“The food and service were both outstanding! I had one of the best Mac and Cheese (with shrimp) ever and my wife had salmon which was also delicious. The French Onion soup was amazing too. Make a reservation if you're going. There were none left when we wanted to go (to see a show in town). They got us in after a half-hour and served us quickly so we wouldn't miss the start of the show. I don't live in Elkhart but definitely worth making the drive to go back to 523. I do wish they had more gluten-free options.“

“This is more bar than grill. They do sell burgers and quick eats. The food was good. The atmosphere is friendly with lots of smiling faces, however, it looks like a place that you can find trouble quite easily if that’s what you’re looking for. 4 pool tables, a “dart” board, jukebox. The night I went happened to be having karaoke. You must be 21 to enter with valid Id. I can’t rate this place for my liking, only for the experience I had. Hence the 5 stars.“

I like that you can order ahead and your food is ready pretty fast. Customer service is great! I heard their fried chicken was really good. One lady said she actually drove 2 hrs to get some. I don't eat chicken however, that seems to be what I hear people ordering when I'm there.“

“I was just traveling through this area and the lovely lady at the hotel desk referred me here for a really good breakfast. I have many food allergies including eggs, and Brittany suggested some great options for me! She was not wrong!!! She was an awesome server and so very friendly! Food was plentiful and delicious and I'm so happy that I was referred here by a local. I had a half order of biscuits and gravy and there was so much I could only eat half!The only annoying thing was that my bill ended in .01 and the hostess felt it necessary to count out 99 cents for me. I appreciate all that effort, but not all that change.“

“We stopped here for breakfast one morning. I had never been here & we stopped because of all the cars parked here (usually a good sign) We had a great breakfast here & our waitress was Outstanding!!! The two things that really stood out were our perfectly made pancakes and the smooth mellow coffee. If you drive by here stop to eat. I wish you were closer to my home. We just happened to be driving by coming home from an appointment that took us out to Elkhart.“
