Springfield, MO
For sake of clarity, let’s define our term. “Dive,” according to the dictionary, is “a dingy or disreputable bar or nightclub.” For the most part, the five places that made our final list of locally owned and operated restaurants may be a bit dingy due to age and constant use, but their reputations are stellar.
So, prepare yourself to suspend judgment based on looks, and let’s talk atmosphere and taste. During the next five weeks, we’ll review five popular dives in Springfield.
Oh, and back to that definition. Dive as a verb means, “to plunge into an activity or enterprise with vigor and gusto.” Our advice? Take the dive. Better yet, take all five. With vigor, gusto and ketchup.
