Food and service were both great. Create a meal is an awesome deal. Very nice people!

Can't visit Springfield without stopping by Boyd's New Generation for a delicious home cooked meal. The smothered pork chops and green beans were so tender and cooked to perfection.

It gets busy for a reason!! Top level soul food, diner style atmosphere, very friendly vibe from staff. Yummmmmmm 🤩 It's a favorite when I have the time. If you don't have 45+ minutes to wait and eat there, there are some items in their hot case ready to go, so you can do take out. You can also preorder online :)
