Great food and great service. Off the beaten path a little but well worth going out of your way to visit. Chicken fried steak and sides are as good as you'll get anywhere. read more

This is a fantastic spot it has been in business for 41 years, according to the shirts a lot of the staff wear. I had lunch on a Tuesday, arrived around 11am, by the time I left after 11:30 the parking lot was full and cars were starting to park on the side of the road. Fantastic home style menu, with fast and friendly service in a cozy atmosphere. I'm pretty sure I was served 3 fresh glasses of pop without having to ask. Fried chicken sandwich was very nice, delicious and a good size. The French fries were very crispy and crunchy, cooked the way I like. No extra seasoning, but I think there are doing something to make those fries crispy and delicious. Worth the stop, but if you can go early or late to avoid the lunch rush. There were fresh made pies, but my sandwich fries and pop filled me up, those pies looked fantastic! read more

Food is always good! Service is always great! They have great burgers great breakfast. I have never had anything bad there.

Always good food! Daily specials and the prices are always reasonable. Staff are quick to serve you even when they are busy. Fried chicken, soups, salads, burgers, and breakfast all day can't be beat really. If you are an ice tea fan they have the best and don't forget dessert! Homemade pies daily by the slice or a whole pie! Yumm! read more

Delicious food anytime of the day. Great service and hometown feel. The regulars get treated like family.

Great family restaurant that's been a part of the community for more than 40 years. Good food and good folks running it. I recommend the breakfast bar on Saturday morning, but let there early or there won't be a place to park. The place fills up fast. read more

Excellent Service and great food. Place us always clean, even their bathrooms too. We also love their specials.

The girl at the front register had a pretty smile. She was very friendly and was glad that you came in. The food was awesome, and I can't wait to go back and try the other items on the menu. read more

Went to The Reservation for dinner tonight upon Chris telling me they serve great food. So I ordered a single quarter pound cheeseburger and fries and he got a double quarter pound cheeseburger with onion rings. Everything was cooked to perfection. The cook Payton was amazing. And our sever Sarah was an amazing server. She had a smile the entire time and answered all of our questions. When it came to desert I had a few choices and went with the peanut butter pie and that was perfect. I will definitely go back again. And if you go be sure to ask for Sarah. She will take care of you. read more

Paid for our meal, then asked the owner if I could speak with him about our service His word to me I dont care what you have to say she is my niece If you dont like it there are plenty places you can eat around here we dont need your business wow if you want to be treated like crap by all means eat at the reservation . Disappointed and disgusted by the behavior of the restaurant owner. read more

First time eating here and it was excellent. I had the best grilled salmon I have ever tasted with sweet potato, salad and sweet tea. Tim had the special: cod, mashed potatoes, reservation beans, coleslaw and Pepsi. He States it was excellent. He liked that the cod did not have heavy breading. We ordered peanut butter cream pie to go. Had to have a taste and I must say, delicious also. Arrived around 3:30. Service was great, friendly and efficient. When we left at 4:30 they were opening the other room to accommodate more customers. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Very nice family dining spot to eat in rural Indiana. Staff members are friendly and efficient. Great biscuits and gravy, lunch special is usually a meat, potato, veggie, and one other side for 8.95. I love the breakfast scramble- no mushrooms (they're canned, yuck) Gotta get a side of gravy to put on top! They are no longer open on Sundays. read more

In small town Milan Indiana, this is a cozy little restaurant, decor is is spectacular and service great! As this is the only go to restaurant in the area for miles. Keep up the great work! read more

Unfortunate that a couple one-time diners with very specific complaints (my food was cold-- send it back?), (restaurant wasn't clean enough for my standards-- and flies do tend to drop like themselves after all?) dropped a five-star Yelp average down to four stars. As the other reviewer put it, this place has been a local favorite for many years. They have homemade desserts, they have a house special dinner every day, a wide menu selection, and significant creativity for a family-style restaurant. All that and cheap enough to compete with fast food, I'm taking a group after a funeral, hadn't been in several years and was checking their hours on Yelp-- had to post a review when I saw they'd been unduly slammed on their average. EDIT- Went in there with a group of about seven and we sat at the big round table in the back. They've done extensive renovations since the last time I was there with a Western theme. Place looked spotless. I had the full pound cheeseburger and it was probably one of the best burgers available in Greater Cincinnati that didn't come special ordered with a fried egg on it. read more

Great staff. Great breakfast. I stopped in with a group of 7 guys and they did a great job taking care of us. We loved the wood burning fire place. read more

Been coming here my entire life. There have lots of changes since 1983. Great daily special with sides. Cod and chicken have good crispy coating. Mac and cheese is a good choice for a side. They have traditional steak hoagies that I can only get in the north. Paired with onion rings make a great meal. They have an amazing dessert display that holds a fantastic banana cream pie! Affordable food in a friendly atmosphere read more

This is, by far, the best place to come eat if you are in Southeast Indiana. The business is a family one that shows that family and faith are the ingredients to a successful business recipe. Wide menu choice and friendly wait staff exist at this diner that is especially busy on the weekends. They have a breakfast buffet now in the mornings on weekends that has true value for their favorites. One of the waitresses makes homemade pies for your selection, and can even make whole pies for take-home! Comes with my highest recommendation. read more

We absolutely love eating here! Great food and even better service They have the best sweet tea, love the reservation beans and chicken!

This place to eat! Great service. The owners will always have the most special place in my heart! I have eaten from breakfast to lunch. Like it all. But my very favorites r fish tail sandwich. And their Alfredo pasta is to die for. Keep up the good work ! Thank you for all the tummy harmony you provide! read more

Food was absolutely delicious and plentiful for a reasonable rice. Service was friendly and quick. Can't wait to go back for more!

This place has been a staple of the Milan community for many many years. It has consistently provided a great place for locals and those traveling through to feast. I've been extra impressed recently too seeing all the wonderful updates to the place and with their menu. They not only have great traditional home cooked meals but also fun things like the southwest chicken wrap - which is my favorite. Highly recommend anyone is Southeast Indiana stop in here for a meal! read more

This is our goto local restaurant, great food and all of the servers are so friendly. Sundays are so busy after church that there are few, if any parking spots andx we sometimes park on the road. Very popular place and they deserve it, highly recommend! read more

Good food but NOT clean. Dead flies in the window sills and grimy floors. I would hate to see what the back looks like if they were that careless about the front of the house. Good service though. read more

Nice hometown place, breakfast, lunch, and dinner is fantastic. Try the chicken wrap with homemade ranch. Good service and great pie

The food here is outstanding. I typically get the grilled chicken salad and it is worth every penny you pay. Shelly is a fabulous waitress and is always coming by the table to check on you. There has been a few times we had Mel as our waitress and we had to track her down to get boxes and the check. Other than that I love the restaurant and would recommend it to anyone. read more

Stumbled upon this home-cooking restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. We were passing through and wanted to experience a local place. So pleased with this find. All the staff we encountered were extremely friendly. It was a Thursday afternoon (10/11/18) around 1:30 and the place was pretty full. The food came out hot and fairly quick. We asked the server what she would recommend because we wanted to experience what the locals enjoy. She recommended several local favorites and we settled on the Cod sandwich with tater tots and the fiesta chicken wrap with onion rings and two iced teas. Everything was very good. They had a display of delicious looking homemade pies but unfortunately we both were too full to partake. Was very tempted to take one for the car but I talked myself out of it. (Darn!). I hope you get to experience this quant restaurant, in what seems like the middle of nowhere, and enjoy this place. We left feeling a little less stressed from the normal hustle and bustle of so many restaurants. Enjoy! read more
