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’s a great place to see locals and elected officials looking to support a worthy family owned small business. The food was so good I forgot to get a pic.

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 🙂

I visited Boyd Generation Cafeteria today and had a disappointing experience from start to finish. The young lady who took my order at the drive-thru was polite and professional — she was honestly the only bright spot of the visit.
But when I got home and started going through my food, I realized something was off. I noticed what I thought was an extra dessert in a flimsy plastic container, but when I looked closer, it turned out my baked dark meat chicken was missing — the main part of my order.
I called twice. No answer. Straight to voicemail. Voicemail was full. So I drove all the way back, tried to go inside — doors locked. Got back in the drive-thru line and explained the issue.
Then the woman who I assume was the owner or head cook came to the window, and instead of addressing my concern professionally, she hit me with sarcasm and attitude — as if I was out of line for coming back for food I paid for. She insisted she personally packed the chicken and tried to make it seem like I was the problem. When I mentioned there was a container in the bag that looked like pie, she snapped that they didn’t serve sweet potato pie that day.
Eventually, she handed me what looked like a pie container and told me to open it. Sure enough, it was the chicken — but it was so dry and shriveled, no wonder I mistook it for a slice of pie. At that point, I told her flat-out: I’m never coming back.
To that woman — if you’re reading this — your behavior was unprofessional, your customer service was dismissive and hostile, and your food wasn’t even worth the trip. Mistakes happen, but instead of owning it, you doubled down with attitude and dry chicken in a dessert container.
Word of advice: stop assaulting your chicken. Inject it with something buttery, juicy, and respectful before putting it out in the world. Because nobody wants to eat food that looks and tastes like regret.
I will not be returning, and I’ll be warning others to stay far away.

They close the inside but online they always mess your order up. Either they forget to put all your food in the bag or they give u the wrong stuff. Yall need to change that either fix yall online or keep the inside open till yall close. Simple. Gravy either it’s a hit or miss. Lay off the salt somebody’s a little heavy handed

Had the pork chops and chicken, mashed potatoes n gravy, greens, Mac n cheese. Yams n Cornbread n rolls. I ordered via DD- it was like my grandma sent over a dinner plate- very delicious! Delivered hot! Food fresh and tasty! Very impressed! Will continue to order from this establishment! Cornbread was the only item that I didn’t feel was very good- I have had much better cornbread. Thanks

Great family owned restaurant in town… Food is good, hot, and delivered with a smile… Sometimes the only drawback is the occasional wait in drive thru, but that mainly happens during peak lunch hours, when everyone is trying to grab food at the same time…. I often recommend this place to others, especially those individuals that are from out of town, and are looking for a good place to eat—-

The food was superb. I will definitely be back. That was the best food that I’ve eaten out in years. All the patrons plates that were left on the table were completely empty.
