Excellent food. Excellent service and excellent cooks. Hole in the wall with fun ambiance. In the back of the Cowan pharmacy, just a sandwich board on the street letting you know the special of the day. Table and bar seating. Serve breakfast until they close but the lunch is awesome too. read more

This spot may be the definition of a little hidden gem. It has textbook small town charm including friendly servers, locals who are on a first name basis with the staff, an old school pharmacy and Hallmark store in the front of the building, and great food. They offer daily specials, and though they serve breakfast through their 2:00 closing, we ordered lunch. The Patty Melt was perfectly done - locally sourced beef, onions, special sauce on grilled rye with fries (my preference would have been for the onions to be cooked a bit more but it was still delicious). The chili cheeseburger was served in a bowl on a pretzel roll with fries. All delicious! We got dessert to go - Apple pie and pistachio muffins. Can't wait to try these this evening. Our first visit was a big success and we are already looking forward to going back! read more

Date of visit: July 12, 2024 We stopped here on the way down to South Carolina for a funeral. I was looking for something simple and easy, comfort food given the reason for our visit down south. The cafe is not very large, or very fancy, but the staff was incredibly accommodating, including providing some things to do for the little ones in our group that were starting to get restless. The food was just okay, and while not really anything that I couldn't have done at home, the price was good and the location is in the middle of a super cute downtown area that reminded me of the town from Back to the Future (it's that cute!). One downside? The bathroom reminds me of something out of a lower-end gas station and definitely needs some help. read more

Just opened!!! The Cupboard is the diner located in Cowan's Drugstore on the Square in Lebanon (replacing Max's Cupboard which closed last December). The small dining room has had a face lift with fresh floor, paint and table cloths, but maintains the small town charm of a locally owned business. One of the co-owners, Dan Cheech was cooking during our visit. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch and offers daily specials. They bake fresh pies, scones and cinnamon rolls daily. You can get a burger, tenderloin or chicken sandwich but the show stopper was the BLT, which is generously covered in "B". I had the Crispy Chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was breast meat in a very crispy batter served on a fresh brioche roll. The fries were crispy crinkle cuts and I was happy they were lightly salted. The daily special was a Sloppy Joe with fries for $8. The sandwich was served on a brioche roll with a generous portion of sloppy Joe and fries on the side. The Lemon Custard pie was homemade with a light crust and very sweet with a light cream topping. Service was great, Caitlyn checked on us frequently. Food and beverages came out quickly. The place filled up quickly with locals, so get there early. They do pick-up orders if you want. Parking can be tough, but you can usually find a spot on the square. read more

My wife and son wanted a great place for brunch, we arrived and were seated quickly. The Cubbard was full. The server took are drink order and told us about the specials for the day. Server did a good job taking order and making sure food was to order. Food was served hot and as requested. The owner stopped by to check to make sure everyone was happy with the meals. Excellent food at a fair price. Excellent customer service. read more

for some reason post google post didn't post for some reason but i digress:saw this email on your reviews so i thought i would talk right to the owner rather than right another review you may or may not see.i brought my mother there yesterday because she heard good things about your tenderloins,so we ordered (2-tenderloins) waited and wait and waited my mom made the response and said "look how many orders are up just sitting there" well i guess someone in the kitchen heard her and made the comment "so what's your point!"very rude if i say so myself,finally our food was brought out after sitting here for 40 min and no surprise our food was barely lukewarm after sitting there for 10 min!!the place was very busy but to have 1 dam waitress handling all the tables is absurd when you expect her to take the orders then bring the orders and ohh and the kicker is to cash people out while they wait 10 min. more minutes for that to happen!!ive been in the restaurant business for 20 yrs and never have i ask "1 person to do that" just ridiculous to her and the customers you think your providing adequate customer service to because let me tell you the customers werent happy!!instead of letting the food just sit there in the window getting cold you should have a "runner" taking people their food when its hot and fresh not sitting there just getting cold!!a waitress should "never" have to do it all while the patrons just wait because shes so backed up!!when i spen 40 dollars i expect much better service and quality of food, there are too many other places to go for lunch then to deal with a restaurant that is short staffed in the front of house.....either someone can fix this or if i experience this again or find out other people have ill just make sure everyone reads my initial post....just horrible customer service all around and it wasnt the waitress fault it was the cheap owners work! read more

The Cubbard serves a very satisfying BLT. The menu description states six strips of bacon, but the lettuce and tomato were straining to be seen past the mound of bacon on this sandwich. What a perfectly proportioned amount of ingredients between to delicious slices of bread. The accompanying fries were crinkle cut, hot and plentiful. The service was great and quick. The dining area is cozy and comfortable in that you feel like one of the regular customers. Next time I need to try the "Daily Special", which seems to fly out of the kitchen. read more

The Cubbard - BLT - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lebanon, Indiana

This little place is amazing! I took three young children for lunch and it was great! I had the famous tenderloin. It was even better than when I tried it six years ago! The seasoning was perfect and it was not greasy. The ingredients were high quality and fresh. The kids enjoyed the pebble ice in their drinks. The servers worked together to make the experience smooth and they were all knowledgeable of the menu. The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly. The restaurant and the bathroom are very clean! We will be back for sure! I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

The food and service were fabulous. We got the tenderloin and it was massive! AND delicious! read more

The Cubbard - Today's special...tenderloin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lebanon, Indiana

Great and affordable food, cool vibe, and down-to-earth servers. I'd eat at The Cubbard every day if I could!

Stopped here for lunch today. Known the owner for about a year now and finally had a moment. Got the fried chicken wrap with no lettuce. I love a place that offers cottage cheese. It's my favorite food I swear. The warp was huge and delish and all the servers were so sweet. read more

The place is unique and nastoglic with great food and very friendly owner and staff. It's small but easily handled our group of 9.

We wanted a small local restaurant for breakfast. It was a bit tough to find, look for the local pharmacy/hallmark store. in the back is a cute little cafe. Very friendly service. Amazing biscuits and gravy. Soft fluffy biscuits with homemade gravy. we will stop again. read more
