We are back! A devastating fire didn’t stop us! We are back, bigger and better than before after a fire swept through our restaurant in 2022. We now have a large menu with plenty of variety in a lovely new building in the same location. Great homemade food, seven days a week, in a hometown setting, friendly staff—and breakfast all day long! You will find classic sandwiches, ultimate wraps, croissant sandwiches, steak, shrimp, fried chicken, pork chops, ham, hearty and filling breakfasts, and Hoosier staples like Beef Manhattan and huge tenderloins. Dine in or carry out.
