It's the kind of classic small‑town breakfast that feels familiar in the best way, nothing fancy, just really good food, big portions, and prices that make you double‑check the bill because it's that reasonable. We literally drive 35 minutes out of the way every year because it's worth it. The service has always been great and genuinely kind every time we've gone. No rush, no attitude, just people who take care of you. If you want a dependable, affordable, no‑nonsense breakfast with that small‑town warmth, this place nails it every time.

Destination 814 (Lagrange, IN) - "modern" bar in Amish county…read more Made a successful trip to try Destination 814 in Lagrange. We have tried dropping in here during a busy Friday or Saturday dinner hour. The wait can be very long as Destination 814 is rather popular in these parts. You can find Destination 814 near the downtown Lagrange area. Head north on IN 3 or I69 about an hour. Destination 814 is a kind of a "modern" bar located in a more rural-small town area. The inside would remind you of a typical small sports bar (see pictures). The whole place is rather small but nicely decorated with sports stuff. The bar is very attractive - lots of back lit bottles to entice you. It only seats about 11 people. The dining room seats about 46 people. It can handle a couple groups of 6-8 people. There is an outdoor area that will seat about 16 people. The team here was very friendly and hustled the refills and food. They had plenty of help on this night. The menu is not overly large but it seem to have something for everyone (see picture). Salads, burgers, wraps, flatbreads and a variety of entrees are reasonably priced in the $15-20 range. They have a large menu for bourbons, whiskeys, beers and cocktails. Note that none of the drinks have prices - which is becoming more common place. We started with the garlic buns. These are pretty popular and have good reviews for good reasons. They are soft and buttery with a slight garlic taste. The beer cheese had a nice taste and thickness. Easy to dip. Not a strong cheese flavor. My wife had the Crab Rangoon flatbread. She really liked the amount of crab in the sauce. The crunchy wontons were a nice add. The sweet Asian chili sauce was fairly standard. The buttered chicken flatbread (Indian style) sounded delicious as well. My cod basket was very good. Three surprisingly large pieces of fish amongst French fries. The cod was fresh tasting and flaky. The batter was thin and stuck to the fish well. Not a lot of distinguishable seasoning in the batter. The tartar sauce was slightly sweet mayo mixture with a very mild dill taste. The fries were a little bit thicker in size and had a slight crisp. The seasoning gave you some salty southwest styling. Overall, I would encourage you to drop in and try Destination 814. Go early, lunch to 5p, if you are making a special trip...if you want to avoid the big crowd.

According to an article in the New York Times on the Greek proliferation of American diners, they wrote "wherever Greeks gather, a kaffenion can usually be found. It's a rough place where men gather to talk and down cups of coffee and shots of ouzo. When approximately 350,000 Greeks came to the United States between 1900 and 1920, they brought the kaffenion with them." Well, this is no kaffenion. The upfit is tastefully done, and the menu, while generous, is not gargantuan. There is something here for you. I was hoping for a broader sampling of authentic Greek dishes, however. And a shot of ouzo. Our food was very good and directed towards filling your belly. Prices and portions are reasonable, and service is commensurate for the area. I liked it. Just gotta have a blue plate swimming in gravy or a stack of pancakes dripping with syrup? This kaffenion cafè gets the whistles blowing on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. No brainer . . .
