"First time in Springfield. Soulfood agenda. I ordered fish and grits and a pancake. I was not disappointed. The chef preparing my order was meticulous, paid attention to detail, and nailed it! I will be back for lunch before I leave the area."

"Delicious homemade fresh food. We stopped here in between jobs and I was highly impressed with the quality and amount of food. The prices were very fair I will definitely be coming back."

"Wow what an amazing breakfast place the food was delicious and the service from the owner was fantastic. This is a great place to start your morning! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ location!!!!"

"owner apparently decides to leave an hour and a half before the restaurant is supposed to close. Resulted in me not receiving food that I paid for online. Bad business practice. It’s 2026 and we can do better."

"Reviews like the one I’ve attached are trash. Thank you, Robert Irizarry, for submitting a garbage review for all to see with your name attached. Iona’s gives great portions at fair prices. Go see for yourself or take the word of a fool who’s never visited the establishment. Just had another awesome breakfast. Kelly, the owner, doesn’t disappoint!"
