The great Yelp reviews led us to this little restaurant just west of Crawfordsville. The restaurant…read moreis not fancy, but had a good hometown vibe. When we entered, we were told to sit anywhere. We passed several un-bussed and dirty tables before finding a spot in the back. In general, the place could use a good cleaning and a facelift. They seemed to be understaffed with one server running around. Our service was good with glasses full, orders taken and a covered milk cup for my granddaughter. Food came out relatively quickly. They serve breakfast and lunch. The menu is broad with lots of tempting options. My husband had the patty melt, which he loved. The burger was juicy. The fries were ok. My granddaughter had the kid's chicken tenders with fries. The chicken was battered and delicious. Her meal came with a large glass of milk. It was a winner. I had the BLT. There was a generous portion of bacon on the sandwich, but some of the bacon was undercooked. I ended up pulling out the undercooked bacon. I should have said something, but I didn't want to make a fuss. There's plenty of parking.

After passing this restaurant several times, we decided to go in for breakfast. We were greeted at…read morethe door and told that we could sit where ever we wanted. The restaurant is small and homey. Our server was very friendly and attentive even though she was quite busy! She checked in on us several times while enjoying our food. We ordered coffees while reviewing the menu and decided on the 2 egg basket (2 eggs of choice, toast, choice of meat and hash browns) and the haystack. Our food came out quickly and was hot. This is the perfect breakfast spot, I am looking forward to stopping in for lunch sometime!

The motif is a mix of outdoor and motorcycles. Service either inside or out has always been good. They do have bands on some days. My only complaint is that during our most recent visit, Father's Day, there was no tap beer available outside. Something in my opinion that should never be the case.

Not what I remember. Been a while since I've been there, and apparently, it's changed hands…read more Saturday evening, there's a band, it's busy. All good signs. Good crowd, dinners on tables looked great as we were seated. And waited. Short-staffed, it seemed. The three of us asked for a bit of time to decide. We certainly got that! When server returned in the nick of time, I was ready to leave. Ordered 2 starters and dinners. Prompt service, but very small proportions. I guess if the prices aren't printed on the menu and something like "subject to market pricing" is, that should be a sign. Friend 1 ordered a burger and fries. Good proportions. For him. Friend 2 ordered the cod sandwich and fries. Looked like something one would find on a school cafeteria tray. Me and friend 2 had literally half as many fries as Friend 1. I had ordered the "fish basket". Long John's is a larger meal, at a better price! It was literally a kid's meal. Slaw came out earlier than the meal. Not cold, but cool enough and was OK. Fries were undercooked and warm. NOT hot. The meal literally would not have satisfied an 8 year old. Fish with no smell, other than cooking oil, which smelled OK, but no fish smell? Meanwhile, the guy at the next table had a tenderloin big enough for 2 people, and enough onion rings, too! Server returned, and I sent the meal back. By then, friends were nearly done eating. Server asked why. I explained it calmly. Instead of trying to compensate, I got an argument. I left. I won't be going back. Why 1 of 3 in a party would get a good sized dinner, while the other 2 gets kids' meals is beyond me. And no offer other than "Would you like to order something else?" If we had another hour to kill and someone else to dine with, maybe... but... no. $24 for 2 drinks, a sandwich and fries for a child (maybe...a small child) and 1 small appetizer, to me, is ridiculous. It's a shame, because it was a long drive for us, and it's been a while since I've been well enough to go out and enjoy an evening with friends. I was really looking forward to it, and ended up sorely disappointed. Can't recommend this place any more.

Can't wait to get another one.And there catfish is a favorite among guest. They even have specials every night. And it's not unusual to see the owner helping out. He will take you to your table and even helps bring your food out. Anything he can do to help his staff and to make you comfortable. He is very involved in his restaurant. It's a nice place but not fancy bring the kids. There's always a lot of people here, but not a long wait. There not opened on Sundays and Mondays. But Tuesday through Saturday they do a lunch from 11 to 2 then they close get ready for dinner from 5 to 9 and then Friday and Saturday they are open till 10.

The brisket and pulled pork were great, but the fall-off-the-bone-tender spare ribs are what I'm still dreaming about a week later. Mac and cheese is served with Goldfish crackers sprinkled on top, making it an automatic kid fave. The housemade habanero bourbon sauce takes it over the top - sweet and just spicy enough.

Only five tables, which were filled with bbq lovers. Fortunately, a table opened up while we were waiting. The clerk was salt-of-the-earth friendly and hustled to keep tables clean. Pulled pork plate with baked cabbage and honey coleslaw. The baked cabbage and coleslaw were delicious. The sides are made fresh in-house. The portion of pork is huge. They put 1/2 pound of pork on each plate. I took more than half home for later. The plate comes with 2 pieces of Texas toast if you want to make a sandwich. Four types of house made sauce are on each table. Habanero bourbon sauce is spicy, sweet and was my favorite of their four sauces. I normally love Carolina sauce, but their Carolina sauce tasted overly mustard to me. Parking is tight, especially on Fridays at lunch.
