Chris Camp and the Blues Ambassadors

We sat in the lounge. You can still get everything from a reasonably priced sandwich to a full meal. The atmosphere is unique in Springfield, with low ceilings and live music some nights. The wait staff were slammed as the place was packed, but we weren't in a hurry.

Bowl of Chili
Steven P.

Full disclosure - This review will be a tad long, but worth the read! I have been to quite a few cafes but this slice of Americana was not what I expected! The food was great, if that is all you know or care about then you can stop reading at this point, but I am going to share my experience. I had a bowl of chili when I first arrived and then when my partner in crime showed up I ordered an American burger with steak fries and she had a reuben with steak fries; all of the above was outstanding!! All too often, going to eat at a restaurant has become fast paced and forgettable in our current culture, but today was an exception. I arrived earlier than my fiancé as we had separate missions today before getting a bite to eat. I spent about an hour just sitting at the bar observing and people watching...the ambience was fantastic. The memorabilia on the walls is a combination of The Beatles, American culture, Irish culture, and remembrance placards to those regulars who helped establish and shape the character of the restaurant. Mustard and ketchup in real jars, miniature salt and pepper shakers, real linens, wine glasses that hung from the brass racks above the bar - perfect! The owner (I am assuming) was tucked away in his office carefully hidden behind the mirrored wall but current regulars/friends would ask the bartender if he was around and then go pop in to say hello. The bartender and one waitress on duty were having the type of conversation I could listen to for hours; they knew nearly everyone who walked in by their first name, what they drank, wanted to eat, etc. The music rotating through the 5 tray old school CD player was perfect, as a combination of Fleetwood Mac and Carly Simon era nostalgia was drenching the place in a time gone by. I cannot express enough how perfect it was to feel as if I was immersed in an experience that took me back to my parent's generation - people mattered, conversation mattered, a way of life mattered - the food was just an added bonus!

Shrimp Horseshoe

Came in for lunch with a large party. We waited awhile for the waitress to take our orders and the food took a long time to come. Everyone enjoyed their lunch, however. My Fettuccine Alfredo came with a salad and was absolutely delicious!!! I loved the Mushrooms and Tomatoes in the Alfredo Sauce. I asked for it to be lightly sauced and it was perfect! The Horseshoes were good but not the best we have had. Everyone would have preferred the cheese sauce to be over the fries instead of on the bottom of the plate. The BLT was huge and good. The Cobb salad was also great. Very good lunch overall!

Pork Chop

I was in a group of 8 for New Year's Eve.Once we were seated we waited a good 25-30 minutes for our waitress to come to the table. She was crabby and rude which did not set well with me, especially after looking over the limited menu and noticing that they jacked up the price a good $10-15 an entree since it was NYE. The food was excellent but it was annoying knowing I could go the next night and get the same thing for a lot less.

We come here every couple of months. Great food and service!! One of the better steaks in Springfield. Love the stuffed shrimp!! Generally and older crowd, however, tonight they had younger people there.

Seafood salad, crab shrimp and lots of it, fresh fruit and a muffin.

After attending a conference in Springfield, I decided to treat myself to a solo dinner at Obed &…read moreIsaac's. Having previously visited the Peoria location, I was looking forward to a similarly enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell short of my expectations. I started with the buffalo cauliflower bites, and they were easily the highlight of my meal! They were absolutely delicious and honestly the one thing I truly enjoyed during my visit. Unfortunately, things went downhill with my entrée. I ordered the salmon, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The taste and texture were incredibly off-putting, almost as though I wasn't eating real salmon. It simply didn't taste right, and I couldn't enjoy it. What made the experience even more frustrating was the lack of attentive service. My server never returned to check on my meal or ask how everything was going. By the time they came back, it was only to offer me the check and a to-go container. I didn't even have an opportunity to express my disappointment with the salmon or give the restaurant a chance to address the issue. The ambiance also didn't quite measure up to what I remembered from the Peoria location, which I found much more enjoyable. Overall, the buffalo cauliflower bites were a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing dinner. Between the unpleasant entrée, inattentive service, and underwhelming atmosphere, I can't say I'd be eager to return to this location. Hopefully, my experience was an exception rather than the norm.

I was looking for something with beans and originally ordered the breakfast huarache, mistakenly assuming it was a burrito. I prefer flour tortillas over corn, which started a whole conversation about how the dish is prepared. First, our waiter went to the kitchen to check on modifications, then a second waiter kindly came over to explain the traditional preparation, and finally, the chef himself came out to help! He explained that a huarache is open-faced, not a burrito, but immediately offered a perfect solution: he could custom-make their breakfast burrito using pinto beans as the protein for me instead. When the chef brought it out, it was HUGE. He took the time to explain exactly how he made it and told me to just ask for him or request the modification next time. Not only was the service incredibly attentive, but the burrito was easily the best I've ever had. It's 9 hours later and I am still full from eating just half of it! The food is amazing, the restaurant is clean, and it's clear this team truly cares about their customers. We will definitely be back!
