    Plates 1 of the best Walleye you will ever eat outside of Minnesota or Canada. Awesome. Get here soon
    Conrad A.

    STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING! Jump, walk, swim or fly here immediately. Leaping lizards - I have found the Mother of All Friday Night AYCE Fish Fries!! This is not your usual generic, wore out Southern Catfish Fry (a fine treat but...). It's Friday and Ziggie's is offering AYCE Walleye. Walleye? Are you kidding me? Typically I have to to Minnesota or Canada (called Pickerel up North, eh?) to just hear a story about this marvelous treat. Walleye, IMHO, has a firm, white flesh that is as sweet as maple syrup (ok, exaggerating) but it makes Cafish/Tilapia taste like used motor Ziggie's presents their Walleye as 2 enormous filets, lightly breaded in a delicate batter resembling Panko coating. The chefs in the back cook it just right - beautiful to look at amd even better to taste. Each bite melts in your mouth with a subtle hint of brown sugar and butter but that's just how Walleye taste to me. These people do it RIGHT! I wanted to write this earlier but I could not stop wolfing these slabs of friend goodness long enough to write. I have demolished a small school of fish now, so wanted to share. They close at 2030 hours (8:30 PM). I have no idea if this is a daily/seasonal thing. Apologies. If their sign shows AYCE Walleye, turn in immediately and strap on a feed bag. This meal is not for the faint of heart. If you are novice fish fry beginner or an accomplished gourmand - you can thank me later by visiting. P.S. they have proper malt vinegar, homemade coleslaw that will make ur heart skip a beat, and homemade tartar sauce. Excuse me, going to try the Pecan Pie. Stop in for yourself. I'm coming back for breakfast - that is epic as well.

    a meal in a plastic container - A foam takeout container holds a taco with a soft tortilla base topped with cooked beef, chopped tomatoes, onions, shredded cheese, and sliced pickles. The ingredients are arranged in a casual presentation, with some ingredients spilling over the edges of the tortilla. The background shows a patterned carpet, indicating the photo was taken indoors.

    This place is hit miss as far as quality of food. I do enjoy the gyro as shown in pictures. They just did put much in it, so that was disappointing. The service staff also can be very rude, so be prepared.

    NOT real butter!

    We're back in a food desert here in North Springfield! If wanting fresh healthy food makes me a food snob then so be it! Personally I would have given this place two stars but hubby had the steak and eggs and was satisfied. Good thing I was not too hungry so I decided to order the short stack, a good menu option since I can never eat three pancakes. But yikes - they couldn't even provide real butter so I ate them dry. (I always pass on syrup). The only reason we chose this place is because it was late and it was right next door to our hotel but had I read some of the other reviews about the cleanliness (lack of soap in the restroom which I hope has been rectified), I would have insisted on going farther to search for a place.

Eating in a wing back chair, at some odd table, isn't well suited for dining. But, sure looks neat. The food is ok to good: Burger : The burger was really good. Has some jam sauce on it which really works. Beef has a good flavor. The bacon was very good. . Potato soup: The soup is good....but needed far greater seasoning to have it be great. Pork Wings: Again, needed more seasoning to elevate the pork. And the dipping sauces were a bit unusual. And the Asian style sauce - by gosh did it have a ton of saffron. Patagonia side item: These potato chunks weren't much. Potatoes were nothing special, under seasoned and the dipping sauce was unusual. And so much saffron, it was way overpowering. . Is it worth going to - absolutely and the place is neat. But I give an extra 1/2 to 1 star more, just because of the neatness of the place.

    I really wanted to like The Table…read more The space itself is absolutely beautiful -- one of the best dining rooms in Springfield -- and it feels like the kind of place that should deliver a more elevated, full-service experience. That's part of what made the counter-service model feel a little out of sync with the atmosphere. We first tried visiting as a group of about 12 on a Saturday around 7 PM. I had called ahead and was told they don't take reservations, so we planned accordingly. When we arrived, we were told there wasn't any way to accommodate our group together -- not even the option to wait for space to open up -- so we ended up going elsewhere. I did come back later with a smaller group for lunch. The experience was better logistically, but still a bit disjointed. The menu felt somewhat scattered, and while we were able to find seating at a communal table, the overall flow felt a bit chaotic. After ordering at the counter, the wait for food was quite long -- around 45 minutes or more -- which gave us plenty of time to observe how things were running. Toward the end, I noticed tables being marked as unavailable/reserved, which made me wonder why a similar approach couldn't have worked for larger groups earlier. When the food arrived, it was good -- nothing wrong with it -- but not especially memorable, especially considering the wait and price point. There's a lot to like here, especially the space and overall concept, but the execution didn't quite match the expectations for me. I do think with some adjustments to service flow and consistency, this could be a much stronger experience.

    LOUD AF on a Tuesday night with incredibly slow service…read more I like to eat in local places while we're on the road. Read about this place being historic with a beautiful bar and lovely tin ceiling. And that is all true. Walked in and could not believe how loud the single singer with an acoustic guitar was. There was a sound engineer, working a board, so he must've thought that level was OK. But you could not have a conversation at all. I was wishing for earplugs. When we first stepped in, I considered just looking at the carved mahogany bar and going somewhere else. But, we figured it should be fast and we could endure the cacophony for a short time. We were so wrong about it being fast. There was only one wait staff working that night, and she was also behind the bar. When she finally moseys over to us, she admitted she had forgotten all about us. She then took our drink order, and the drinks came quickly. But then she literally never came back to take a food order. Watched her go to all the other tables, watched her clean off the bar, watched her answer a phone call for a takeout order, and then I finally went up to the bar and asked her if we could put in a food order. Once the food was ordered it came out quickly. My husband's smashburger and candied pecan salad were both really delicious. I am a sucker for a local food item whenever I see it on the menu, and I made the mistake of ordering the cashew chicken poutine. The cashew sauce had zero flavor and was just overly salty. The chicken was fried very tough. At least the cheese curds were good. But I barely ate any of it. Nothing but regret about this choice.

The inside looks like a dive bar and a basic cafe combined. Meager looking tables, chairs and booths with second rate condiments on the tables (who's ever heard of Red Gold Ketchup). The waitresses are pleasant. If you are looking to fill up on basic bar food then perhaps you will enjoy and be the type to give a 5 star rating like others have. For me, it's a 2 star rating. Not the worst I've ever had but far, far from the best.

My meal, two pieces of white meat, coleslaw, mash potatoes and Texas Toast for $9.95! Large portions of delicious juicy fried chicken golden brown, buttery creamy mash potatoes with gravy from scratch and cream coleslaw with just enough sweetness. The meal was so large I ended up bringing half of my chicken home. Husband had the pork tenderloin. It was double the size of most tenderloins in most restaurants. The condiments, Red Gold has been around from the 1940's, and family owned. Information on this U.S. business is some of the portion used from purchasing Red Gold products is given to support the hungry, disaster relief and the U.S. military. The restaurant looks like it use to be a bar with a pool table at one time. There is still the divider on the bar a section for the waitresses, large mirror behind the bar on the wall, the ceiling and the old beer light towards the back lead me to believe this. We were looking for a nice looking atmosphere restaurant. We were looking for a place with good food. The staff was friendly, prices were very reasonable. These days you can't find a restaurant with great, large down home cooking for two plus drinks for under$35. We will be back, maybe for the walleye special on Wednesday.
