    Churro fries
    Pam H.

    We stopped in for a late breakfast/ early brunch and enjoyed everything! The atmosphere is comfy with a dive bar feel (in the best way). We started with the churro fries - yummy appetizer that comes with apple butter, but we asked for a side of honey which was even better! I tried the buffalo chicken babo's which were perfect- plenty of flavor and just enough for me! My dining party tried the breakfast chimichanga (humongous) and the Balkan club. Both dishes were delicious. Fresh and full of flavor. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Terre Haute!

    Cevapi Special.
    Dave R.

    Wow! The cevapi, a house specialty is like nothing I've had. Tender juicy flavorful sausages on perfectly grilled bread with a red pepper sauce on the side. Killa fries! Great staff; friendly, informative, attentive - really pretty - and super efficient. I'll be back!

    Was extremely busy and the building being small made for a very loud environment. The service was good and quick. The food was good, I wasn't the biggest fan of the tnt chicken but that was just a personal dislike.

    Build your own burger. Tater tots. (Not pictured)Chicken and rice soup of the day.
    Megan L.

    The food was pretty good. My burger was a build your own so it was just a basic burger but good. The tots were good but I think I'm gonna get French fries next time. Their soup of the day was really good. The service was great. The waitresses helped each other out with grabbing refills or asking if things are good. The environment is pretty laid back but loud and busy. Everybody was very polite and happy.

    Great breakfast, and friendly service. The french toast and pancakes are excellent, and so are the authentic eastern European specialties.

    I'm so glad I looked at Yelp reviews for restaurants in Terre Haute…read more This one is a little on the outskirts. The parking is right beside the building, which is nice. The building is absolutely stunning. From the mural along the side with some Indiana favorites to the very tasteful woodwork inside. All four of us thought our food was really good. How often does that happen? The newest menu item was the Salisbury steak. Might be the best I've ever had. There is a little kick to it. Nothing that little water doesn't take care of. haha when I mentioned the cake to the waitress, she said it's probably the goat cheese and the mashed potatoes. I never knew a goat cheese being spiced. But, hey, I really enjoyed it! If I lived in this area, I would frequent it a lot.

I expected it to taste just like candy but it was surprisingly light. For dinner I ordered the chicken parmesan . It came with large pieces of breaded chicken. It also had a very large portion of spaghetti. Everything was cooked well and the marinara sauce had wonderful flavor. I am always impressed by the large portions. I also think the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. This is definitely my favorite restaurant to visit when I am in Terre Haute.

He will even let you try samples before ordering. And our entire order was extremely affordable. I really couldn't believe how much so. The food was good, not great. It had authentic flavors, just not enough of them. But really for the price and as a quick lunch, we were satisfied. My husband was disappointed at how much cheese they put on the Jambalaya, but he just scooped it off. The gumbo would have been much better with higher quality sausage.
