A menu you will absolutely love !! 110 mile round trip, but well worth the drive. Amazing steaks, and twice baked potato that will amaze your taste buds. French salad dressing (homemade) that is amazing also. Another great visit 1/8/23

We hadn’t been back to Fritz’s in awhile after they seemed to have a couple mediocre nights. Finally gave them another shot recently for the old reliable Channel Cat and it was great, like the old days. We discovered a couple other ideas on the...Read More

Our meals were outstanding! Steak chef salad was perfect and the vegetable pony shoe was delicious. The service was attentive and checked with us often.

Waitress helped us change tables. And due to a meeting, she waited for 2 hours to take our order. Food is always good. I usually order pork chop. Huge. This time had rare chop steak. Cooked the way I asked...rare.

The steaks are cooked to perfection, sides are nicely seasoned. Owner, Joe, is a sweetheart, and chats with customers when it's not busy. I have never had bad service, and the only time there is a wait is when they are packed to the gills.

We had the fried chicken, it was a very good pan fried chicken. We sat at the bar, service was great, and the food was very good. I can't wait to return. I don't know how I've never been here before, failure on my part.

Love this wonderful restaurant! The food is great and the service is better. We moved to Springfield in 2006 and found an ad for Fritz's in the phone book! Seems like ages ago but we have been going ever since.

Great service, always well executed food and cocktails at very reasonable prices! One of our favorites; sit in the bar area for a romantic vibe, especially if a twosome!

The service is great, they make you feel very at home. If you ever have the time go and stop by. One of the waitresses is a doll, if you ever need someone to take care of you she'd be the one to do it.
