1. Village Pottery Cafe
Overall Ratings
5 based on 71 reviews
We are a family owned, paint-your- own pottery studio and cafe. Make no mistake, we are not just your grandmas favorite tea room. We have kid and husband approved menu choices. The food we cook our customers is prepared with the same care as if they are guests in our home. We serve only fresh, homemade, high quality food, with love from our very own staff. The only freezer we use is for ice. Our produce is locally purchased, when available, almost daily. Come try us and taste the Village difference.

Great lunch with my father. Stopped here before and love the homemade food and cakes! Also while you wait, pick a pottery piece, paint it yourself and pick it up later!! We hade half sandwich/soup with a side, and two pieces of cake to go!!!

I don't understand how ice cream can take over 20 minutes to create for two or three cars in a row. The drive-thru experience at this location is truly awful.

I love that Republic has its own little coffee shop. Their unique menu offerings are rivaled by none!

This location always seems to be out of stock on the items that we request. They aren't usually keen on the new menu offerings, even if they have a sign advertising it displayed.
5. Heady BBQ Company
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By roadmap2 - Harrison, Arkansas
Heady s is located in the middle of a strip mall with other restaurants on either side of the mall. Heady is the best choice for BBQ in the area. Waitress was very nice and the service was fantastic. My wife ordered the brisket which was moist and the portion was much larger than most places. I ordered the two meat platter, which was also generous in size. Both platters came with 2 sides with plenty to choose from. Once the order was put in we had the meal on the table within 10 minutes. The two meat platter was under $11 which was very reasonable. There is something here for everyone as they have sandwiches, ribs, seafood and drinks. Will be back again.
6. Rocco's Italian Kitchen

Reviewed By Dave11974 - Springfield, Missouri
Right along Highway 60, Rocco's offers a comfy Italian setting (nice art on the walls) where you can enjoy some well-prepared and well-seasoned food. Look on the back of the menu for the daily lunch specials. Nice salads. Sometimes, at least, complimentary soup, which is delicious.

Delicious cheeseburger, good service, clean, will definitely be going back to Bair's, either in Republic, MO or in Springfield, MO.
8. el charro Authentic Mexican

Reviewed By Alesha J
The food is very flavorful and they offer plenty of options that aren't spicy. My family is able to find what they like on the menu. Staff is very friendly and they always say hi while we're there. They have gotten much busier (great for them!) and service is quite a bit slower than it used to be. It always seems like they could use more servers than they have. The servers they have are wonderful and always running. But it seems our drinks have sat empty for longer than usual and if you don't see your server after they bring your food it's no surprise. We love their food and their servers, just wish there were more servers there.

I was in town and craving sushi so I stopped by. It had been a long time since I had eaten here. Good selection of Chinese food, some sushi but their desserts here are much better and more variety than the Springfield restaurants. They have a strawberry cake that is yummy and also soft serve ice cream. I will be back for sure!!

The staff at this Village Inn are very kind, and the manager named Shaun (Spelling?) is extremely friendly and a wonderful asset to this establishment! On Wednesday, you get free pie with your meal!
