"Seemingly untouched by COVID, a new coat of paint and a quick and attentive wait staff makes it look like they are coming through even better. The food was typical diner fare. I had a breakfast horseshoe, technically the half portion called a pony, and it was pretty tasty. I opted for scrambled eggs, sausage patty, tater tots, and both gravy and cheese for the full artery clog. My waitress was friendly and helpful having never been to Springfield before. It seems horseshoes are typical fare. It was a filing meal for the price."

Loved the breakfast. Unique place, well worth the stop though. Quality food, great prices and solid service. No doubt I'll go back. The meal hit the spot, no issues what so ever.

It looks a little sketchy outside but this is definitely a place for breakfast if you’re in-town. I really didn’t need the big horseshoe breakfast but it was great! Gravy over sausage over potatoes over eggs over toast! Wow! Worth the carbs! View menu

Excellent! Gabrielle C. took excellent care of us! Her suggestions were spot on. My fried pork-chop was sublime! The space is “classic” small town diner! Is it any wonder Guy Fieri visited Charlie Parkers on DD&D’s?? Amazing prices, amazing food, wonderful service, can’t ask for any more than that!!
Lisa
Classic diner with delicious breakfast options. Visited with friends from the area and sat in their favorite waitress 's section. She made several suggestions while customizing my breakfast 'horse shoe ' that were amazing. (Biscuit instead of toast, American fries on top) plus a pecan waffle and helping the keto friend in our group enjoy cottage cheese as a side to his omelette with tomatoes.

We were on our way through and looked up places on DDD and got here right before they closed. They were very nice and helpful even though it was super busy. I got the shoe with ham, and both sauces. They were both good but I liked the gravy more than the cheese. Even though we got it to go, it wasn’t soggy and it was too much for one sitting. I recommend on giving this place a shot if you are close. View menu

We went on a Sunday it was very busy had a twenty minute wait but we went to car as there is no place inside to sit and wait. They called us and let's know our table was ready.the waitress was very friendly even though she was busting her but i had a breakfast pony it was half cheese half biscuit gravy and bacon it was delicious and plenty I didn't get really hungry until around 5 pm we ate at around 11:30

Pulled up to this old little hanger and knew we'd be in for a treat. Parking lot was bustling, always a good sign. The warm, rich aromas of breakfast filled the air. There was no wait, and the server was friendly. They have a challenge here that if you eat 4 of the pancakes pictured, they are free. According to the waitress only 3 people have completed the challenge, which comprises of 6 lbs of batter!!! Excellent food and experience, I would definitely stop again.
