SS - Manhattan Dinner House, Springfield, MO





Manhattan Dinner House was located on Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri and is mentioned in the book Route 66 in the Missouri Ozarks by Joe Sonderman. It was in business from 1947 until the 1960s.

The name of the restaurant, Manhattan Dinner House, seems a bit of a misnomer. Breakfast gets equal billing with dinner-- breakfast hours from 6 to 10:30 are advertised prominently out front. The restaurant is said to have specialized in steaks, so maybe the owner associated Manhattan with steaks.
