Before I begin my review, I would be remiss to mention those skeptical souls who think of Lil'…read moreCharlie's, not as a beacon of culinary excellence or a palace of palatial pleasures, but a den where dwell the foulest demons of ignorance of cooking. Charles Baudelaire, before whom I bow as a servant to a master, once said "On peut juger de la vertu d'un homme à ses goûts en matière de nourriture". Well, he technically said no such thing, but I wish he would have. Baudelaire would have smited upon the tongue those fanatic cretins who maintain and uphold the absurd opinion that Lil' Charlie's (Heaven banish the thought!) is a bad restaurant. I have heard many of my fellows complain of stomachaches and nausea accompanying a trip to this paradise of cookery. Alas! they exaggerate their sufferings, seeking to blame Lil' Charlie's for their own puerile digestive system. For those who criticize the food itself, I have no words. Indeed, I must restrain my tongue; for no fire burns too hot for them, no poison good enough to scorch their iniquitous throats, no--but I must hinder my rash flow of words: justice makes me speak thus. Now I shall presume to speak of the menu. Presume, because who can hope to accomplish the feat of expounding, in mere human words, the transcendence that is the cooking of Lil' Charlie's? I feel as Dante felt when, looking into the eyes of his lady-love Beatrice (oh! those luminous eyes 'lucent-weeping from the dayspring'!), he laments his inability to capture the beauty of it in words. To use Browning's phrase: "Poor the speech; be how I speak for all things". If Browning stumbles in his speech, what can I hope to say? Nevertheless, I set sail in uncertain waters, trusting that my words may carry me through. The food itself is the platonic ideal of perfection. The pork sandwich, Homeric in its proportions, leaves no hungry waif unsatisfied. The chicken wings come in divers seasonings. Jamaican Jerk? Parmesan and garlic? Classic Buffalo? Lil' Charlie's has you covered. The salads are a pleasant meal in themselves; one cannot eat them without conjuring up images of sunny pastorals or the Ecologues written by Theocritus, where joy-drunk shepherds recite their bucolic verses to one another. I shall go so far as to compare the summer salad to a painting by Watteau. Such is the magical power wielded by the chefs of Lil' Charlie's. The one stain upon the pure tapestry woven by the Muses themselves may be said to be the Father Franz Chili. It was rather too oily and contained NO beans! Absurd! Maddening! All in all, it was still a somewhat palatable meal. I must end my paean to Lil' Charlie's without praising the many other attractive features that lend it lustre. The atmosphere is homey and attractive; the tables are as clean and polished as a verse by Virgil. I blush with shame that I cannot hymn the staff, angels of culinary perfection, as is fit. All I can add is that Heaven shall reward them the highest sphere among its many mansions. And, to you one young man who laments the time it takes to receive your food (you know your name, oh unfortunate one!), all I can wish is for your tongue to cleave to your jaws and your liver to pour forth upon the earth. Let your voice be silenced ever and anon. FINIS

I was thrilled when I realized it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying! They do an incredible job creating unique, fruit-forward beers. They even make a sour IPA that tastes almost like a margarita--bright, refreshing, and not overly hoppy at all. A flight was the perfect way to try several flavors. The food portions were huge! We ordered the brisket nachos and a mushroom burger without realizing the burger was a double. It was so much food, and everything was delicious. The beer, food, and experience absolutely lived up to two years of anticipation. We will definitely be back!

My girlfriend ordered a Bloody Mary for her drink and we got the Loaded Pulled Pork Fries for an appetizer. The fries were tasty, only complaint is they could've used more of the BBQ sauce due to the pork being a bit bland on its own. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. The Bloody Mary was good, not the best she had ever had but it was good. She really enjoyed the "snacky snacks" on the top. We then ordered the Margherita pizza. It came out looking visually great. Upon tasting it was a tasty pizza. Would we order it again, I don't think so, but that is because it just isn't our normal go to. It was nice to try and a pleasant experience. When we eventually return we will try a different pizza and hope to enjoy it better.

The place was fairly busy, and the musician was setting up. We were seated at the bar because we were hungry and thought, in error apparently, that the service would be quicker. The Fish Moon beer was pretty good so we both got a glass of a lager type beer. The appetizer (poppers) were served fairly quickly and I thought they would good ... not too hot/spicy. Our order was a burger and catfish sandwich with onion rings. It was a really really long wait to get our food... we had been there for 90 minutes before the entree was delivered. Our bar seats were at the end of the bar... every time someone walked in or out of the kitchen (30 feet behind us) or anywhere near the bar the floor shook like there were elephants passing by.... it was unnerving. One nice thing was that the music was pretty good. However, given the lack of good service and mediocre food, my SO will never go back.

I was in Rush County in my quest to spend some time in each of the 92 counties in Indiana and "get…read morea feel for" the respective communities. Part of that is to take a look at the county courthouse, their library system, and any notable natural spaces in the area. I also do some research on the restaurants, coffeeshops, bakeries or other signature spots that might be in the area. One such spot was Fish Moon Brewing. First off - great name. It's fun, quirky, and they used the moon motif throughout their space (pun intended). As for the restaurant itself, this is my kind of place. Open, with subdued lighting, and just enough of the moon paraphernalia to keep you interested without being overwhelming. It reminded me of a German beer hall - in a good way. I opted for the Portobello mushroom & Swiss burger, which had a rich flavor, and I didn't miss a bite. It was served up with their pub chips, which were just perfect. I had a wonderful beer, too, which was a twin berry and just the right blend of flavor. What's more, it worked well for the hot afternoon. I was a little confused about the beer selection, however. When I asked about what beers they offered, my server just listed them off. I generally like having an opportunity to take a look at a list and see if there is something I haven't tried before, especially when visiting for the first time. That would be my only critique: to have a current list of your beers and maybe a little description. All told, this is a gem for Rushville and it's placed in a great location. Highly recommended.

Hog Molly's is everything I like about a brewery, delicious beer, particularly their Rushin' Record Imperial Stout and Remember the Tartans Scottish Ale, beverages for non-beer drinkers, a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, and super cool, friendly, fun staff (Sarah was a blast to chat with). My only knock is that they're 10 hours away from me. And that's really a me problem. We had so much fun. I recommend visiting early and often.

I did half a glass of the 2-a-days lemon IPA (this beer is sooo refreshing & perfect for the summer) and I had the rest of the glass of the Mangonero IPA which has just a tiny kick of spice that adds a nice flavor without overdoing it. The Morning Workout Coffee Stout was also sooo good!! They have a nice little courtyard if you want to hang outside, games, and a small kitchen (we didn't get food as the kitchen was closed). Overall, I would recommend & wish I was closer because the beer was

The crust is thin and crispy, and the toppings were fresh. For dessert we took home two cookies: one chocolate chip and one snickerdoodle. Yum! The cookies were huge, soft, and oh so good!

Only items holding back from a 5th star in my rating are that their prices seem high for burgers and the occasional issue with their H&C system. The air from their ventilation has generally not been an issue at most of the tables we have been seated at, although they have not fixed it for the tables north of the bar near their stage. So if you would prefer to not have dry-eyes, avoid the couple of tables near the stage (which also would avoid the constant line of traffic of servers navigating to/from the kitchen).
