If you have ever wondered where Springfield’s most famous open-faced sandwich comes from, D’Arcy’s Pint is the answer a lot of locals give first. The horseshoe itself is a local invention: a base of meat, a generous heap of fries, and a blanket of cheese sauce poured over the top. Cheese Sauce Made With Real CheddarAsk around about what makes the horseshoe here stand out, and the conversation almost always lands on the cheese sauce. For anyone who has been burned by a disappointing cheese sauce before, this is the detail that turns a good sandwich into one people drive back for. The honest takeaway is to visit early, order a horseshoe, and lean into the real-cheddar cheese sauce that everyone keeps talking about.
