    Grilled tenderloin sandwich on a toasted bun--good!
    Crystal M.

    Folkies is a warm, friendly bar in downtown Marion. We came there for lunch and ordered sandwiches. I had a cheeseburger with all the fixings and French fries. A nice touch was that the cook toasts the bun on the grill which makes it crispy and tasty. Fries were crispy on the outside and just right. My lunch date had a grilled tenderloin sandwich with fries and a beer, which he really liked. It's a full bar with typical bar fare and obviously has been here for awhile with paneling. The staff and owner are friendly and do not seem to know a stranger. They have TVs and a jukebox, plus a daily password for internet. Summertime has outdoor seating and they're right in the heart of the monthly First Fridays street fair so it would be a good place to stop in for a bite and to listen to the bands. Would be glad to go back! P.S. Someone said cash only but they now accept credit cards.

    Walked in and walked out due to the cigarette smoke. Not interested in smelling that during my meal!

    For years I have wanted to try Payne's since I have driven by the sign on the interstate so many…read moretimes. So glad I finally did. The restaurant was a lot more kitschy than I was expecting, which I loved. Our waitress had a wonderful energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had several unique items. I ordered a Scottish soda called IRN BRU. I love trying food and drinks from around the world. It tasted like an Orange Crush soda. Our waitress said they were known for their Cauliflower soup. It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

    On our drives from Carmel to Michigan this wonderful, amazing, restaurant makes our long journey so…read moremuch easier. We love Payne's and have told everyone about it. In fact it is my favorite restaurant of all time. Sunday we stopped again. I had the British chicken curry and the fatoush. It was amazing as usual. That fatoush is so refreshing! My wife had the pork chop which comes with these amazing mashed potatoes with mustard seasoning that will blow your mind. She can never finish because it's so much food, which is OK with me because I help her out some. My favorite way to eat this is to mix a little mashed potato, mustard and pork chop together into one delicious bite. We were too full for dessert, but the times that we had the dessert here were spectacular as well. Thank you to all the people that work at Paynes, please don't change anything, you are the best!

    Dillinger's is located downtown Peru, Indiana. It is off the beaten US 24 path. You will find it…read morein a building that was probably built in the 1880's. Allegedly, in 1933, Dillinger robbed the near by police station of guns and ammo. Hence the name...Dillinger's Bar & Grill. Dillinger's is a smaller but wide open restaurant. An inviting bar is centrally located. The wooden floors, ceilings and hand-hued beams are probably original to 1880's business structure. The facility is simple and sports a lot of Dillinger references like the table tops. I found the team here to be very friendly and willing to serve. The menu is fairly large with lots of Dillinger coded menu items to choose from. The prices were very reasonable with decent portion sizes (i.e. no highway robbery here lol). We started with the onion rings. They had a thick piece of onion and equally thick batter. The batter had a bit of a beer seasoning, slight oily taste and a moderately crunch. Really good tasting ring! The side salad was small with a nice mix of simple side ingredients - tomatoes, onions and cheese. My wife had the Wheelman wrap. She said it was loaded with tasty turkey and bacon flavors. She liked the fresh taste. The fries were thinner and crispy. I ordered the Silent Shot breaded tenderloin. It was very thick and juicy. The pork taste really came out nicely. The breading was thick like the onion rings - slight crunch and slightly oily. The sandwich came with all the usual toppings. The Cole slaw was also very tasty. The small slaw pieces were almost diced. The mayo base was slightly sweet with a hint of vinegar. It stuck to the slaw pieces without being soupy. Overall another interesting, out of the way place, with good drops and service... to dine and experience some Americana.

    Food was not good! Bar food. They tried to do steaks. They were awful. Stick with bar foodread more
