I went to Ritz’s on Jefferson in Springfield, Illinois this past week and had a hamburger horseshoe. Ritz’s serves a classic yellow cheese shoe with crinkle cut fries. I ordered a hamburger ponyshoe and thoroughly enjoyed it. the Ritz’s shoes are similar to the Barrel Head but with a more yellow sauce.
You really just get a good yellow american flavor from their sauce. Ritz’s does everything right, all the parts are fresh and piping hot to your table. I really think that the french fries at Ritz’s are extraordinarily good, perhaps the freshest in town. You can tell your shoe hasn’t sat under a heat lamp long because they are as crispy under the cheese as the might be if they were just server on the side.
A friend who was along ordered an egg horseshoe.
In place of meat, his shoe had an egg over-easy. While Ritz’s has a pretty big breakfast horseshoe menu, he had his with cheese and fries. He said it was pretty good but I didn’t try it.

And now im hungry. I used to love parkway, but they seemed to have changed the sauce and it tastes more like powdered cheese. Because of this Ritz is definatly my first choice on the northern side of springfield for a shoe.
