Saint James Restaurant (Avilla, Indiana) - iconic area restaurant worth a try…read more Take a short drive to downtown Avilla to try the Saint James Restaurant. It has been a fixture in Avilla since 1948 when it started as a hotel. St. James has a long tradition of serving northeast Indiana patrons (groups, families or friends) food and drinks from this historical structure. The building is large and dominates the block. It is in good repair but rather plain in appearance. There is plenty of parking out back. Once you find the entry door you have to navigate a series of hallways to the attractive bar and hostess area. The building has lots of walls that reflect the hotel structure. The back of the restaurant has a large open and plain looking dinning area. Everyone here is very friendly. They are good and simple people. They seem to seek to serve you and make you happy. There isn't much fancy about St. James. Just a good ole relaxing and home feel atmosphere. The menu is big. There is something for everyone. Prices are fair and portion sizes are decent. Here is a rundown on the items we ordered: -Strawberry pie: it's seasonal and popular. Reserve your piece when ordering dinner - if they still have it. The berries were sweet and fresh. The filling is homemade, nice berry flavor, not over the top sweet. Crust is flaky, tender and delicious. -Onion rings: we got about 6 medium sized rings for $7 on the appetizer menu. Each piece was uniquely made. Some were really thin and crispy. Others had a really thick/tender piece of onion with a thicker batter. Overall nice taste, not too oily. The ranch sauce was very thin and short on ranch flavor -Side salad: nice smaller salad with fresh ingredients. Plenty of side veggies and cheese. The croutons were tough. Garlicky and very crispy. The Smokey Bit dressing was outstanding. Kind of a blend of a southwestern chipotle sauce with a strong smoke flavor! -Crab cakes: my wife really liked the thinner cake. This allowed the cake to be heated throughout and more crispy surface areas. She liked the stronger crab meat taste. -Oven baked BBQ ribs: very tender and meaty rib. The BBQ sauce had a mild BBQ flavor with no spicy kick. The meat could be flaked off the bone with a fork. No Smokey or grilled flavors. The baked potato was large and cooked to a tender but firm center. The skin was slighted salted.

We ate on the deck and tossed some scraps to the carp that wait for generous diners. Surprisingly, the food was really good! I had the mushroom burger which tasted like it came from a high end burger joint. I also had the fried shrimp with tater tots. No complaints here. We ordered a few beers and were impressed with the selections. The servers were nice and friendly and seemed very happy to be working there. This place exceeded expectations and we will be back.

My son's love the burgers and my favorites include the breaded tenderloin and mozzarella sticks (which are the best we've had at a restaurant). Don't forget to try the hot wings, (I believe 7 in an order) they are incredible, plump and juicy, we always order ours with buffalo sauce on the side. Saturday's they serve all you can eat breaded shrimp or cod, and once a month they offer all you can eat prime rib!! Last night we ordered a pizza to go and the toppings were heaping and the crust was crispy, what more could you ask for?? If you are ever in the area, or just passing by, this is a must stop!

I was glad to get my visit in, as they are seasonal and will be closing for the winter next week. This time, there were about 12 cards in front of me, and it took about 30 min to get through the line. I know from looking at past pics that their prices have gone up (hasn't everything?!) , but nothing too extreme -- maybe $.50-ish on items, still really great deals. I ordered a cheeseburger/ fries/ drink combo, a small pup cup for my dog, and a chocolate cherry milkshake. I also ordered extra packets of ketchup and mayo. So my one :( is that I got my bag, an no ketchup or mayo. Then I asked for some and was given ketchup pakets but told mayo was an extra charge. How much? $.60. Meh, no thanks. Not that that the $ would have mattered, but I think at a burget joint, you shouldn't charge for that as a customer service issue. Especially when things like lettuce, tomato, onion etc are already included if you want them! Anyway, the buger was good, the fries were a little salty (they seem frozen, not homemade, but I ate them all), the shake was tasty, and my dog loved his pup cup! #yum #ReviewsByRL

Kind of pricey if you ask me. They added corn dogs to their menu however they are just frozen ones. I thought they were homemade batter dipped or something special. The line was extremely long which was not surprising as there is not many other choices to eat in town. Expect a wait if you go the evening time. With that being said, the hot dogs were still very good.
