Good people, great food, great prices. (I mean coffee is only a buck fifty! I will say it's probably not as strong as many people like it but it's still good). I've read some other reviews about how it needs updated and such. But that's what makes it cool. I've read were some people say it's not clean, nothing could be farther from the truth! There is some clutter, but it's clean. It's a local family making some great food at affordable prices. 2 of us ate with coffee for under $20. If you're a breakfast person this is your first stop!

It's a few minutes off the highway, but certainly doesn't feel like you're in Gas City, IN. It looks like they added on an outdoor space recently. Nothing too extravagant, but nice enough for lunch. A nice younger man took care of us on the patio. The menu was quite eclectic and unique. The tortilla chips and cold bean dip was a great way to start. Both our soups were fantastic....cheddar cheese for one and leek soup the other. Fish and chips hit the spot and apparently a fan favorite. My wife had the club sandwich of GF bread. Great little local spot if you're ever in the area.

As soon as we came in the door and looked around, someone at a table by the entrance told us we could just sit anywhere. If you are looking for fancy, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you are looking for a place where the food is amazing, the portions are large and the prices are incredibly reasonable, this is just the right place. Our server came over and greeted us quickly and brought our drinks right away. I came in with a friend and we did have one big problem. The menu is so full of great options, we had a hard time deciding. I had read many reviews on the place and decided to go with what they recommended. We both ordered the tenderloin sandwich. I got mine with just mayo and my friend got hers with mayo, tomatoes and lettuce. We split an order of fries between us and they were kind enough to just put half on each of our plates. Not that there was a lot of extra space on the plate because the tenderloin was huge. The sandwich came out super fresh and hot. It was lightly breaded and well seasoned. But what stood out to me most was that even though it was fried, it was not greasy. At all. We both thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches. We were going to try a piece of the key lime pie but I had already ordered one for my husband to go so we ended up sharing a piece of the sugar cream pie. It's the Indiana state pie. Since I'm from Georgia, this is all new to me and I had never had it before. The crust was very flaky. I ate it all. And as someone that doesn't normally like the crust on pie, that says it a lot. The filling was denser than a custard and sweet. It was good. But my favorite was the key lime pie. I had a bite when I dropped off my husband's to go order at his office. The key lime pie crust was amazing and the filling had just the right amount of tart to it. Delicious. I am looking forward to coming back and absolutely recommend others try it. I still have so many menu items I want to try. Come in. And come in hungry because this place is guaranteed to make your tummy full and happy.

Located in Sweetser, Indiana right by the Sweetser Switch Trailhead (which leads into the Nickel…read morePlate), the Sweetser Cafe is a breakfast/brunch smalltown diner where locals gather, non-locals don't feel out of place, the food is good, and the welcome is warm. I stopped by on my Tenderness Tour because I was dragging a bit for the day and wanted to pick up an iced tea. Taking a camera crew (this tour was filmed from beginning to end) was a little awkward, however, the locals tolerated my presence quite nicely and I was able to have a great conversation with owners and employees about everything I was doing - a couple even donated to the cause and we got a great photo or two! The food here leans toward breakfast - like most breakfast/brunch joints - and this wasn't my first time here as I'd been here on a previous tour. Pricing is fair and definitely below an awful lot of Indy's brunch joints. While Sweetser Cafe doesn't have a website (that I'm aware of), they do have a social media presence and I do know they serve black angus beef, have daily specials, and are locally owned. Sweetser, Indiana is a smaller town of just about 1,000 in Grant County and is a great place to start for those tackling the Cardinal Greenway (Indiana's longest rail-trail). If you stop in Sweetser, you stop at Sweetser Cafe (at least before 2pm).

The facility is not overly attractive or inviting. You have to decide which door to use depending on which business you are frequenting. I didn't see any signs for the outdoor seating to direct you to the hostess. The parking lot is large with lots of spaces up close. We were here for food so we picked the door to Grains & Grill. The host was very friendly and kind. The inside looked welcoming. The journey to get to the outdoor seating was a bit of a maze. There seems to be plenty of comfortable indoor seating though it is kind of broken up in disjointed rooms. The outside area was nice. The over hang shielded us from the sun in our evening dinning hours. I found the tables to be a bit close together. There was another party next to our table so we had to be cautious about moving chairs to get situated. The outdoor chairs have a flexible plastic seat. The seat seemed to give more than made me comfortable. The chair seemed a bit flimsy. However, it was comfortable and didn't collapse on me. We started with the fried mushrooms. There were a LOT of small mushroom tips in this order. The batter was thicker and a bit mushy. There wasn't much seasoning flavor to the batter but it wasn't greasy to taste. The mushrooms seemed fresh. The dish was fairly good. The cocktail sauce had a decent amount of zip to it. My wife had the blackened fish tacos. Two came with the order. She loved the fresh taste. Definitely not a fishy taste. Delicious she said! I decided to try the Hoosier Hot Plate. It seemed like a house speciality...so why not! The tenderloin was outstanding! The pork was moist and juicy and moderately thin. The breading was nicely crunchy and moderately thick with a slight greasy taste. Maybe the best tenderloin I have ever had! The tenderloin was laid on top of a bed a real mashed potatoes. You could tell they were real by the lumps I bone smooth consistency. These were excellent as well. Just like mashed potatoes should be that were going to accent the meat. The tenderloin was topped with a creamed corn. I would have been disappointed if this creamed corn was the side dish. It was kind of bland and didn't have much of a corn taste. It was also rather mushy. I didn't think the corn added much taste to the tenderloin/mashed potato taste. Overall...it was an interesting dish that was worth a try.
