use more seasoning, but the prices are more than reasonable. I'd definitely give it a third try after this experience.

    Awesome! More than I expected for less than I expected! Treat that special person in your life!

    The homemade key lime pie was better than we've had in the Keys! ‍

    We were traveling and looking for a non fast food place. It was delicious and so reasonably priced we ended up going twice during our stay!

    For what this place is, it's a good place, good value and an overall good experience. I always say...this place and Cheddars...you get an entree...which is easily at least $4 more anywhere else. And this place gives you an ample portion size. Food is overall always good. Are these the greatest stuffed and grilled shrimp I've ever had? Well no....but they also have a $15.95 price point and come with two sides. And....overall, the food has a very good taste....despite (not) being colossal sized shrimp.

    We used the waitlist and only waited about 5-10 minutes versus the 30-40 on a Saturday evening. The fried pickles are a must. Perfect flavoring, the coating was great. Ranch was nice compliment. I've had the ribs, the salmon, and the chicken fingers. The chicken fingers are great, cooked well and flavorful. Not too dry or greasy. The cole slaw is one of my fav sides. Not too much vinegar, great balance and consistency. The salmon is also good if looking for something healthier. The broccoli didn't have much flavor so definitely on the healthy side. Great meal. Great service. Recommend.

    Dijon and mushroom chicken with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The chicken was a little dry but sauce helped

    amazing steak dinner. We were here I. Springfield for a short getaway and found Jim's steak house…read more It was great service was great and food was amazin. Steak was cooked to protectio.

    I must say, with the utmost sincerity and considerable pleasure, that my recent visit to Jimms…read moreSteakhouse and Pub proved to be an exceedingly delightful affair from beginning to end. It is not every day that one has the good fortune to encounter a proper establishment in which the atmosphere, the company, and the meal all combine so agreeably, but Jimms most certainly provided such an occasion. Upon entering, I was immediately pleased by the character of the establishment. There is something wonderfully comforting about a steakhouse and pub that possesses a sense of occasion without becoming tiresome or pretentious. One may settle oneself comfortably, converse at leisure, and look forward to a proper meal with the agreeable certainty that one has made a very sound decision indeed. Now, to the principal matter at hand: the food. I had the distinct pleasure of ordering the prime rib, and I can say without the slightest hesitation that I thoroughly, wholeheartedly, and almost embarrassingly enjoyed it. It was an absolute triumph. The sort of dish that arrives at the table and immediately commands one's attention, rendering all conversation temporarily secondary. The prime rib was wonderfully prepared, exceedingly satisfying, and possessed that magnificent quality which makes one pause between bites simply to appreciate what one has been fortunate enough to receive. Every bite was an absolute pleasure. The meat was tender, beautifully cooked, rich in flavour, and possessed precisely the hearty savoury character one hopes to encounter when ordering a proper piece of beef. It was indulgent without becoming excessive, substantial without being tiresome, and sufficiently splendid that I found myself wishing the portion might somehow defy the ordinary laws of appetite. Had the laws of polite society permitted me to continue eating indefinitely, I suspect I should have made a valiant attempt. The other gentleman in our party selected the New York strip steak, and I am delighted to report that his experience was equally successful. He thoroughly enjoyed his steak and spoke very highly of it throughout the meal. From what I observed, it was an exceedingly handsome specimen of beef, prepared with considerable care and possessing precisely the robust character one expects from a fine New York strip. There is something particularly gratifying about dining with companions when everyone at the table receives precisely what they had hoped for. No disappointed faces, no regrettable selections, and no solemn contemplation of the menu wondering where it all went wrong. Rather, we found ourselves enjoying our respective steaks immensely and exchanging the occasional approving remark between bites, which, in my estimation, is a rather reliable indication that the kitchen has done its duty admirably. Indeed, the meal was sufficiently good that one rather loses track of time. The conversation continues, the plates gradually empty, and before one knows it, one is sitting there contemplating whether ordering another course would constitute gluttony or merely demonstrate excellent judgement. I shall leave that philosophical question to wiser men, but I will say that Jimms certainly inspired the temptation. The entire experience had the pleasant quality of an evening one might very much wish to prolong, preferably with another glass of something agreeable and perhaps another helping, should one's dignity permit such extravagance. There are establishments where one eats because one is hungry, and there are establishments where one eats because the food itself becomes part of the evening. Jimms belongs firmly in the latter category. I should also commend the overall atmosphere. Jimms Steakhouse and Pub has that wonderfully comfortable quality which makes a meal feel like an occasion rather than merely an exercise in acquiring nourishment. It is the sort of place where one can settle in, enjoy one's company, take one's time over a proper meal, and allow the evening to unfold without feeling hurried. That quality is increasingly rare and, in my opinion, deserves considerable appreciation. Our meal was hearty, satisfying, memorable, and thoroughly enjoyable. The prime rib alone would have been sufficient reason for me to leave a favourable review, but the excellent New York strip enjoyed by my companion, coupled with the pleasant surroundings and the general success of the evening, made the occasion all the more worthwhile. I departed feeling exceedingly content, which is surely one of the highest compliments a restaurant can receive. There is a particular satisfaction in leaving a dining establishment with the firm conviction that the money spent, the time taken, and the appetite expended have all been put to excellent use. Such was precisely the case here. Would I return? Without question. Would I recommend Jimms? Most certainly.

This most recent visit was a rather disappointing 2 star review instead of prior solid 5 star reviews standard of locations on the West Coast. I am wondering if it is just a MidWest thing but there should be consistency across the board. The first notice was the cheddar bat biscuits were a different consistency and not a speck of cheddar. They were tasteless and really seemed to resemble a flavorless Bisquick biscuit. I asked for a fresh basket and the next batch was the same flavorless biscuit taste, even dunking them in my shrimp scampi juice did not save them. I ordered the classic seaside shrimp trio which is shrimp scampi, shrimp linguini and waltz traditional fried shrimp. There was very little shrimp in the pasta, a lot less than portion of pasta as before as well. The prices have increased by 40% but the quantity and quality has decreased by the same. I had a rude awakening as now RL is charging for a side dinner salad that used to be complimentary with meal. The only thing that was really good was the Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, they were tasty with the dipping sauce so very fortunate for that. We won't be back to RL for many reasons. I did provide some low-key quiet feedback of our meal experience on the way out but the Manager didn't respond as if he cared as he stated "I have been a manager for 5 years now and nothing has changed".

However, this time the service and the food quality stood out tremendously! Our host greeted us very promptly and brought us to our beautiful table that was adorned with a candelabra with at least five real candles a lit. We were immediately offered some complementary house champagne, which was nice. The menu was extensive on offering very fine foods. However, my wife pointed out for somebody who's a little bit pickier of an eater noticed there was no pasta offerings and only one chicken entrée which was not a problem and ended up being fantastic but a couple more options for picky eaters of non-steak varieties and fish varieties might not hurt. I always frequent this restaurant for the freshest oysters offered probably in the whole state of Missouri, and they never disappoint. Last night they had at least five varieties, including Blue points, petites, birthday girl, and other varieties from both the West Coast and the East Coast. I ordered two of everything and it was very fun to experiment with the differences of the oysters from both coasts, and I ended up becoming a big fan of east Coast Bluepoint oysters. However, they were all extremely fantastic and very fresh. The oyster shucker was extremely talented and preserved the liquid within the shells perfectly. I was unable to find one shelf fragment in any of my oysters, which is unbelievable. As my main course, I ordered nothing but appetizers because they all look fantastic. I ordered the steak tartare and the escargot and both were unbelievably good. The rest of my five table mates ordered their meals, ranging from fish to filet mignon, and they all raved about their food and finished their complete plates. I remember the food quality being good at this location in years past, but this time it really stood out and we now regard this as the best restaurant in Springfield, hands-down. The server Lily was extremely attentive and often had other servers assist with plate arrivals and clearing of the table very promptly. Lillie was probably one of the best servers. I've had a very long time. Don't skip out on dessert as the chocolate torte and the crème brûlée s'mores were both very fantastic offerings. I later met with the manager, Justin to complement his exceptional staff and food quality and let him know that we will be returning very very soon and more frequently in the future. Char Steakhouse by far exceeded my past expectations and is my pick for the best restaurant in Springfield. You won't be disappointed if you try it.
