The expanded bar area makes a huge difference, giving it more room to hang out comfortably whether you're grabbing a quick drink or staying awhile. One of my favorite features is their private room--it's perfect for a small party or get-together without feeling disconnected from the rest of the energy in the bar. And the food... don't skip the kettle chips with horseradish sauce. Seriously. They're a must-order every time--crispy, flavorful, and that sauce has just the right kick. I make it a point to stop in every time I'm back in town, and it never disappoints. Consistently great, every single visit.

I ordered the hand cut and marinated pork sandwich breaded. House made chips and dip with coleslaw. Service has been great and a friendly atmosphere and a lot of local sports teams featured on the walls. Tenderloin review: the tender wine is really good very tender and well seasoned and perfectly breaded, not too much breading and served on a toasted bun. The homemade chip dip is wonderful as a can of horseradish in it. As well the chips ate teally good, could use a bit of seasoning salt but overall good taste. Only service glitch was I had to ask for drink refills and condiments I asked for when I placed my order. Lots of Jackie Young pictures and artifacts, she played basketball here and went on to Norte Dame to play as well.

Service was provided by extremely friendly women. Grill closes at 12:30 and GPS showed we were set to get there at 12:33. We called from the middle of farmland while we were on our way because we were fearful we would miss the opportunity to eat here. But thankfully, the wonderful woman who answered the phone took our grill order and when we got there, it was waiting for us. We opted for burgers - me a double cheeseburger and my friend a triple hamburger - and the homemade potato salad. The burgers were huge. Honestly we each could've had a single burger and it would've been plenty. Lots of information, including their extensive menu, on their website. Be advised that they do not take cards. Cash only.

The interior features table seating, some coolers with ice cold Coca-Cola (and Pepsi, RC Cola for those wanting more options) and other soft drinks, a kitchen area and of course, walls littered with amazing vintage farming advertisements, thermometers, antique tractors, etc. This place takes me back to my childhood, growing up in a small town with nothing more than a grocery store and some grain elevators. A Midwest mom and pop joint, one of the finest I've set foot in. The folks working in the store were friendly and welcoming. After getting our drinks, we ordered entrees consisting of a double cheeseburger and Cajun cheese fries, as well as a chicken sandwich (add cheese) and mozzarella sticks with, you guessed it, another side of cheese. Both sandwiches were fantastic and fresh, hot off the grill. The burger I had was perfectly done, with a slim char on the outside. The chicken was very clean and juicy. Both were mouth watering. The Cajun fries were cooked just as I like them: crispy but not burnt. The cheese had some spice to it but not an overwhelming amount to the point it was "hot". I did taste a mozzarella stick and the absence of grease and the abundance of crispy, well seasoned breading was fantastic. Top notch all the way around. The wait for the food was surprisingly very short considering everything is made fresh. We felt as if it was just another day eating in the kitchen at grandmas, which I miss a lot these days. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to slow down and take a step back in time and enjoy a meal. In my opinion places like this get overlooked and shouldn't. I can't wait to come back and try the Angus burger!

The walls are covered with wonderful old photos of the town, the staff was friendly and the crowd were clearly local regulars. It took me awhile to decide what I wanted to eat, but I finally chose the Tiger Melt. It made my tastebuds do a happy dance! A juicy burger covered with bacon, fire roasted peppers and onions, American and pepper jack cheese, and their special sauce served on Texas toast. It didn't come with any sides, but that didn't make me mad because the burger was huge. My friend said their breakfasts were good, too. If you ever find yourself in Princeton, Indiana, give them a try!!

Girl tells me to pull around to the back door and they will bring me my food. I sat for 35 minutes, waiting. All 3 of the employees came out one by one to smoke, but not bring me my food. Finally, I came inside to inquire as to how long it would be for my chili cheese dog and fries. They forgot about me. No apologies, no follow up, no offer to redeem themselves. In fact, the 2 girls in the front ran to the back while i waited another 10 minutes before my food was presented to me. They did throw in a "free Wee Ice Cream Cone coupon. This was at 12 on a Monday, no lines. If you do not want to be forgotten, I do not recommend this place.

My partner went with the wimpy burger ( not a wimpy burger.. 1.2 lbs) and cajun fries. From the moment you walk in, you know you've found a true local spot. It's small, cozy and decorated with fun signs and memorabilia. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and just the kind of people you want to see when you're about to dive into comfort food. Even at 1:30 pm, that in between lunch/dinner time, the place was steadily busy. And now I know why. The onion rings? Fantastic. I'm an onion ring snob and these were fresh, crispy, and legit. no frozen batter here, and none of that "pull the whole onion out in one bite" nonsense ( I hate that). The fries were hot, crisp and perfectly seasoned. And the burger is 100% beef, juicy, and packed with flavor. This is a local gem and I'm so glad we went. We'll definitely be back.
