Celebrating 21 Amazing Years
& Looking to the Future!

An important message from the Hickory River Smokehouse Springfield team

To our wonderful Springfield community:

After 21 incredible years of serving you the best Texas-style BBQ in town, we have an important update to share. We recently received a wonderful, unsolicited offer to purchase our property at 2343 N. Dirksen Pkwy. After a lot of reflection, we have decided to accept it as we look toward the future of our brand.

Since opening our doors in 2005, we have shared so many unforgettable memories with you. While this location is closing, this isn't goodbye! We are actively searching for a new spot in the area and are keeping our eyes open for a dynamic new franchisee to bring the smoke back to Springfield.

Thank you for making us a part of your lives for over two decades. We will deeply miss the daily hustle and your friendly faces, but we hope to see you at our Champaign, Urbana, or Peoria locations soon - and yes, all gift cards will gladly be accepted there!

With immense gratitude,
The Hickory River Smokehouse Team
