    Big Boy platter
    Scott D.

    Execelent service from Kimberly H., she offered drinks to go which is one of my favorites. Richelle and I both got the big boy platters, I got onion rings and she got fries. We also got the breaded mushrooms. I haven't had a big boy since never, so I was happy with it. I was also very happy with the onion rings and mushrooms, actually tasted wonderful with lots of onion and mushroom. If you want a fast food meal in a site down atmosphere go here. My only negative is I got that weird after taste from eating the fried foods then drinking my Coke Zero, I think it has something to do with the oil they use....?

    Well with Bidenomics it looks like $8.99 is the new $5.00. Frisch's isn't one of my go to restaurants, rather one that I'll go to on the suggestion of friends and family. I went on the recommendation of my childhood friend Danny, as a meal on my Anual Cross Country Roadtrip when I was in Springfield. Heather was our server. She was friendly attentive talkative and listened to our stories. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Tenders with Fries and a cherry coke zero, what I got was a coke zero with a splash of cherry syrup for an additional 49 Cents which ate up half my veterans discount. I appreciated that my fries and tenders reached my table while they were still hot. The wings were just a tad spicy for my personal taste as I've grown older. If I order them again I think I'll request BBQ sauce instead of Buffalo. The ranch dressing help ease the spiciness a bit. My biggest complaint was that the place was freezing inside. My friend had an omelet and seemed to really enjoy it. Not a place I'll visit a lot while I'm in Springfield this trip but I will return next summer. Lorrie the manager was nice too.

    We were visiting in the area, and needed FOOD..we also needed a restaurant with multiple choices and sit down dining area. We had a great waitress Alma, she was so friendly. We placed our orders and waited. The food came. It was good, not amazing, but good. We bought a few Big Boy Banks on our way out...wouldn't go here again, just nothing to bring us back...but it was clean, bright and tasted okay

    Nice remodel.

We're used to generous plates with Haitian cuisine and Rose Goute didn't disappoint. The legim was smooth and rich, deep complex flavors with some heat but by no means overhwhelming. Perfectly balanced with the diri djondjon mushroom rice. We also had a chicken plate and griot (pork.) Rose Goute has made our list for "whenever we're in town."

The baked patties I tried were fish, and were extremely similar to a tuna melt and far larger than I expected as I was used to fried patties. The space was designed for efficiency and the moment I completed my patties the main course I had ordered of Goute was ready, realizing I had asked for way too much food for one sitting I asked for a box and the chef quickly brought one and boxed it herself for me to ensure everything travelled and reheated well. The pork (goute) was crisp and refreshing, served with plantains, Russian salad, spicy coleslaw, and some type of noodle dish. I was really impressed with the freshness of the ingredients and how everything just worked together in completely unexpected ways.

I ordered a grilled chilled cheese to be safe because I suspected the quality of other items would be questionable. Unfortunately, the grilled cheese is made with one single slice of Kraft American Singles. Not even real cheese and it wasn't fully melted. The fries are frozen crinkle cut fries, also somehow cold. The bacon was gross, tastes dry and just low quality, like microwave kind? I tried my son's kid waffle which was surprisingly decent. Hash-browns were okay just unseasoned. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for quality ingredients but if you're looking for a greasy spoon you're in business. The staff was nice, probably the only positive for me.

    Lunch at Woody's Diner: A Buckeye Superfan's Dream…read more If heaven has a diner, it needs to be like Woody's--otherwise, I don't want to go. As a lifelong Ohio State fan, walking into this place felt less like lunch and more like stepping straight into Buckeye Heaven. Every inch of the diner is drenched in scarlet and gray pride--autographed photos, jerseys worn by real players, helmets, and memorabilia that makes you want to stand up and belt out "Carmen Ohio." I knew before even cracking the menu: I was home. Our server, Grace, was all smiles and Buckeye spirit. She gave us the rundown--Woody's has been serving up Buckeye-influenced eats for about 15 years. And it shows. The burgers aren't just burgers here--they're tributes, each named after coaches, players, or football legends. Picking one felt like draft day. Grace recommended the Dustin Burger, named after former Buckeye great Dustin Fox. Now, I'll admit--when I heard "peanut butter on a burger," my first reaction was the same as when Michigan wins a game: complete disbelief. But I trusted Grace. And let me tell you... this was no trick play. This half-pound beauty came stacked with peanut butter, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg. It sounds strange, but somehow the combo worked like a perfectly executed Flea Flicker. The bun was grilled, the burger cooked to a juicy medium rare, and by the second bite I needed a stack of napkins big enough to block a defensive line. My wife went with the Tailgate Burger--a powerhouse with house-made BBQ sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, Miracle Whip, and onion straws. Cooked to medium well, it was sweet, tangy, and messy enough to require its own offensive coordinator. She said it was delicious--though maybe a little too "sloppy touchdown celebration" for her liking. And get this--burgers are just the start. The menu is huge, with pizzas, sandwiches, and even big entrees like grilled steak and pork chops. But honestly, when the burgers are this good, I don't know if I could ever call another play. So here's my verdict: Woody's Diner = Buckeye pride + killer burgers + friendly staff = one unforgettable lunch. If you're a Buckeye fan, or just a burger fan, or hey, even if you're that rare soul who just likes food with personality--high tail it to Woody's. Trust me, it's worth it. Until next time, I'm Brian -- and remember to Take the Trip! (And yes, I may have sung the Ohio State fight song all the way home. My wife can confirm.)

We all got the prime rib but the BBQ that was served to other tables made me resolve to come back and get ribs. But, back to our dinner: the prime rib was excellent, not the best ever, but real good - no disappointment. What made it the best (perhaps) was the small town atmosphere and a local crowd that was enjoying visiting as well as eating. As a fly on the wall it was real sweet. The servers were fun and attentive, "honey". The onion ring option was A+. I got the slaw but other folk's side salad looked like a meal. And this was all served with an "almost famous bread".

This super cute little diner is family-owned and operated, and from the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. We had the pleasure of meeting Tania and her granddaughter Maddy, who were both incredibly friendly and genuinely excited that we stopped by. The diner is absolutely oozing with personality. It feels like you're visiting family... if family charged you for a great hamburger! I ordered the Body Bearded Burger, a smash burger topped with your choice of cheese, crispy bacon, peanut butter, and the option to add jelly for just 99 cents. They offer grape or strawberry jelly, and of course I had to try it. All burgers come with fresh-cut fries, though you can upgrade to onion rings for a small additional charge. The burger was outstanding. Cooked perfectly on the griddle and served on a nicely toasted bun, every bite was packed with flavor. The peanut butter added a rich, nutty taste, the bacon brought a salty crunch, and the jelly added just the right touch of sweetness. It sounds like an unusual combination, but trust me--it works incredibly well. The fresh-cut fries were a great side, and the whole meal felt like classic diner comfort food done right. If you're anywhere near Bellefontaine, do yourself a favor and stop by Don's Downtown Diner. Great food, great people, and the kind of hometown atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find.
