Restaurants near Auburn

“I was staying the weekend in Springfield with my partner and I stumbled upon this place while looking for interesting breweries. We decided to take the short trek to check it out. It was totally worth it. Bartender was fun. The few patrons were welcoming. There was a musician playing a small acoustic set that was pretty good. Overall great experience. I loved my drink (toasted marshmallow espresso tini) and my partner enjoyed his flight of beers. We wished we were staying closer because we totally would have been back.”

Our waitress was polite and courteous, and we had the opportunity to meet the new owner, who is a wonderful person. It's a great place to enjoy a great meal at a great price.”

“I just wanted to give a little shoutout to Dino at Route 66 MotorHeads Bar & Grill, Museum & Entertainment Complex. I’ve been here multiple times before without kids but this is the second time I’ve been here with my kids. The first time was a couple weeks ago when we were headed to a tournament in Chatham. The kids and I stopped for lunch before we headed there. My son has high functioning autism so he takes particular interest in classic cars. While we waited for our food he ventured outside to check out the classic cars and struck a conversation with Dino. After a bit, Dino told me how well mannered my son was and then told me son to always check to see if he was there next time we were in. My son felt like ROYALTY. Most people do not give my son the time of day because he he operates differently and struggles with social conversation. Dino didn’t care. As soon as we left my son said “WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO SEE DINO, I LOVE THIS PLACE” Fast forward to today, yet again another tournament in Jacksonville meant a surprise stop for my kids at Motorheads. My son didn’t even sit down to order his drink, he immediately looked for Dino. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there. We had the same waitress as last time and she remembered us. She told my son she would go double check to see if he was there but he wasn’t. 10 minutes later….Dino walks in with his daughter and greeted my son with excitement and told him he brought a different car this time so once he was done ordering his food he’ll show my son his SSR. My son was STOKED and so excited that he remembered him. He let my son sit in the SSR and showed him the engine and how it operates. He taught my son the ins and outs of his Vette the first time and the SSR this time. This lengthy post is just to say that Motorheads will always have a special place in our hearts because it’s the perfect place for families and they LOVE showing kids the hot rods. Specifically to Dino: Thank you for showing such special attention to a boy that just wants to learn but normally gets a cold shoulder. He’s curious and you noticed that immediately. Dino, you’re my son’s new hero and best friend (you don’t know that but you’re forced now 😂). You don’t know how much it means to me as a mom to see this for my son. We love and appreciate the hell out of you.”
