I live in Arkansas and I reached out to Sidebar about a possible birthday party for my son that lives there. I'm not very familiar with Springfield and I had already called several places that told me they could not accommodate us. I had never visited a Sidebar location, but I read that they had a party room. Dalton promptly returned my phone call and told me they couldn't give us the party room that night, but offered to set aside several tables. It worked out so well! My son was truly surprised and the staff were so friendly and accommodating to all our friends and family! The food was great! Everyone had a great time! My son and his friends that are from Springfield, all said they would be returning! I will be going when I return for visits too! Great and professional establishment! read more

Alright...today, we tried the Wing Wednesday"...and wings for a $1 a throw. My thoughts: - Wings are fairly small. - The wings have a nice crisp and cooked good. - Hot Buffalo: Good...not great. Not hot at all much. - Asian Goinjan (sp): This was good. More like an orange chicken and not hot at all. - Garlic Parm: These are nothing good...at all. They don't taste like anything garlic or parm. - Blue Cheese dressing: Generally, not very good. My suggestion for wings: Wing Stop. They're great in every way...in taste and cook. Blue cheese is awesome. read more

We've been coming here since they opened at least once a month. The food, especially the burgers and sides have always been fresh and good. Hope they keep it up as I can't believe they only have 3 stars!! Possibly a personnel issue at different times? Anyway give them a try. Great specials every day. Bring back the meatballs!!! read more

The service was good. It was fast. I only have two complaints and it's about about the food. I ordered chips and salsa to go. The salsa I swear is Tostitos salsa. Very disappointing. I also bought a child's macaroni and chicken very non-creative dish. It had cut up chicken strips in macaroni and cheese. The sauce on the macaroni and cheese was super thin. I don't think I'll go back there anymore. read more

Been here many times service was always excellent but the last few times they have high turnover of employees always new people tender the bar. Ignored when needing refills 15 to 20 minutes or you have to holler at them to get another drink not that it was busy at four or five tables and a few people at the bar and a couple people working behind the bar that was focused on talking to their buddies and serving them and ignoring the rest of customers it will probably a while before I come back maybe it'll be some change. Used to have live music I asked about it and they were unaware of people live music. Their food is excellent. I had to wait 15 minutes to just get my check that had to stop somebody to ask for me to get it since I was being ignored or maybe I was just invisible and they couldn't see me. read more

We started off with the spinach artichoke dip and it was pretty bland plus the chips taste stale. I ordered the jalapeño burger w loaded tots and my husband got the farmhouse burger. Jalapeño burger was pretty mid but my husband really enjoyed his meal. The maple bourbon rub was fantastic on the fries and will be back to try on wings. Atmosphere was great since they had entertainment that evening. Side note: ranch was very watery. read more

Just bad all around. The food at first was good but the servers had sticks up asses. Tried delivery and completely lost my trust and respect because they messed up my order more than once. Tried to offer a free appetizer. It wasn't hard to be nice in the first place since we were nice to you.. Hopefully you all change on how you treat people and not pour and drench hot sauce on food. read more

Great food and great service. Had a wonderful birthday celebration, I'm sure we will go back again.

Terrible service, terrible food and rude owner. You wait 45 or more minutes to get any service and the food quality is terrible. The owner was rude and threatening when we tried to find out where our food was. I recommend avoiding this establishment. There are so many great places in Springfield and this is not one of them! read more

16.5 minutes from seating to food on the table. Impressive. Food is fantastic. Completely enjoyed my meal. Top shelf scotch. Grand IPA. read more

Went for wings on Wednesday big disappointment. Beer was cheap for happy hour, we also got nachos which were good, lots of topping, but wings were not good at all. I would go back and try something else. read more

This place is severely lacking in good energy. The drinks are off and the food is pretty mid.

Food is great, always good there. But the ginger beard bartender was a total A-hole. Had a real attitude problem and basically threw our fries at us without saying anything. Seemed to have a problem with us ordering to-go for some reason. Kierra the server was wonderful. read more

Came with a small group. Service was OK but took a long time. Group had a reservation well in advance. Some food (shrimp and green beans) were cold. Pretty disappointed. read more

Sunday, December 7. Came in to watch the Packers game. There was like 10 or so people there. The young man that said he would find it for us evidently couldn't find it. Never came to tell us he couldn't find it. It was on Fox and he scrolled past it multiple times, instead he was next to the bar drinking a soda. Waitress was apologetic. I will never go watch a NFL game there again, despite happy hour prices. We came to Georgia Mac's and they have 7 TVs of the Packers game and about 100 people. At Georgia mac's quicker service, friendly service. Better to go down the street! Waste of time. read more

The al pastor tacos had been pretty good. The wings had been just okay, I think I would have ordered more tacos instead of the wings if I had to do it over again. However the smoke machine apparently was broken so I couldn't get a smoked old fashion and they had been out of a few choices for bourbon to make he old fashioned. Service was unfortunately very slow for it being a dead Wednesday night. read more

We had a party in the private room a few weeks ago. I reserved the room at least three months in advance and met with the owner Dalton twice. He told me both times there would be "no charge" for the room rental due to the fact that we reserved for almost 60 people and the cost of the rental would be absorbed into the money we were spending on food and drinks for our guests. The party was wonderful, and the staff was amazing. We paid at the end of the night but did not look at the itemized bill until the next day only to find we were charged for the room rental. I reached out to Dalton the very next day to ask about this and of course her never responded to me. Finally, around two weeks later when I made one last attempt to let him know how disappointed I was that he just ignored me he responded with lies, lies, lies as to why he did charge me for the room rental. One excuse was that the party was on a busy bar night. Ok, well, the party was booked on a Saturday night well in advance and I was told there would be NO ROOM RENTAL FEE. After hearing all his excuses, it was clear he was not going to stand by his word. Please do not be a fool like me and trust his word! make sure you get a signed written contract. Sadly, I thought he was a standup guy........MY BAD! It really isn't even the money, it's the principle. Sidebar now has at least 50-60 adults that will never do business there. Best of luck to you! read more

First time stopping by on $2 taco day and the waitress was super attentive and helpful. I had a margarita and a carnita taco and a fish taco. The carnita was huge and flavorful with loads of meat, all of the toppings were fresh and delicious. The fish taco is my absolute new favorite thing though! I would say the fish is better tasting that I've recently experienced with Dublin's and London's fish and chips and that's saying something ! So flavorful with a nice crispy coating and tender inside. I will definitely be going back maybe just for more fish tacos! It wasn't too crowded which surprised me for a $2 taco night and I honestly think people are sleeping on this restaurant, definitely give it a try! read more
