Einstein Bros. Bagels: A Foodie Review
With the opening of the brand spankin’ new Einstein Bros. Bagels on National across from St. John’s, we had to see what all the fuss was about. They had over 200 people standing in line opening day…that has to say something about the place, right? I checked in around 3:30 today, a Wednesday. The newly [...]
Foodie Review: Nearly Famous Deli
Nearly Famous has been the sit and relax change of pace for the sandwich eater since the late 1970s.
Houlihan’s: A Foodie Review
The St. Louis chain has highly touted fish tacos. We put them to the tastebud test … and the Southwest Chicken Wrap with an uncreative order from the TAGSgf.com staff.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe: A Foodie (drink) Review
Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers a steeply-priced, but steeply-tasty smoothie menu. The home of the “eat better, feel better” motto also offers food, but we didn’t make it that far.
Trying to find the Wayo: A Foodie Review
The official grand opening of Wayo (South Glenstone) is this week. We stopped in to see what the giant “SUSHI” sign is all about.

Little Tokyo was the first stop of the Allen and Kaitlyn SGF Lunch Tour.
Riad dinner special makes fine dining affordable: A Foodie Review
Fine dining is something that has been missed a bit in the early going of TAG. That’s mostly due to our diligence in remaining economically conscious. We broke from that for an evening and didn’t end up spending what I would consider fine dining prices. Riad tops the (short) list of Greek eateries in SGF [...]
Boomers brings a focus to troubled location: A Foodie Review
In a spot that has taken down several restaurants, Boomers puts all the attention on being able to watch the game, with a pretty (tasty, but) standard sports bar menu.
Grad School Cafe provides fire safety education: A Foodie Review
With a laid back, pseudo-Caribbean flair, Grad School Cafe offers an incredible menu, including fire-breathing dishes (if you like it hot) and the Sezna wings, a TAG fave.
Rivals televisions are relentless: A Foodie Review
They attack your vision as soon as you swing open the front door. You won’t find refuge even if you try to escape them by looking at the floor – there’s one waiting, a sniper from below. It doesn’t matter where you sit at Rivals Casual Grille, you can‘t avoid a great view of the [...]
Umi gosh, it’s time to gush: A Foodie Review
I’m sure Umi Japanese Steakhouse, Sushi Bar, and Grill does have a steakhouse and a grill, but I’ve only concerned myself with the sushi and the bar.
A Foodie Review: Pasta Express Double Dips: The $5 Lunch
Pasta Express is down to just two Springfield locations with the same recipes and a couple of options that clear the 5-dollar marker.
Headin’ to the Ranch with Cheezie’s Pizza: A Foodie Review
You probably already know about the local-owned Cheezie’s as a low-cost, high-flavor pizza joint. The single-topping varieties are always steady, but now they’re toying with Ranch, and it works.
They know it’s good and we Whole Hoggedly agree: A Foodie Review
They’re proud of their barbecue victories and why not? Town by town they’ve been taking over the south by way of smoked meat. The name isn’t funny, you can buy a sandwich or a Whole Hog.
Let’s Call It a Thai (Xpress): A Foodie Review
The rapper Slug of the underground hip hop group Atmosphere once said, “Thai is the new pizza,” and while it’s hard to completely agree (the ratio of pizza joints to Thai places in Springfield is still about 17:1, by this writer’s not-researched math), there is no denying the food genre’s rise in popularity in recent [...]
