Mannnnn.... I remember eating here as a kid, some 30 years ago…read more I can't believe they were open on the 4th of July! SCORE! This is the last Hot n Now left in existence, BUT I've heard thru the grapevine that they're actually making a comeback and opening more locations! My mom lives here back in Sturgis again... When we would come visit my aunts and uncles, we would stop here, some 30+ years ago, and it's just as I remember it. Being from Reno Nevada, when I come visit my mom, I try NOT to eat here, because I try to stay away from carbs, but I had to give in after an internal 3 day battle. I always forget what I ordered from the last visit, because it's usually years apart. This time (and probably last) I ordered the "Big Hot" with fries. It was perfect and sloppy, just how I like it. The fries were good, and I ordered fried pickles. They were a little greasy but super good. The menu is also very fairly priced. For the trash I would get at 5 guys for just me, I was able to buy 2 combo meals The lady who took my order and money was super sweet. I don't remember what iit looks like inside, and come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever even been! I hope they DO open more! Ill see y'all next time! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Usually a line in the drive thru but it moves fast. I will say I was happy that even with a big order it was all there and done correctly. This beats most large fast food chain's as the can somehow mess up you order repeatedly. No dine in available

As far as ambiance goes, you can't actually go inside so there's only so much to see but for the most part, the outside of the building seems to be kept up relatively well. But the main thing to comment on is the food. The prices here are really great, especially for what you get, they don't skimp on portions. I had a burger, popcorn chicken, onion rings and French fries. Overall, the burger wasn't my favorite but I've had far worse and the popcorn chicken was fine but nothing to write home about. The fries and onion rings on the other hand were some of the best I've ever had! Not sure if I'll be in a huge rush to come back but if I find myself in the area again, I would definitely consider it for the sides alone!

I've been here probably three or four or five times, and I always see the same friendly faces. I had NO idea that this place was even for sale, but apparently new owners bought it a few months ago. Had I known it was for sale, I might have tried to buy it. It's always busy in there, and I even think sometimes there's a short wait. They have outdoor seating bar seating table tops, jukebox, and the place is really clean. I can't remember the dishes I've had prior, but this particular visit they had a special of German pot roast, with red cabbage and dumplings? It was so so good, and I liked the fact that the chef went the extra mile and plated it with a flower and a gingerbread cookie. He even came out of the kitchen to ask me how I liked it. Every time I visit my mom, I will always come back here. I really like this place and you will too! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

And we deserved an enjoyable experience after making that effort, and it does not make any sense that we were let down by the staff's attitude and the overpriced meal.

At one point I had to call across the restaurant just to get her attention. This is just SAD.

I had never been…read moreimpressed by the other restaurants I'd been to, so I suggested we find something I hadn't tried before. I looked on Yelp and found the Country Corral. The first sign that it was probably good was that there were a lot of vehicles -- both cars and carriages -- in the parking lot. And, there was a bit of a wait, which usually means to me that a restaurant is good. When we finally went in, we saw that it's a rather small restaurant. But what really blew our minds was how inexpensive it was. Two of us had breakfast for $16 INCLUDING the tip! The food was just good, simple and tasty. I ordered a cheese omelette, which came with toast and hash browns, and I also got sausage gravy. My sister just had eggs and toast. I ended up taking half of mine with me, because it was so good -- especially the toast! And the service was good as well. I wish there was a place like this close to home. But if/when I go back to Shipshewana, I will be sure to come back!

The bacon that we absolutely loved the last time was not the same - extremely dry and flavorless. The biscuit is was not biscuit-like at all, but more like a squishy and kind of soggy bread. The biggest disappointment was the $2 upcharge for us splitting a plate. Not many places do this anymore, but the Village Inn does. And if you're going to charge extra, at least split it for the customer (as many places do without even asking!) instead of just throwing an extra plate under the main dish. Everything else was fine. Our server was nice enough but not very personable. Just kinda meh about our entire visit this time.
