Jolly Tamale: Reviews & Ratings
I always stop in for a super sancho every time I'm in Springfield! It's comfort food to me!
Food is amazing, but service with a smile is a no. I love the food, but always feel like I'm bothering the workers when I order. Service with a smile is not a priority
The food is great! Service is EXCELLENT. Been going here for years and they have always been consistently good!
I love love love Jolly Tamale!! The owners, and staff are absolutely wonderful, they provide fantastic customer service, the food is amazing and it has a cute cozy atmosphere!!! I would recommend them a million times over. I go so often that they know my order and I love that so much!!! Can't ask for anything more!
Always great food, and our stop for fish Tacos and some funnel fries.
Have to give a shout out to the crew at Jolly Tamale. No matter what kind of day I am having I can guarantee I will pull away with amazing food that is always worth the money and a much-needed laugh. Chris at the window is always friendly and normally has my order before i can tell him what i want and exactly how i want it made. The crew is always funny and friendly. I dont know how anyone can keep a smile on their face after dealing with some people they have to deal with. I have been going there for over 30 years and the food is always consistently fresh, tasty and affordable. I have never had bad service or bad attitudes from any of them!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
