    Brussels appetizer
    Cheryl K.

    Very nice restaurant! We really enjoyed the food and our server, Kelli, was great!!! The pb&j Tator tots were a surprise...not something I would normally get, but very good! Brussels were great too! All 4 of us enjoyed our meals and drinks.

    Wife and I came in for a 6pm reservation. You're greeted by a sign asking you not stay for more than two hours. That's a bit off putting to me. I guess the customer's money has a time limit. Good to know. Check in with hostess and are told we wouldn't be seated for a bit. The kitchen needed a break and to get caught up. Never heard that one before. Should've known by then it wasn't going to be a good experience. Seated relatively quickly however. Our server (who was pretty great overall) took our drink order. She then reiterated we couldn't order for a little while yet. Same kitchen excuse. I told her that the operational issues with the restaurant weren't my problem, but theirs. I questioned why the need to stress that to us. My knock on the server was her excuses for this being it's a scratch kitchen and they make nearly everything. Again, not my problem and an excuse I've never heard before. To the menu. 6 pm on a Saturday seems to be a lousy time to be out of four menu items. The crab bisque my wife ordered. Out. No spring rolls, no stuffed pork chop and no seared ahi tuna. So I asked if there was enough tuna for the poke bowl. She said there was. Told my wife we'd better order it so we could have it. I ordered the beef bison and bacon meatloaf. It was decent and a generous portion. The stout gravy seemed to lack some body but was good. Wife's poke bowl was really good and also a great portion size. Disappointed and can't see a reason for us to make the 45 minute drive to come back.

    Second visit Drinks good but small sized Waitress didn't provide us the nights features we only saw them pass by our table and would have ordered Ordered flat bread and was awfully wet and not crisp would not order again Ordered the chicken entire and it was so small and the potatoes were a disaster Three small pieces of potato no flavor Smash burger was not crispy but more like a typical hamburger Total bill was over 200 and not worth it and the drive there We wish we would have complained but didn't want to impede on our guests Appetizers was good Brussels the only good item Not sure we would come all the way back

    Wow, this place is fantastic! It's been on our list for awhile and we stopped in on a recent Saturday afternoon. All the COVID-19 precautions were in place and they were checking temps at the door. We opted to sit at the bar and had the space to ourselves most of the visit. Once others arrived, social distancing guidelines were observed. We split a flight to try a few beers and were impressed - great beers with a variety of options. We ordered the PB&J tots to start and they were the crispiest tots we've ever had! Now if they could just use some of the spicy jam on the burger, it would take the tots over the top! The mahi Reuben was a fun play on a traditional sandwich and my husband loved his burger. We'll be back - atmosphere is relaxed and trendy, great service and so many more menu items we can't wait to try!

    Baja Chop Salad with Beef
    Jim B.

    We loved it! This was our first time at Ruhe 152. We met friends there. I had a flight of beers to start out and really liked them all. Especially the stouts. We shared a couple of appetizers: - Tempura Deviled Eggs - quite interesting and tasty - Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll - wow, really yummy Dinner: - (me) Seasoned Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich - wow, so good! - (me) Sidewinder Fries - These were great! So much surface area exposed in the fryer. Really tasty! - (wife) Baja Chop Salad with Steak - she enjoyed it Menu: - Very eclectic - Something for everyone Atmosphere and Decor: - Very open, very high ceiling - Modern / astral decor in a general sense, and rustic in some areas - A mix of booths, low and high-top tables and bar area - Party / private dining rooms - Super clean and thoughtful restrooms Staff: - Very pleasant - Very helpful - COVID rules abiding Conclusion: We really enjoyed our time at Ruhe152 and look forward to our next visit.

    The food and the beer are some of the very best in Northern Indiana. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere welcome everyone that enters.

    Salmon plate was super tasty.

    Great trendy, ambiance. Good food and great service. Enjoyed the time we spent there and plenty of stores to look around after. Fun time!

    Very contemporary atmosphere, which is surprising AND refreshing to see in Nappanee! Went with a large group and had great service. Ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees. Most had very good meals, but some lacked the flavor and pizazz that the menu boasted. Appetizers were amazing. Burgers were great! Shrimp and grits fell flat as did a few of the specials. Will order apps and burgers next time. Now for the beer... impressive beer list AND impressive beer! Our large group pretty much consumed most of the beers from their list and most all were on point! Draper is a must have, but so are the majority of them. Good service, food and atmosphere, we will be back! Went back 1/2020 sat at bar- great service from our bartender Ryan! Food and drinks were fantastic! Even better than our first time.

    Pulled pork, Mac 'n cheese with a soft boiled egg on top.   Delicious!!

    Stopped back again in August 4, 2019..... this time we spotted the sushi menu. Unusual for a small town of Nappanee..... but it works !! Very well. We ordered the Tempura Deviled Eggs appetizer again... this time with extra jalapeños on top. The Sriracha sauce on the side makes for a nice dipping sauce. Very tasty. We also ordered the sushi roll. It was a pleasant presentation with the sauces drizzled over it. It was fresh and a nice portion. Enough to share when ordered along with an appetizer..... Definitely a must stop when traveling through (or staying) in Napannee.

    Burnt Brussels
    Hayden S.

    Came for a late lunch when it was not busy. There is adequate parking along the side of the restaurant. Walked in and we were immediately seated. Both front and back of the house service was extremely slow for it not being very busy at all. Atmosphere was unique, clean, and modern. We ordered the burnt brussels for an appetizer. The top half of the bowl was actually pretty good. The bottom half of the bowl was sitting in some kind of brothy sauce. While flavorful, the umami coming through was way too strong. It was over salted almost to the point of being inedible. Orchard salad with added chicken was not bad. The vinaigrette was was too sweet and overpowering. The sweet components also included in the salad made it overall such a sweet salad. It needed some acid and something to balance the sweetness. The Panther Smash was a very average burger. Nothing special at all. Was under seasoned and overcooked. Toppings lacked flavor as well. Overall, I would like to come back and give it another try. Perhaps it was just an off day. It was a neat atmosphere with a decent menu.

    Wasabi deviled eggs - don't miss this. A definite palate pleaser!

    See all

    Was once a great place to eat. Now the food is over priced, the menu is very limited. And the price you pay is not worth it.

    Good sushi and good beers! Worth the drive to Nappanee. The decor is not what you'd expect in Nappanee. Very trendy and sophisticated.
