I'd long wanted to get to Have-A-Bite dinner, however, these days it's not often that I get to…read moreFranklin County's Metamora, Indiana. This is the kind of smalltown restaurant that defines what it means to serve "down home" cooking. This isn't fancy. It's just plain good. While I'm typically more of a burger guy, when I go to a down-home place like Have-A-Bite it's fried chicken I'm looking for and it sure doesn't disappoint here. Yelper Rick G. was a big fan of the tenderloin. As a tenderloin blogger, I trust his opinions there. The basics? Accessibility is surprisingly solid - Metamora can be really hit-and-miss (it's an older, folksy town with the main claim to fame being the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site and an emphasis on old-timey music and antique shops. The front entrance is workable - there's a slight lip at the door. The dining room itself is pretty well laid out and I had no problems. I didn't try the restroom. There's sandwiches here, traditional diner fare, fish/shrimp, appetizers, several dessert options, and more. The fried chicken had it going on. The mashed potatoes were inspired. The people were friendly. Is this the best meal I've ever had? Nah, but it's delicious and definitely a shining jewel in this small town and one of the best options for those who need wheelchair accessibility. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

My Best Friend and I came to visit Metamora and had lunch the first day here. I had the Patty Melt,…read moreOnion rings and my friend had a deluxe grilled cheese and breaded mushrooms and we shared fried pickles. Everything was amazing the breading was so delicious. The next day we went for breakfast and were just as pleased. It's a great little diner right off 52. Both days the guys there gave great service! We will be back next time in town!

I've been to this place when it was a Roy Rogers and I've been to Roney's in Milford. I've always…read moreliked the roast beef at this place and I still do but not close enough to go there often. The inside got rid of all the Roy Rogers pictures and added a cowboy theme. We've passed by this place and they do t seem to be crowded but we went during lunch and there were people eating there and going through the drive thru which is good. I had the roast beef sandwich with fries and the fries are okay. My wife had a chicken sandwich and I don't remember which one but her complaint was the menu board doesn't tell you what is on it. Her's had bacon which she didn't know and it came with a special sauce. What I did like about the place is that they have items you wouldn't find at a RR. One thing I didn't like is that I ordered a double but the roast beef was cut thicker so it was hard to tell if I got an extra slice instead or more thinner sliced meat. But it was still good with the BBQ sauce and horseradish which I like here since it's like RR. My wife liked the roast beef so she may eat that next time.

The three person crew steady taking orders and making them, performing very well together, no delays in getting the order done. I believe all the sub are 8", check to be sure. I got a Cuban sandwich with chips and a drink. The bread is fantastic, the sub was delicious, toasted in a panini press. But my issue was the pulled pork was not warm and the cheese was not fully melted. I'm thinking they might want to warm the pulled pork up then put it in the sub then put it in the panini press otherwise you end up with a cold middle. The country of Cuba is not cold in the middle, nor should the sandwich named for the country. This one issue would not stop me from going back, it's just a small issue they need to work on to go from a good Cuban sandwich to a Fantastic one.

The fresh French bread was delicious and there were plenty of toppings. Five star sub. I ordered the Tender Greens salad, as I was trying to eat healthy. The salad was more like a small side salad rather than the dinner salad that I was expecting. The fresh greens and cucumber were ok but the tomato was a little old and any bacon was microscopic. The salad was underwhelming. Three stars at best. The staff is friendly and helpful. Service is quick, even when they are busy. Order a sub.

The cafe is located in the converted historic ROM Webber furniture factory. The Big Four cafe name honors the railroad line that used to pass through town. Courtney, our server, was friendly and attentive. She kept water filled and checked on us frequently. Food came out quickly. I had the Herb and Garlic Chopped salad, which was beautifully plated, fresh and delicious. Romaine, tomatoes, onions were topped with cheese and avocado. The garlicky vinaigrette dressing was tangy. I I also had a cup of the Texas Chili, which was topped with cheese and jalapeño slices. The beef was tender and the soup base slightly spicy. My husband had the Cuban Press (at Courtney's recommendation) and it was tasty and hearty. The sandwich was made using Indiana ham, slowed cooked pork and melted cheese. He said his sandwich was an easy 5 stars. Don't miss the beer battered onion rings which are fresh made and delicious. (I stole a couple of his rings.) There are roomy restrooms with changing tables. Free parking is available in front of the building. Worth a visit.

Definitely a two thumbs up experience and worth a drive!

Nicely restored, the decor is a mixture of fun, quirky and historic. The menu is widely varied, with old favorites like Bangers and Mash, Fish and chips, and more modern fare like burgers. Bangers and Mash is the star of the show here. The sausage has a wonderfully savory taste, and the onion gravy is absolutely fantastic. Burger are great. The meat is tasty, and there is a twist or two on their burgers. I'm a bit picky about my burgers, and I'm happy with theirs. Fish and Chips weren't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but nothing made them stand out to me, either. A solid, if not stellar meal. On our last visit, they had Cranberry Cobbler. I'd never heard of it, but it was fantastic. If it's on the menu during your visit, don't miss it. Service has always been fine. A solid spot in Metamora.

He completely snubbed both my wife and myself. I don't have to deal with an individual like this and I won't. There are lots of other things you can do in Metamora such as Mr fudge's shop. Stop by and see Donna and buy some candy she is a jewel. She should be running that town and not characters like the other guy. We really love Metamora despite people like this guy. I sincerely hope that the other shopkeepers finally realize what he is doing to this location. I remember the good old days of Metamora back in the early 2000s. If you want to go someplace for some good food try the Laurel hotel in Laurel Indiana it is only about 6 mi away. Great food and people that appreciate you stopping by.

The wait is well worth it. My biggest tip is to arrive close to opening if you can. They're incredibly popular, and because their bread takes three days to make, they can sell out if there's an unexpected rush. One helpful note for first-time visitors is to walk all the way inside to place your order at the register in the back. We ordered the L'Alveo and the La Rossa, and both were outstanding. They happened to be serving them on gluten-free bread that day, due to the mad rush and honestly, I never would have known it was fantastic. The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and incredibly filling. The L'Alveo was rich, creamy, and wonderfully indulgent, while the La Rossa was bright and refreshing. The eggplant in the La Rossa was the star. Every bite was excellent. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the hospitality. The owner was warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate. We'll definitely be back. If you're thinking about trying this place, don't wait! Get there early before they sell out for the day!

The place is not fancy, actually a little dated, but clean and welcoming. There is a full bar with photos of the regulars hanging around.

The food took about 15 minutes to prep and appear at our table. The servers checked on us frequently. We ordered breaded tenderloin sandwiches with onion rings. One of the servers told us that the pork was locally sourced and hand battered. Other regulars, next to us, recommended the onion rings as a side. The tenderloin was not pounded thin, but thick and juicy. The breading was light and flavorful. The bun did not hold up well, but it was fresh. The onion rings were amazing. The helping was generous and the breading was a light beer batter. It was a great meal made with local ingredients. The building is smoke free, but there is a patio that appears to allow smoking behind the main building. The rest rooms were super clean. There is street parking and and plenty of parking behind the building.

Right on state road one, they've turned a historic tavern into a very well furnished coffeehouse. Timestamps: my coffee was ready in about a minute after I ordered it and the sandwich in about 4. They are very professional and polite. You definitely get that everybody knows everybody vibe from being here. More impressively is the relic of Saint John Vianney that is kept here. Europe is more known for pilgrimages to see the tombs of saints, but here there is a small piece of the legendary priest that spent hours hearing confessions. Far from an agenda, Ars is an invitation, and this place for me is a monument to friendship before opinions. A breath of fresh air for me! And also a great restaurant and coffeehouse. 10 stars if I could, but I guess I am stuck with 5!

We had to call after they were closed already to find out where it was. 15 minutes lady the order showed up. Understanding we are on 4 minutes from the location. Driver showed up and part of the order was missing. Delivery driver told us we could just order a FREE pizza the next day and get out missing item. When we called we were told no and that we could come pick up our missing item. They have absolutely NO concern for the customer. They do not stand behind their products and service.

I ended up eating the toppings off of the crust and leaving the crust in the box.
