$5 Lunch: Triple Eights | Entertainment Springfield, MO (Sports, Live ...

Triple 8s $5 Lunch: Triple Eights

To-Go General Chicken from Triple 8s


After several recommendations we decided to give the Triple Eights drive-thru a go ? 1710 S Kansas Expwy (just north of Sunshine facing Kansas Exp). Nothing on the menu starts at more than $5, and includes the standard Missouri Chinese fare (Cashew, Sweet & Sour, General, Mongolian Beef ? you get the idea). Each comes with a side of rice and two crab rangoon (which appear to have at least some real crab). Other appetizers which came highly recommended are the Cho Cho Chicken (teriyaki chicken on a stick) and the Peking dumplings (not exactly sure). I tried to order both, but was met with a call-and-response of ?it-take-10-minute? recalling scenes from ?Dude, Where?s My Car?? (We were willing to wait 10 minutes for teriyaki chicken on a stick, but it just wasn?t happening on this night. But, yes, the speaker was still standing when we left.) I ordered the General Chicken and was damn impressed. While it wasn?t hot in terms of spice (at all), the chicken was tender (not all white meat) and the sauce was delicious and not overbearing as with some gravies. Westsiders, meet your new (at least to me ? and I?m not a Westsider) staple.
