As Illinois State Fair approaches, Springfield comes alive with visitors from near and far, and if you’re coming to town, take a little time to experience a piece of Springfield history.

Established in 1884, Maldaner’s is one of Springfield’s oldest and most historic restaurants. For generations, we’ve been part of the fabric of downtown Springfield, welcoming locals, travelers, politicians, families, and fairgoers through our doors.

While you’re here for the Illinois State Fair, make your way downtown and discover a restaurant that has been serving Springfield for more than 140 years.

Come for the history. Stay for the food. ❤️

Local just tastes better. 🍑🌽

This dish is everything we love about summer. We start with locally raised pork from Oak Tree Farms, then top it with our housemade peach Barbecue sauce made from fresh local peaches. It’s served with sweet corn relish and our southern style baked beans for the perfect mix of sweet, smoky, and savory.

If you’re looking for a true taste of summer, this is it. Come see us this week!
