    The Truck Stop Breakfast, plus coffee.
    Joseph B.

    Sometimes you need a good down-home Southern meal. This place delivers in spades. I had the Truck Stop Breakfast plus coffee... and for less than $10 ($9.41 to be exact) they sold me for life. The pancakes were fluffy and huge, and the biscuit was divine, buttery and not too dense. The sausage gravy could have used a little more flavor, but a pinch of salt took care of that. The bacon was thick-cut and crisp but not overdone. The eggs and grits, however, were the items that made my eyes roll back. It's very difficult to cook a perfect over-medium egg, and they did it twice. The grits were amazing, the perfect consistency. It's very easy to get them too thick or too soupy, but these were perfect. The hash brown was a bit of a letdown, and the only reason they didn't get 5 stars. It was pretty much the same as you would get at any fast food chain, a fried slab of chopped potato. The waitress was friendly and chipper (as were the regulars in the dining room), got to me promptly, and checked back often. She succeeded in avoiding my pet peeve: asking how everything is before I've even tasted it. I discovered that the waitress' parents ran the place and were doing the cooking in the back. A family-owned, family-run restaurant: It skipped past the pitfalls this kind of business can fall into and lodged firmly in my keeper list.

    an omelet, bread, and coffee
    Phillip M.

    This is a good old time cafe. The omelet was well made with fresh ingredients and the gravy was homemade with very good sausage. The only complaint I have is that after making a great well crafted omelet and scratch made gravy, the hash browns were the frozen patty type that you throw in the deep fryer. Same as you would get at McD's or some other fast food place. The waitress was friendly and food came out quickly. I will give it only 3 stars because of the hash browns. I'll be back next time I'm in the area and hopefully try the lunch/dinner menu.

    This place was a little treasure find. After hiking all morning, we needed to find a spot for…read morelunch. This happened to be the closest spot, and boy was it a find. They had a variety of choices. We did not know what to get as everything sounded good. I got the Springfield signature dish - the Horseshoe Sandwich which was delicious! My companions got a burger, Potato Soup, Wings, and catfish. Do not miss out on their cobbler! The crust was perfection! Also, make sure to get the Sweet Tea. It's made in house and is the right amount of sweet. We all had our fill! On top of it all our server was so kind and welcoming and friendly! She made sure our sweet tea was always filled. The place itself is spacious. The outdoor space looked like it could be a lot of fun in the evening.

    Mixed review. My best friend & I stopped on our way to Garden of the Gods. She had a BLT & fries &…read moreshe said it was good. I ordered a Philly Cheese steak sandwich, fries & fried jalapeños (because I had never heard of them) the fried jalapeños were way way too salty, the meat on the cheese steak had no flavor, no seasoning at all, it was cold & the the texture was off putting. The fries were also too crispy for me but I will own that one. I didn't specify to make them softer. And my meal alone... almost $30 bucks!!! The waitress took too long to take our drink order & then seemed rushy to get our order. She seemed more concerned with working the customers at the bar. She wasn't rude, just inattentive. The decor was awesome tho & it was peaceful in there. The bathrooms were very nice & clean with funny signs. It will not be a repeat experience for me.
