Default Sgt Pepper's Cafe in Springfield

Does anyone know anything about this place? It looks like it would be a neat place for lunch... Is it an appropriate place for kids (teens)?

Thanks!

Lunch or supper. Its a place I make sure I hit anytime I'm in Springfield. Try the horseshoe. They seem to be a local favorite. If your teens know anything about the Beatles they will love the decorations. It is quite small so if you're talking about a bus load of teens there may be better places. There is also a diner type resturant connected to the RT66 hotel, about a block away , in 6th ST. I also has a good lunch,with interesting old RT66 decor.

Thanks for the info! I'm just talking about maybe 8-10 people, but some of them are kids. I'll call for a reservation to make sure there's room!

I love the Beatles, as do some of the older adults who are joining us for the 8th grade graduation party, so this place sounds perfect!

It's ok for kids.....it's just a restaurant and in a good neighborhood. I don't care much for their food but others do. The horseshoe is a Springfield creation.....but if you want a great horseshoe, go to Darcy's Pint or Dublin Pub .... both places serve beer though but people take their kids to both places.

Charlie Parkers has some really cool interior decorations....but their hours are limited.

Interesting about Springfield history. I was eating the Horseshoe and Monte Carlo in Peoria in the 60s.

Here's a link to the history of the horseshoe and the development of this in Springfield. Springfield is noted nationwide for this food dish. Heart attack on a plate.

St. Peppers is pretty generic, food wise, but it's not bad. I'd also suggest Dublin's Pub or Darcy's Pint. If you ever want good tacos and burgers in Springfield, go to Chadito's! It's really close to St. Peppers. Pretty much every place in Springfield will serve up a horseshoe, well, besides the chains like Denny's.
