Service and ambiance was great we got there at the end of the buffet that was out but the chicken was still good and great desserts!

Place didn't match any of the photos on Google at all.... Bar? Hahaha. Nonseasoned food...old person after church restaurant but it's just about as good as that. Honestly super underwhelming after walking in from the Google page....the food as pretty bad read more

We walked in at the same time as a couple of locals and we were a party of 4 at almost 3:00 in the evening and the 1 waitress gave them menus as we sat at our table right next to them. And walked away from their table and said absolutely nothing to us and went to wrapping silverware. We walked out right past 3 employees behind the bar and no one said a word.... VERY DISAPPOINTED in you, Chateau! read more

I would have tried the food here, but the bad taste of indifference and being ignored left a horrible taste. Visiting the area we saw this restaurant and decided to stop. While waiting for 10min for someone to come seat us or direct us to which room to sit. We saw two gentlemen stocking the buffet. One wearing a grey t-shirt and the other wearing a blue shirt. We saw each other multiple times and nobody was alerted or came forward to talk to us. Not being from here, and never being ignored by restaurant staff I was not sure of proper etiquette. I asked my wife if I should try hog calling to get someone's attention. My wife thought that would not be classy and would bring ourselves down to the restaurant's rude behavior. If you are from out of town traveling and hungry, I suggest you choose any other restaurant. If you follow the road towards Santa clause or keep going into Dale there are plenty of restaurants, Even Denny's which was very friendly, seated us right away, smiled at us and didn't ignore us for ten minutes. So in conclusion, I can only guess that the staff was either lazy, feckless, rude, or a combination of the three. They don't want your money, so give it to a business that can use it and wants to provide friendly service to earn it. read more

The service was fantastic, and the restaurant is actually owned by one of my family's old classmates. It felt like I was having dinner at one of my aunt's places. This restaurant is an excellent choice for an area with limited dining options. Our food arrived quickly, even though there were over 15 of us there for a family gathering. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. The service was very friendly and quick. Ordered the chicken Alfredo and the chicken was very tender ! The Philly cheese steak sandwich was very tasty. Will come back when in the area. read more

The Chateau was a perfect pub near the St. Meinrad campus to stop in for a bite before we hit the road. This was a locals bar on one side and a locals restaurant on the other side. Simple, homestyle food options with low prices. The waiters seemed to be the bartenders and food runners. They know pretty much everyone who walked in the door. A great stop if you love low key, hidden gems and want something that makes you feel like your mom cooked it. We will be back! read more

Stopped by on a road trip, good food and service! Catfish was excellent, fried chicken was good too! read more

What a great place to eat and hang out with friends! One side is a nice Resturant and the other is a bar. The bar reminds me of Cheers. I am from out of state and met my friend here for dinner.. He told me this is the local hang out. He recommended the Chateau burger and it's mouthwatering just thinking about it now. I also had German fries and some cocktails. Great place to stop in and have a couple drinks with friends or eat a wonderful meal! I hear they have great steaks! read more

Kaetlyn was amazing! I told here I was bringing a few people over 30 min. before closing and she was overwhelmingly surprised by the 22 people I brought in...on a Wednesday eve. What a fun environment, great food/drinks, amazing people in Mariah Hill, IN. We will gladly recommended next year's group to visit. #BeSureToAskForTheJP read more

See all

4* for the food. Pretty yum! 0* for the people in the back wishing loudly that everyone would get the f*ck out with 1 hour left before closing...with kids still in the restaurant. Should have taken the other reviews seriously. Classy. Averages to 2* read more

Great family restaurant and a fantastic bar. It's a great choice for a burger and coke (or beer!) if you are near down. The jalapeños poppers are well poppin'! read more

In an area that has just about every fast food chain and loads of pizza restaurants you can imagine this place was a bright star. The menu is typical pub food. They have a full bar. Everything is fresh and the specials are what you should order. They also have a buffet menu and salad bar. The owners are really great at taking care of their customers and truly appreciate the business. read more

Went in at 7pm with my family and there wasn't anyone on the dining room. We waited for 10-15 minutes and no one so I went into the bar to get someone and was told to pick a spot in the dining room. We sat in the dining room for another 15 minutes while we overheard the people in the back talking rudely about us being the only ones here and how they had to get everything going again for us. Waitress never showed up and we left. Wouldn't recommend read more

Awesome bar. Went there late on a Thursday evening when I was passing through town and they were totally chill. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Stopped by this restaurant while we were staying at the nearby campground. Great burgers, chicken salad sandwich and fried chicken. Great service. Very reasonable prices. We highly recommend! read more

I went here with my brothers and sister-in-law during a road trip. We ate at the Family dining area and enjoyed ourselves for sure. The food is relatively cheap for it's quality. The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich I got was mouth watering. Overall it's a very cozy restaurant and I would recommend it for the family or even with a couple buddies if you're in the area. read more

Chateau has become our standard. Locals are great, bartenders are awesome, kind and enjoyable to chat with and the food is consistently good. Beer and poppers are the standard fare for us on a Friday night after work....LOVE the poppers! read more

Our coach stopped here for lunch after we'd been to The Ark Encounter. We had 50 people, and they had our buffet ready, and handled everything efficiently. The fried chicken is outstanding, and that's a lot of chicken for 50 people. If you're a tour director, don't hesitate to set up a stop here. They've got this. read more

I took my grand daughter to Holiday World and when we were deciding what to do for dinner she requested a "burger joint". We found The Chateau and it more than lived up to its yelp rating. Excellent burger! Next year we're coming back with the whole family for sure. Highly recommend! read more

The chateau was very clean. Our waitress was super friendly and fast. My husband and I each got the chateau burger. It was so good. We will be going back!! read more

We had a group of 22 friends who came to the Château late one Thursday evening, and we called the Château right before they closed to see if they could accommodate us. They welcome us with open arms, with excellent service, great beverages and a quaint atmosphere. I would highly recommend this establishment!!! read more

We had gotten the buffet and it was delicious. We also had the bloody marys and they were good. The sweet tea here was just as good as it is down south. read more

The Chateau is family restaurant on one side, bar on the other. I went first to the family room side. One table was occupied, a large one with a couple of screaming children. There was a sign that said "please register with hostess. " I waited a very long time. There was no hostess. With the combination of screaming children and no hostess, I decided to try the bar side. I took a seat. Again waited and waited. I was seen but never greeted or even acknowledged. After waiting again for a very long time, I bailed. This place has been in business for a very long time. How?!?!?! Nearby Ferdinand Indiana has some very good places to eat. Go there and avoid the Chateau. read more

Excellent Resturant and great food. If you are looking for a place to eat after leaving Holiday World or staying at Lake Rudolph this is the place. It is close only 3 miles away. It's hands down better than anyone in the town is Santa Claus, IN. This is my 7th time to Santa Claus, IN and Lake Rudolph and I wish we found this place years ago. The Brick oven Pizza place is absolutely disgusting don't waste your time or money go straight to The Chateau. They had a full menu from burgers to steaks to chicken wings. Food was served hot and fresh and prices where excellent. I will be back for sure. read more

Good in a pinch. Boys loved food bar. Desserts are homemade. Lighting is questionable. Servers are delightful. Portions are big.

We've been to Holiday World a few times and never had such a great dining experience as we had at the Chateau. They were very accommodating to our larger group and the food was great! We liked the Chateau burger a lot. The prices are good for the amount of food you get. Bang for your buck! Highly recommend. read more

We found this gem of a place thanks to yelp. Saturday night buffet was great & discounted price for kids. Everything was good, but by far our favorite was the chicken n' dumplings. read more

Tried to stop here at noon on a Saturday. Not open. Too bad. Looked pretty good. A bit of a drive off of the interstate.

The menu at this place looks great but unfortunately we ended up leaving without service... We waited about 20 minutes to get a table even though nobody was in front of us and there were plenty of tables to sit at. Once we did sit down we waited 10 to 15 minutes for a server to come and one never did... They were severely understaffed... The one waitress was working so hard but she just could not keep up... The owner or manager really needs to better staff this restaurant. read more

Excellent little hometown restaurant and bar! We were on vacation and asked several Holiday World employees where the best place to eat was and they all said The Chateau and their faces lit up. They even stayed open for us when we called and said we were on our way but would arrive right at 9 when they close. The "Chateau Burger" was recommended to us, and it was delicious, with an incredible piece of meat on it. Also of note are the German fries and fresh salad bar that featured a delicious homemade chicken noodle soup the night we were there. Brian, who works the bar, was extremely friendly and accommodating. We went there 2 nights in a row because we were so pleased! You must go there is you are in Santa Claus, Indiana! read more

This family operated restaurant was recommended by a local hotelier - as the best in the area. It was a very pleasant little place with a dining room and a bar room. We were struck by the pleasant demeanor of all staff - from the owner/manager to the young waitresses. We were served by all, including the bartender. Both my wife and I commented about the effusiveness of the waitresses who clearly appeared to enjoy their work and one another. Not busy when we were there, but very accommodating. We found our experience taking place in a clean, well run establishment. Decent, though not overwhelming selection of beers. We eschewed the buffet in favor of the a la carte menu choices. Poppers were your basic deep fried version from a frozen bag, I'm sure - good enough and the order was 7 or 9 poppers in an order. My wife had a basic Ham 'n Cheese sandwich and it was just that - a basic sammie. French fries were good. The waitress waxed effervescently about the Chateau Burger when asked for a recommendation. It was as advertised - a juicy, flavorful 1/2 pound cooked-to-order burger topped with bacon and the usual suspects. I'm a lettuce-tomato-mayo guy so it hit the spot. I added the German Fries which were equally exceptional and the Cole Slaw which was both creamy and tart - again, well described by our waitress from Monkey Hollow. Not exactly upscale food, but they're not trying to be. Good basic, downhome, unpretentious food. After a day at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, we left happy, fat and sassy. read more

Came in with low expectations due to the few customers. My appetizer, mozzarella sticks, were incredibly average but not bad. But my main course, a chateau burger with a side of waffle fries was both very affordable at about $6.25 for the burger and $2.50 for the side of waffle fries and amazing tasting. It was easily one of the best burgers I've had in a restaurant in a while. The interior was very homely and comforting and the staff was very kind. If you're in holiday world at lake Rudolph, or even just in the area, I'd strongly recommend coming to the chateau. If you're looking for affordable but great tasting food, this is the place to be. 4.5/5 read more

16 oz tbone was good. The food took waaaay to long though. Price was fantastic. Coleslaw was tasty as well.

Definitely a better choice in the area but still a far cry away from a good restaurant. Loved the old school salad bar. The grilled chicken sandwich was pretty good but not served with swiss cheese as advertised. It was some kind of processed cheese. Service was friendly. I ordered a glass of white wine and was served a glass of chilled red wine!? Only pie for dessert. Again...relative to Subway, a million pizza places, Denny's and a gas station this is the best you will do. read more

Poor service, no silverware, greasy food. Not worth getting off the highway though the standard does seem to be quite low around here

Decent looking buffet but felt like buffet food quality was poor. Not a place I will visit often
