    We love Bernie's. Smoking bar. Super casual, mostly regulars, middle-age and older crowd. Rarely loud or obnoxious. Cheap to reasonably priced food. Typical bar menu for the most part. However they just added a few new menu items (crawfish, spicy breaded pickles, CBR pizza, etc.). I've included pics of the new menu. I haven't tried the new items (tried to order the crawfish but they were out- good sign I guess!). I usually get the chicken strips dinner or fish sandwich. :)

    Breaded Tenderloin (apparently) with lettuce.

    Food is really good. Simple menu with some things you don't see everywhere. My goto is the cheeseburger- crawfish bites for an app.

    Ivanhoe's (Upland, IN) - it's shortcake season at Ivanhoe's!!…read more That time has arrived! Ivanhoe's is now serving one of their most popular and delectable dishes. Beware...the crowds are big and the lines are long. But...it's worth the wait!! At the bottom is a medium sized cube of slightly warm shortcake. It is moist, sweet and slightly firm. The top of the cake has a thin layer of almost crispy granulated sugar - more sweetness! The bowl is piled high with fresh, lush, red strawberries. Some sweet, most firm and a little juicy. A good sized dollop of vanilla soft serve and whipped creme lay on top. The combination is delicious! It easily feeds more than one dessert lover for about $9.50. Strawberry Shortcake marks the start of spring season. Make a special trip to Upland to visit Ivanhoe's if you have never been there!

With an astounding selection of over 100 sundae flavors, the sheer variety is mind-blowing, guaranteeing a perfect flavor profile for every palate. Each visit, often enjoyed for a delightful lunch, proves that their commitment to excellence in their sweets is unwavering, consistently earning a perfect 10/10 for food quality. Situated near both Taylor University and Indiana Wesleyan University, it's clear why this establishment is a perpetual hub of deliciousness. Despite the fact that the parking lot often fills 15 minutes before opening and a 30-minute wait is typical, the excellent service (9/10) remains efficient and friendly, ensuring a pleasant visit. Parking itself is surprisingly easy to navigate. The atmosphere is very kid-friendly, drawing families from far and wide, though it's important for parents to note the lack of highchairs. Ivanhoe's has been a cornerstone of the Upland community, a cherished institution that perfectly embodies the spirit of a classic American ice cream parlor. Must-order: Any ice cream sundaes. I will be back!

I love stopping in somewhere that has a different special every day made from scratch. We tried the beef and noodles and the portion sizes were huge. The beef and noodles needed a little bit of salt, but I actually really like a place that lets you salt food as you see fit without it being too salty to start with. The portion size was so large that I also have dinner for that evening. Where should I start with the cake? They named this cake better than sex. I don't know about that... But it definitely made me close my eyes and I felt like I was in heaven for about five seconds. So there is that. The cake has chocolate cake with evaporated milk and caramel port over it with the whipped cream icing and Butterfingers crushed on top. It is pretty damn phenomenal. My coworker got breakfast for her lunch and her portion size was huge as well. We both joke that we could've split one meal and then each got an individual dessert because really who the hell wants to share that cake? Not me. The place was packed but they were extremely quick at lunchtime. If you are near Anderson Indiana this is only a few miles north so give it a shot.

Tofay I stopped in and had the meatloaf special and it was phenomenal. Even after the HUGE portion sizes, I had to order a second one to go and let my wife have a bite. It was completely made from scratch, plenty to eat, and very affordable I walked in and found my table, and immediately the waitress was at my table, friendly as ever, getting my drink orders. They were super quick and respectful. After I ordered, I wasn't sat for 10 minutes until my meal came out. I ended up ordering desert because I just had to try their homemade sugar cream pie. Just like the meatloaf, it was the best I have ever had I wish there was a 6 star option because that is exactly what I would use to describe this amazing place. This restaurant needs the recognition they deserve ASAP. 11/10. Must Try

I ordered my sandwich and got it without incident.....Until....... The cup of soup I ordered they didn't have enough of, so the guy said he needed to get more. I said I would wait with no problem. Seconds later he bought me out soup that I swear he added water to! It was broccoli and cheddar water! There was zero flavor and crackers didn't thicken it up! The sandwich was good. The manager did correct the issue, but overall, not a great first impression.

It's very cool on the inside with vintage and Indiana-themed decor, tin ceilings, and, of course, a potbelly stove. The staff were friendly. But brother and I were very confused about the ordering process. There wasn't a lot of directional signage showing where to start and each step of the process. I watched a few other customers go through and they didn't seem like they had a problem so maybe it was just us. Next time I would probably just order online and pick it up so I could avoid the in-person ordering process altogether. I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. I would say definitely a step up from your typical sub sandwich chain in terms of flavor and toppings options. I tried the chili mac as well. The chili is definitely à la Wendy's but I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good as well. I'd probably get either on its own but not together again. I also tried the Potbelly/Zapp's collab chips, the Hot Pepper flavor. They were good but are definitely not for everyone. When I visited, most of their fountain soda options were out of order so I settled on a no sugar added Pineapple Passionfruit juice/soda which was actually pretty good. We'll definitely be back - especially to try out their milkshakes!

Indeed, the tiny restaurant on Main Street in Markleville (population 484) is filled most evenings and weekend lunch with guests anxious for the hand breaded sandwiches, hand cut fries, burgers, wings and more. The owner, Doug, began restoring the historic building in 2019. Now he is working to add dining space upstairs for another 15 tables to help accommodate the demand. I was steered to the restaurant by a fellow Yelper from Virginia. I did not hesitate to make the 90 mile round trip drive for lunch. The dining room is small with a couple cloth covered tables and a bar seating. Soft country music fills the room and a gorilla hangs from the ceiling. The tenderloin is incredibly tender, fresh, juicy and hot with a perfectly seasoned breading. I ordered the regular size tenderloin, Doug also serves a larger version that is about a pound of meat. And don't skip the fries - hand cut and crisp. The fries are 5 star too. The service is impeccable, the kind of small town service that makes you feel special. We loved hearing Doug's story. There is street parking on the side of the building. They do a robust carry-out business, as well. They are not currently serving alcohol. They are not opened mid week for lunch- check the hours. It's worth the drive, even from out of state. So good!
