Everything about lake point grill is on point. Unique menu that offers a wide variety of delicious selections for everyone. I go there probably more than I should. My friend usually gets the same southwestern or apple jack salad. I'm all over the menu , I know I'll be back and I enjoy the nice tasty variety. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Courtney, Lisa, Jill, and Shannon are just great!
Review Source:While visiting Springfield I also checked out the Lake Pointe Grill. Â Glad I did because it was really good. Â I ordered the raspberry lemon martini to drink. Â Good, but hard to justify a $7 cocktail in Springfield when I was out drinking $1.25 Bud Light bottles the next evening at a tavern. Â Three of us shared two half salads, the Apple Jack and Asian. Â The Apple Jack was great and the Asian was beautiful to look at but could have used some salt or a more flavorful dressing. Â I found the taste kinda boring. Â For meals we shared the creole pizza and white garlic pizza. Â Both excellent! Â WAY too much food but taking home leftover pizza is not a bad thing at all. Â Will definitely go here again next visit. :)
Review Source:Lake Pointe isn't phenomenal, but it never disappoints. The pizza is thin, crispy, and good, but I prefer their entrees -- a salmon dish that comes with pasta is really good, though I can't remember the name. They have good toasted ravioli as an appetizer. My family had a special event here last year and the staff was extremely accommodating and wonderful -- and the food was good, too! It's not exactly fine dining, but you can't go wrong here. The biggest downside? Location. It's far from most of the central Springfield neighborhoods, even if you live on the west side.
Review Source:We dined here on Easter Sunday and were very pleased with our food. I am from Springfield, IL but currently live in Saint Louis, so when I come back "home", I must indulge and take a few bites of my boyfriend's horseshoe (which is typically a Corner Pub or D'Arcy's shoe). He had the Lake Pointe Grill meatloaf horseshoe from and my gosh the sauce is to-die-for! By far my favorite cheese sauce in Springfield. I had the Apple Jack salad. I planned on eating half and taking the other half home, but I did not leave with a doggy bag. I have been craving this salad ever since! Oh and the pizza is delicious, after all, they are known for their brick oven pizza. Great food, great service!!
Review Source:Well, 7 PM Monday night yet the place is packed and now I know why: full bar, relaxed atmosphere, great food. The wood oven pizzas are usually delicious and will set you back $10 -14. They also have sandwiches, salads and traditional entrees; tuna, meatloaf...all in the $16 range. My little complaint this time: ordered the margherita pizza and yes all ingredients were fresh and tasteful, yet the dough was undercooked and I just didn't appreciate how soggy it was. Free wi-fi and good service also a plus although a few misses like the waiter bringing the bill without asking if we wanted dessert. So overall a good experience but room for improvement.
Review Source:I tried out Lake Pointe again and was really impressed. I had the Philly steak with the Mac and Cheese side. The Philly steak was great and the Mac and Cheese was out of this world though! Everyone else was very satisfied except the service was a bit slow. Living nearby with that Mac and Cheese so close is going to be very tempting!
Review Source:A nice addition to South Springfield/borderline Chatham scene, which until recently seemed a little short on restaurants serving real (ie. not Taco Bell/Burger King/Subway/Wendy's) food.
Capacious and airy interior, with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the restaurant with ample natural light.
Noteworthy: the wood fired pizzas. I had the Steak and Crimini Mushroom, which was giant, unique--a nice spin on the typical meat/mushroom pizza--and mouth-wateringly delicious. My only complaint was that the juices from the pizza gathered near the hollow center of the plate, Â soaking though the dough and causing the last few pieces to become soggy.
Still, a good experience overall. Granted, I've had better outside of the city, but I would venture to say that this is the best pizza I've had in Springfield. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the area.
Oh, this place is a keeper for certain. Â What a terrific surprise!
We stopped in on a quick trip to see family in Springfield and were wowed by their wood oven baked pizzas, and awesome they were.
The pizzas are larger than individual pizzas but perfect if you wish to share, or take some home as leftovers. Â
The two I highly recommend are the Margherita (fresh tomato, basil, cheese, sauce) and the Cajun (Andouille, peppers, onions, cheese). Â Both are made with love, and have wonderful flavor. Â Loved the Margherita but there is nothing getting in between me and that Cajun pizza next time I go. Â You can keep the menu---that is the pizza for me. Â You have to try it to understand. Â Thankfully I was the recipient of kind sharing...
Their Caesar salad is also terrific, and the beers ice cold---I am told that is a Springfield thing, and if true, this place lives up to the local mandate.
The menu is extensive beyond pizzas to include fresh fish and several outstanding entrees that we enjoyed watching others enjoy. Â A very busy and obviously popular place, we recommend going early, and being patient. Â
Sidenote: Â Drop your guests at the front door and leave whoever draws the short straw with the task of parking the car. Â A large parking lot, if you go during prime time, you will see how popular this place is when you try to find an open, and legal parking place. Â Don't understand? Â You will---trust me.
I have to say the newer openings with Springfield, it can be hit or miss. Lake Pointe Grill falls somewhere in between. I walked in at around 4 and the place was empty and no one was at the hostess station. I thought they might have been closed but I heard people talking over at the bar area and peeked over, there were two staff members one eating at the end of the bar and the bartender. I decided to sit at the bar and eat. The soup of the day, Chicken florentine was quite good, chicken, artichokes, and spinach in a cream based broth. Excellence in a small cup, the marinated grilled pork chops, eh okay for 13.95-kinda pricey for Springfield. I've had better for a few bucks more but really, no complaints. Their beer selection is fairly large but all bottles, nothing on tap, it makes me wonder why. Also, they need to work out some kinks, the staff was definitely a bit amateurish, but it was quiet and I'd imagine some hijinks, just not at that level. Hard for me to take them seriously at this point in time, maybe with some polishing up it can be a place that will be good, perhaps even great.
Review Source:LPG is relatively new in SPI; on my recent trip there LPG was highly recommended. LPG is located in a strip mall, next to El Presidente Burrito, in South Springfield. Inside it is very open, with wall to ceiling windows with plenty of seating. We arrived at around 5pm and the place was getting packed. Since they have a wood burning pizza oven, we decided to give them a try. I started off with a small house salad, which was good, the highlights being the croutons and the red wine basil vinaigrette both which were really tasty. On to the pizzas- the menu claims that they are best enjoyed individually or as an appetizer between two people, so we ordered one pizza per person. Imagining that we would be served small sized pizzas, we were shocked at the pizzas that made it to our table. They had to be at least 12-14" long and were more like a meal for two people, not appetizers (maybe Midwesterners have bigger appeties?). We ordered the margherita, artichoke tomato and a "build your own" of red pepper, mushroom and spinach. The favorites were the margherita and the artichoke tomato pizzas; they were both really good. Of note though, the pizzas were slightly different than any other pizza that I've had from a wood oven- the black char and bubbling was missing; the dough was a little thicker than I'd prefer. The wine list was fair with relatively affordable prices; service was amateurish but not horrible. Compared to other pizzas I've sampled, and trust me Phoenix has some phenomenal pizza, LPG was decent and I'd 3 out of 5 considering it's in SPI.
