The Alley is literally a converted alley with artwork painted on the buildings, some tables and then some lights hanging above it, but this humble space creates a great little place for people to gather and create a sense of community.

The Alley is literally that: an alley next to the Subway & Pizza King that has multiple tables with bright red umbrellas for comfort. An arching metal gateway spans the entrance from Main Street. On the north wall, student artists (2018) contributed small murals that fill in where windows used to be found in the wall face. One of the pieces includes local muralist Tanner Fernung's character from the animated movie "Up!". On the south wall are larger murals. There are two historic composites of the downtown area done by a local photographer. There is also a pair of giant angel wings (again by Fernung) that are intended for "selfie" photos. However, Fernung is a big man (plays offensive lineman for Manchester University), so the wings and angelic crown are quite high and may require some trick photography to get the wings to line up with your body. The Alley adds a bright spot for locals and visitors to stop and enjoy the artwork and view of the courthouse. It also is a great way to support the local artistic talent in the community.

"Mini" as in - maybe two ounces less than a regular burger, but still pretty substantial and you get two of them! It was great for her to have one there and one to take home. I had the patty melt and it was perfectly greasy and melty. In my opinion, it's not a good patty melt unless you need copious amounts of napkins to eat it, which I did. The onion rings were also good, but the burgers are the stars here. I purchased a caramel Dutch apple pie slice to go. I'm not sure if it's served warm there, but I popped mine in the microwave the next morning and it was heavenly.

I had the Jim Dandy burger, which is double decker. Nothing special, but a perfectly serviceable burger for a casual outing. I especially enjoyed the "special sauce," which seemed to be mayonnaise-based. I got the basket with fries and coleslaw. The fries were hot and crispy, the coleslaw creamy and fresh. Most everyone else in our party got fried chicken, which they reported was very good. When it came time to leave, we couldn't resist getting a caramel apple pie from the very appealing dessert counter. The pie was good, with plenty of nuts and a nice, rich crust. I'd like to return and try more of the desserts, especially the chocolate muffins. Overall, a pleasant if not mind blowing experience at what my family considers a welcome Tipton staple.

We enjoyed everything about this place, the feel, the look of the decor, as well as the service. Very very nice and we've eaten at a lot of restaurants all over the continent but this one takes it all. I've found that all states and countries have their own cuisine and way of fixing it but try to find a tenderloin , it doesn't exist in most places, even California doesn't know about it and here I thought they knew about everything. Trust me, if you want the experience we had you need not look any further but be sure to call in a reservation if there are more to your party and double check that you have reserved, that's always a good habit to acquire. As busy as this place gets you have no one to blame but yourself if you drop the ball, after all, what part of the word "Reserve" don't we all understand. Great place to eat and we'll keep coming back when we're here. Thanks Booker.

The dining rooms are filled with an eclectic blend of farmhouse decor. There is a homey Midwest feel with soft country rock playing in the background. The bar is downright cozy and adorable. The menu offers a mix of burgers and sandwiches. There is also a dinner menu. Our server told us that the burgers and tenderloins are fresh and hand prepared. The tenderloins are a favorite. I had the Bbq burger with fries. The burger was thick and topped with bacon, onion rings and bbq sauce on a Brioche bun. The burger was delicious. In addition, the battered fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They were crispy and not too much salt. The tenderloin was good. The breaded coating was well seasoned and accompaniments were fresh. The staff is welcoming, friendly and attentive. An event room is available for weddings or parties. There is a kids menu. The place is pristine. There is free street parking in front of the restaurant. Bookers is well worth the trip.

The parking lot tailgating before dinner is half the experience. Where else can you sip a drink next to a pickup truck, make friends with complete strangers, and then walk inside to eat a meal that makes you question every life choice that led you to lesser restaurants? The food is absurdly good. The famous Perkinsville Pork deserves its own state holiday. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the menu somehow manages to feel both elevated and unapologetically Hoosier. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chaotic in the best possible way. Everyone having a great time. Come hungry. Come early. Bring a folding chair for the parking lot. Leave wondering why every restaurant isn't this much fun. 10/10.

I can definitely understand why people will tailgate just to get in for dinner. We started off with the meatballs, the pork loin, and the pierogies. The pork loin is a must get, and the other others were delicious as well. For my entrée, I got the pork loin as well because it was so good as an appetizer, and before that I started with the tomato soup, which was also excellent. Addison was our waiter and was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a party of over 10 people and he handled it flawlessly. If you're in the mood for something out of the city in a little bit of a change of pace, I would highly recommend trying here.
