how it all started.
The origins of Jimm’s Steakhouse & Pub are deeply rooted in Springfield’s culinary history. When the beloved Steak & Ale restaurant closed its doors in 2008, longtime general manager James “Jimm” Swafford saw an opportunity to preserve the legacy. He transformed the former Steak & Ale location into Jimm’s Steakhouse & Pub, maintaining the classic charm while introducing his own vision. This endeavor not only preserved a piece of local history but also provided employment opportunities for former Steak & Ale staff.
