Food Service Ambiance Great late night spot to enjoy a meal that will blow your socks off! It's an actual truck stop that serves amazing food at awesome prices! Jill is a great waitress who is very attentive, and fun to interact with! I'll be back!

Talk about a packed house and even though every table was filled, service was impeccable! Our waiter was nice, food came out quick, and there was even a designated coffee runner. I appreciated that the menu lists how many pieces come in each appetizer- something more restaurants should do! The chicken and waffles is chicken tenders even though the menu pictures southern friend chicken, but the waiter did let me know prior to putting the order in. The waffle was very airy, not a lot of dough. So as a whole, felt cheated out of the price of the food, but otherwise a great place!

We were visiting Springfield, Illinois, and looking for a good place for dinner. Star 66 Café had an excellent rating and a very extensive menu. It is attached to a gas station, but don't let that dissuade you. This 24-hour restaurant is cozy, and the setting is very much diner style. There is also a big dessert case filled with homemade pies and other tasty items right up front when you enter the restaurant. We showed up around 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday; the place was packed! Service was quick and helpful. Our food came out quickly and was hot and extremely flavorful. We had a fried chicken plate, chicken parmesan, fried catfish, and a club sandwich. A slice of banana cream pie was phenomenal! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, well prepared food at a reasonable price.

So much food! I usually ask for a special concoction of hash browns topped with scrambled eggs smothered in sausage gravy and sprinkled with cheese. IT WAS ON THE MENU!! My new favorite place! M had French toast. Coffee was good as was the service. Good choice.

5 star greasy spoon breakfast. Quick service and quality food. Appropriately run down but clean.

Whole in the wall gas station restaurant with delicious food! Greek Skillet with added veggies and sub with hash brown instead. It's overly greasy though, so my only tip is to go easy on the grease and salt! Otherwise, very delicious. Great find! Best breakfast place in Springfield if you ignore the hole in the wall and gas station restaurant part lol Open 24 h and serving all meals 24 h. I definitely recommend this diner

#31/2023 No changes at all the little old Cafe hooked up to the truck stop still fantastic after all these years. Only few changes to the menu since I reviewed 2 years ago the giant Polish sausage sides is gone not enough people ordered it so it's only regular sausage now they don't carry the smoke sausage. They still packed the house big time especially during peak hours on the weekends be prepared to wait for a table they move them as quick as they can. It's still a place you wouldn't expect great riddles like when you drive by as you see the outside of the building but can't touch a book by its cover. They do have daily specials and a gigantic menu that has not changed. Because it's own bad Greeks and you can always tell when it's owned by greets cuz they have everything including the kitchen sink on the menus page after page LOL If you're coming for St Patrick's Day they will have corned beef and cabbage they also have it every Wednesday as a special too according to the waitress interesting. Next time I'm coming up by Springfield I might have to roll in if it's a Wednesday and get my CB &C on. And yes while it's in a truck stop it is very huge with the locals for years because of the excellent service in the great food. Today I came in and ordered some blueberry crepes didn't want any powdered sugar or whipped cream cuz blueberry was plenty on its own. They were nice light and fluffy I also opted for some sausage links everything tasted just fine I'm not changing my review it's still a five bar of stars for a long time in my opinion keep up the great work. I need to hit this place up more often it's been a while too long actually now I think about where I've been stopping on 55 down by Litchfield I need to truck my way another 40 miles up the road here.
