used to be the best in town. I have only eated there three times. I overpaid each time and was disappointed each time. They served me a crab cake that was ball shaped and cold in the middle more

We had heard good things about this restaurant and we were eager to try it. We finally found ourselves in Springfield on a Saturday night in July and the perfect opportunity to visit the restaurant. Well it was a dissappointing experience in many ways. The restaurant felt for like "fine cafeteria dining" instead of "fine dining". Very noisy inside. Don't... more

I arrived into Springfield on a Monday afternoon and went into Maldaner's for dinner based on website reviews. When I requested a table for 1 (I travel for business) I was told that they "don't serve dinner on Mondays but I could help myself to some fried chicken and bread in the back." As a black woman I was sickened... more

We shared the crab cake app which was great and enough to share. The bread was fresh, hot, and complimented by virgin olive oil and fresh grated cheese. Our server, Whitney, gave fantastic... more

While the Tokyo of Japan restaurant was fun (because of the novelty of watching the chef prepare... more

Im gonna tell you straight up this was one of the best steaks my wife and I have ever had, period. On a trip to Springfield I inquired about resturants and the name Maldaner's came up over and over. Chef Owner: Michael and Nancy Higgins did an excellent job the night we visited. The steaks we ordered were cooked to... more

I travelled alone from Chicago to St. Louis and thought to pull off in Springfield and head into town to avoid the chains at I55. Maldaner's did not seem to appreciate my detour to support an independent. The sign on the door stated lunch served until 2:30pm; I'd arrived at 2:25 and asked if they were still serving - 'yes'.... more
