Druff's — Restaurant in Springfield

After hearing several people mention Druff’s, my husband and I decided to check it out. I’m a vegan foodie, so I did my usual of checking out the menu beforehand and was pleased to see a vegan option. We went around lunch time and found a table right away. Our server brought us over waters and menus, and that’s when my husband realized that every sandwich has the type of cheese(s) listed in each of its description - except the vegan one. I told him, “It has the word ‘melt’ in the title. Surely it has cheese.” When the server came back to get our order, I asked her what kind of cheese was on the vegan patty melt. She said, “Well, it’s vegan. It doesn’t come with cheese.” I thought that was a very strange response. There’s plenty of vegan cheeses out there and was honestly surprised to find out the vegan melt had no cheese. She explained that it has a dressing that makes it cheese-like. Okay, cool. I ordered it because the other ingredients sounded promising and I wasn’t about to order a quinoa salad at a grilled cheese joint. What she didn’t tell us is that the vegan cheese dip, which we ordered as our appetizer, is the same sauce that’s on the sandwich, so by the time I got my food, it was overkill. It was pretty salty and I craved cheese the entire time I ate it. I really had high hopes with both the sandwich and the dip, but I couldn’t believe I had paid $4 for something that was already on my “vegan patty melt.” I wish the server had said something or it was noted on the items description. My husband liked his sandwich but personally, I wouldn’t come back unless they added a vegan grilled cheese. I...

let me tell you something about Druff’s. upon entering this cozy abode, you will be greeted with an aroma of buttery, golden bread and warm cheese. the gust of warmth will bring safety and comfort, shielding you from the cold outside world. the soft lighting will draw you in and allow you to hide from your fears, troubles, and possibly your tax evasion. the booths all have a slight wobble to them, the result of every patron before you having their world rocked by this oh so special of meals. the first bite of the sandwich will fulfill every hope and dream you never knew you had. the first sip of tomato soup will fill every crack in your dark, lonely heart. every bite will bring spiritual renewal and strength. after this meal i felt so invigorated, it’s comparable only to returning from a month-long pilgrimage to an Indian ashram. after eating this meal, my seasonal depression is cured. Druff’s was there for me when no one else was. they gave me the childhood i never had. my server taught my long division and how to ride a bike. i wrote my college thesis paper at the bar of, you guessed it, Druff’s. i’m going to have the line cook officiate my wedding. he isn’t even ordained, but that doesn’t matter. the only thing that matters is opening your culinary palette up and trying this most magnificent of restaurants. screw Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives; more like Druff’s, Druff’s, and Druff’s. now that would be quality television. if i was given the death penalty, my final meal would be the Jirden At Law. give me grilled cheese or...

Absolutely disgusting. This is the definition of a greasy spoon. They make nothing in house. The biscuits and gravy are terrible. A store bought biscuit, grilled in oil, and a powder mix gravy with NO sausage. The Jacoby sandwich was very oily. I took one bite and that was it. My hand was covered in oil. Not worth the heartburn that is sure to come if I did eat all of it. 1 choice of coffee and it's definitely not worth $3. The cook had to give me my to go order because the 1 waitress on duty was too busy eating her breakfast. This was at 8:30 on a Sunday. They had just opened. What a waste of $24.

If you want good food, go to Architect Coffee Co., Roots Coffee Bar or Sleepy Opossum.

Edit: This is in response to the 'owners' reply. Are you flippin serious with that reply? You don't address the fact that you are serving biscuits and gravy with absolutely NO sausage? It's listed on the menu as biscuits with SAUSAGE gravy, yet there is none. I watched the 'cook' prepare everything. If it went on the griddle, it was oil first, then whatever was going on. This is why your sandwich is laden with oil, as is...
