Five Guys!

There aren't words for how excited I am that there's a Five Guys in Springfield now! I have an actual list of favorite restaurants from my travels, and anytime one opens up nearby, I'm there. While I'm not realistically expecting a Saigon Flavors (Orlando) or Mother's Bistro (Portland) to pop up in Missouri, I'm still holding out for Wow Bao and Pei Wei. Needless to say, Five Guys has been on my list for years. Love that place. Tyler and I went to check it out, and he had his first-ever Five Guys experience. He's a fan. :) Hooray!

**Yes, I realize how ridiculous it is that I posted this directly after my post about my gluten-free future. I'll still be going to Five Guys...just bunless. Those burgers are too good.**

  1. OK, for us "out of towner's" who visit Greene County frequently (specifically the NW end around I-44 and Chestnut Expressway), where do we find this fine establishment? I have heard of them, but never eaten at one. Spill it! Please?

    1. The one we ate at is on the Glenstone side of the Battlefield Mall. They're planning another one for North Kansas Expressway, though! That'll be closer to your neck of the woods. :) Not sure when it's supposed to open. I'm not even kidding when I say we're about to head over there again right now. There's not a lot on the menu, but what they do, they do WELL. Probably my favorite place to get a burger anywhere.You'll have to let me know what you think when you try it!

  2. We eat at Cheddar's periodically. But we really like Alli's. If you want a good chicken fried chicken (and it's huge!), you can try Alli's Family Restaurant at 4525 West Chestnut Expressway. From the looks of the building, it's been around a while. We've been told that eating inside would scare you, but the food is awesome comfort food! Thanks for the info, we'll check it out next time we visit Catherine's sister, brother-in-law and our nephew!

    1. We eat at Cheddar's quite a bit! It's one of Tyler's favorites (if not his very favorite). Their dijon chicken is delicious! I've never heard of Alli's, but I'll have to check it out. We live on the west side (we're actually closer to Republic), so it's not far. :) If you ever go downtown, check out Casper's on Walnut. They're closed during the summer, and only open for lunch, but they have the best chili I've ever had anywhere. I always get the frito pie. I think it's actually the oldest restaurant in Springfield--they just celebrated 100 years in 2009.
