Alright, it's the VFW in Jasper. On Saturday nights, they have live music and dance, which is usually attended by the older crowds. This isn't the lively hang-out for younin's looking for a good time. It is, however, a great place for food. Why? Well for one they have good fried chicken, which is a MUST in Jasper, IN. And two...they now have Rosie's, aka the Calumet's, pizza! The Calumet was sold and went downhill fast and closed. Locals like me were devastated, especially since we lost Monte's around the same time. But dry those tears! The lady who made the pizza for years and years and years at the Calumet knows Rosie's recipe and is now making it at the VFW! $1 off on the weekends! It's a simple place, and yes they do have a 'back room' for non-smokers and under-agers. But Rosie's Pizza! *swoon* OK I realized I have written this like a local for locals. Rosie's pizza (AKA the Calumet's pizza) is classic midwestern/southern Indiana pizza. It's a relatively thin, sturdy, yeast crust that is crunchy rather than crispy. It has to be to handle all the toppings, including their homemade sauce and anything else you want to pile on it. Get sausage, because it's the classic Dubois-County slightly spiced crumbly sausage, and they pile it on high with lots of cheese. This is my favorite pizza anywhere, probably because I grew up with it. But even within Dubois County, this is my *favorite* pizza. I give the pizza 5 stars, but the VFW doesn't have the ambiance, decor, or service to get 5 stars overall. read more

Ok, never knew you could get food at a VFW...always thought it was a place where vets traded war stories...but this post is popular in Jasper for their pizza "Rosie's style" (Jasperites will understand the reference)...and a full bar to boot. read more
