The Riverbend
2300 N Airport Blvd, Springfield, MO
Crema's Take
“This airport-adjacent spot does comfort food with genuine warmth—their breakfast sandwiches and made-to-order pizzas arrive hot and quick, backed by consistently friendly service that feels personal even in a travel setting. The experience is genuinely split between fans who appreciate the fresh, speedy execution and those frustrated by inconsistent bread quality and premium pricing, so it's best approached as a reliable grab-and-go for traditional drip coffee and light bites rather than a specialty coffee destination.”

Tasty breakfast sandwiches and pizzas. Good to go drinks and basic drip coffee. The staff are always friendly and made to order food comes quickly and served hot.
What a joke! Rip off. Microwaved ciabatta roll, bacon harder than a floor tile.
Nice and clean store, hot fresh delicious food, nice speedy customer service! I will say $12 for a 10 inch cheese pizza is a little bonkers, but maybe thats to be expected in an airport. Also, they said they would call my name when the pizza was ready, and instead a young man just stood behind the counter holding it until I looked at him, and he set it on the counter before I could walk up to confirm it was my order. But it was pretty busy, maybe he was just ready to move on to the next thing.
Food is absolutely horrible. Took 24 minutes to get a Panini. Once it came out the bread was harder than a crouton. $16 for a sandwich. I couldn't stick around and wait for them to make another sandwich.
There are two restaurants side by side next to the gates. I am not actually sure if they are owned and operated separately. The side on the left facing the counter does pizza, the right side does sandwiches. If you look at the video posted by a previous reviewer, you will see what I mean. Since I don't see a separate restaurant in Google maps, I will assume they are one unit. In this review I am reviewing the sandwich side. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich. It was ok. In terms of value and serving size, you have to remind yourself that you are in an airport and choices are limited. They can charge a lot of money for a small meal. But in terms of taste, it tastes good.
