Plan b Springfield - Springfield

I recently visited Plan B Burger Bar near the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA, and had a fantastic time exploring their menu. I started with a Whiskey Smash—a bourbon-based cocktail served with crushed ice and mint. While the drink was well-balanced and refreshing, I only had a couple of sips. I realized alcohol just doesn’t sit right with me—it feels a bit off. That said, it’s a solid option for those who enjoy a good bourbon cocktail. I started my meal with the El Diablo burger, packed with flavorful ingredients like pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, and chipotle ranch. While the burger itself was excellent, it lacked the expected heat. Thankfully, the insanity sauce on the side added a mild cayenne pepper kick, though not nearly as fiery as the name suggests—it was mild enough that I could drink it. Still, it complemented the burger nicely. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making for a delicious side. Still feeling hungry, I decided to try the M.O.A.B. (Mother of All Burgers). This double-patty creation came stacked with cheddar cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and special sauce on a sesame seed bun. I took out the middle bun for a cleaner bite, and it turned out to be an even better decision—the flavors shone through, and it was the perfect balance of a hearty, classic burger. The ambiance of Plan B is warm and inviting, with holiday decorations adding a cheerful touch to the cozy yet lively bar area. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that my visit was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Plan B Burger Bar delivered on all fronts—delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service. Whether you’re stopping in for a bite after visiting the Hall of Fame or just looking for a solid burger spot, I highly recommend giving it a try. Don’t skip the sweet potato fries—they’re just as memorable as the burgers themselves.
