Speaking for the pizza... yes. However, at least the editors called out Therefore Pizza. And while it's by far not my favorite style, Pizza House has a passable tavern style pie. But, yes the city deserves (maybe? I'm hoping so) better pizza. Hang tight ;)

For me the most conspicuously bad result is the fine dining category! Neither Progress nor The Order nor Harvest are listed and those are the top 3 in town.

I saw this yesterday, and I think the most conspicuously bad results are #1 and #2 in Chinese. I really don't like those winners for Sweet Treats either. And these lists always make me feel sad about the pizza options in this town.

To me, they've best burgers are always homemade.

Outside that, Bairs has probably a couple dozen different ways they top their burgers foe some variety. If you just want to taste the meat, I'd go with w.f. Cody's on Sunshine.

For an old time dinner burger, ots a bit out of town but Kad-E-korner deli between fair grove and springdield on H (north glenstone) has a good burger and fresh cut curly fries that always hit the spot.

Not first hand but my friend lived on S Newton between Mt Vernon and Grand,she never had any issues but the abandoned house across the street did.

Lindbergs, for sure

Galloway Grill has always had a solid burger.

Reds or Lindberg's

If you're looking for a new everyday burger, I've got nothing for you. If you're cool to pay $19+ for a burger (maybe once?) Progress' burger should satisfy. Or, The Order's $24 Wagyu Smash Burger is worth a go.

Cafe B-29 in Ozark

Did they serve up a big block of cheese after? Cause I would totally run a race like that.

My text for this post since links can't add text: A skewed vision and report of the food scene in the city to be sure, but perhaps worthy of discussion/bitching/mockery/sharing/etc...

Lindbergs, Dugout, and even though it’s vegan, Jake’s Vegan Burger at Boskys Grill is surprisingly fucking incredible.

There's an enormous cheese factory at Jerome, Idaho that produces millions of lb of cheese every year. Like 200 million lb.

I’ve not experienced a great one in town. If you like smash burger style, try Lindbergh’s. Otherwise, try WF Cody’s.

The plan moving forward is to open the tunnel from hotel of terror east all the way to water street.

I really love this area. Yes there are homeless going through garbage sometimes but for me personally the only thing that bothers me is in the spring some negligent fuckers let dogs run free. My dog is old and I hate the idea of her being hurt. Other than a few random issues it's fine. The crime is way overblown by some people.

Like everything in Springfield, it literally is block by block. I live on Fort by Walnut and the most problems we have are people talking loudly. We have several families that have bought homes as well as some remodels going on. My street is doing well, but go two blocks over and there's a lot of crime. There's also a trap house diagonal to me but so far it's just been entertaining. I feel like I have more of a community and feel looked out for more here than the 20 years my mom's been in her neighborhood (she still doesn't know her neighbor's names).

I'm pretty out of date (10+ years) but I always looked forward to Thursdays at St George's BBQ for fried chicken.

Thats what happens when the owner commits over a million dollars worth of PPP loan fraud!!!

I live in an apartment building here, so very likely a different experience. But at least from outside noises and such, it's quieter than when I used to live around Glenstone and Cherry.

What part of west central are you talking about bc one street can be bad vs another?

I love west central. If you stay to yourself and don’t let heads get to you then you will be ok. People are usually very nice.
