Really wasn’t sure about this place based of hearing it’s mainly elderly people. We decided to try it for something different. I was kinda surprised when I saw all the options on the menu along with the sides available to top your steak with. Photos of menu attached. As far as the service it was great. Food was very good. I see a few return trips here as there are thi he i would like to try.

Server left us a long time before even bringing water or bread, The steaks were bloody and we asked for well done. They had to be sent back twice until we were like “that’s enough”. When we complained, we were met with an attitude and the statement “We’ve served many steaks today and no one else complained! I myself had the grilled salmon and it was salty, I’ve got high blood pressure. I was very disappointed since I’m visiting Springfield and was looking for a good meal

This is a great restaurant. Being so old, it for sure has its flair. The waiters are great, and the food is even better. Here you can get a huge variety of American food, and it is very well suitable for a nice dinner with your family. The catfish is amazing

Food had to be sent back twice. Our server basically ignored us and the atmosphere was loud and crowded, very uncomfortable experience. And one of the staff kept exchanging words with my cousin, who was the paying customer

We hadn’t been back to Fritz’s in awhile after they seemed to have a couple mediocre nights. Finally gave them another shot recently for the old reliable Channel Cat and it was great, like the old days. We discovered a couple other ideas on the menu as well, and came back again for a steak and it was very, very good. This is one of the best restaurants in Springfield, no questions asked, and those type places are drying up quickly. Very nice service, low key in there. We will be back to try the chicken and walleye.

I worked at fritzes many years ago and I was pleased to find that Joe Bart and Paula Pickle have kept fritzes running like it did under Nancy Havrilka. Whenever my guy and I eat there I get the feeling of going home. the food is great and the service is too. I look forward to going to fritzes whenever I can. in fact we are going there for dinner tonight.

My Fiancé and I were in last night for dinner and we both had the tenderloin filets and lobster, and the chicken gumbo soup. Everything was absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were here celebrating our anniversary and happened to come across your restaurant. We are so happy we did! One of the best dinners we have ever had! Thank you!
