this is such a great breakfast spot!! The ambiance is bright and inviting & the staff is amazing! Fast service and great food every time!!

I really like Gailey's presentation. The food is really flavorful and the staff makes the experience pretty fun. Sometimes I come and want to just be left alone, and sometimes am chatty, and they seem to sense the correct times. Thanks for being a great restaurant Gailey's Breakfast Cafe. read more

I came to Gailey's for the first time after many recommendations and it was completely worth it! The portions are massive. Originally I looked at the menu and thought that the prices were kind of high, but the portions and quality of food is worth it. The food also was enough to make two meals for myself instead of one! I will for sure be back and if you are in Springfield give it a try. read more

I love the food here, but the service is hit or miss. Today I came by myself and was randomly seated at a "2 top" in the middle of two isles next to the wait staff's expo station. I was bumped into twice by staff trying to rush around other wait staff grabbing food off of stands used to hold food on a busy weekend. I asked my waitress to move me and she stated I would have to go to the back of the line to get a new table (even though my food order was already placed). Then waiters proceeded to carry food orders over my head as I tried to eat, as they needed room to clear the congested expo area. Also, I never got the ketchup I requested. This made for a miserable dining experience. Suggestions: Do away with this table on busy weekends, you are doing your employees and the patrons sitting at this table a disservice. Also, have a talk with the kitchen staff, they all worked hard but very few looked presentable in a open kitchen; CLEAN ironed clothes and perhaps at least a Gailey's t-shirt... not shirts from random other places I assumed they worked at in the past. I had to think twice about this review, as I love this place but ownership needs to step up and get this hardworking staff organized, working efficiently, and presented in a professional manner. It wouldn't take much to get this restaurant turned around... hopefully they give me a a chance to update this review to something more respectable. read more

Gailey's Breakfast Cafe - Stuffed French Toast with blackberry jam. Had eaten half before I took the picture! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

What an awesome little cafe! Just stopped in on our road trip thru MO and super impressed. Very satisfied with their customer service! Prices are very reasonable and the food was hot and delicious! Would highly recommend. The building is old style with wooden floors to give it a rustic feel! read more

Loved this place! The history of the building, the architecture feels like you are having breakfast at someone's home, amazing local musician playing music and the food was exceptional. I got a vegan burrito & it was perfect! The staff was kind, everyone helping anyone that had a question and took the time to be personable & connect with their customers. read more

A random yelp find but a pleasant one. My mom got the eggs Benedict - the hollandaise was amazing and she really enjoyed her breakfast. I had the country skillet with eggs over medium and it was also very tasty. Only downside was the side of biscuits and gravy - the gravy was a bit bland and the biscuit a bit dry. However, the heavy was the perfect addition to the country skillet. I also really enjoyed the texture of the hash browns - not too crunchy, not too soft. I plan on coming back. Oh, and Mom loved the coffee. read more

Came for breakfast this morning. Super efficient with the seating, seem to be doing well there. Also loved that there was self serve coffee while you wait. Service was pretty good, but felt like the time between ordering and getting the food out on the table was a bit long. Food was delish. I got the gingerbread pancakes, which was the special. Served with amazing cinnamon sugar butter and pecans. As well as eggs and hash. A hearty portion and well worth it. So delicious. Others got omelettes with toast and the toast was awesome! Hearty, fresh slices. None of that bagged grocery store crap (I can eat that at home). Plus the omelettes were stuffed with the toppings which was appreciated. Something on the menu for everyone in every mood. They will please all ages and all palettes for sure! read more

Wonderful breakfast! The wait can be a nightmare but everything I've tried had been great. Not a quick meal but worth the wait.

Very friendly staff and super yummy food. The gravy was so so good. Hot tea selections were pretty good as well.

I was greeted and sat in a timely manner, the inside was decorated in a modern way and I loved all the fun colors and decorations on the wall. My server was Kennan (I'm not sure that's how you spell it) but he was awesome and made he me feel welcome as I am new to this state and this town. I absolutely loved their coffee and I probably had 2 and a half cups. To eat, I got eggs with sausage which was absolutely amazing and a nice waffle that came with maple syrup. The maple syrup was so good. I will definitely be back! read more

I love Gailey's! The food is delicious, the staff is always nice and helpful, and the prices are fair. I love grabbing a cocktail while I wait for my table. read more

I have been going to Gailey's for several years. Kinda of hit miss with the food. I sat in the kitchen dining area and watch the cooks. None of the cooks were wearing hair nets. The one cook had a really long beard and long hair and he wasn't wearing a hair net for his beard or hair. He was also the only one not wearing gloves. Not sure if wearing hair nets are required but if I owned Gailey's the cooks would all be wearing them. It just isn't appetizing to watch hair hanging over my food being cooked. read more

First time here. Went for breakfast on a Tuesday morning around 0930. Not very crowded. Hardcore early breakfast folks already departed. Took a seat at the bar. Multiple breakfast combos on the menu. Decided on "Bear Hug" on advice of the beautiful young lady behind the bar. Excellent hardy breakfast: 2 giant biscuits with ample sausage gravy, 2 eggs, 3 sausage patties, hash browns. Attentive service, perfectly made-to-order meal, and comfortable atmosphere. 5 stars in my book and definitely a prime breakfast spot. read more

I have been here a few times & there is nothing that could ever make me go back. Long waits, slow service, terrible food, unfriendly staff & management. All around terrible. Last time it was just my husband and I. We ordered Bear Hugs. Things trickled out, 1 of our biscuits and gravy but not the other, then one of us got their eggs, but over 90 mins we did manage to get all the items we ordered. The problem was that the cook brought out my husband's eggs over easy, the whites were still clear. The egg couldn't have been in a pan for more than 30 seconds if that, you could see before he set them down they weren't cooked. My biscuits were so hard I physically could not cut them with a butter knife and fork, they were inedible. My bacon was so burned it broke into dust when I picked it up. After all was said and done, we didn't have one full meal between us that was edible and were told it would be another hour to remake the food. We instead asked for one of the meals to be taken off the bill so we could leave & hit a drive thru for better food. All they kept saying is "Well we are busy right now." So being busy means you can potentially kill ppl with food borne illnesses? read more

Amazing service with a fun atmosphere and a great breakfast it's a hard to beat combination

We stopped in for breakfast while in town visiting. Everyone was really nice. Our server was great. She fixed my son a rootbeer float for breakfast! The food was really good with generous portions. Each room had a different vibe. We sat in the diner area. It was a cool vibe. We would definitely come again! read more

I wish I would have taken a photo before we started eating. This food looked amazing as always! Luckily it was as tasty as it looked. If there were a downside, I would say that the portion sizes are too large. Plan on leaving here stuffed! I just commented to my wife that you can't get more food for the price any where else. And it's delicious! We always go to Gailey's when we're in Springfield Mo. read more

They should call this cinnamon bread and serve it with a gatorade (for obvious reasons). No icing and this shit will crack your throat with how dry and hard it is. read more

The food was super good but the wait was agonizing. Avoid this place on Sundays unless you have a few hours to blow.

Good, clean, standard breakfast place! A bit of a hole in the wall, definitely worth visiting!

I got a vegan skillet that was so delicious! Service was outstanding and the ambiance was perfect. If I lived here, I would be a regular!

So good, and if you are a sweet potato fan, you have to try the sweet potato hash browns!

I had the stuffed french toast, eggs, and bacon. Especially enjoyed my french toast stuffed with cream cheese and raspberry jam. Yummy! The restaurant was very appealing snd the staff was attentive. I would recommend. read more

I love Gaileys and this makes me so sad.. but the last couple of times I have been SO disappointed. The pictures are of my eggs Benedict. There's not even any 'shaved ham' the prices have gone up (which I understand) but the quality and amount has gone down. read more

I'm a guest at the nearby hotel and absolutely loved this place! The coffee is great and there are a ton of vegetarian options available. I especially enjoyed the vegetarian biscuits and gravy as well as the veggie breakfast burrito. I'll definitely be coming back when I'm next in town. read more

Everything about this place is perfect! The food, the ambience and the service. Went here on a long weekend Sunday at peak time and we were still seated in about 10 minutes. They have the softest and creamiest banana walnut pancakes ever! The Omelettes and the side hash browns were well cooked and were a good serving size. The coffee here is pretty good too! I love the setting and the decor of this place. It is very pleasing and brunch like! I'm definitely adding this to one of my favorite brunch places in Springfield! read more

The food is a combination of a traditional diner and English breakfast-inspired items. The coffee is good. I ordered the Southwest Omlette - it was tasty but a bit spicy for my taste. My husband ordered a relatively standard breakfast - the eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was delicious and cooked well, their signature sweet potato hash browns were delicious. This charming diner was located in what was formerly a pharmacy. They had live music in the morning, which was an extra special touch. I do want to mention that their bathrooms were really unclean. This hasn't been an issue in my past visits so I hope it was a one-time error. read more

I had the Ozark Benedict and now I don't think there's any reason to have eggs benedict the normal way. Nice place with friendly staff and good selection. read more

This place has the best breakfast, hands down. The chicken & waffles is one of my favorites, with a perfect amount of fried crunch and awesome seasoning. Also, the eggs benedict is superb. Can't forget about the potatos. Makes for a perfect hangover recovery, or just a nice breakfast/brunch restaurant you can take your family! read more
