Lime Street Café is located on the West side of Springfield in the Clocktower business plaza (right off Durkin Drive). The restaurant offers a more of an upper scale dining experience, but it has a moderate price range and is definitely suitable for casual attire. While the all brick exterior of the building is traditional and conservative, the interior design can only be described as unusual. Guitars and other musical instruments can be seen hanging from the ceiling, and several of the walls are lined with mirrors, creating an optical illusion that the restaurant is actually twice as large. The dining area is a bit small, but it is large enough to hold an ample dining crowd. Lime Street Café has a very relaxed atmosphere and it could be a nice place to enjoy a quiet dinner.
We ordered a chicken horseshoe (no hot sauce this time), and it was pretty good. The horseshoe was better than some, but it didn’t have any one aspect that could differentiate it from many of the horseshoes on the Quest. The presentation of the horseshoe was the most interesting part of this meal. The shoe was served in a skillet shaped dish and it was able to keep the horseshoe from moving around, as well as kept the horseshoe evenly balanced throughout the meal. The horseshoe was very filling and looked a lot smaller than it actually was. The cheese sauce on this shoe was pretty good overall. The cheese was more of a mix between the white and yellow styles, and it was very tasty. The meat was nothing too impressive, but it did not distract us from the overall experience. The fries were solid and were much thicker than many of the fries on the Quest. The added potato flavor really complemented the cheese sauce well and added a boost to the horseshoe.
This stop on our Quest was acceptable, but not spectacular. It was better than several horseshoes in Springfield, but it is not the best in town. If you ever find yourself at Lime Street Café and you are in the mood for a horseshoe, you will not be disappointed. With that being said, it is not a place that you should drive out of your way to try their horseshoe. I’m sure there are plenty of other wonderful items on Lime Street Café’s menu and we recommend checking out an alternative to the horseshoe.
