Love the food here.

Randy Clevenger

We had a small get together for my 50th class reunion. Friends from Alabama and Texas some from not so local Indiana plus us of Dunkirk Indiana. A great job the staff did for our group. The food was delicious. Banana pudding was well almost as good as my mom's. The music was fun to have in the background. A great ... place for a small town. This is becoming my place to go! Thank you job well done! Read More
