The drinks and wine were overpriced. Someone on TA reccomended the potato crusted grouper. I was served a piece of flavorless fish with undercooked shredded hashbrowns on top. The worst part was the small amount of "lobster sauce" served under the fish looked and tasted exactly like the lobster bisque I had as an app. The prices don't match the... more

Good tasting food in downtown Springfield. We went on a Saturday night at 7:30pm and thought it would be crowded. Not so. It was almost empty. Downtown Springfield is pretty much deserted on the weekends we came to find out from the waiter. Food was fresh and good tasting but a bit on the pricey side with dinner prices starting... more

My husband and I just returned home to the St. Louis area from having a wonderful meal at Augies with my niece and her husband. They live in Springfield and eat here frequently. I had a fantastic potato encrusted grouper and the fried cheesecake - it was all very delicious. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the lobster... more

I dined at this restaurant with 3 friends on 10/2/07. The food was delicious. What we had a problem with is the MOUSE that was running around inside the restaurant. When we brought it to the attention of our waiter who was also the manager (Carl,) he joked about it and blew us off. When I expressed that it was... more

Each of us had something different, ranging from chicken breast stuffed with sausage to tuna with wasabe mashed potatoes, scallops, and even lamb. None of us was disappointed. Prices were pretty reasonable as well; the four of... more

This was another stop on our family vacation - Saturday night dinner. The restaurant was nice and the service was decent. Most of us liked our entrees - my sister had the best score with the duck entree. But the people who had steaks or chops were underwhelmed and the risotto served as a side for a few plates was... more

I lived in Springfield for most of my life before moving out east. Augies was my favorite restaurant to go to for a gourmet meal. It has a great location downtown and parking is easy to find in the rear if you can't find a spot in front. They have an ample wine list and bar. The food is very... more
