Home to the worlds largest Route 66 shield, Motorheads is truly a "one of a kind" dining experience. Motorheads holds plenty of brews, Route 66 signage, and Springfield history.

Overall a must see for all who travel!  The building, Motorheads, was originally built as Stuckey's gas station in 1971. The reason why it's called Motorheads is because the restaurant is closely tied to the worlds fastest dirt mile track located in Springfield, IL.
