The food was good - had the lobster tacos and they were fresh and flavorful. What I didn't like was the fact that they add a 10% surcharge for using a credit card plus they charged 15% sales tax. I can understand the surcharge and their right to add it - but I think they should tell customers in advance. I also question the 15% sales tax on a food truck - seems excessive plus I didn't get a printed receipt nor was I offered one. He tried to show me on his iPad and said the information went away and if I didn't like it I could eat somewhere else.

What a blessing! I was looking for a quick gluten free snack and searched online. WOW! It was worth it in every way to order food here. Interesting, unique, full of flavor and the staff was SUPER! They were not only knowledgeable about GF needs, but just before closing went out of their way to make me specific and special requests. The portion was great -I couldn't even finish all my food! The price was fair. Great restaurant!!

Paid $30 for two bland, cardboard chicken tacos. $2.50 alone for a solo cup of soda with no free refills. Presentation of food 0/10. Customer service was awful… the plants that were getting watered were clearly more important than us and the barely edible food we waited over 15 minutes for.

Walked in to the kindest people. We had a nice time dining there. Friendly folks and the food was excellent!!! I had lobster nachos the were amazing. My wife had a cheeseburger and fries and loved it. I will go back if I’m ever in the area again!!!

Simply delectable. A downtown Springfield GEM. The freshness, the flavor, the passion of the person cooking were all contributions to this amazing food. The Komodo Dragon Burger, from the quality meat to the flavorful bacon to the sauce was uncompassing joy for my taste buds. Lobster Tacos, fresh with large chunks of delicious lobster...no stinginess.The critiques I can make: Would have enjoyed a salsa with the chips, gosh I know it would be incredible. Next, the beautiful lady at the counter was pleasant yet had a distant vibe that made me feel not welcome. To be fair, she was eating dinner and we came in right before closing on a Sunday. The cook on the other hand, completely positive energy and went above and beyond that to make us feel welcomed. ?I will refer friends and come back.

There just so happened to be a spot out front, and the wife has been telling me about the sandwich she got from their food truck that had bacon with cream cheese and jalapeños. She ended up getting the same sandwich, and I sprung for the sweet and spicy wings. We both also got the fries with parmesan. I tried a bite of her sandwich, and it was okay. We asked for crispy fries and wings, but they didn't come out that way. My wings were okay as well nothing amazing though. The fries were a bit soggy and flavorless even with the cheese... I hate leaving this review too because the owner was extremely nice, and the business a bit eclectic! The truth is this is "bar food." The greasy stuff you want when you have a buzz or are drinking craft beers. It's nothing I would go out of my way to get, but I'd definitely walk over to their food truck and grab something if it was parked in front of a brewery. My suggestion would be to dump the brick and mortar, and focus on the truck. Hitting breweries and events.

Great flavor!! We got boneless wing bbq and buffalo! It was so yummy! I also really enjoyed the chicken tacos! The atmosphere is fun and colorful! The menu is great for people with dietary restrictions- such as vegetarian and gluten-free! We will definitely be back!

Such a gem downtown. First time visitor, I ordered the lobster tacos. The taste is fresh, and bright and savory while also being gluten free- such a win. The difference is in the details and I will definitely be returning for more soon!
First time visiting this place. I was quite disappointed because of how much I paid for my meal. $15 plus a tip. I got the bearded dragon sandwich and a churro. And the churro, was fantastic. But the sandwich, not so much. My fries weren't cooked well and the sandwich itself was very greasy. I bet other things on the menu are great and I definitely do recommend trying this place. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get to know the ins and outs of cooking, so maybe it just wasnt a great night for the cook. just wish it was a little better because My bread is like sopping with oil or butter or whatever it is. The taste is there. Just too much oil. It was not an unhealthy meal I enjoyed.

This restaurant is phenomenal, everything I've gotten from here has been worth every penny and they are extremely accommodating with food allergies. I have celiac disease and cant eat gluten, and this is one of the few places i can eat at and not worry if it's going to effect me later because they're up front about what is gluten free and what isn't

10/10 food. The quality of the meat is excellent! The service from everyone was excellent. The place is crazy clean. Literally cannot complain at all about this restaurant.

So excited to have found this spot in Springfield! We will definitely be coming back here again. My husband and I both have gluten allergies and they were awesome about preparing our food in a separate fryer to avoid cross contamination. We tried the chameleon tacos, honey garlic wings & the rosemary garlic fries and loved it all! Definitely recommend this spot!

Woke up this New Year's Day in Dayton OH and hella craving the Komodo Dragon! While visiting, I had lunch here based on my niece's love for the place. The Komodo Dragon is THE BEST burger I've ever had, like EVER. I got to try a few of my sister's Lobster Nachos, amazing flavors! I can't wait for my next visit to Springfield to come back and try other items on the menu. The food is amazing, hella friendly and helpful staff. I hope these guys have an amazing New Year and much success!
