Be wary of the menus pricing on the photos or on open table. The prices are out of date, I ended up paying $20 for take out (including a a $3 tip ) for a patty melt. Compared to the $13 seen on the menus here and online. I was informed/redirected to their specific website for updated prices. I’m not from Indiana, I’m from Texas. I don’t believe it to be fair to have that expectations from a non local customer.I had ordered the patty melt with bacon, and due to some error, it was not processed and when the order was placed back in, the bacon was not added again either.Not charged or as a courtesy either. I could understand if this a fast food chain or some corporate restaurant where workers are unhappy. Sure. But it’s a locally owned place. I won’t badmouth the restaurant per se, but it sure does not leave room for a desire to return either. I was not expecting a refund but at least, hey I’m sorry, next time you come in we’ll give you a free dessert when you dine in or something.The response from the staff was not rude. Let me clear, it was not rude, but it did give the vibe of cold, and sorry. Sorry but there’s nothing we can or will do. We’re a business trying to survive out here, while being corporate neutral in the response.

If I lived here, I'd enjoy eating here 5 nights a week. The shrimp were hand battered and fantastic. This place has no right to be so good.

Great food and good daily specials. Service was a bit slow; waited a while to get check, then pay check & water was empty a couple times. Traditionally a motorcycle friendly place, but no bike parking to be found. Could have used some outdoor bug candles as mosquitoes were active.

We were warned when we arrived at the kitchen was running slowly. It took a while, but when we took the first bite of trout and crispy potatoes, we knew it was well worth the wait. Parking can be very tricky around this restaurant. The shrimp dish was equally tasty.
We had a lovely dinner experience! We shared a bottle of wine and I had a couple of bottles of beer. We started with onion rings as an appetizer, it was a huge serving of hot, tender and delicious rings! Our dinners were the Mediterranean pasta dish with a side of hot bacon salad and the pan crusted tenderloin with sides of mac & cheese and green beans. All the food was cooked to perfection and the portions were so generous that we took about half of all our food home. We sat in the enclosed patio area and it was very quiet and comfortable. We went at 4:30 on a Saturday. We are already looking forward to our next dinner there!

I have hosted a baby shower and bridal shower, as well as, eaten at L.A. Cafe multiple times. The food is always exceptional and the service is outstanding! Thank you to Jessie and her team for always knocking it out of the park!

Food was great, Rachael was the best server!! I'll come back and tell all my friends
My partner and I reserved a table and were put in a room with large groups of diners. It was awful because it was incredibly noisy, we could not hold much of a conversation as the other guests were cackling like hyena’s and we couldn't hear each other. Not an atmosphere for us, it was unpleasant, but food snd service were good.

The atmosphere is completely horrible. Throughout the dinner there was loud horrible music playing. Televisions were on with no volume. What was the point? I cannot suggest this restaurant and will never enter it, again.

I booked here to celebrate my wife's birthday. On the table was a table tent stating happy birthday and the waitress greeted her with the same. At the end, brought a birthday dessert with candle lit and we sang. It was great. Our entrees were great also. Thanks so much for helping me celebrate her.

We loved eating at LA Cafe last night to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Our food was wonderful. We'll definitely return for another meal.

We just returned from a day of driving. I had a chicken sandwich and onion rings that were absolutely amazing. I ate it too quickly to take pics!
