Maid Rite - Springfield

118 N. Pasfield, Springfield, IL 62703

Diners

America's first ever Drive-Through, "Maid-Rite", literally translates locally to mean "wholesomeness and pureness". And since the early 1920's that still holds true. Maid Rite holds one of the Mid-West's most historic treasures.

The "Maid Rite" is a truly original ground beef sandwich! Many travel from all around to get their first bite of an authentic Maid Rite sandwich, and a taste of their delicious homemade Root Beer.
