Santa Fe salad
Macey H.

After visiting last week I decided to come back today. I brought a friend who had never been before and it's safe to say we will both be back. I remembered to take a couple pictures of the food today. Serving size was excellent and the food was just as good as last time. Friendly staff and prompt service. I may have just found my new favorite place in Springfield for a quick bite.

We had been wanting to try this place for a while but kept putting it off. Finally tried it and was so glad we did! Such a variety on the menu, anyone can find something they like. The food was delicious, will definitely be back!

Chicken avocado sandwich and Cobb salad

Everytime I've been here it's been great. Lots of places to sit and a cute outside sitting area. Food comes out fast and big portions. The pasta is also great here

Portobello sandwich and side caesar salad
Ana K.

Decided to try this cute little spot for lunch because I was craving vegetarian food that's west coast style. I ordered the portobello sandwich and a side caesar salad. Both items were good, but I wish there was a special sauce for the sandwich. It wasn't too special, imo.

We liked The Grotto but it wasn't a "knock your socks off" experience. While Yelp said "beer and wine" they had only a couple different options for beer and no wine. I had a Blue Moon and hubby had an IPA. The service was good however I received my Impossible Burger without their signature mayo so I had to get up, wait in line, and ask for it. The Impossible Burger was prepared okay but it and my steamed broccoli were warm not hot. My husband's beget was good. Fresh, cooked right, and the fries flavorful. Overall an average experience but we will try another option if ever in this area again.

Clean environment, nice employees. Ordered chips and salsa to start, and the chips were so thin and crispy. Ordered a pizza with Roma tomatoes, extra cheese, sausage, bacon, and pepperoni and was impressed. A little pricey but worth every penny for sure!

First time here and I thought it was really good! I had the Korean fried chicken bowl which was full of great flavor.

Been eating here twice a week recently. The spicy chicken sandwich is amazing. The spicy tacos are very good as well.

Loved that it was casual. You order your food up front and then sit down. Food was good. Would like to go back.

Excellent burger with sweet potato fries. The service was brief but polite. I like the place, with photos of famous cities in California.

We were looking forward to trying this place since it was remodeled and under new ownership. First…read moreimpression was good. We loved the different places to sit and it had lots of TV's for watching games. Our waiter started out pretty good but that's where it stopped. It took almost 30 minutes to get two burgers. No one bothered to refill our water or see if we needed another drink. Asked a few times right after our food arrived about how things were tasting but paid zero attention to the drinks. And then we continued to wait....gave up on any more drinks and finally went to the bar to get our ticket. The longer we waited the more disappointed we became. Now to be fair, our server was also the bartender. Not that the bar was really slammed.... Even so, you would think that the manager would come around and help. But he did not. And he knew this was our first time coming there. So at the end he asks what we thought. We said it was overall ok. The food tasted good but the services were lacking. He made an excuse and told us to come back again and they would take good care of us. First off, they won't remember us. And if you barely acknowledged the experience we had tonight, WHY would we come back??? I would give the food around 4 stars but the service a 2 and our overall experience a 3.

If you're on the hunt for the best Scotch eggs around, this place is an absolute must. We…read moreunexpectedly went on a scotch egg tour this week. I will not drag the competition, but Dublin's Pass was the clear winner. I won't use specifics, but you get so much more bang for your buck, purely from a financial aspect. Let me first say, the eggs arrive on a plate with a light breading that adds the perfect balance of crunch yet balanced with the soft egg. All brought to you with a mustard that is the perfect combination of pickled veg and punchy mustard. The meat was cooked perfectly. The combination between the meat, egg and mustard marry one another beautifully to lend to a flavor roller coaster in your mouth. What really sets these Scotch eggs apart is the attention to detail. They taste like they are meant for a flavor rollercoaster. Each element feels intentional. Whether you're a longtime Scotch egg lover or trying one for the first time, this restaurant sets the bar high. Simply put: these are the Scotch eggs other places should be aspiring. Eggs aside, we also had an order of the boneless wings. Not a hard thing to get right, but we had roasted garlic parmesan with garlic aioli, to die for. I am from out of town, and this place is absolutely a must. It will never not be on to do list.

As soon as I walked into Dublin Irish Pass, I felt comfortable. The outside is modern, but the…read moreinside felt like a nice, cozy Irish pub perfect for watching sports (there are TVs everywhere) and, in my case, comfort food! Right off the bat, I was greeted by very friendly staff who were keeping busy during the slow opening hour by watering plants or restocking the bar. I decided to head to the bar backed by the very friendly Karlie. Started off with the Scottish eggs, and they came out piping hot and fresh with a side of spicy mustard. The combination of savory sausage flavor, sweetness of the deviled egg, and a dab of spicy mustard made these starters absolutely worth the choice but could almost be a meal itself! Going further along with the Irish setting, I also went with the original cottage pie, loaded of course, and hands down it's the best pie I've had. The beef, gravy, vegetables, and potatoes added with the garlic mashed potatoes and pie crust was absolute bliss. Again, piping hot from the oven with that perfect mix of soft and crunch from the crust was perfection comfort food. Paired with a Guinness, this is as close to heaven as one can get during work's hour lunch break. The bar area started filling up with the lunch crowd towards the end, but Karlie expertly managed all of it with ease, remaining attentive to the gathering crowd while multitasking between taking food orders and serving as well as bartending. This masterful combination of service, atmosphere, and great food is hard to find around Springfield, but Dublin Pass nailed it while making it look easy, making them a highly suggested stop.
