    Hand breaded pork tenderloin with onions and tots

    This is my husband's favorite place for a Saturday lunch. Let's just start by saying it's nothing to look at - the outside of the building warns food snobs to stay away and warns robbers that a .45 is faster than 911 - but if you are brave enough to venture inside, you're in for a treat. We've only ever had lunch but I will update if I ever get there early enough to try their biscuits and gravy. I have a feeling they are exceptional. Everything is made fresh after you order - and served piping hot. This is a downhome diner with a simple burger menu - but the burgers are terrific. They remind me of The Dinner Bell burgers when I was a kid. There is also pie for dessert - if someone got up early enough to make it, and if not, the store bought cake isn't bad either.

    A very quaint little diner located in Borden indiana They have a very casual atmosphere and some really good home cooked meals. The decor is truly country and the menu follows the theme. They always have a daily special so check the menu board to see what's cooking. It's not a real big restaurant so seating is limited. I chose the cold plate selection which includes your choice of four different tastes. I had the pasta the crab, the chicken salad and cole slaw. They come with cheese slices and pickles. They were all fresh and tasty. Majority of our party had the fried fish and everything must have been good, no plate was returned to the kitchen with uneaten food. Portions are large so splitting a dinner would be a good idea. They also offered some really good home made desserts..I had to pass because I picked off of several different plates! They serve Coca Cola products. The service was outstanding and our server was excellent. The place was packed but she did not miss a thing when serving us. If you take a ride in southern indiana this fall to watch the foliage changing, by all means stop by! It's a great experience!

    Ranch hand breakfast. Yummy

    This place has the very Best Chicken we have ever had. Anytime we are in town this is our first…read morestop. We travel all over the United States. We aren't even tempted to have Chicken anywhere else. Because we know it won't measure up. This place gets packed at lunch and again around 4:15-5:00 each day. So go early if you can. Britney is the owner and a great person. You will find her there at many times of the day. She pitches in where needed and helps to keep it flowing when it gets busy. And then the jewels of this restaurant and bar is the staff. The Bartenders and servers are all over the place making sure customers are taken care of and checking in often to give the best customer service possible. All of them make us and everyone that walks through the door feel special. You can also order takeout. But the experience of just being there is worth it. The kitchen is ran like a well oiled machine. They stay busy not only frying chicken but all the other wonderful menu items you will find. We can't not have their heavy peppered fried chicken, mashed potatoes and the best gravy too. Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.

    Doesn't look like much on the outside but the food is outstanding! I had fried chicken with green…read morebeans, mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband had a pizza hoagie and tater tots. The food was home made even the hoagie patty. Very country home style and reminded me of my Aunt's cooking when I was young. This place will likely become a regular spot for us.
