Stayed in Branson, but went to Springfield for a graduation. The graduate recommended FD's. This is the only restaurant that I would drive from Branson to Springfield to eat. Gracey and Bruce were our servers. Both were great. Gracey immediately removed trash ( which is a rarity now days). The service reminded me of a cruise vacation from several decades ago. My wife and I shared the trio ( salmon, shrimp and chicken tenders) plus baked potato, steamed broccoli and a salad. Our bill was a bit over $20 plus tip. The only thing I wish we would have changed is we would double up the shrimp instead of the chicken. 3 at our table raved at the sirloin. My father in law said his baby back rips were wonderful. Everyone raved at the food and the service. My only warning is get there early--- don't expect to walk to table at noon. We got there when it opened at 11am and they accommodated our group of 8 immediately. My brother in law drove back for a return trip a couple days later ( I had to go home). My opinion is since Covid most places don't do good service anymore. FD's does. read more

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! read more

I've been to FD's Grillhouse 10+ times, both dining in and to-go, and it's one of the most consistently well-run restaurants in Springfield. The food is always good, the menu is well put together, and everything comes out prepared the way it should. You can tell there's a strong operation behind the scenes -- it feels clean, organized, and reliable every time. Service has always been solid, and overall it's just a place I don't hesitate to recommend or return to. The only drawback, and it's not a dealbreaker, is the dining room acoustics. It's a beautiful space, but when it fills up, the noise really carries and can get pretty loud. That said, it's still a go-to for me and somewhere I'd happily eat anytime. read more

FD's is by far our favorite restaurant in Springfield! It seems to be always busy and there's a good reason for that... Incredible food, great prices, outstanding staff! You can't go wrong at FD's Grill House! read more

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. read more

FD's Grillhouse - Trio with Cod, grilled shrimp, and salmon - American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Great food, service, and reasonable prices. We were celebrating an anniversary of some family members. Enjoyed the food and experience!

Always excellent food and they have incredible key lime pie. Good service, always busy so plan accordingly.

We always come back. It has become our go to restaurant for good food at a reasonable price. Conveniently located near SMG. We like to dine in the bar area. We always get the firecracker shrimp and usually the salmon quinoa salad. We have tried almost everything but these two are favorites. Last trip we stopped in for a fast lunch and each got the firecracker shrimp as an entree. Consistency like this is hard to find these days. read more

Food was good, service was amazing and good prices. Stopped by on the way home on a trip and pleasantly surprised

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. read more

Great food, everything was good! Wait was a little long but worth it. Reasonable prices!

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. read more

We have been here three times now and every time is as good if not better than the time before! I have been meaning to do a review since our first visit. This place is a 10/5. Yes, I think it is that good. Highest I have ever rated a restaurant. We have not had anything that was not excellent. This place is always busy with good reason, but their computer "waitlist," helps cut the time you wait. It is a bit loud as it is an open restaurant so I would not go if looking for a quiet meal. However, if you are looking for great food at a reasonable price with great service, I cannot recommend anywhere more than FD's Grillhouse! We have had the fish, steaks, chicken, salads, every appetizer they offer, and it has all been wonderful. Not to mention the wonderful key lime pie! I feel bad I cannot remember the first waiter that served us our first time. He was great and set the bar which Bailey and Allie every bit lived up to. They were all very personable, attentive and accommodating. I did not speak with Julian but was told he was the manager. I then watched him and saw leadership by example. I have no idea what kind of manager he is, but he was all over the place, seating people, bringing out food, and zipping here and there performing all kinds of tasks. Everyone there seems engaged and intent on providing the best experience for their customers. I am so sorry, that I did not ask the lady's name that buses tables (in an effort to acknowledge her, I am going to describe her as perhaps Hispanic and on the shorter side), but every time we are there, she is working non-stop. She works calmly but quickly. Everyone makes the process look like a well-oiled machine from seating to serving to cleanup. Every time the food has come out quickly, hot, and delicious. Great restaurant. We will be back. read more

Wonderful 1st visit to celebrate 35th Wedding Anniversary. Used the waitlist option on Yelp and only waited a few minutes after arriving ahead of others waiting for a table. Started with the fried pickle appetizer and it was delicious. Glass of moscato enjoyed the fruity flavor. Both of us had the cedar plank salmon- which was fantastic. Comparable to any salmon dish I had living in Seattle. Great waitress who though busy did not neglect checking in. The restaurant was full and a bit noisy, but food and prices totally made up for it. Bonus for me was decent coffee for a coffee snob. :) read more

Excellent food, great prices! My favorite is the Dijon chicken and mushrooms. So good! It's very hard to get a table, but get on a waitlist online and it's very helpful! read more

Best food, great service, casual dining at its finest! Kudos to Blake Steele and crew for a job well done!

The food was amazing and the employees were nice! The restaurant was clean. Get there early they fill up fast!

Katrina did an amazing job! She was very attentive even tho the restaurant was busy. We didn't have to ask for refills. She is the best waitress we have had at FD's. read more

This place was amazing!! My fiancé and I stopped here on our way back home from our getaway weekend and it was extremely busy, but we got attended almost right away and received our food almost right away as well. As an appetizer I had the Crispy Pickles, which are lightly fried pickles served with house buttermilk and the Triple Dip, which included black bean dip, homemade queso blanco and fresh salsa with warm tortilla chips. If I could have just the crispy pickles as my main dish I most definitely would!! For the main dish I had their FD's Trio, you can pick any 3 main dishes out of 6! I had the Chicken Tenders, Grilled Shrimp, and the Fresh North Atlantic Salmon. When the plates arrived, it looked very presentable, but it didn't look like it was enough to get me filled up... I... was wrong. I had about three bites in and I was full!!! I was disappointed in myself because the food was so amazing!! And we weren't even close to being back home, but the food so was soo good we took it to go. If you ever find yourself in Springfield, MO and are looking for a restaurant with good lighting, decent prizes, and the most amazing food, I 100% recommend FD's Grillhouse!!! read more

Love FD's always an incredible time and worth stop by while traveling. It trumps other steakhouses in comparison.

I selected this restaurant from an online search as we do not live in Springfield. The menu and the environment looked really nice. Wow - apparently everyone in Springfield feels the same way! The line was out the door! Good thing we used Yelp to get on the waiting list. Service was quick and friendly. Their house salad was unlike anything - delicious glazed walnuts, and green apple slices and sweet cornbread croutons were a fun surprise. My husband got the combo of battered chicken, cod, and grilled salmon with fries. All absolutely delicious. The batter was unique - light, crispy, and has somewhat of a cornmeal texture. I got the fish tacos. Came out as a fish burrito - not exactly what I expected, but still nice. The Keylime pie is a must try. It was the most tart Keylime pie we had ever had. When we travel back through Springfield, we will return. read more

We were visiting from out of town and found this place on Yelp. FD's was so nice and well appointed. It felt like it should have been way more expensive. We went as a family with our 1 year old grandson. Service was so attentive and friendly. The food was so delicious, with a good variety and great prices. I haven't been to a restaurant this good in a long time - highly recommend! read more

Love this place! Excellent food, service, atmosphere, selection and prices! Love the fish tacos!

The food here is always soooooo good! And the best part is that the prices are so darn reasonable. This place is always busy so pack your patience but it is worth the wait. I love their trio plate. The salmon, cod and stuffed shrimp are my norms and they are da BOMB! One small problem is that they have so few desserts but for me, that is really a positive since it keeps me from eating any sweets lol. There are tons of tables and the place is really nice inside so this is a great place to bring family and friends. Great value, great food = GREAT TIMES!! read more

FD's Grillhouse was our second choice after another restaurant had an excessive wait, and it turned out to be a great decision. The food quality and atmosphere were both excellent. I ordered the ribs and grilled shrimp with fries and had zero complaints. The ribs were tender and fell off the bone, the shrimp was grilled and seasoned perfectly, and the fries were crispy and flavorful. Everything was prepared well and served hot. I would definitely return and would recommend FD's Grillhouse without hesitation. read more

Service and food is always amazing here. We prob eat here once every week or two, and I usually order the same thing. The salmon with their bourbon sauce is my other favorite. I've had the fish and chips, grilled shrimp, Hawaiian chicken and various salads, and all are always amazing. Service is top notch also. read more

We love this place! We had been here passing through a few years ago and looked forward to checking it out again - we were not disappointed! They took us 3 as walk ins although they seemed kind of busy. Our waitress was great and quick - maybe too quick - you might have to slow them down if you want to dine rather than inhale, as they are fast. Prices are phenomenally reasonable. Check out the photo of the $9 martini. The fried pickles are worth your attention alone! read more

In from out of town, ran across this restaurant on my Yelp app, looked good hit the join wait list, arrived seated almost immediately-mind you they were very busy. Hostess seated exceptionally pleasant, was knowledgeable and answered questions about popular items on the menu. Waitress was super friendly, answered more questions about recommendations, exceptionally attentive. Chose the shrimp appetizer, and the spinach artichoke appetizer - both 10 out of 10. Finished with the steak burger, it too was a 10 out of 10. And if that doesn't impress you the prices were the best value I have had in a very long time. This place is a must try. You'll not be disappointed!!! read more

Excellent food and service and can't beat the prices! Highly recommend. Is very busy can except to wait for table.
