      I visit Boyd's every time I'm in Springfield for work. The food is so fresh, clean, seasoned, and delicious. It's the best home cooked food. Service is great and the customers come from all around. Can't wait to get back. Keep up the good work.

      Best home cooked food in the area. I've yet to get something no I didn't love here. Prices are reasonable and servings are fat!

      You cannot go wrong if you choose Boyd's the food is so good and homemade. Too many delicious sides to pick from. If you can save room for dessert. You will not be disappointed.

      I'm a first time customer of this establishment. When I first got there the signs said Open, but the doors were locked and you had to go thru drive thru and order. Not a big deal. Once I got to the front window to order the young lady was nice and professional. I told her I was a first time customer she offered menus and told me about the specials. She said they make the orders fresh so after ordering I had to go park and wait 15-20 mins. The wait was worth it! The food was delicious!!! Finally, I would have given them five stars but the cake was not on the good list. Sorry. I will be back again!!

      This is the Chicken dinner w/three sides, roll and dessert.

      I went with 5 other men and everyone enjoyed their meal and had plenty to eat. I actually had a little left over. The food was smoking hot when it hit our table. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. To top things off, I was shocked at how inexpensive it was when I paid my bill. I can see that I will be making the 1.25 hour drive sometimes to get a really good meal from this restaurant because it tastes like home cooking.

      We were celebrating our parents' 50th wedding anniversary and finding a caterer to work with us was a horrible experience. Boyd's was our 5th phone call and will, from now on, be our first. They were so professional and very nice. They came to deliver the food and set everything up for us. The food was delicious. The fried chicken and ribs were seasoned perfectly. The sweet potatoes were a huge hit for the entire party. They made the planning process easy and we were grateful I wish I could give more than 5 starts because they definitely deserve it.

      Giving Boyd's anything other than 5 stars is a joke.
      Boyd's is hands down one of the best around.
      Quality food, prepared the right way (with love), friendly staff. Small and family owned, Boyd's feels like you are dining at someone's house for the holidays. I love to sit in and overhear the older men, arguing and laughing and making fun of each other.
      The diversity that walks through the doors is amazing and I feel like unusual for Springfield. You'll see a preacher, a gangster, a government official, a grandma, and a young mom all in line. It's the best.

      Listen... Boyd's is the best bang for your buck in town. I don't understand how it's so cheap.

      Highlights include: Cajun Chicken, Fried Chicken, Gumbo, Smothered Chops, yams, greens, okra.
      And maybe the most important part of the meal...

      MUTHA EFFIN BUTTERMILK PIE.
      It's my favorite pie for 100 miles.
      It's everything I want in a pie.
      Everything. It'll cure all your ailments.
      One slice of buttermilk pie and death seems like a joke.
      I'm pretty sure Jesus comes down and helps her make it, cause there ain't no other way to explain it.

      ...and if you're worried about it being "on that side of town"...quit being racist, it's fine. No ones gonna bother you, except to refill your sweet tea.

      Nice family restaurant. Home cooking with a southern flair, friendly service and great food. Prices are reasonable and menu has a lot of options. My favorite is the fried chicken.

      Pretty good I usually find calling ahead is the better bet! Their greens are sweet just an FYI. I would have to say their breakfast is my favorite I get a double omelette and loaded hash browns with white bread.
