Cook's Spice Rack & Chili — Restaurant in Springfield

I tried the green chili. It was so flavorful and had protein in the cannoli beans. It's in a nice homemade chicken broth. It was not spicy but it was flavorful. We tried pork tenderloin horseshoe. It was moist and crunchy. Instead of fries we got homemade tater tots. Those are wonderful. I tried a brisket patty melt. So good delicious moist. I got half French fries and half homemade onion rings. And of course being the Springfield girl I had to have a side of the white cheese sauce. It is made with real monterey jack and real milk. Smooth wonderful texture and taste. Everything there is homemade. The owner was so nice and talked to us for quite a bit. Compared recipes. She has deep fried ribs. She has specials everyday. You can get the burnt ends of fajitas meat everyday. Large smoker in the back. Great place to go definitely...

My wife and I have been to Cook's Spice Rack before a few times and have always been pleased. The food was great and the seating area was clean and bright. I had the sausage omelet with home fries and the jalapeno toast, while the jalapeno toast was good it wasn't worth the extra dollar as I didn't taste any spiciness from the jalapeno. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, french fries with coleslaw, she said the pork was just a bit dry but still good. We certainly will be going back as you know you will get a great meal for...
