Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in 417 Magazine and Springfield Daily Citizen. Updated September 2026.
The Order Food & Drink · Downtown
Refined Midwest cuisine in Hotel Vandivort: exposed brick, open kitchen, beautifully plated.
The Garrison at Finley Farms · Finley River
An intimate, candlelit room beneath the Ozark Mill with locally sourced plates.
Char Steakhouse and Oyster Bar · South Springfield
417 Magazine's Claire Porter covered the room's turn from Touch Restaurant and Oyster Bar into Char, and describes soft iridescent wallpaper, candlelight, intimate seating and white coat clad waitstaff. The kitchen kept standbys such as bacon wrapped dates and chicken Bijan while adding Wagyu steaks, lamb shank and whole fish dishes. 417's steak guide adds that every steak here is aged at least three weeks. Order an aged cut and the Char oysters Rockefeller.
Flame Steakhouse & Wine Bar · Downtown
417 Magazine's guide to steaks in Springfield, Branson and the Ozarks records that Flame Steakhouse has been serving steaks downtown on Walnut Street since 2004, and that its presence there has held steady over the years while other eateries came and went. The guide's case for the room rests on that longevity rather than on novelty. Order a steak and plan on a sit down dinner rather than a quick stop.
