Really nice bar and grill very island vibe !! Staff very friendly and went out of their way since they close in 20 minutes

Pina colada
Jamie M.

Wow, this place is simply amazing. Chill vibes when you enter, great music. The drinks were amazing and the food hit every mark for us. It was suppose to be a quick bite and turned into a dining experience for us. My husband and I enjoyed every bite and sip. Our server was quick and friendly without hovering. Overall best experience in Springfield, Mo so far

Ahi Tuna Island Bowl
Michelle B.

First time visit to try Palm and Paddle. Service was awesome! Never had an empty water glass. We had the coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi apps and they were amazing!! I had the ahi tuna bowl for supper and it was sooo good. Perfectly cooked and loved the items in the bowl with it. Fresh healthy option! Giving 4 stars in atmosphere only because the heater wasn't keeping up. I wore my jacket and my toes were freezing by the end of the meal.

Same plate, moved the pasta

I travel to Springfield for work, and I never know what to eat. When I tell you, hours later I'm still ridiculously full and happy, I am. Unfortunately when I arrived I had to wait a while to get the hostess, then I had to be patient to get a server also, but I tell you, the food is worth it. My eyes jumped around the whole menu for a long time, I could not decide, I wanted to try EVERYTHING. Alas, I found the perfect entree, "Can't decide? Pick 2 entrees and get 2 sides" I did not need this many calories, but I regret NOTHING. I'll start with the coconut shrimp. I have been traumatized by this item in the past, in other situations. These coconut shrimp were perfect. A light batter and just a hint of coconut flavor with the coconut shreds. They were accompanied by the house mango habanero sauce which was also on my grilled chicken. I will spare you the details on how much I loved this sauce and just leave it at, I could have drank the ramekin. My 2 sides were the soup du jour, a savory chicken soup with black beans, corn and a ton of flavor and also the Rasta Pasta, pasta with onions and peppers and very solid, savory flavor. I am in town once a month and this place is not far from the new Element hotel. I plan on coming back!

Carne asada w/mango salsa

This new Caribbean inspired restaurant, is the first of its kind in Springfield. In short, this place will finally provide a restaurant option which is different and refreshing. Let's comment on some of the dishes: - Grilled shrimp appetizer: This was a winner of the dish. Shrimp tonight were cooked perfectly. The butter sauce is melded with a chili oil mix of some sort that really works. - Nachos: Cheese sauce needs to be a bit warmer, but plenty of toppings which include black beans, corn, mild jalapeño etc. And the dish (didn't) have too many dry chips - which is a good thing in my book! - Smoked Gouda soup: A tomato based soup with a good amount of Gouda cheese within the soup. Overall, a good soup starter to the meal. - Carne Asada entree: This dish is done very well. Char on the steak but (still) cooked to temp of mid-rare. The mango salsa is a good acid compliment to cut the richer meat taste. - Cuban: They've got the bread coming in from Florida which is the start to a good Cuban sandwich. Has pork and ham on the Cuban. This sandwich can stand to be thicker meat slices in order to prevent being dried out on the cook. - Various sides: Black beans have the right taste but a touch salty tonight; they'll get that dialed in. Roasted corn was pretty good/different side from the norm. Mixed vegetables need a bit less cook and leave some texture. Island rice is a good rice side for a meal. Fries are good and good fry texture, with a softer inside potato taste. The service and pace of meal clicked along at a good pace. The overall feel and ambiance of the place is quite comfortable. Eat Drink Escape ....that's their motto and they deliver on this concept. Get out there and enjoy this new Springfield restaurant!

Top floor seating

Starting with the drinks. Exquisitely flavored teas as well as many unique alcoholic beverages with a beautiful bar and overall wonderful atmosphere. The service from the first step in was nothing short of spectacular even offering us window seating on the top floor. Our waitress was very caring and patient as it's our first time in. Ordered: Mango Habanero Chicken bowl, paired with a nice rice, avocado, black beans and pickled red onion for my lady and she was very pleased. I enjoyed the fresh sea food special which was, Tilapia with a mango sauce, bowl of vegetables and again the very nice rice. The palate was shocked with the new flavors of this wonderful establishment, I highly recommend for any occasion. But on to the important part, the dessert. What was ordered: Chocolate cake and salted caramelized plantains with vanilla ice cream coming with a caramel drizzle as well.

The P&P Cubano was delicious! The bread was fresh and toasted perfectly, with a great ratio of meat, and the mustard was creamy with just the right amount of tang and sweet. The sweet slaw wasn't my favorite, but that's comparing it to the other fantastic sides. So the bar was set pretty high. The coconut chicken and shrimp are our go-to's and are so good they make it difficult to try anything new. We LOVE the sweet chili orange lime sauce! The pineapple Teriyaki pork loin has a wonderful flame-touched char with a sweet and savory Teriyaki sauce. The key lime pie is easily enough for two. It's rich and indulgent with the perfect amount of lime zing. This is a fantastic restaurant with a wonderful outdoor area. We've eaten here a half dozen times and have yet to sit indoors. Do yourself a favor and give Palm and Paddle a try.

We got the Ahi Tuna bowl and the Spicy Mango sandwich, both entrées were amazing!! This was our first time trying and we loved it!
Alexis K.

Food and drinks were absolutely amazing!! We are obsessed with this place. This was our first time coming and we are so impressed! Service was amazing, Shirley took great care of us. We got the mudslide cocktail, the dragonfruit bliss, the hot honey margarita, and the toasted pineapple to sip on while we enjoyed the ahi tuna bowl and the mango habanero chicken sandwich. The only grievance I have is the downstairs area being so open and having quite the echo, especially when it's not super busy. Otherwise, the ambiance is amazing. Margaritaville radio really ties things together! Please try it out!

Small signage at street - inside The Creek building.

It may be a bit hard to find, but once you do it is worth it! The restaurant is the back building in a new space called The Creek. We sat at the bar on the second floor. The tv above the bar that played Caribbean beach scenes was a nice touch--making it feel like an escape to paradise with my Coconut Martini in hand. The Coconut Shrimp Beach Bites were tender and flavorful--but the Sweet and Sour Slaw with pineapple was my favorite bite. The Caribbean Jerk Tiki Tacos were delicious. They were also topped with the Sweet and Sour Slaw. The jerk seasoning could have been ramped up a bit as they were not spicy at all. Overall, we had a great meal. Alli at the bar was very attentive and personable. Great vibe!

Robert S.

Amazing place, looks great inside and out. They were very friendly when they sat us and always checked in to make sure our drinks were full and to make sure the food was good. This was a amazing place and the food was the best I've had.

Smoked Ham & Swiss Melt

The ham and swiss sandwich was great, the coconut chicken was very good and extra fresh! The ribs tasted good but were cold. The pink flamingo drink was also good.

The vibes here are lovely. The rooftop patio is really great. Drinks are expensive. I had a whiskey…read moredrink, Thyme for Spring. It was good, but not $18 good. It should have been $14 lol. Either way, this is the kind of place you get one drink. Our server was amazing. I think his name was Frankie. He was so great! This is a great place for a girl's night or a date. I'd come back for sure.

I visited with some friends on a Friday night at 8 PM, and we had a great experience! We were…read moregreeted right away and were able to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose some comfy chairs next to the large windows that overlook downtown Springfield. I'm absolutely obsessed with the ambiance. It was dark, moody, classy, and modern. I bet it looks very different during the day when all the natural light comes through! Our sever Elias was quite memorable! He's very attentive and personable, and his outgoing, bubbly personality is contagious. For reference, he literally skipped around rather than walking as he went to and from our table to check on us. It seemed like he was having so much fun and genuinely enjoys working there. I enjoyed a glass of sauvignon blanc. Very small glass for the price in my opinion, but no complaints about the taste. My partner had an espresso martini that was also served in a rather small glass, but it was strong and delicious. Love that they offer so many mocktail options on their menu as well! Next time I'm in town, I'd love to visit again to sit outside and try some of their appetizers. Everything sounded amazing!
