I am sure I've posted a review before but nothing has changed. These people do it right. I personally recommend the Classic Bloody Mary and the Lox and Bagel. I've taken various family members, they've ordered everything on the menu. I've never heard a bad review from any of them. read more

Food was amazing and service was so fast!! I'd definitely come here if your visiting Springfield! read more

Gailey's Breakfast Cafe - americano! the plate is so cute - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Gailey's is wonderful! I have only been for breakfast/brunch but they always knock it out of the park.

The breakfast tacos here are AMAZING! I cannot recommend enough! Absolutely delicious with incredible flavor and a kick of heat!

Very Good!! So Happy Google lead us here. The online check-in worked great They were very busy, but the service was good, and our wait was not bad! Would definitely come back, when in the area!! Highly recommended! read more

My friend and I tried this restaurant this morning and loved the old building and cute atmosphere but once seated there was no wow factor. Our server was unfriendly and gave poor service. My friend had the Denver omelet and was disappointed that it wasn't made like a Denver omelette. He had to ask for ketchup and was given a bottle that was empty and no butter or jelly given for his toast. I had the bear hugger and it was just ok. The bacon was undercooked and fatty, the eggs were overly runny, the gravy was average and not enough to cover biscuits. We were given a table by the kitchen grill area and no one had hairnets on their hair or beards. It was average but will not revisit due to poor service. It wasn't worth a fifty dollar breakfast . read more

A wonderful breakfast surprise! We stopped on a whim - nice atmosphere, interesting architecture, great staff. What can you do with an egg in a skillet - I thought I've had eggs every which way. I got the Big Bite Mike. 2 eggs my way, ham, sausage, bacon, red & green peppers, red onion, mushroom, tomato & queso with just a little heat, all on a bed of home fried potatoes in a bigger then expected iron skillet. Pick your bread and a dollar more gets you gravy on the side! Was delish - while my husband enjoyed his blueberry pancakes loaded and topped with real fruit - he loved my biscuit and gravy. Just a healthy amount of great food. They have quite a variety to pick from. Can't wait to go back! read more

This was a staple for us in college and now my kids are enjoying it! The food is amazing. Amazing. The atmosphere is fun and the staff is wonderful! We stopped in and got the surprise of Friday night karaoke. A staff member got up and sang with my daughter and it was so much fun. I got the breakfast Mac and cheese. Possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten. It was just as amazing left over. read more

Gailey's Breakfast Cafe - Breakfast Mac and Cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I wanted to try a place I had never been before. It's downtown so it's real difficult to try to find a place to park. And after you do you come to realize it wasn't really worth it. Just meh. Not a place I would go out of my way for. read more

Food was great; cooked exactly as we asked for. FAST AND NICE SERVICE! Atmosphere was ok (a little bit shabby). $30 with tip for 2. read more

STRONGLY RECOMMEND :) Forget IHOP, this cute little cafe far surpasses the pancake chain with its homely ambiance and great service. After seating ourselves, my waiter was kind and expressed her exceeding knowledge over the menu to us first timers. The food came out quickly, but not too much to become suspicious. Freedom Waffle w/ hashbrowns and bacon: - mouthwatering, soft waffle - fruits were sweet for the middle of winter - bacon was crisp, but hashbrowns were slightly cold West Coast Melt w/ skillet potatoes: - sandwich was perfect mix of flavors, but slightly salty - bottom bun was moist after a few minutes - skillet potatoes were extremely lightly seasoned Big Boy: - heaping proportions of pancakes! - eggs were cold even though they were over-hard The whole experience reminded me of grandmother's house! I recommend if you're looking for a place to try what Springfield has to offer breakfast wise! read more

Wow! This breakfast was amazing! I had heard great things but wasn't sure if we'd get the same experience. We did and then some! Fantastic server! He was so patient and kind with my questions and indecisiveness. Honestly surprised it doesn't have five stars! What we loved was the big menu! There is something for everyone here! And that's clear because the place is always packed! Food was phenomenal! All of it! The coffee is fantastic. I forget the name but it's so popular they are going to start selling it soon. It was crisp, fresh, flavorful. Best coffee we've had in a LONG time! If you're in Springfield you MUST GO HERE! read more

Great breakfast food and a great location. I always enjoy eating here of friends and the coffee.

One of the best meals I've ever had. I had the El Jefe and it was perfection. I will be dreaming about it until I eat it again. My daughter got the French Toast and it was so good. Great breakfast spot; great atmosphere read more

This is a good place to stop for a late breakfast. My omelette was very good. The waiter provided excellent service. I also liked the old-fashioned atmosphere in the cafe. read more

The food was amazing!! Service was great, food did not take long, and atmosphere was great with the big rooms and big windows. We sat right at the bar where they were making the food, and overall it was just an amazing brunch experience. 10/10, will be coming back! read more

Omg this place is amazing. I was referred here by a friend and I am glad I was. I ordered the breakfast tacos and they were so good. I was blown away by how fresh the avocados were. My wife ordered the eggs benedict and they were amazing. I have never been a fan of this dish but after trying hers, I was impressed. The building has been decorated very well also. If you are ever downtown, check this place out. read more

Wow! Great gem to find along the way to Branson, MO. Creative spin on foods. The waffle fries were awesome. Delicious and fast service. Another customer had 3 large pancakes and he engulfed entirely! read more

I had breakfast here while in town for work. It was absolutely delicious! Great vibes too!

Everything about the place was amazing. I had eggs Benedict with smoked salmon--delicious. My husband had the French toast that looked yummy and he devoured it. It was graduation weekend and the place was packed, but everyone was hustling and provided exceptional service. The ambiance was very pleasing and the staff all seemed to mesh well. If you haven't been there, stop in and see for yourself. read more

Amazing food!! So many delicious sounding choices it was hard to decide what to get. Orange Marmalade stuffed French toast was fantastic. Generous portion and the bacon on the side was cooked perfectly. Short wait time and efficient service. Highly recommend! We will be back. read more

Got the banana walnut pancakes expecting like, normal-sized pancakes They were super thick and each is about the size of a normal plate, I honestly couldn't finish even one of them. They tasted sort of like a banana bread but in pancake form The eggs and kielbasa were also good I would definitely recommend read more

This place is where it is at!! Staff is all super cool, there is art on the walls that rotates and is for sale, AMAZING food, great mimosas, and just overall my favorite place to get breakfast in Springfield. Just be careful going on a weekend for brunch, it will be crazy busy and understandably take a lot longer. But if you go during the week it is so fast! My go to is the El Jeffe Bowl, trust me it's the best!! The vibe of this place is on point. Love it! read more

Did not disappoint! The food was pretty good! Someone recommended this place to us during our trip and we went to try it out. I order the southwest omelet and it was very flavorful and filling. The portions were pretty good and the prices were reasonable. The services was good and fast. This is a very lay back place, nice for get together for brunch with family and friends. read more

Great Springfield breakfast staple! Great food, tasty coffee, awesome service and seasonal options. Plus they have booze now! Pro tip: can be very busy on the weekends, so go before you're starving. If you're going during the week get there early like at 7 when they open because service can be a tad slow but they keep the coffee coming!

Mannnnnn oh mannnn is this place amazing!!! Came here for the second time and realized I didn't leave a review- so now I'm catching up on leaving 5 star reviews where it is deserved. I've had the best customer service here than I've had in a while from other restaurants. The waitresses are always checking back to see if we need more coffee because the cups are small so they know those coffee cups get empty pretty quickly. Both times I've came here I've only tried the same thing because it was THAT good. I always get the Freedom waffle but next time, I'll have to resist and try something new. This is the perfect combination of that off-the-chain diner style breakfast food with your higher-end-hipster style breakfast spot!! Definitely give it a shot- you won't regret it. read more

Excellent service, excellent food at reasonable prices, and a unique setting. I would always recommend this establishment.

Awesome place! The waitstaff is so friendly and genuine. The place is huge with plenty of seating, even for busy weekend brunch. Food is priced well, and their cocktails are pretty good for a breakfast diner. read more

If you like breakfast food, this is your place. Whether it's omelets, pancakes, or oatmeal, Gailey's give you good sized portions of delicious food. Their menu is quite varied and can accommodate the person who wants a biscuit with creamy gravy or a veggie omelet topped with avocado. The service has always been excellent. In the numerous times I've eaten there, my coffee cup has never gone empty. Bar - I've only been there for breakfast or during work days for lunch so I've never asked what they serve, but they do have a full service bar. Definitely check it out. I've never been disappointed. read more

Every time I come to Springfield this is the place for a great breakfast! Today was the strawberry, blueberry waffle, oh such goodness ! Crispy waffle With an abundance of fresh fruit!

The menu is awesome with many fantastic options, everything from biscuits and gravy to bagels and cream cheese! If you are ever in Springfield and want a hearty breakfast and cool place to Just chill and enjoy your coffee , this is the place! read more

We waited 45 minutes. We were excited given the reviews. It took a long time to get our food- which would have been fine if it was worth it. I ordered the chili and grilled cheese. The chili was barely above room temperature and the cheese was not melted in the grilled cheese. My son ordered a Cesar salad. It came with purple onions, cucumbers and broccoli, no croutons, no Parmesan cheese. As we were leaving, we saw a Cesar salad with croutons and Parmesan. He also ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were not fluffy and the chicken was bitter. The Slentz was also ordered. It was lacking flavor. We ended up eating most of the food because by the time we got it we were starving- but it was not worth the wait by any means. The Big Biscuit was one million times better!! read more

While a bit on the expensive side they probably have the best pancakes I've ever eaten in my entire life. I haven't really sat down and enjoyed a meal here I am always getting it to go, so I can't comment on service. The eggs, biscuits and gravy are okay, the sausage a bit greasy for me, but the pancakes; man those pancakes are amazing!!! read more

So so good. My favorite is the stuffed French toast, it's delicious. Their skillets/hash are also really yummy. Don't come if you're in a hurry, you almost always have to wait for a table because they're so popular. read more

Awesome place!!! Great food friendly staff wouldn't go anywhere else for my breakfast

This was so delicious! We flew through Springfield and had time for a nice Sunday breakfast. We found this place on line, and were not surprised to see lots of people waiting outside. We decided to wait the 30 minutes, and were so glad we did! It was actually closer to 20 min, and worth every one. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. They did omit an item from my omelette, but had it back in front of me in less than 5 minutes! Everyone got something they loved. My husband had a skillet, I made a custom omelette, my son had French toast and my daughter had mac and cheese. She can be picky about the mac and cheese she likes, but this one was really good. Creamy but not gooey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Such a great find! read more

The breakfast is so yummy! I literally have tried everything on menu.. So good! Quaint atmosphere!
