Replay Lounge — Restaurant in Springfield

I’m still trying to forget my experience at Replay Lounge—it was that bad. I went in hoping for a decent meal, but it turned out to be a total disaster. The shrimp was undercooked and slimy, to the point where I couldn’t even finish it. As for the grits and sauce? It was like thick, gloopy “puke soup”—absolutely inedible. I don’t know how anyone could get that dish wrong, but they somehow did. The salmon bites weren’t any better—they tasted like they’d been frozen for years before being fried into greasy mush. The whole meal was just a sad, flavorless mess, and I’m genuinely regretting spending my money there.

The only positives were the service and the bar—it was cute, and the staff were friendly. But honestly, that’s not enough to make up for the horrendous food. I only ended up there because my favorite jerk spot was closed, and I can’t believe I wasted $40 on this garbage. If you’re looking for good food, just save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. The staff should consider working next door, because that’s about the only place where they might stand a chance. Replay Lounge is a major letdown, and I’ll never be back.

And honestly, don’t even reach out—keep the $40 and the tip I left, and use it to invest in better ingredients or training for your kitchen. It’s a...

I have heard great things about the food here. We went on a Saturday night, not crowded inside. Sat immediately. The server was really nice, the food was AMAZING. Honestly, how good can a mozzarella stick be? It's pretty basic. But these were soooo crispy and melty! The marinara had a delicious kick. I got the burger which was cooked PERFECTLY. Very well seasoned, you can tell it's not your standard gfs patty. Fries were simple but well seasoned. Husband got the chciken and waffles, which came covered in syrup already. Maybe would have preferred to get it on the side. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the waffle was definitely made scratch. This place would be 9-10/10. The only drawback was the extremely loud music. I love to listen to loud music. It was live concert loud. I found myself wishing I had my earplugs. If they kept the music down slightly through dinner service, and up after the kitchen closes, I would 100% be back regularly. Otherwise, I might stick to take out. But dont miss this place one way or another!...

Very slow service and acted like they didn't want to be there. The food was okay, typical fried food. Ordered walleye, but they came back and said it would be a long time since they were still frozen. Ordered fried shrimp instead. My wife's order came out first, when she was done eating, mine finally came out, and then the cheese sticks she ordered as her side, came out about halfway through my meal. It takes a lot for me to not leave a good review as I give people the benefit of the doubt, as you never know what is happening behind the scenes. Someone else may have better luck, and I...
