Tenderloins? Sure, we'll drive to Summitville to give them a try! You don't get more authentic-Indiana-hometown than this. I heard about this spot from friends so we decided to take our old car out for a run on a cooler August day. We sat on the patio which is about the size of the indoor dining room, about 8 4-top tables with overhead fans. We both ordered the Hoosier, a tenderloin sandwich fixed to order, fried or grilled. They are very generous in size and decently flavored. The Mac and cheese side was lackluster but the french fries are amazing and it's all served on china with cloth napkins, wow! Our waitress did a great job so, altogether, a nice lunch spot. read more

We have been here previously and made a special trip to enjoy their lunch menu. Service was friendly and timely. She always had a smile for us every time she stopped by to check on us. We enjoy looking at the decor! Always see something different. We will be back up to have lunch after Mass this Sunday! Looking forward to it! read more

Mom and I were out riding around on Thursday afternoon and decided to try this place out. Service was slow as the one we had was assigned way too many tables at one time. We ordered the onion petals for an appetizer and those were good. Mom got the tenderloin with mashed potatoes and green beans and I got the fried chicken with all white meat and mashed potatoes and gravy with Mac and cheese. Mom loved the tenderloin and green beans, and I liked the Mac and cheese, neither of us liked the mashed potatoes because they obviously loaded them down with sour cream which didn't taste good with gravy on it. The sour cream overpowering the potatoes so that was a no from us. I wanted so bad to like their fried chicken but they cooked it so long it was like tire rubber and some parts couldn't even be pulled off the bone. The place was nice inside and they have a nice patio outside and it was a nice 82 degree day but it was so windy Mom wanted to eat inside. They bring out a basket of bread and their butter was delicious. Mom tried the XXX root beer and liked it. The iced tea was okay, We would go back again but I would be hesitant to order the fried chicken next time. Someone beside us ordered the taco salad and it looked delicious. read more

What to do on a rainy day? Wander Indiana on a road trip is often our answer. Decided to drive an hour north to Fairmount to see the James Dean Museum and needed lunch along the way. Very happy we chose to go to Hoosier Routes in Summitville. Ciara was a very friendly server, making suggestions from the menu and showing me dishes as they came out. We ordered the tenderloin sandwich (lightly breaded, moist and flavorful) with country green beans and the hand-breaded chicken tenders. Food was very good. Try them out. read more

Very cute restaurant, great food and friendly staff! This was our first time trying this restaurant. I had the tenderloin Manhattan w/ country green beans. So good! The tenderloin was very tender, seasoned well and the breading was done well. Gravy had great flavor. The green beans were seasoned with onion and bacon, had a slight sweetness. My husband had the salmon patties with mashed potatoes and potato soup! He loved the soup said it was very creamy and had great flavor! He said the Salmon patties were good as well. Our waitress Tiffany was very kind, answered my questions and gave an honest opinion when asked about menu items. Staff seemed to care about our experience and wanted to make sure we were being taken care of. They did a great job being helpful without hovering! All of us enjoyed our food! We will definitely be back. read more

Wow, a great newer spot in Madison County! I actually stumbled across Hoosier Routes on Google Maps looking for a place to eat in the area. The original place we were going to go was closed (as so many places are on Mondays-Wednesday), but Hoosier Routes is open all week! It was a pleasant find and I'm glad we found them. It is located in a renovated historic downtown building. A nice remodeling job on the inside and out. Locally owned by a husband/wife team. It's a small restaurant with a covered outdoor seating area and a classic menu featuring steaks, sandwiches, salads, and entrees. You won't leave hungry - the portions are huge and come with plenty of sides. They have daily specials and desserts as well. I really liked the exposed brick walls and clean interior. The onion petals for dessert are so good. I'm not sure what the dipping sauce is, but it was so good we asked for extra. They also serve Triple XXX Root Beer. Affordable prices and friendly service. The owners were serving as well and out and about talking with customers, and the waitresses were all friendly. read more

Small local restaurant with a great ambience. Limited seating for indoors. Outdoor seating available when weather permits. Saturday night around 6 and we had to wait for a table. Not long. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Our party of 4 shared the onion petals Appetizer , the dipping sauce was fantastic and different from most traditional onion petal sauces. Food came quickly. I was surprised that each meal can with 2 side plus an additional soup or salad and bread. Servings were good size and quality/taste were great. Meals ordered: salmon, chicken sandwich, tenderloin, and fish. Highly suggest the roasted mushrooms as a side. The manager, assistant manager, and waitress all checked on us throughout our meal. Drinks were refilled promptly. I have no complaints or room for improvement, 5 stars. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I have previously eaten here for lunch several times but last night was the first time dining here for dinner. Lunch has always been good. Standard lunch fair; soups, salads, sandwiches, and the like. Oh my goodness, though, their dinner menu is phenomenal. Last night I had their spare rib plate. It's slow cooked, so it's like pot roast. It came with a bread basket, your choice of soup or salad, mashed potatoes, and your choice of another side. I chose the country green beans. The food was absolutely delicious. Home cooking at its best. The portions were huge and the price point wasn't exorbitant. They have a small beer and wine selection. For my drink, I had a watermelon and mint infused Moscato which was their featured wine. My dining partner had the chicken pasta dish. She loved her food as well. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. The owner even stopped by our table and chatted with us. All in all, a great dining experience. read more

Went to Hoosier Routes for the first time with our church group on Wednesday, September 25th. The food was great. We received it just the way we ordered it. The service was top notch. Our waitress was Lilly and she handled 18 people with no problem. She was courteous, friendly, and on the ball. Never had to ask for a refill as she was right there with refills. I told her the service was some of the best we have ever had. It was a very enjoyable lunch. Thanks for making our day so great. read more
