Home Depot. I bought a bag of nuts there and they were totally inedible. And the whole time I was trying to eat the lady behind the counter kept yelling "Oh my god, what are you doing, you can't eat those!" And then I broke a tooth on top of it. Just terrible.

Blacksheep.

Overpriced underwhelming burgers and milkshakes too messy to enjoy.

Fun fact the owners are also super transphobic. They also own char, flame and xan

This is good to know. Not normal restaurants I go to, but I meant to try flame. Now I won’t.

Black sheep used to be good when it first got rolled out but definitely regressed.

Not high priced but I say Mexican Villa

I don't get the mexican villa hate, I love it.

Wyldfire2112 t1_j27u3it wrote

People hate on it because it's not "authentic."

What they don't get is that it is authentic, it's just not authentic MEXICAN. It's authentic, old-school diner style texmex.

disturbed_beaver t1_j28omq8 wrote

The authenticity isn't my issue, it's the bland and way over dried out ground beef. The food is not prepared well at all. It's honestly lower quality than taco bell

zombiedevin t1_j2ahtcq wrote

Went there once and the ground beef was dog food quality and more expensive than taco bell which is somehow better

This. I'm not sure what type of food it is but it's not Mexican.

huscarlaxe t1_j27ruhp wrote

It's 1950's texmex mellowed to the Midwestern palette then frozen in time. It is cool for what it is.

For the win. Although to be fair, most of the modern taco places are way overpriced.

I got to go with my fiance for a company dinner and it was honestly depressing. It was obviously under construction/remodel and the whole restaurant smelled like chlorine on account of having seating/being next to the indoor pool. The calamari was chewy and the risotto was mushy, the salads were soggy. We were a table of 8 so not really even that many people. The best part of it was the pomegranate martini and even that was incredibly weak

Easily Tinga Tacos downtown. Like 10$ for 2 little tacos that aren't filled much and weren't great. Not sure how anyone justifies going there.

EngryEngineer t1_j2abc4k wrote

Missouri Mike's BBQ. The BBQ is fine, a bit dry but inoffensive, but it has to be the most expensive BBQ around. Then I gave them another shot and got the prime rib, which was one of the most mid things I've ever put in my mouth and significantly more expensive than Jimm's.

Hemingways mentioned twice, needs a total revamp, menu is all over the place

the_gone_angel t1_j295c9l wrote

Hemingway’s, Mexican Villa, Scrambler’s Diner, Ziggie’s Cafe (not over-priced, just shit), and Springfield Brewing Company. That’s all I can think of right now.

Nearly famous, it's all unseasoned microwaved garbage from sysco. I'm suprised they've been open this long

lincoln3x7 t1_j2f2t45 wrote

I disagree totally, underrated and always fresh. Last place I would think of as being a Sysco chain delivery.

The Springfield Brew Company lost my business many years ago when the server took a salad for a togo box. I was able to view it spilling on the bar counter, the he picked it up with bare hands to fill the container. We told him to keep the salad for this reason. 😞

Ka-thorny t1_j29vzt6 wrote

It's not really overpriced, but considering portion and just overall quality, Triple Eights Chinese food. The ONLY benefit from this place is the drive-through, but don't let the awards fool you the quality has gone down so much recently. Go to the Riksha or New China on N. Kansas, those are great and have good portions for your buck.

Hemingway’s. Mexican Villa. Black Sheep. That Lebanese Place is just fucking disgusting. El Charro is a joke unless you’re there for cheap margaritas. El Primos is so-so. Nakato is gross and just a shoddy show bar. Springfield Family Restaurant, if it’s still open. Bonus: Piccolo in Nixa unless you like a pound of sugar in your spaghetti sauce. Otherwise it’s alright.

loganversustheworld t1_j27i4ro wrote

…I recommend trying that Lebanese Place again. Best Mediterranean in town imo.

4DrivingWhileBlack t1_j27it1s wrote

Perhaps I will. But my wife and I are Lebanese and North African, and I’m here to tell you that unless the dude fired himself and his wife, it’s a gross caricature of what Lebanese food should be. The only thing he had going for him, last I was there, was that we could speak to each other in Arabic.

the_gone_angel t1_j2925ns wrote

Disagree. Greek Belly is better. That Lebanese Place was not good when I went there.

the_gone_angel t1_j292k37 wrote

Piccolo? Seriously? Some of your recommendations they’re gonna go to and be like “wtf this is good shit”

Agree. Piccolos is always delicious and the owners are both sweethearts.

Their tofu scramble is great, but there are a few things on their menu that I hate. Specifically the mussels.

Honestly haven’t had any mussels in town I really loved. Would love some recommendations if anyone has any.
