Street Tacos
Steven P.

New owners, still great experience, great food and unique outdoor setting for Springfield!

Space
James M.

Must be newly opened or a soft opening (May 5, 2024). This seems like a cool space! Hopefully they start advertising and correct their hours. They don't seem to be posted correctly, as it's currently 2:30pm and there's still live music going, that, according to Illinois Times, goes til 4pm. (Signs posted on banners and the Yelp hours say it closes at 2 everyday - though I've previously been here at night - and the worker inside just told me they're open til 8pm.) The food seems pretty decent with a variety of options. Tacos in one stand, BBQ (pricey but smells great) in the next, and a sort of Asian/Ramen/Bao stand on the end. This place has some real good hang potential once people know it's open (the website still says "coming Spring 2024" instead of currently open. Come on out Springfield. Support local. And local businesses, the tiniest bit of advertising goes a long way - updated hours and websites. Hope maybe this post helps get the word out. Springfield, photograph your visits to businesses to help out. PS the ice cream and coffee inside is excellent!

Small coffee shop, serves roasted coffee, which is delicious, best coffee that my boyfriend has had. Beans come from Elm City Roastery. I had a small maple latte. No skim milk, ordered with Almond milk. We had a homemade red velvet cookie. All cookies and scones are homemade. Also serve homemade ice cream. No breakfast meals, but lunch serves sandwiches and soups. $$

Located inside Anvil and Forge!…read more This is a locals haunt. They use old world farm type of textiles to fuse old with new world. They have art on the wall for sale. It's colorful, loud and tough with spirits! Now the kitchen inside the distillery is the Foundry Kitchen. It's a local haunt that sells pizza, salads, burgers, and various other food items. Get your grooves on and enjoy the eats of authentic food in all its glory. The service is great. When you order a soda from the bar they have free refills. They have complementary water in the lobby area that's self serve. They bring the food to the table based on the number assigned. Love the rich and spicy sauces they use. However you go make sure and have fries along with your burger or sandwich they are truly delicious. The best of evening fun, food, and brews here. I

We stopped in Springfield on our road trip and found this place for a burger and it was very yummy…read more The only downside is they only offer HUGE burgers but we were able to share so it worked out for us. I also had one of their beers but can't remember which one, maybe it was blueberry?? It was good but a little sweet so wish I had gotten a smaller one. The fries were also great, obviously home made. I will say we sat outside because it was a gorgeous day but you can't walk back in the side door so you have to walk around to the front every time which was odd and inconvenient.

After attending a conference in Springfield, I decided to treat myself to a solo dinner at Obed &…read moreIsaac's. Having previously visited the Peoria location, I was looking forward to a similarly enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell short of my expectations. I started with the buffalo cauliflower bites, and they were easily the highlight of my meal! They were absolutely delicious and honestly the one thing I truly enjoyed during my visit. Unfortunately, things went downhill with my entrée. I ordered the salmon, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The taste and texture were incredibly off-putting, almost as though I wasn't eating real salmon. It simply didn't taste right, and I couldn't enjoy it. What made the experience even more frustrating was the lack of attentive service. My server never returned to check on my meal or ask how everything was going. By the time they came back, it was only to offer me the check and a to-go container. I didn't even have an opportunity to express my disappointment with the salmon or give the restaurant a chance to address the issue. The ambiance also didn't quite measure up to what I remembered from the Peoria location, which I found much more enjoyable. Overall, the buffalo cauliflower bites were a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing dinner. Between the unpleasant entrée, inattentive service, and underwhelming atmosphere, I can't say I'd be eager to return to this location. Hopefully, my experience was an exception rather than the norm.

Our party enjoyed the spaghetti with meatballs and pizza. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. The desserts were incredible, especially the tiramisu. While parking can be a hassle depending on when you go, it is well worth it. Cannot stop thinking about the food since we left and am very excited to come back soon.

Ok so, it's hard to know where to start with this place! We were greeted by a nicer middle aged man…read morethat was so helpful. He explained the menu and made some awesome suggestions. The ambiance was welcoming and made you feel like you were definitely in an Italian restaurant. It was a little loud but not to a point where it was unbearable. We started with some Itialian lemon tea and peach tea that were unbelievably tasteful. We also had to try the black cherry cane soda that was so flavorful. NEW YEARS SALAD was so good and everything in the salad seemed to be of high quality. I wish there was a little more dressing but overall the amount of dressing would prob be great for the normal person. I ordered the FUSILLI AL PESTO and it was so good. I added shrimp to it and it went well with the flavor. The bread they bring out was so soft and delicious. We could have eaten another loaf. We also ordered the pizza and it was so good. The kids ate the whole pizza and said we have to come back here again. I have to say the pizza was not like any other pizza in town. The parking can be a bit tough but absolutely worth trying to find a spot.

I woke up this morning wanting a bagel. I never eat breakfast, but today was the day. I went to one…read moreplace I've heard my coworkers mention. It has a drive thru and has very plain jane vibes for all the hype it gets. The bagel was okay. The cream cheese came in little store bought containers. So unsatisfying. So, I decided to try again. I come here and I got the Parmesean bagel with poblano cumin cream cheese. Oh my gosh. Made with love, you can just tell. The cream cheese was softer than what I was used to so Im 100% sure they make it there. The poblano cumin has a little kick to it. It was just nice, and it had a little personality to it. Just like this place itself. I told myself even if I never write reviews this place deserves one and then I saw some lackluster ones. Listen. This place has personality. The paintings are cool. They're a little dark, but that's art babbyyyyyyyy. It's nice that this place isn't so cookie cutter. My parents had their pie before, no complaints. Maybe they need to line up their pastries and reassess where their strong suits lie... or maybe you guys should just eat their bagels because I can tell you with authority that's where the magic lies. They promote kindness. I just looked around and kinda saw the personality of the business a little and it's nice. I would be happy if this was my local bagel and coffee shop. I might eat breakfast more often. Honestly, I think they should just come to Detroit and open up shop there! We'd be happy to have you.

Liked it so much, returned to get road trip snacks the next day when we left town. Friendly service without the usual annoying "I'll help whose next in line," or "would you like a receipt today?" or worst of all, "Have a nice rest of your day." Instead I got a plain English, "hello," and "thank you." I do so like my baked goods with good, clear, communication, especially before coffee is on board.
