We have lived in Auburn for a decade and first encountered the Brown House while we were building…read moreour house and would pick up dinner on our work breaks. The food had been consistently good. They have classic mom and pop griddled burgers, decent quality meat, made to order, always hot. You can choose from a plethora of fried goods and an in-house prepared breaded tenderloin that represents a Hoosier tenderloin well. In recent years, the business has been passed down to a younger generation. That came with some modern upgrades in marketing and packaging, including online ordering. The economy as well as new owners, has also made portion sizes smaller (a $3 French fry is now smaller than a small at a typical fast food joint) and the prices have also increased. Ten dollar burgers are standard most places now, but over $15 for a burger meal at a drive thru stand may be hard for some patrons to swallow. The custard and soft serve is delicious, albeit, still not a cheap treat. The staff is always efficient and friendly. The inside appears clean and orderly. The outdoor seating area and the appearance is charming, while still maintaining the old school vibes and nostalgia we all love about the Brown House. It's not an inexpensive meal, but the quality is good, service is consistent, and they still include the peppermint in your sack to round off your meal.

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 visited on a Friday night this summer and waited about 45 minutes to be seated. Unfortunately,…read morethe experience did not improve once we sat down. The interior was pretty dark and outdated. I always try to give the wait staff the benefit of the doubt, but the service was disappointing, rude, and lazy throughout most of the evening. Right out of the gate, the rolled silverware contained a dirty knife, so I had to ask for a clean one. I ordered the broasted chicken, which is something they are known for, but it wasn't very "broasted." It felt like they had cooked too many pieces at once. Additionally, the beans were cold and unappetizing, and the chicken noodle soup tasted ridiculously old. My husband ordered the fish, which was also barely lukewarm and completely flavorless. He mentioned that the rolls might have been the best thing he ate, but even they were pretty yeasty. The garlic toast was also more soggy than crunchy, which was a disappointment. There is free, easy parking right in front of the restaurant, though there is no outdoor seating. Overall, it was relatively lackluster, but if you are really hungry, you can chow it down.

The food is good, but the atmosphere- Windows with white curtains tied with black and white bows line the restaurant. It's an odd thing to note but after listening to the lake customers chat with the owner about how long they've been coming here and how they couldn't wait to return...and the owner thanking the server, the cook, and sharing the history of the restaurant and the area; I felt like I had left a friend's house with a piece of pie in hand when the meal was over. There is a buffet offered at Easter. I understand why. As a couple left they said they'd return for the buffet the next day. It's that kind of home away from home place.
