Boones - Springfield (IL)

5 /5 Shawna Coffey Klein: Neat place for a great breakfast. I had the potato skillet. The combination of 3 kinds of potatoes makes it so good. The sweet potato with the savory chorizo sausage was a flavorful blast. I was definitely full and couldnt finish it all. My husbands omelet was very good. Hes a BnG snob so he did rate that a 3 star. He says biscuits was dry and dense but gravy was decent. Loved the option to get a bottle of champagne take our own mimosas. We would come back again

5 /5 Richard Torbett: This place has a fun atmosphere and is very close to the capital. They have a great bar. The pickled cheese curds are very tasty. I loved the bourbon glazed short ribs. We also tried the famous local dish called the horseshoe. It is a lot of food!

3 /5 Keith Torres: As a large group, service was good and steady. However, when it came to the food, it lacked flavor. I git the mac and cheese, which should not be hard to make, but apparently it was. My friend got the pork sirloin, which she described as "an overpriced chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-a." On the other hand, my other friend got the salmon which he said was great. Overall, this wasnt a bad experience, it just wasnt a great one.

1 /5 Caca de Vaca: Predatory pricing, unresponsive owner. I was charged over $25 for an impossible horseshoe and a soda water from tap for lunch. Insane price for a simple lunch. The $4 upcharge for an impossible burger substitute is ridiculous when I can pay $2.50 for an impossible patty at the store, not the wholesale price they pay. This is the charge IN ADDITION to what I would pay for the beef patty version, so they are not simply adding cost to make up for expenses, they are trying to massively increase their profit margin. Fine, I knew that beforehand, I decided I would pay it and just not come back. I ordered a soda water too. Not bottled, just a plain soda water from the bar. They charged me $3.50 for it without warning me. Most restaurants do not charge anything for a soda water. The c02 for one glass of soda water costs the restaurant $0.02 max. They are charging approximately 175x more than what they are paying and not warning customers in advance. Not cool. Sucks because the servers are generally good and the food is too, but I won’t be back. I was in a hurry to get back to work plus the lunch was with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years, so opted not to make a fuss at the time, but it didn’t sit well. I sent the owner a message through their website and explained the situation and gave him a chance to rectify as I didn’t want to jump to a negative public review. He did not respond.

1 /5 John Kelly: The food was bland, tasteless, and dry. Service was mediocre and took a long time for anything, at no point were we asked if we wanted a refill on drinks. There were 2 other tables in our areas and there server was attentive, ours was never around. The floor was clean, however that didnt stop a bunch of fruit flies from buzzing around us the whole time. If we had been at the bar near the fruit and syrups it would have been understandable. I ordered the Carolina chicken salad, and there were more croutons than chicken, my dressing was incorrect, the chicken had zero seasoning or hot Carolina sauce. Ive been here multiple times to give it another chance and generally the service is good but the food usually sucks.
