Where Local Comes Together
Local Food • Drinks • Music • Good Times
- ABOUT US -
The Railyard is built around a simple idea: give local businesses a place to shine and give our community a place to enjoy them.
Behind every ordering window is an independent business owner bringing their own passion, creativity and hard work to the table.
We believe those businesses deserve to be celebrated, and we're proud to provide a space where their stories become part of something bigger.

- THE MARTINS -
BRAD & ADRIA
We're Brad and Adria Martin, the husband-and-wife team behind Oakview BBQ and the new operators of The Railyard on Historic Route 66.
Our journey at The Railyard began with Oakview BBQ, where we brought our passion for authentic, handcrafted barbecue to Springfield's community of local food lovers.
What started as an opportunity to share our own food has grown into something much bigger. Having experienced The Railyard firsthand as vendors, we understand the dedication, challenges and hard work that go into running a small business.
When the opportunity arose to take over operations of The Railyard, we saw the potential to do more than grow our own business. We saw an opportunity to help other local entrepreneurs succeed while creating a welcoming place for our community to gather.
Family has always been a big part of what we do, and we're fortunate to have their helping hands alongside a dedicated team of employees who help keep things running smoothly.
We're excited to build on what makes The Railyard special, introduce fresh ideas and continue creating a destination where local food, entertainment and community come together.
