As a bar it appeared to be a neighborhood hangout and is probably pretty good. As a BBQ restaurant, not so good. The service was OK, she was fast and attentive. The sides (cole slaw and potato salad) were right out of food service tubs. The French fries were OK. But you come to a BBQ restaurant for what . . . BBQ. The Brisket was probably cooked days ago and kept in the refrig. The waitress said that they slice it and throw it on the flat top to heat it up. Yea, it also dries it out and gives it a hard crust. The smoke ring and taste was OK, you just had to drown it in sauce to soften it up. My wife had smoked turkey and it was exactly the same, good smoke ring, interesting taste, but dry and hard from the flat top. The only thing interesting was the sausage made out of burnt ends that was really good after I fished it out from under all the cheese sauce the drowned it with. Who puts cheese sauce on smoked sausage? Ball park franks maybe, not smoked sausage! The only reason for even two stars was the service and the sausage.

I had the Chicago Style Hot Dogs w/Freedom Fries, and my buddy went with the Pony Horseshoe (still a big portion!). Both hit the spot.

While staying in Springfield, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln built much of his life and career, I…read morehad dinner at The Globe Tavern & Restaurant, located inside the President Abraham Lincoln Springfield - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in downtown Springfield. On a Monday night, this isn't a tourist-heavy spot. The atmosphere felt very much like a working dinner environment, with nearby tables engaged in animated and colorful conversations about what sounded like upcoming Illinois legislative meetings. It gave the whole experience a unique, real-time connection to the state capital just steps away. After a heavier meal earlier in the day, I decided to go lighter and ordered the crabcake bites from the small plates section and made them my dinner. The menu is clearly set up to support that kind of choice, and pairing them with a fresh side salad turned out to be a great call. The salad was crisp, well-prepared, and a solid complement to the meal, with dressing served on the side. The crabcake bites themselves were excellent and worked well as a smaller, satisfying dinner when combined with the salad. This is a practical option if you're not looking for a full heavy entrée but still want something quality. Overall, this is a convenient and well-executed dining option right inside the hotel, especially for anyone staying nearby or doing business around the Illinois State Capitol. The combination of solid food, efficient service, and a uniquely "Springfield" atmosphere made for a very enjoyable evening. The Globe Tavern & Restaurant 701 E Adams St Springfield, IL 62701

When we arrived, the place was packed (as expected) and I went to window to pick it up & they told me to go to bar. I went to bar & finally got waited on only to be told "it would be easier if you went to the end of the bar". Easier for her maybe. After going to the end of the bar & waiting in line - again - nothing. No service, no eye contact, no help from ANYBODY. My daughter & I walked out & went to Springfield to eat & caught up with Jeep Run at next location. You would think with the 3-4 bartenders & at least 2 waitresses you could at least be acknowledged. Pretty much a chaos cluster. BTW - I use to bartend across the street from Hockey rink. We would get slammed with 200+ after every game. It can be done - smoothly
