About me:
You never know who you’ll run into at Ebbets Field. University students, sports fans, construction workers and those negotiating big business take in food and drink at our restaurant and pub. They sit alongside your parcel package delivery guy, the Mayor, flush-faced kids fresh off the ice rink at nearby Jordan Valley Park, and old friends who drop by to sip a cold one and debate the latest breaking news. With a long and colorful history, Ebbets Field is many things to many people: a family favorite, a haven for all things sports, part of amazing memories of your “best” years.
We take great pride in our menu offerings at Ebbets, featuring Black Angus beef in all our steaks and burgers; and our pizzas, soups, sauces, chicken salad, tuna - everything from our kitchen - is homemade daily from scratch. Aside from your food, though, our philosophy at Ebbets is to try and not take things too seriously. Remember: We live in the greatest country in the world, and, for you locals, take pride we’re from the great state of Missouri!
Show Me State sports generate much enthusiasm at Ebbets Field. Rams and Chiefs games, Missouri Tiger contests, and Drury Panther and Missouri State University Bear games radiate from the multitude of big screens at Ebbets. And all things Cardinals. The Springfield Cardinals played their inaugural contest at newly sprouted Hammons Field in 2005; the local minor league affiliate took on their parent St. Louis Cardinals in a stunning filled-to-capacity exhibition game. Since, with Ebbets only a long homer away from the action at Hammons, our eatery becomes The Springfield Hot Spot for Cardinal Action. When the Cards are in town, diners and drinkers on the patio of our pub are serenaded by the ‘The Roar of the Crowd.’
No matter your reason for stopping by take note of our decor. A unique blend of local and national sports memorabilia line the walls upstairs, downstairs and in hallways of our multi-story venue. And from many a photograph beam our “celebrity” patrons and special friends. Pictured or not, the list includes Robert Low, Rex Blackwell, Orlando Merced, Kenny Chesney, Steve Dodd, Phil Vassar, Travis Mitchell, Brooks and Dunn, Adrian Young, Will Clark, Walt Jocketty, Mark Lamping, Danny Manning and a mess o’ politicians too numerous to name. Keep an eye out for Springfield Cardinal players and coaches when you’re hanging out at Ebbets, as well as up-and-comers from opposing teams. Music, too, plays a big part at our downtown Springfield home. After 10 p.m., Ebbets takes on the aura of bar and go-to night spot while still retaining a laid-back feel.

Who I'd like to meet:
No self-respecting pub thrives without history, and Ebbets is no exception. Ebbets Field the restaurant was started by sports enthusiast Nick Russo in 1981 on East Cherry Street in Springfield. Nick named his new venture after the old Ebbets Field baseball stadium in his beloved Brooklyn, New York. The ballpark housed the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1913 ‘til 1957 when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.
In 1994, Russo, too, made a move, having to relocate his eatery for Missouri State University expansion. No cross-country trip for Russo’s Ebbets Field, though, only blocks, as the eatery settled into a Craftsman-inspired abode on Walnut Street. The home was built in 1912 by a one-time mayor of our town, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many more memories of the home surround the years it housed a college fraternity.
In November of 2000, a new proprietor took over at Ebbets: Lance D. “Itchy” Reeves adds his indelible mark to the institution. A longtime fan of the Cards, with Reeves at bat, a local home for the club was born. Reeves expanded Ebbets into the sprawling compound of revelry it is today while continuing the Ebbets tradition of providing good food for good folks in comfortable surroundings. And even as all sports Missouri get the most attention at Ebbets these days, the original Ebbets Field and the Dodgers are not forgotten.
In the spirit of Ebbets, take note if stopping by:
* This is a restaurant not a ballpark - conduct yourself accordingly. Eat lots and leave outrageous tips. If there are any problems, address them to Letters to the Editor. We probably won’t do anything about it, but it’s important to keep track of these things.
* We have always respected attorneys, travelers and freeloaders.
* Please don’t feed the employees.
* We are not licensed to perform marriages or bar mitzvahs, but a priest or rabbi is within walking distance.
* In an attempt to conserve natural resources, water is available upon request or upon obvious signs of dehydration.
* No matter how long it takes, our service is fast.
* Not responsible for customers left on the premises over 30 days.
* By the way, everything is subject to change without notice.
* Open 7 days a week - except those days when we’re not.
* All menu items are available until the kitchen closes or supplies are exhausted.
* We accept Visa, Mastercard, compliments, and of course, cash.
