    Stopped in here during a recent trip after finding it on Yelp. The restaurant was busy but they had us seated in just 10 minutes. The atmosphere was diner like with nice assortment of nostalgic pictures . The service was great with the server keeping our coffee mugs full throughout our visit. Our food was delicious and I would come back next time I am in Springfield

    We came here for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is fun and the service was great. I got Jim's Platter. It was wonderful. I really enjoyed the biscuit and sausage gravy. The portions were quite large. I appreciated that they only use fresh cracked eggs and no boxed eggs. I would definitely come back again.

    Stopped in around 0845 on a Tuesday and it wasn't that busy, so we got sat right away by a very pleasant waitress. It was clean and quiet with music playing. I got the Cinnamon Roll pancakes and they were delicious. Super sweet which I expected so I ate only 4 or 5 bites before taking the rest home, which I did end up eating as dessert after dinner. My partner got biscuits and gravy. Gravy had good flavor but he said the biscuits were a little too hard. Cappuccino tasted like the gas station cappuccino, but I like that so.....

    For a Sunday service was fast. Get on the waitlist early. Food was awesome, just like grandma used to make gravy. Place was clean and not very loud. We well be back.

    The drink price.

    This restaurant is right next door to RibCrib and across the street from Battlefield Mall. I just popped in for a small quick snack to go while doing some shopping. Big Biscuit surprised me on my first visit. I only bought 2 items, sausage and strawberry lemonade. They do not list prices on the menu at the To Go counter. 2 items were nearly $10. I had sticker shock when I heard the total and I saw the price of my lemonade. It was followed by sugar shock because the strawberry lemonade is EXTREMELY sweet. I paid a million dollars for it and had to throw it away. The sausage patties were good though. And I really like the name Big Biscuit.

    Ordered to go and received a dry burnt biscuit. I called company and worker said she did not take it and manager stated ok. Food & customer service sucks.

    Good service, good food, but if I were you I'd stay away from the corned beef hash. Not up to my standards everything else was great.

    Is there only sausage gravy or can they do a vegetarian no meat gravy?

    Loved our stay in the mansion! My daughter booked it and I didn't know what to expect…read more The place has a really interesting story and the owner has put a lot of love into its restoration and operations. Heck, she even had Brad Pitt's dad help with wallpapering! The place, obviously, is not a chain hotel and if you are expecting things to be like a chain hotel, you might not be happy here. But if you are reading the reviews you probably already know this. We stayed on a Friday night, so we were there for the weekend breakfast, which I enjoyed. We had not heard ANY sounds from other guests at any point during the night, so were surprised that other people were there at breakfast. A guest at the other table said to us that he was surprised to see anyone else was here as they had not heard us either! It turns out that their room was very close to ours; and there were guests in other rooms as well! Wish all hotels were that quiet! Because of the historic nature of the building, it seems it might be inaccessible to people with mobility issues. Our room (the Chapel suite) was pink and frilly and not really my style of decor - but it's not like I'm moving in! It was definitely a change from usual hotel decor, which is never to my style either! It's a pretty large place and is not as cozy as a small B&B. But it's very reasonably priced compared to those. Beds were quite comfortable, more so than most hotels in my experience. We had reserved 2 nights, but had to cut our vacation short due to weather predictions on the route home. They were completely understanding and didn't charge us for the cancellation of the next night. Will definitely stay here again!

    A very cozy and unique place for a reasonable price! The breakfast was also great! I would stay…read moreagain!

    Sleepy Opossum was a great stop for a simple but really satisfying breakfast. I ordered the basic…read morebreakfast with fried eggs, and they had a subtle hint of Cajun seasoning that gave them a really nice flavor. It was a small touch but made the dish stand out. The side salad was a fresh spring mix with a light vinaigrette that paired nicely with the meal. Service was friendly, attentive and made you feel at home. Definitely a cozy spot to start the day.

    YUM AND YUM. We arrived right after opening and were seated immediately (but it filled up quick on…read morea Sunday morning!!). Started off with the orange zest caramel latte and it was great: noticeable orange flavor, not overwhelmingly sweet, and served hot in a big campfire-style mug. We split the "super basic brekky" (biscuit, 2 fried eggs, 2 sausage patties, and a side of dressed greens) and the "bean gurlie" hashbrown bowl (hashbrown casserole, fried eggs, beans, onions, peppers, cheese. Also came with a side of dressed greens). Portions were filling and everything was DELICIOUS. The biscuit was our favorite part of the meal (tall, fluffy, amazing), but the sausage and the hashbrown casserole were close contenders. I'm not a huge greens person at breakfast, but whatever they dress them with was super tasty and I loved it. Decor gives thrifted grandma vibes in the most fun and curated way. Staff was very efficient and kind. We'll absolutely be back!
