Taylor's Old Fashioned Steakburgers-Springfield, MO



We took a trip to downtown Springfield for lunch today to Taylor's Old Fashioned Steakburgers at the corner of Kimbrough and Trafficway.  A friend recommended Taylor's to us and I must say it was worth the trip.  Taylor's has been at this location for many years, yet I had never heard of it.  Bob knew where it was, but had never eaten there.  We both ordered the regular steakburger and were not disappointed.  The steakburgers are thin and tasty, just like you would expect from an old-fashioned burger.  We both loved the burgers!  I ordered a Coke and the waitress said, "Would you like a shot of vanilla or cherry in that?"  Of course!  Loved that about this place.  Very friendly, old fashioned, burger joint atmosphere.  Taylor's reminded me of the cool diners that would have been along Route 66 back in the day.  It brings back memories of the places you might have stopped at as a child with your parents when you were traveling.  The fries and onion rings were so so.  Not bad, not the best we've had.  Overall, we were happy we took the time to visit this Springfield, MO icon.  The front of the menu mentions that business has slowed since the opening of Jordan Valley Park, just across the road.  Run on over to visit Taylor's while it is still there!  You will be glad you did!
