Our Story
Welcome to our cozy home away from home, where we wholeheartedly believe that good food lifts the spirits and brightens everyone’s day.
As I grew up in Lebanon, I cherished the moments spent in the kitchen with my mother as we prepared her delicious meals for our family. Those times together not only taught me how to create healthy, hearty, and flavorful dishes but also filled our home with laughter, warmth, and love.
Later in life, after moving to the United States, I found myself returning to the Middle East to work alongside my American colleagues. We often dined at Lebanese restaurants, where I observed how much they enjoyed the delicious food and warm hospitality. This experience inspired me to recreate that inviting atmosphere and culinary delight when I returned home to the U.S.
In 2012, my family and I took a bold step and launched one of the first food trucks in Springfield, Missouri—That Lebanese Place. Our mission was to provide healthy and flavorful meals while staying true to our family’s culinary traditions. Before long, we outgrew our food truck and decided to move into this permanent location on C-Street.
Our core belief remains simple: Good food, good mood.
We truly hope you savor your meal as much as we enjoy preparing it for you!
