Very good place to eat. Prices are reasonable and service is very good as well. Atmosphere is also a plus. Slightly generic is some senses, but all in all a well above average place to sit and enjoy a meal. read more

Terrific hospitality and good food. Group had ribs, fish tacos and salmon; all delicious. Good spot.

Not bad. Chicken and ribs were a bit dry. Service was good. Crab dip was strange. Overall fresh decent food at a reasonable price. read more

FD's Grillhouse - American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Absolutely amazing! I am very picky when it comes to nice restaurants. I have certain expectations. F.D.'s exceeded those expectations above and beyond! My Mother and Grandmother were in town and wanted something nice and memorable. We were not disappointed at all. We all four got something different and were absolutely thrilled with the food we got. The chicken was so tender and tasty. The ribs were phenomenal!! We had 4 entrée's and an appetizer for $47!!! The venue is beautiful. Has a high end modern feel. Everything was clean and neat. The waitress, Tiffany, was so friendly and she gave us detailed descriptions of the food and was very well mannered. Food was brought out in a decent time. I will forever remember this place and will probably be back a hundred times. You MUST visit this place!!! read more

Every time we dine here, the service is exceptional, the food is hot, fresh and generous. A little bit of a wait during busy hours but oh so worth the wait. Haven't found another restaurant in Springfield that is a great family atmosphere at a very reasonable price. 5 Stars only begins to rate FD's, more like 10 Stars!!! read more

FD's Grillhouse - American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Very pleasing, very inviting atmosphere to this place. For being a steakhouse, FD's had a very upscale attitude with its modern architecture and tastefully dim lighting. The food was favorably up to par to the restaurant's appearance; my steak was smokily prepared and the sides were tasty as well. Despite being packed that evening the service was polite and ample; never too far away yet always approachable and eager to help. As a guest to a friend's birthday, I was fortunately treated to a free meal but I would eagerly pay full-price for another experience at FD's Grillhouse. read more

The side salad they make with cornbread croutons is very good, as well as their key lime pie. As a plate, the Hawaiian chicken with a side of sweet potato casserole was top notch. Friendly staff and clean, comfortable atmosphere. read more

This restaurant is awesome!! You'd think you might end up with an extravagant bill but the prices are so easy on your pocket plus if you're a light eater like moi, you can share your meal with a buddy which cuts your bill in half! Food portions are large enough to take home for a mid night snack or lunch the next day!! Fast service and comfortable eating environment. Definitely busy at dinner time and holidays. read more

We have been here a couple of times and the food is always delicious. The prices are great and the restaurant has great decor and is very comfortable. Very good place to go if you want seafood. read more

Will I go back? Absolutely! We went on a Thursday night and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table for two. On the recommendation of a friend we tried the Firehouse Shrimp for an appetizer. This is shrimp covered in a sauce that is similar to a spicy southwest ranch sauce and was outstanding. We normally don't order appetizers but we will definitely get this again. We ordered the FD Burger and the Alaskan Fish and Chips and would order these dishes again. The burger has the Firehouse sauce on it that when combined with the cheese almost melts in your mouth. The Alaskan Fish was a battered white flaky fish that had a nice mild flavor that could be enhanced by the tartar sauce provided if desired. I enjoyed it both ways. The fries that were served came out hot and fresh and had a good flavor without being under or overcooked. The fish and chips was also served with cole slaw. Unfortunately, this was pre-made generic out of a tub cole slaw that can be found at several restaurants and grocery stores. The portions were great and the prices were very reasonable making this a great value. The service was up and down. While our waitress was cordial my water glass sat empty for quite some time and she promised to fill it up multiple times without following through. This was the only damper on what was an otherwise enjoyable experience. read more

Staff was awesome! The food not so awesome. Cold, undercooked, and a bite of rice doesn't qualify as a bed of rice.

Food was good, but what really sets this place ahead of the rest is the prices. Very very competitive prices. Most entrees were under $12. Steak was good and my wife had the lemon chicken and she really liked it, I also had the fried shrimp although it was decent I could tell it had been frozen for some time. Wait staff was good, although they did try and deliver us a couple other people's food. It is very, very loud but I would say the open floor plan largely contributed to that. Overall good experience, I would recommend, I will most likely come back. read more

Food is tasteless. One of those restaurants where no matter what you get it tastes the same. We've tried to eat here three or four times and I always leave sick. Today there were flies everywhere and the lady bringing out food had long hair that was literally laying across a plate on our tray of food. My kids hate when I make a scene so I didn't say anything at the time, but I wish I would have. I also have issue that whatever I've ordered always has ingredients not listed on the menu. Last time it was a salad that was not presented as described. This time it was grilled shrimp with a weird sauce on it. Never again will I eat here. read more

I got the chicken strips and shrimp, the chicken strips were phenom but it took about 10 minutes before we even got asked about drinks. Prices were reasonable but for me personally, the atmosphere was a little too straight laced for a bar and grille. read more

There was nothing I didn't like here! They were packed, but brought our food quickly. We had their chip/dip appetizer; all the restaurants in town need to use these chips! Light, crisp, fresh - delish! The limousine margarita was awesome. Hawaiian chicken was the best in town. And...drum roll... The best cole slaw in town as well! Best of all - the prices are great. Enjoyed visiting with Barry the bartender - we will be back! read more

It would be nice if their phones actually worked. Don't try to make a reservation because their lines don't actuary work. I called them while in the restaurant after confirming and it never rang. This is not a reflection on their food. read more

Excellent food, service and prices!! Have been there twice now after stumbling on to them and now one of our favorite places for date night :) read more

Amazing food at a good price! The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was extremely clean. We ordered steak, ribs and chicken and it was all delicious. The mashes potatoes were perfect and the hush puppies were great. We will definitely go here again and again. read more

Food was very good. The server was excellent. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait this turned into over an hour. We had friends that arrived after we had waited 40 minutes they were called to a table first. When we ask the hostess about this her comment back was, " I guess they're just going to go ahead of you." She was very rude and belittling. After waiting another 10 minutes we asked to check the list for our name. Come to find out they had already marked it off. We wouldn't have been taken to a table at all if we hadn't checked a second time. We will not be going back. read more

Have been there twice this week, First with a group and even though we couldn't all be at one table we still had a great time, great food and everyone enjoyed their lunch. They had several large groups and if we wanted to wait awhile we could all be put at one table but we didn't want to wait, so that was our choice. The atmosphere is very pleasant and it offers a variety of selections for lunch and dinner. I had the chicken and shrimp combo and was very pleased with it. Everyone in our group said they really liked their selection. Just to say there was 16 of us. The second time was my daughter and myself, we still enjoyed the experience except for her shrimp still had the black vein in them. The manager apologized and took the price of her meal off our ticket. She offered to pay for the chicken strips that she did eat and he very nicely declined that offer and said her shrimp should of never left the kitchen and he was sorry. To me that is the sign of a good manager and we will add this very nice place to our list of going to visit often. read more

This is our favorite place to eat out! We have tried almost everything on the menu and they are all delicious! Appetizers are great too!

I hoped for a new restaurant to add to our rotation. Even though it is nice inside the service was lacking. We had a table of more than ten adults with only one server. Drinks were not refilled, orders were not checked for accuracy and no one asked if we wanted dessert or if everything was alright. My friend ordered steak medium rare and it was well done. My meal was served incomplete. The food tasted good but nothing special. I asked for the lunch menu that was on the website and was told it was old and they didn't have a lunch menu. Needless to say I have better places to spend my money. read more

The food is very consistent. I would not call it trending, it's a good medium quality offering. The portion are very large. If you aren't that hungry, I'd consider sharing an entree. The chicken tenders and fried catfish are great. Also the hushpuppies are a great value at $1. They've got a slight taste of jalapeño. The "three" tortilla chip app is also a great value with super flavor. The entire restaurant is moderately priced including the adult beverages. Watch the wait during Friday and Saturdays, it could take a while to be seated as they do not take reservations. We will continue to visit FD's for our family meals 6-8 times a year. read more

this place is so loud! but the food is so good! i WISH YELP WOULD ALLOW ME TO TYPE IN all cappsss! come out for the great staff, food, and serving sizes! then head to a cave for silence! the crowd noise is so loud! (cough) thanks fd's for the great fried chicken salad! read more

Several of us went for lunch 30 minutes after it opened for the day and they were already out of shrimp for the gumbo (one of their main soups), and green beans (a side dish for many of their entrees). When that happens just 30 minutes after they open, that's obviously poor planning. I also got mashed potatoes as a side, and those were barely warm. Although the prices are decent, and our server was attentive, the food leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Our new favorite! The food is always good and affordable. The service is wonderful! The only drawback is the wait, but they can't help that. We were one of the first people to dine here when they opened and have been back several times now. We go here instead of Cheddars. Everything we've tried is wonderful! read more

Hawaiian chicken was grilled and amazing and I had steamed brocolli as a side. They have a cheap off menu where we had an appetizer for 1 dollar. They were hushpuppies. Firecracker tacos is what my husband got. I try to eat healthy but he doesn't. Good options for us both. read more

Decided to give this a try because of the positive reviews and I'm glad we did. The food was very good and the restaurant felt like a much pricier restaurant. Will definitely come back. read more

Unbelievable value for terrific food and atmosphere! Firecracker tacos are terrific. Excellent service. Local fish very tasty as well. Highly recommended again and again!! Great management. read more

FD knows how to cook! Food is too good for the prices i.e. many of the patrons may be Carnies when they are actually employed. Other than that good place to eat. read more

Nice place. This was my second time in and I'm becoming a fan. The first time there, we had to wait about 10 minutes longer than the hostess quoted (and she is a drawback) but last night, we sat down ahead of schedule. I love the hush puppies. Great App for a group! The food is not earth shattering but very good and consistent for the price. Our service has been very good each time, although we have seen it falling down at other tables, so probably hit and miss there. The best part is how quick drink service is. I get very tired of waiting on drinks and cannot understand how restaurants routinely let the bar ignore floor service. Not at FD's... Drinks come out fast and fresh, and let's face it, that can make any meal taste better. Not great for a date, but for friends and family a good call! read more

We decided to try out FDs GH for the first time last night and it was absolutely great. Each member of our party ordered something different and all plates were phenomenal. I personally ordered the Spinach Dip Chicken Pasta and everything of the dish was cooked and seasoned correctly. For desert I had the Homemade Key Lime Pie and it was extremely refreshing and a great ending to the meal. Apart from the food the service and welcoming hospitality was great as well. We will for sure be back. read more

Hubby and I have driven past this place numerous times, and decided to try it on New Year's Eve. Very happy we did, very nice place, decorated very tastefully with a modern flair. Hostess was not great, not sure she was even awake and seemed bored to death! But our Waiter (Nick) made up for her indifference, he was excellent and very attentive. Prices were extremely reasonable. We started with calamari and then ordered the rib dinner and steak and shrimp. Calamari was delicious, breading was wonderful. Our dinners were tasty, even though my ribs were on the cool side, didn't want to send it back. I did order a vodka martini and this is one of the few places in Springfield that knows how to make a drink. I didn't have to explain to the waiter how it should be done, it was just done correctly and with a great pour under $7 dollars. Very classy place without crazy prices, I think we found our new go to place! read more

See all

Our first visit was really tremendous. We didn't have any particular expectations other than prior Yelp reviews. We tried the Firecracker Chicken appetizer and it definitely delivered. I can see why everyone loves it. I ordered the grilled fish Tacos half order which includes two sides. I selected the homemade Louisiana shrimp gumbo and the fries. Having lived for over ten years in Louisiana, the gumbo was pretty spot on. The fish taco was one of the best I've ever had as well. My wife ordered the salmon on rice not the cedar plank salmon. She loved hers as well including the side of thinly sliced vegetables. Our server was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was not too loud and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazingly good food with decent portions. Nice to see such a classy establishment without the heavy price. A definite repeat

Went with friends tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday. I had the fish tacos which were OK. My husband and one of our friends had the steak. My friend said her steak was not cooked well enough and looked smaller than the 8 ozs advertised. Biggest plus was that our server was sweet and very attentive. Although we waited at least half an hour for our food to arrive, our server did come out to explain that the kitchen was backed up due to some larger groups that had come in. Biggest negatives were 1) the noise level...hard to socialize at our table as we had to yell at each other just to be heard. 2.) Room air temperature was too cold for comfort. And 3.) my husband had to keep swatting flies around our booth. Not sure I would opt to return with all the other choices Springfield has to offer. read more

An excellent place to get a meal with friends. Open and well lit the arrangement of tables doesn't feel too crowded and allows for some privacy. The food was delicious. We started with the hush puppies and they were good, hot and buttery but rather plain. The star was the lemon herb chicken (served over a simple risotto) with matchstick veggies (thin sticks of mixed veggies with a buttery sauce) and sweet potato casserole (mashed sweet potato with marshmallows). I'm glad I got the two breast option as everyone at the table snagged a bite or two. My husband has the fish and chips (he loved it). Our firsts ordered a salad (I forget which) and another order of fish and chips. We have every intention of going back for more. read more

Great service! Great food and the prices are spot on! My family was warmly welcomed and seated. I have a 1 and 2 year old and I can confirm you can comfortably bring your kids here. Great kids menu! I will definitely return. read more

Staff was nice, however our waitress was spacey. She put the wrong order in for one of us, and also gave us someone else's check. We waited for extended periods of time for her to return to our table. Most of our time was spent waiting- either for the correct meal, dipping sauce, the correct bill, and refills (I wanted to order a second margarita but when she finally got back to the table, I was tired of waiting) As far as the food, the steak was cooked as ordered (medium rare) and seasoned well. The chicken tenders were moist and fresh. The salmon was extremely over-cooked and dry. I ate a couple of bites and was done. Since one waitress doesn't reflect the whole establishment, I would be willing to try it again, but I definitely wouldn't be ordering fish. read more

So amazing! Some guys from Cheddars decide to open their own restaurant and took most of the recipes, huge portions and great prices. The firecracker chicken is the same chicken tenders you love tossed in a creamy slightly spicy sauce. Order the app portion as an entree with a salad as a perfect meal . Steer clear of the hush puppies - the server will push them because they are only a buck- they are shaped like sticks and really just taste fried. The fish taco combo is awesome - more like a quesadilla. Get the sauce on the side so your tacos aren't soggy by the end. Also make sure you have what ever side you choose on a separate plate - keeping it crisp! The FD burger has fried pickles on it and is divine! Only one complaint- bring the broccoli rice casserole to your menu! read more
