Highly recommend this spot for tasty America-inspired treats and great hospitality. The venue is fun, bright, American-kitsch and the food is prepared with love and care. We especially liked the fried blue-gill and pork tenderloin, as well as the skillet cookie for dessert! Thank you for hosting us during our travels from NZ, we left with full bellies and full hearts!

We stopped in mid day for lunch on our way through and this place did not disappoint! If you have never tried them before, you have to get the deep fried deviled eggs. I have had them in a couple other places, and these rank toward the top. My wife ordered a salad that came out considerably larger than we were expecting. I went with the Waafelatchos. I mean, you can't go wrong with waffle cut taters that's dressed like nachos! It was all I wanted to finish them. This is definitely a must stop place to eat when in Lebanon In.

So we went here off of a recommendation. Let me tell y'all. The fried deviled eggs are amazing, especially with the honey mustard. The grilled tenderloin my wife had is also very juicy and flavorful. The star of the show for us however was the fried bluegill. The breading had the perfect blend of seasonings the fried to perfection. If you're in the area, stop in and give this place a try!

This is a wonderful place to dine, whether meeting friends or stopping in for a quick lunch or dinner. The owner has taken great care to preserve the historic character of the previous businesses that once occupied the space, which adds a unique charm to the location. Situated in a small triangle just west of central downtown Lebanon, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. The food and service are consistently excellent. While the pricing reflects the quality of the experience, it helps maintain a refined and enjoyable environment for those who choose to visit

Been working down in Lebanon for a little over a month. I've eaten here 5 times each time it was a great experience. Tonight I met Craig the owner who was great to talk with. With that being said over all I highly recommend stopping in for some food and drinks.

The waitress was friendly. Parking lot is smaller. No wait to be seated. The food tasted good but we felt that it was over priced for the portion size. Some of the seating was high top tables. So if you are planning a vist you may want to take that into consideration.

Owner was nice. Nice artwork, the bar top of the previous establishment was re-used in the new bar. Nice selection of bourbon and drinks in general. Atmosphere was great. All in all a great dining experience.

The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic. The food came out piping hot and extremely fresh. I got the blue gill meal and it could have fed 2 people there was so much food. My bf got the breaded tenderloin and it was amazing also. I highly recommend this place if you've never been before.
