The parking lot tailgating before dinner is half the experience. Where else can you sip a drink next to a pickup truck, make friends with complete strangers, and then walk inside to eat a meal that makes you question every life choice that led you to lesser restaurants? The food is absurdly good. The famous Perkinsville Pork deserves its own state holiday. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the menu somehow manages to feel both elevated and unapologetically Hoosier. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chaotic in the best possible way. Everyone having a great time. Come hungry. Come early. Bring a folding chair for the parking lot. Leave wondering why every restaurant isn't this much fun. 10/10. I'd drive past three chain restaurants and a dozen sensible decisions to eat here again. Will be back soon.

Bonge's Tavern is the definition of a "hidden gem." Tucked inside an unassuming, barn-like…read morebuilding, the atmosphere of Bonge's is much more modest than the quality of food they serve. The cuts of meat are honestly St. Elmo's level-caliber. I couldn't believe the size and rich, smoky flavor of the lamb shank. But if you want to see something REALLY huge, order the pork chop--it's basically the size of a small island! While I definitely enjoyed my entree, my favorite part of the meal was hands-down the prime rib pirogies. The shaved prime rib inside was so juicy and tender, and the horseradish added an extra "kick" that took the dish to a whole new level. I couldn't eaten a whole plate of them by myself! One thing to note is that it is notoriously hard to get a reservation at Bonge's, so make sure you plan ahead if you want to dine here. Most of the time, you will have to wait before you are seated due to the small size of the dining area, but trust me, it's worth the wait every time!

Not a single complaint from anyone! The food was incredible, with a tasty variety of appetizers like fried pickles, quesadillas, salad, chips, and jalapeño poppers--everything was a hit. I personally enjoyed a favorite of mine, a buffalo chicken wrap which was full of delicious flavors and ingredients. We were able to provide drink tickets, and the selection--from ciders to sour beers--was top-notch and well-loved by everyone. The space itself is warm, welcoming, and perfect for larger gatherings. The assortment of board games was a hit amongst our crew. I couldn't recommend Creatures of Habit more--whether it's for events, hangouts, or anything in between. Thank you again! We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Both of our fancy fries were a welcoming comfort. His bone marrow fries were an interesting blend of balsamic, truffle parmesan, and rich marrow but they worked in perfect harmony. Mine were almost a poutine. =p The bar itself is a lot of fun to sit in and look around because it's a hodge-podge of oddities, classic local memorabilia, and then funny stuff you have to pay attention to. One bathroom even features the owner's wedding photo with a joke (when you see it you'll understand). Foxgardin is the perfect eclectic spot to get an elevated plate without feeling out of place in jeans. I already miss it.

The kitchen and service staff were wonderfully accommodating with custom requests--my husband ordered a double patty burger topped with an egg and no bun, and they executed it perfectly. ​I ordered a salad and the chicken stir-fry. The salad was generous with plenty of fresh cucumbers and cold tomatoes, though it was made with iceberg lettuce, which really isn't my preference, so I left most of it behind. However, the chicken stir-fry completely made up for it. It was incredibly well-balanced, loaded with great broccoli, and definitely a dish I would order again. I wish we had known there was a filet special the night we went. Our server was slow and seemed confused.
