I come to Springfield once every 4 years or so, last time I had breakfast in town was at Charlie Parkers, and it was pretty good. Â So, This seemed to be the best next thing on Yelp.
The place was half full, but we still had to wait for coffee and water (which you have to request). The server was nice enough, I tried the "HorseShoe" . Â It was awful. Â The cheese wiz or whatever that was, over powered the eggs, the hash browns, and made the toast buried under all this soggy and disgusting. Â There was some bacon in there too, that was nothing outstanding.
My wife had an omelet that was nothing special. Â Her side order of American Fries, did not come till we asked for it. When it did arrive they were good.
I would try it again, I can see why the "Horseshoe" never took off anywhere else. It was bad.
The is an old style restaurant. Â No frills. Coffee is quick to you and hot!!! Â Very busy. This is the local hang out for sure. That in my eyes is a very good thing. Servers very polite. Cash only no plastic here, but you will find an ATM next to the register so you can print your own money.
Just got the horseshoe. Wow wow wow. Toast scrambled eggs sausage sausage gravy over it all and hash browns mounded on top. Amazing for sure. $7. A must restaurant in springfield.
My grandparents have been going to DJ's for years. Perhaps 80 years. When my grandma gets there, she picks her own seat and the manager has hot coffee on her table before she even sits down. If she doesn't order enough food, the waitress brings an extra (free) sandwich, which Grandma dutifully eats.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is hot, well salted, and cheap. I always look forward to going to DJ's when we visit Springfield.
Also, horseshoes are gross no matter where you go.
Huzzah!
No, I'm not a Harlequin, I'm just a man that was satisfied by an extremely wonderful breakfast horshoes with bacon.
They were even awesome enough to let me have half covered with cheese sauce and half with gravy. Oh, man. People love coming here after church on Sunday (it gets really packed). In my opinion, I think they should eat here first, then go to church... cus this food is sinfully delicious.
The staff is very, very friendly. I am really glad my friends took me here. However, I think I'll thank them by forwarding them the bill for my gym membership. It couldn't have been healthy to eat that much of a good thing. I have no regrets.
Cash only.
If I can get up early enough when I'm visiting in Springfield and if we can actually get a table, this is hands down my favorite place to get breakfast in Springfield.
Friendly waitresses, good coffee, great breakfasts, totally cheap. Â These qualities alone set it above all other diners in Springfield.
That being said, there are two words to explain why I'm giving this humble diner 5 stars - "Breakfast Horseshoe."
Yeah, don't ask questions, order it and thank me later.
