It was ok as far as food. A bit too cold for me. But ..... The band is off the charts. Really talented. Awesome. Loved it. read more

Lindberg's Tavern - Way too much fun. Love this place. - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

OK their name does say they're a tavern but I have to say their food is fantastic. My wife and I love eating there and I've had everything on the menu multiple times. Staff and service is excellent and we highly recommend that you check out Lindbergs. You won't be disappointed. read more

The turkey burger is one of the best burgers I've had, and I would say they have the best ranch dressing I've ever had as well! Their fries are also excellent. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I have been looking for a unique and friendly restaurant in the area while here for work. A couple of days ago a client recommended this establishment. I read the reviews here on Yelp and viewed the pictures. Seemed like a place worth a try. I walked through the front doors at about 6:15 p.m. looking to grab a bite to eat and a drink or two. Then I was stopped by a short emo guy. He told me there was a ten dollar cover. Really? At 6:15 pm this guy is trying to get ten bucks out of me when I'm just trying to grab dinner? He told me he would have to charge me cause the band (who I clearly wasn't there to see) was coming on at 6:30pm. Needless to say I turned and walked out. Interestingly there was a flyer on my car window advertising the restaurant and band. The flyer advertised the music starts at 7:00 pm and there would be a nine dollar cover. Mistake#1: Sorry to the owners, but having some goof that doesn't understand the restaurant business is a bad move. The business is about getting people in the door spending money on food and drinks. Then hopefully the customers returns (again & again). I can't give this type of place a second chance. Luckily there is no shortage of places to eat and drink. The emo guy actually said, "come back again sometime." Mistake #2: Who has a band start at 6:30 pm (or maybe as the flyer said 7:00 pm) and charges a cover? read more

I love Lindbergh's! This is my home away from home. I moved here from St. Louis 5 years ago and this place reminds me of a St. Louis tavern. The people are awesome and the food is amazing. If you want to hear the best low key bands that come to town or great local bands than this is the spot. The decor is eclectic, antique, warm and inviting. When bands aren't playing the background music is terrific too and it's a different vibe everytime I come in. It's one of my favorite spots in Springfield. Come to historic C street and check it out!!!! read more

A friend of mine moved back to the area and took a group of us here. It was a great experience. The inside is well kept and quality furnished. The music scene here is awesome. The first time we went here, there was a drum&bass and dub step show. These DJs were fantastic; it wasn't just some amateurs with a set of turntables. They had huge displays set up with several girls on stage that knew how to dance and would come down and mingle with the crowd. It's like there's something in the air here; everyone is always having a great time and always very friendly. I've never had a drink made poorly here, either. I love this place. I couldn't imagine going here any evening and not having a great time. Lindberg's is, in my opinion, some of the absolute best concerning Springfield's night life offerings. read more

Lindberg's Tavern - Nights @ Lindbergs - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We had heard good things about the brunch at Lindbergh's and decided to try it. Their biggest problem is that they have a line outside at noon which means as soon as they open their staff is over worked. The menu is impressive. I ordered the lobster Benedict's by the time it arrived my eggs were cold and unappetizing. The fried tomatoes were good but overall the meal was a mess. I think they need to reconsider how they open and serve. Perhaps opening at 11:30 for drinks and then taking orders at noon would be the way to go. They also did not have a bartender or busboys so their wait staff is completely overworked! read more

So glad we found this place. The service was really good and the food even better. We had the French dip and the pork belly poutine. The pork belly was cooked perfectly and the gravy was delicious. We both agreed that the French dip may have been the best we have ever eaten. read more

Great local draft beer selection. Try the blt with fried green tomatoes! The patio is really nice in the evening and they have local musicians playing shows pretty often. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is a wonderful neighborhood bar that attracts a wide range of musicians due to the support the bar offers the music community. My cousin, who lives in Minneapolis and spends 5 nights a week enjoying alternative music venues there, loves this place best in her visits here. read more

Lindberg's Tavern - Historic, longest running bar in Springfield - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Mixed review here: I love a low-key friendly local bar! Pretty awesome atmosphere; friendly service (not always efficient when busy; but that's okay). There's always live music! And the outdoor patio is a positive addition! I appreciate the kitchen, which tries to be innovative; unfortunately the food quality is hit and miss. The fried mushrooms were too greasy ( okay It's fried); french fries i got were tough, tasteless ( like chewing plastic)-- how could you mess up with fries, man? It is supposed to be the easy thing! The smoking portabella burger was a letdown-- it was way too sweet that completely buried the natural flavor of the mushrooms. The buns were dry and cold. It was such an disappointment. read more

Cool chill place with great staff and killer music. Get the hummus. And they have a great selection on tap.

The very best in live entertainment, food, and drinks! Stellar food menu, creative cocktails, ice cold beer, & red hot entertainment. Try the special! read more

Hated this place. I am a young 66 years old. I got tickets weeks before for an event that I wanted to see that was coming to Lindberg's. No where was I told that this was a standing room only event. I had to stand for 4 1/2 hours, and with all the people it was very ho and uncomfortable. No fans, no open windows, just hot. As ticket holders were arriving, the tavern was selling new tickets to people who had been at a show that had just ended before the primary act. The new ticket holders got to keep their seats while the people who had purchased their tickets weeks ago tried to find a place to sit or stand. When staff was asked why they said "sorry". They serve food, yeah, if you want to eat standing up. Glad we ate elsewhere before we came here The acoustics from the band was terrible with the tin ceilings and half the walls being tin. Sound was very distorted. The whole night was a terrible experience. The only thing that made it enjoyable was the act I came to see, including the opening act. They were first rate. I was looking forward to visiting Lindberg's and seeing the act I wanted to see. Not going to happen again. Very, very disappointed. Shame too, the music they have is very good. I rarely, if ever, write negative reviews, and I don't have a negative attitude. This just is not a comfortable environment, especially if you are an older customer. And the staff acted like they could care less. read more

Lindburgs is a great little bar with a lot of character. Touted as the oldest bar in Springfield the ornate bar brings you back in time. The food is all excellent and they make their own ketchup on site and it's great! The seasonal meat changes often and is usually great. From appetizers to burgers you will not go wrong with the menu. read more

The food was good. Our fries were very over cooked tho. I loved the atmosphere and it was fun having dinner and a show! We may just try this place again! read more

Absolutely amazing! Diverse menu and amazing atmosphere! I am there at least 5 times a week! A must if you are looking for good food and a good time! read more

My husband and I finally got around to trying this place today for lunch. What a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by Trevor who was a great waiter and bartender. I had the lobster grilled cheese. Hubby had the Frito Pie burger. Trevor gave us some beer suggestions. A nice place to relax with friends and enjoy some unusual, gourmet burgers and sandwiches. Not the typical bar food you may be used to. If you haven't been here, check it out. We will be back for sure. read more

This place has a fantastic atmosphere and the live music was great. I will go back; however, probably not to eat. The food was just above average, the starter we ordered took half an hour and came out with our food. Normally a starter is just that... a starter. read more

Lindbergs is all about the Atmosphere with a capitol A. Beautiful old pub with a gorgeous bar that I'd imagine has been there since the day the place opened. The staff is cool and great at what they do and the food is wonderful. If you're looking for great pub food, awesome atmospher, music and drinks, you gotta try them out. read more

The burgers are seared in duck fat. Ah, the Midwest is an amazing place. What a time to be alive. Get the double -- they're thin like Steak 'n Shake, but the fries are proper thick. Great music. Coming back again I'm sure. read more

Ok, so the good first: The burger and fries were excellent. I woofed down my burger in about a minute. Seasoned great and juicy. And the service was top notch. Attentive but not intrusive. Now the bad news: The bands we heard were great, I think. The problem is the sound was so loud it completely distorted the music. Granted I am not a teenager, but seriously, the volume is so loud it just sounds like an incoherent roar. I will go back for the food and service, but until I've been told an adjustment has been made on the sound, no more bands for this guy. read more

So Im writing this as a restaurant patron and not a bar patron as I think it makes a difference. Lindbergs has been on my short list since I used to work on commercial street and drove by it every day.They had gotten some good press lately and finally got in. It was a Wednesday evening and the place had only a handful of patrons.. I was fine with this as I was looking for a quiet and peaceful evening anyway.And peaceful it was, dark, quiet and cozy with comfy chairs near the stage. We ordered the poutine as my wife never passes up fries covered with gravy and they were pretty tasty. I may have had some a little better but we easily finished the large plateful. My wife had a burger which looked and tasted fresh and good.I had the special which was a beef short rib sandwich with onions and mushrooms and fries for $11.00. My sandwich was Amazing!. In fact it was one of the best things I have eaten in months in Springfield. The meat was super tender and packed with flavor. It should be a daily item. We had heard much about the bread pudding and were not disappointed. First of all it was huge, it was screaming hot and then our server poured melted butter on it.My only issue and this sounds dumb but it was so sweet we couldnt eat it all but we did try. The server explained that Linbergs had only been offering food for just over a year and that showed in the lack of server training. Things like bringing plates with apps and fresh silverware with dessert ect. However the two staff members present were very friendly and we were in a relaxed mood anyway. I look forward to going back and trying the brunch soon read more

Great staff. Ryan was friendly, efficient and helpful. We thought the fried green tomatoes and onion straws were DELICIOUS especially with the pickle relish side. The burgers were delicious, too. We enjoyed the wide selection of beers. Ryan gave us samples to help us decide on what to order. We will be back. read more

Veterans of the late-night scene will tell you there's no such thing as good bar food. When the witching hour approaches and hunger rears its ugly head, they say, you have to take what you can get - even if it doesn't necessarily appeal to your foodie instincts, or even basic humanity. "Not so fast," says Lindbergs (and, as Springfield's oldest bar with the most colorful history, it speaks with some authority). "We cook our burger patties in duck fat and offer add-ons like sautéed mushrooms or onion jam. Oh, and by the way, our fries taste like they were prepared by angels who planned on serving them to god himself." What say you in reply, other late night dining options? It matters not, for I cannot hear your pleas over the sound of me chewing this Triple Lindy. read more

Surprising (and tasty) menu choices with a subtle music atmosphere and nice array of tap beers beyond the normal lager and light beer choices. One of the best vegetarian food selections in Springfield, while still leaving an extensive carnivore menu intact. read more

Lindberg's is a unique place- they have a super awesome bar with live music which adds a cool ambience. We all had burgers and everyone really liked them and we all agreed we would go back. The salads were super fresh and very good. The cocktails were top notch as well! Definitely will be returning. read more

Let me down again. Came here with a few friends (not my wife this time) because they really wanted to try it. I was hesitant after my first experience, but I followed the crowd. We were sat right away and then.......that was it. Nobody came to take our order for food or drinks. Nada. We kept trying to get someone's attention but we were invisible. We all got up and went to Pizza House down the street. A place i feel more at home. You would even think a group that has not been helped in a smaller place like this would stand out. You would also think as our group was leaving someone would question why we were leaving 30 minutes after being sat and not ordering anything. But no. That was my last time trying and my three friends probably won't be trying this place again in the near future as well. My guess is that we are not regulars, so no skin off of their back. After trying twice I have come to conclusion that they must really not want me to eat their food. read more

This place is awesome! The burgers are great! Saw the Rainmakers and the place was packed! The wait staff were amazing through it all. The only thing I would make as a suggestion would be to have a covered patio. The seating is really tight when it's packed to the rafters with patrons. Other than that... great place! Highly recommend it! read more

Lindbergs has become our new favorite place to eat in Springfield. My husband and I don't eat meat and we both agree that they have the best veggie burger in town. The pretender, another option for veg kids, is a vegan patty with some serious flavor. I always add the onion jam for a little bit of sweetness to compliment it. We've also tried (and thoroughly enjoyed) the grilled cheese and the hummus. The fries are always crispy and tasty, and the basil tomato soup and the French onion soup are both incredible. I'm SO glad they've started doing food. We've always loved going to Lindbergs and this just makes it an even more desirable destination. read more

Lindbergs is one of my favorite places to go n Springfield!! They not only have great music but the food is amazing! I have eaten many different things on their menu and have never been disappointed. My favorites are the fried mushrooms, the burgers and the Turkey burger. The menu changes seasonally so there are new things to look forward to. Seasonal drinks are amazing and James in the kitchen always gives us an amazing culinary experience!! If you haven't yet, be sure to add Lindbergs to your list if regular places to go!! read more

Great place to hear awesome music!!! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! Heather Peterson is the best!! Great voice!

Just wanted to say it was good. The lunch was good and had the bacon wrapped wings. Little pricey but very good. Drinks were good and bartender was the only person working. Lucky to sit in a comfortable chair in front. Like to check out some music next time in town. My girlfriend said the bathroom was very small. wonder what they do when the house is packed. read more

Lovely old school bar. The staff is mega super nice. The drinks are also super affordable. They have a bingo night here that is crazy fun!

The oldest watering hole in the "Queen City." The building is gorgeous with its elaborate ceiling tiles, original bar, and stage, creating a unique experience in Springfield. The food is my favorite aspect here: poutine, burgers, and an all you can eat Pizza Rolls™ buffet. Best Bloody Mary in town! read more

We walked in on a Saturday night early and was told there was a $5 cover charge for the entertainment. Explained we wanted to sit on patio and wasn't interested in the band so we left. Manager chased us down as we were leaving and asked us to come back and sit on the patio with no cover charge. That was enough but then the service and the food! Holy cow! Outstanding! Please patronize this customer friendly establishment! read more

We have been regulars at Lindbergs for the past 25 years. Great bands, great service. The atmosphere is unique in its nostalgia. The food is amazing. Highly recommend this place. read more

To be fair to Lindbergs, my first experience here was on a Tuesday night. So take my review with a grain of salt. The atmosphere was welcoming, while yet a dive bar obviously rich in history. I could see the potential to have a great time here with friends watching a live band. However, I ordered a Shiner Bock from the rather timid bartender only to find my brew slightly cooler than room temperature. The real disappointment was when my order of wings appeared. Now I must admit I am a firm believer in "anything wrapped in bacon taste better," but the combination with a buffalo chicken wing is not a tasteful marriage. The wings were cold and undercooked. Not to mention that I felt like I kissed a distant cousin when eating a buffalo chicken wing wrapped in bacon (looks good but isn't right!). I will give Lindbergs another shot after a long cold shower. read more

Love the burgers and fries and the ketchup I could go on. I have not ha d a bad experience here ever. Would recomend.

This place is phenomenal! It is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Springfield, Missouri. My boy is on his fourth year of school in town, so he always treats Dad to a new restaurant each time I come to visit. But I can tell you where we will absolutely end up at 12 noon on Sunday, every time. Lindberg's! Their regular menu items are delicious. Their Sunday brunch specials are beyond belief. Their mimosas and Bloody Marys are to die for. And the prices are all incredibly reasonable. I can't forget the staff. Five star as well. A definite must do in Springfield, MO. read more
