  • Restaurant with an American-Inspired Tavern Experience in Springfield IL

  • Abe’s Hideout is the ideal restaurant in Springfield, IL mainly because of their diverse entrees and homemade recipes. Specializing in char-broiled burgers cooked to order; an assortment of your favorite seafood dishes like garlic broiled shrimp and our savory lemon butter salmon; or even our homemade Italian recipes so you can indulge on your pasta cravings. We truly are a restaurant of many tastes.

    Since 2009, we have taken pride in our flavors we cook up, often rivaling your favorite steakhouse or barbeque restaurant. We encourage you to visit us and start your full course meal with one of our homemade soups. If you don’t have time to dine-in, we gladly accept carry out orders AND have a party room that can cater up to 50 people!

  • The Best Place to Get Lunch or Dinner Springfield IL

  • Our famous Southern Fried Chicken is a real-life blessing and a curse. It’s hand-breaded with fresh homemade ingredients,cooked to order, and guaranteed irresistible. I know, I know. How can something that beautiful and delicious be a curse? It’s simple; our fried chicken is so good you won’t be able to try our other phenomenally flavored dishes. Anytime you stop in, you will order this irresistible fried chicken (and we are okay with that). Hey, not all curses are bad and this is one Harry Potter probably wished he had.

  • Sometimes when we are at a restaurant and all of the appetizers look and sound amazing, it can be frustrating. I mean, trying to only choose one?! Talk about first-world problems. We hate problems like that, so whether you are in the mood for fried green beans, chicken wings or popular choice pepper jack mac n cheese bites – we have this beautiful concoction called the Abe’s Sampler Platter. That’s right, Abe’s Hideout AKA first-world problem-solvers.

  • All you.can eat, Walleye was very good with all the trimmings. The plate came with 3 1/2 fillets and the second round came without me asking with 4 more. Couldn't eat it all. Fish sandwich is lunch tomorrow.
