Lindberg's Tavern

Wonderful food! Kind and attentive service. Our server offered great suggestions and shared a little about the history of the building. There is a beautiful bar in this restaurant. Note that this place transforms into a music venue at night. Looks like fun!

Quick, friendly, and so good. The pork rinds were still crackling when they came out and they were fantastic. I went to wash my hands after ordering and they were already ready by the time I sat back down. The servers were amazing. So friendly and attentive while also very down to earth and welcoming. The House Smash burger was what you dream that burgers will taste like. Not even joking, this is probably the best burger in Springfield. The hand made ketchup is unique and flavorful with tangy tomatoes blended with sage and herbs. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh flavors and amazing service.

Excellent live music performance Saturday March 1st! This place has a great atmosphere, the staff are fantastic! They have good food, drafts, (including a lovely cider with lavender).

Fun urban tavern vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. We tried all different things at the table & loved them all. The house made ketchup is AMAZING. Our server Ryan was very knowledgeable about the food & kept us happy while we were there. We are foodies, and will absolutely be back!

I'm going to give my honest review. The Bartender / manager was a really cool guy. The establishment itself has a really cool atmosphere, the textured ceilings are a nice touch and I like the location. The food: I ordered a patty melt which is a double smashburger on rye bread I believe with thousand Island dressing grilled onions and grilled mushrooms? It came with thousand island dressing on it but I won't fault them for that because I forgot to ask to have it removed. The sandwich was very delicious, and what made it better was their house made ranch dressing. I chose to get poutine as a side because I have heard of it but I've never tried it. I have to say it was very underwhelming. If it had been hot and fresh it probably would have been much better, but unfortunately it was cold and the french fries were soggy. I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to be made but I would have preferred hot, fresh and crunchy french fries. All in all the experience was good, the place was fun, the staff was friendly and the food was pricey but okay.

Had the absolute best and most wholesome dinner experience here tonight with my 6 year old son with autism and my best friend . While I used to frequent here years ago, since having my son I had been hesitant to bring him in due in part to my experiences thus far at other places with a high energy, loud, and sometimes chaotic child. Right off the bat, everyone was so accommodating and didn't bat and eye when we came in with said high energy child. In fact, they encouraged it! They told me he could play the piano I was prying him off of (worried we would get in trouble) and I think the ONLY time our sweet waitress Brittany seemed bothered; was when I kept apologizing for him- she reminded me without even saying this ; let kids be kids. Every time she could interact with him, she would, which she didn't even know- gave me a minute to eat, or finish telling a story, or just a moment to breathe without being worried that he was being too loud- and that alone , was so kind. The band members talked to him (he was so interested in drums) and they even came to tell me about their experience , and a local program in town🥹 12/10 can't say enough good things🥹

Excellent food! One of the best burgers I've ever had. Classic smash burger done very very well. The sides are also good and you get lots of choices. The service was great. Our server was very nice! The atmosphere is calming during the day too. Will definitely be going back soon.

Service was friendly. Atmosphere was good except for the slanted stool. Fried mushrooms were not crispy. Poutine was ok, not enough cashew flavor. Burgers looked good a they passed by to other tables.

A nice historic pub serving decent pub food. Our smash burger and turkey sandwich were good. The fries were truly outstanding. Service was friendly but somewhat inattentive once the food was delivered. The beer selection was somewhat disappointing.

One of the best restaurants in Springfield. Great environment. Great service and best food

The food, the service, the drinks and the location! Had the Lindbergh's lemonade and OMG! It goes down so smoothly and the flavors are light and refreshing! We had the prime rib sandwich with fries and it was amazing! The prime rib was so tender and the sauce delicious. They sprinkled a little Parmesan over the fries and they were the perfect crisp! For dessert we tried the pecan pie bread pudding, which was so amazing and delicious! I will absolutely be returning!

Great experience! The bar seating was comfortable and service was great. Our burgers were absolutely delicious. My husband still hasn't shut up about the Dubliner and how good it was. We got the bread pudding to go--maybe we should've eaten it there while it was hot, but it was a bit disappointing. Worth noting, check their event schedule on Facebook before going. They often have bands with a cover charge.

This place a fantastic always. You can order up anything....and it will very good to fantastic! Whomever they have cooking and creating the menu items - major kudos and hats off (to them)!!

Nice place to visit on Commercial St. Food was good. We had the turkey club and patty melt. Both tasted great and as another review said the fries are great. I wasn't a fan of the fresh made ketchup but others may enjoy it. Service was pretty good considering there was only one person handling the entire place it wasn't super busy but the server had to hustle to keep on top of everything.

Great vibe, drinks and food! The manager was behind the bar and was a joy to talk to. We were traveling through and found this place on Yelp. Definitely will be back.

Stopped in for a quick bite. Awesome place. Food and service was outstanding. Burger was to die for. The live music was a bonus.

I would actually give it a 3.5. The vibe is cool - old place with eclectic decor. Tunes playing, but not overly loud. We were seated right away on a Friday afternoon. I really liked my beer battered shrimp tacos! The fries that came with them were okay. My husband did not enjoy his Cuban sandwich. He said the mustard and picked were the only flavor and the pork belly and smoked pulled pork were flavorless. Our service was lackadaisical.

The double smash burger was fine, but the real star of the show was the poutine. If you've never had this Canadian dish before, you need to try it here. It's literally French fries covered in gravy + plus meat for an extra cost (totally worth it)! The pecan bread pudding was not what I expected, huge and cooked with generous servings of bourbon sauce on the side. You can not eat that dessert alone!! I got here at 11:00 and had the beautiful patio nearly all to myself. **Update** I came back around 4:00 PM and got the crab rangoon dip and lobster grilled cheese sandwich. The lobster sandwich is listed as "market price" on the menu. As of today (August 2023), it is $19. If you don't like a lot cream cheese, this sandwich is probably not your thing. The green fried tomatoes that I substituted on the side could also have used more seasoning. The crab rangoon was tasty, but the normal, cheaper, pre-made ones at Chinese restaurants have better crust. I still contend place should be known for their poutine topped with meat -- not necessarily the lobster grilled cheese. Try it for yourself!

Small venue with lots of character. The bar looks amazing. Food is above par for bar food. The poutine was spot on. Live music as well. Friendly quick service.

Very good brunch menu. Eclectic. Will definitely be there again soon. It's also got a lot of history to the building!

I was staying overnight in Springfield and was looking for a spot to grab dinner. Of course I turned to Yelp and Lindbergs Tavern popped up. It's located in the historic area of Springfield. Lindberghs isn't much to look at--more bar than restaurant. While the bar wasn't hopping on a Sunday evening, the patio and food were buzzing. I opted for the turkey club and fries. The turkey club was served warm and was incredibly delicious. The portions were large--more than I could finish. And the price was incredibly reasonable. The only reason I Lindberghs four stars instead of five was because of service. I'm not sure if they typically have servers in addition to the bartenders, but these two were definitely overwhelmed.

My girlfriend and I decided to go to Lindberg's Tavern for the first time we were really excited but out server macy completely forgot to put our food order in and we waited outside for 30 minutes. we will not be coming back

Fun atmosphere with fun story. Good selection of tap beers and the menu was better than most bar food. We came for lunch but it looks like a fun place for the live band scene. I'm the historic "C" street area there is lots to se in the area. Service was great. The waitstaff and bartender were friendly and efficient. Come for the fun have a beer and eat some delicious food.

Take Your Wife to a House of Ill Repute! Legend has it that "Lindbergs" was a house of ill repute during the 19 Century. Looking around at the very impressive wood work from that time I did accept the truth of that legend. But it did appear that we were a bit late for any activities that would be considered "ill repute." Being in Springfield for an event at the Fairgrounds that included a large number of campers restaurant capacity did appear strained, and rightly so. That led us off the beaten track to this retro place is an historic neighborhood. That neighborhood was covered with nostalgic themed businesses usually found in the oldest area of a city. No signs on the Interstate Highway, but positive reviews on Social Media. So it sounded like an enjoyable place for an early Friday happy hour / dinner. Finding a street parking spot near the front door is always a good sign, and I did get the idea that street parking should usually be available. Yes, the interior did evoke images of those old days, but the service and menu brought us back to recent times. Considering it was a Friday happy hour, and that almost every table was full, we were able to catch a roomy round table near the bar and the front door. One of the bartenders appeared soon to take our orders and was friendly and helpful. Looking for something not too heavy, but still satisfying, I choose their bacon wrapped hot wings. I had never seen those any place and now wonder why they are not more popular! The remainder of the menu was a combination of contemporary and traditional, and at reasonable prices. Overall, service and food was very good considering the Friday happy hour / early dinner crowd that filled every seat. So should you be looking for an enjoyable time, good food, and drink, and fun surroundings while in Springfield, Missouri, Lindbergs Tavern should be at the top of your list.

This was a terrific experience! The food was really good. We had their smash burgers with Irish cheddar. The pineapple IPA was delish. The history of the bar was interesting and provided a fun ambiance and the service was just right. Would definitely go again.

I travel for work and always use my Yelp app to find the best place to eat. Finding Lindberg's Tavern is why I use Yelp. It did not disappoint. Lindberg's Tavern is not anything fancy. Just an old building and bar with great food and great service. A lot of good choices but with Ryan's input, I settled on the Dubliner plus a Yuengling to go along with. Fantastic! Thanks Ryan for being bartender and waiter! I appreciate your hard work. Definitely will come back here!

Best damn burger I have ever had. And the Bandito Rojo drink was the best!! Makes me want to move to Springfield!

This little spot has some absolutely amazing food. The lobster grilled cheese was buttery and crispy and so delicious! Tasted my friends patty melt and it was spot on! The fried green tomatoes were also a treat. We will be back.

Great food + drinks! We went in the middle of the day and it was kind of dark. It's definitely more of a nighttime bar vibe. But, the service was great and I enjoyed the lobster grilled cheese!

Great service & delicious food! Be sure to read the history of the place on the back of the menu.

Food was ok, dumpy interior. Our group had a couple different poutines and the patty melt. Dark and uninviting. Not worth coming back again.

Savory Cannoli was an absolute must. The flavor is bursting and left us more than satisfied!

Ive been here a handful of times. The food isn't bad. Basic gastropub type of stuff. I love the vibe and have seen some great shows here. I'd totally rate this 4-5 stars but the bartender I had each time I went there gave off a horrible vibe. Seemed like someone pissed in his cornflakes every time I eat ordered a drink. I realized recently that I haven't been back and it's solely because of that bartender. Dude needs to find the light.

Last minute stop passing through town and was a terrific find. Staff was friendly and helpful. Smash burger rivals any smash burger I've ever had...freaking delicious. Fries were hot, crispy and salty...just like my gf. Cool alternative rock/metal vibe with a stage. Probably a great spot to see some live music? Will remember this spot and return.

Food is always good with a decent selection of rotating beers. Old world classic bar atmosphere.

Phenomenal burgers and condiments! In a great historical building. Fantastic food. Everything on the menu actually.

Very disappointing that you changed your home cut French fries The battered fries just aren't that good especially when you serve with your homemade ketchup Switch back please

One of the better burgers around, but what I really enjoy are the Sunday brunch specials they post on Facebook every week. The ambience could be improved, but the food is delicious.

My realtor suggested this place as I am getting a house in Springfield but needed some suggestions on places to eat. I have already discovered that in this town not a lot of people are posting reviews on Yelp, but we will change that shortly. Walking into this place I knew I was going to like it as soon as I saw a huge picture of Tom Waits on the wall. This building used to be a brothel back in the day, and images of gunslingers getting irritated when they were accidentally bumped at the bar back and random gunfights breaking out over card games are to easy to picture. Because of Covid, open mic nights have been cancelled, so it makes for a nice relatively quiet place to eat during the week. The feel of the place is hipster dingy, with gourmet food that was out of this world! My wife loves poutine but it's hard to get in AZ. This place had her covered though and she said it was amazing. I had a burger, hold the duck fat, as I am just not that brave, and it was not too shabby. Their home made ketchup had a nice zip to it for the fries. The service was great, and so I will call this probably the best place I have eaten at in Springfield so far on this trip.

Lindbergs Tavern in Springfield, MO, stood out with its welcoming vibe and delicious food. The friendly service made it a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal. I wholeheartedly recommend!

We had dinner last week and both had the most awesome burgers! I had the jalepeno burger and my girlfriend had the bbq burger. It was our first time in this establishment and it did not disappoint. Also, our lemon drops were made from fresh squeezed lemons and were excellent. Cool vibe too!

Quick service, good food. Cool old bar area, clearly a music venue. We were passing through and needed a good meal. Fried green tomatoes were delicious. Both of our sandwiches were large and tasty.

First trip to Lindbergs and wasn't disappointed. Friendly and attentive staff was an A+. As for the eats, The Dubliner burger was excellent. The smash burger and corned beef on it didn't get lost in the toppings and it had the perfect bun-to-beef ratio IMO. It was so good I wanted seconds! House made ketchup with the fries was tasty as well. The flavoring was like that of a sweet ketchup and pizza sauce mashup. Queen City Dip was yum as well. The bread pudding was served piping hot and moist. Indulgent yet not overly sweet. All items were washed down with cold IPAs. When I'm in the area again I will definitely visit again.

The food never disappoints. But I've been several times and the staff is ALWAYS rude. I went recently and one of the bartenders slammed things around, cursed under her breath and bitched about being busy. When I asked for a refill she shoved it in my hands and refused to acknowledge that I said thank you. The other bartender asked if we wanted our app before or with our food, and I answered him. I guess he didn't hear me because he asked me again in a pissy tone. Only one of the three was decent. I won't go back, but not that it matters since being a dick is apparently the aesthetic of their staff.

First time visiting Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere, food and service. The fried mushrooms are a must.

Such a cool little hidden gem drinks are so good. Food is beyond expectations. Love the little outside area. Sundays specials are fun and different with so much taste !!

I think I may be influenced by the shock I experienced over this old Northside bar's evolution into an "eclectic dive" bar & restaurant. Lindberg's Tavern is now bona fide as one of Springfield's few remaining classic gems. We visited for lunch , greeted by a reserved yet genuinely friendly staff. Our waitress was attentive without being bothersome, taking care of every need without hovering or interrupting. The service was absolutely seamless and perfect. We were delighted by their unique menu & specials. I had a hankering for their Lobster Cheese Sandwich at market prices but was swayed by the Turkey Club. My wife was smitten by the Fried Shrimp Tacos. We also ordered libations, hers the margarita & mine the "Lemonade", a refreshing blend of light lemonade with the perfect amount of cucumber vodka. Both were light and refreshing...a great compliment to our meals. Their French fries are some of the best I've ever eaten, bar none: light, crusty & delicious. My wife's had a unique sauce on hers...again, delicious (as I snagged a few). While the bar is dark, they do have an adjoining patio for outdoor, yet street-side dining and imbibing. They do have a stage for live entertainment which is pronounced but not obtrusive. We may float up some weekend for the right low-key performer or music. If you haven't visited Lindberg's Tavern then you're missing some of Springfield's hidden history. And if you have in the distant past, come witness its elevated rejuvenation...

All I can say is incredible food! But my favorite thing on the menu is their bread pudding!!!!! OMG if I had a dollar for every time I have ordered this bread pudding to go....let's just stop right there it is so amazing. I will personally refund your money if you don't like it. just go there eat anything on the menu and save room for some bread pudding, end of story! And enjoy some great music while you're there! By the way, service is excellent, although they do get busy at times!

Classic and very cool. I'm in always. Great band the night we went. Food was very good too. I love the bar. Oldest one in Springfield This place is a must. Only negative is we need one on south side. Decorated for Halloween now!

LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE?! Say less. The vibes were immaculate, excellent service & some of the best food in springfield! Will definitely be back.

Lindbergs is a great classic spot in Springfield. Apparently it is the oldest bar in Springfield, so at least it has that legacy going for it. I've always consistently had the Lindberg burger (the one cooked in duck fat, with house-made mayo and house-made Ketchup)...delicious! However, on this go around, I decided to try something different and I'm glad I did. We had a big group, and the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating. Some in our group ordered drinks and the staff was prompt with refills. A couple ordered appetizers. I didn't try any apps, but everyone else said they were great. I decided to go with the beer battered shrimp tacos. (I've been on the lookout for the best Cali fish tacos in Springfield, so this had got to be close). The tacos were flour tortillas, cabbage and a special sauce. Sounds Cali style to me! The tacos were AMAZING. I'm actually tempted to come back and see if they have any fried fish I could swap out the shrimp with. They also had the same yummy sauce and cheese drizzled over the fries that were on the tacos. Superb. Others in the group ordered salad, burgers, and the lobster grilled cheese. I tried a bite of the lobster grilled cheese, and oh my. So good! They even put melted cheese on the outside of the bread. This place has some serious eats. It's in a cool part of town (Historic C-Street). Has a neat atmosphere, with outside seating, live music (at times). They even do lunch. I totally recommend Lindbergs for an authentic experience.

Not much was open late in town, and I did not want to rush. This neighborhood feel like it is in a revival stage, with lots of young entrepreneurs opening businesses. This place has a great vibe, a long, beautiful bar and lots of art. I got a seat at one of the high tops. Had a glass of wine and ordered fish tacos. I know I was hungry after a day of traveling, but DAMN were those tacos terrific!! The chef/owner stopped by to see if I was happy with my food - with my mouth full, I said "So good!!" He thought I said "No good" and looked devastated...I quickly clarified and he was very pleased. Service was lovely and it was very reasonably priced. Thanks for feeding me well!!

My friends and I got to Lindberg's Tavern a little before noon on Sunday--15 minutes before they opened for brunch. There was already a line of maybe 20 other people, which was a good sign of the place being extra legit. We took a spot outside because it was gorgeous out. We were one of the only tables out there, though, so we weren't getting too much attention and the only "issue" was that we ran out of water like right away. Otherwise, we had plenty of entertainment with our group and tasty food to keep us occupied, so it was fine for us. I got the vegan Mushroom Po Boy with fries. It was one of my favorite sandwiches I had while visiting Springfield. It was a nice savory lunch item and not too heavy. The fried mushrooms were fantastic albeit slightly greasy, but the bread the sandwich was on--AMAZING! My friend who got the Ham & Jam (also pictured) devoured it's perfectly balanced sweet and savory deliciousness pretty quickly. Another friend got and enjoyed the curry that was on special and also had good things to say--so basically you can't go wrong. By the time we left, the place still wasn't full, per se, but there were a lot of people and not a lot of wait or kitchen staff, so the earlier you get in, the earlier you can order and get your food.

Amazing food- pork tacos with fries, Cuban sandwich, grilled cheese & BLT. - are all excellent! The drinks all refreshing! The staff were so accommodating & friendly. Totally great find!

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff, yummy smash burgers! We really enjoyed our visit passing through Springfield.

Got an order to go and loved it! I got the rueben but would like to try many items on their menu. The staff was helpful in getting everything packed to go, it did take a little bit longer to get the food but probably because it was made fresh.

Okay, Just for history you may want to visit here once. But one and done for me anyway. Was so dark inside wasn't forsure they had power, and I know it's old but, can we get rid of the old library smells? Anywho, they did introduce my to Mother's Colbra ( even if they made it generic serving it to me in a old plastic blue moon cup).
