Mayberry Cafe Images from Danville, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Mayberry Cafe in Danville, Indiana takes small town to a new level–an Andy Griffith type of level!

The natives were restless so we did what any other parents would do in this situation: we ordered pie for ourselves to take back to our room at The Old MG Bed and Breakfast. We are all sorts of sneaky.

After the kids were in bed, we didn’t wait to dig in! My slice of Mayberry Cafe’s Sugar Cream Pie has made it move up into one of my all-time favorite pies ever. It was absolute perfection!

Netters Restaurant in Bremen, Indiana: Homemade Heaven

Jessica Nunemaker — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Netters Restaurant in Bremen, Indiana

Just a smidgen away from the old downtown, Netters Restaurant in Bremen, Indiana is definitely a family affair.

Serving up tasty and delicious homemade food that’s made to order, this Indiana mom and pop restaurant was a wonderful surprise!

Netters Restaurant in Bremen, Indiana

I admit that I was apprehensive at first when I walked into the really nice, brightly lit interior–would this place serve homemade food?

Absolutely it does! Flipping through the Netters menu, there’s a lot to like.

I could not decide between the Patty Melt or the Reuben Sandwich (surprise, surprise). Apparently I am very much a creature of habit!

Menu at Netters Restaurant

Netters Restaurant Menu: Bremen, Indiana

Hubs ordered Fried Mushrooms and a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. He does love a good Philly!

I finally narrowed it down to the Patty Melt–and a side of fries. But next time…that Reuben Sandwich is getting crossed off the list.

If I can keep myself from getting that yummy Patty Melt again, that is!

After receiving our order, well, let’s just say that Netters Restaurant ranks up there as one of my all-time faves. From start to finish, it was delicious.

A Family Affair

Netters Restaurant Patty Melt in Bremen, Indiana

When I told hubs that my fries were amazing, the owner mentioned that up until I ordered them they were still a potato! Now how is that for fresh?

Hubs boasted that his Fried Mushrooms were the best he had ever had! Days later and he’s still going on about the greatness of those mushrooms!

In fact, the owner mentioned that everything they make is made to order and always fresh. It shows! There’s a lot of care taken in the preparation of each and every dish.

Go There

The owners have six kids–one of which was helping that very night. Support a family restaurant and you support a family!

You absolutely need to check it out. There’s even a bonus: Free Wi-Fi! Now how’s that for a great Indiana town hangout?

Star City, Indiana: Oak Grove Restaurant

Star City, Indiana: Oak Grove Restaurant

little Indiana had had a full afternoon in Star City, Indiana as it was–but dinner was calling, so we had to answer!

Jones Robotic Dairy owner Pam suggested Oak Grove Restaurant. She was right on target.

Oak Grove Restaurant in Star City, Indiana

While I hate that instant of walking into a small Indiana town place and everyone turning and staring for a sec before getting back to their conversations, I love hearing the cross-table “hello” and “howdy” of locals as they greet each other and chit-chat.

What I also love are good menus. Oak Grove Restaurant has a lot of yummy-sounding things. Tack on changing monthly and daily specials and you’ve got yourself variety.

Known for their chicken, Hubs wisely went with the chicken strips as did Kid #1. I got the Patty Melt. Ever since Lynn’s Restaurant glorious Patty Melt, I just can’t say no.

Oak Grove Restaurant Food

Star City, Indiana: Oak Grove Restaurant

Waiting for our meal is always the hardest part with kids–until our server brought over coloring books and a whole bag of crayons!

It was quickly shoved aside, however, when our steaming plates of goodness were set down before us.

Let me start off by saying that having to take pics of food before we could dig in was particularly agonizing this go-around. Everything looked and smelled SO good.

I started with Kid #1, then hubs, and then my own. Kid #2 had something simple. Whatever it was now escapes me, but I do remember he ate all of his veggies and then asked for more–not exactly how it works when you go out to eat!

After Dinner

What purpose does dinner serve other than letting you get to the good stuff–dessert! Of course we saved room. But that article? Will keep for a different day. I do have two words for you, however: “homemade” and “pie.”

Jim’s Cafe Images from DeMotte, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:00:43 +0000

Jim’s Cafe in DeMotte, Indiana was so good! You know I can’t resist a toasty warm Reuben Sandwich.

More than sandwiches, Jim’s Cafe has a small wall of coffee. We saw flavors ranging from French Vanilla to Luck of the Irish.

I figured you might want to see the delicious you are in for at this comfortable Indiana town shop. Just be forewarned–the following images may result in a road trip!

Corydon, Indiana: Magdalena's Restaurant and Cafe

The pineapple has long been a sign of welcome–and at Magdalena’s Restaurant and Cafe in Corydon, Indiana that couldn’t be closer to the truth!

Step through the front doors (under the pineapple sign) and enter this warm and cozy Indiana restaurant.

Magdalena’s Restaurant and Cafe in Corydon, Indiana

little Indiana and family chose Magdalena’s based on local suggestions. It didn’t disappoint!

In business since 1991, Magdalena’s Restaurant has quite the menu! But more than a restaurant, you can order coffee drinks and the like because there is a connecting coffee shop.

Hubs was super happy about that one. He didn’t waste any time deciding on a coffee drink, either!

Magdalena’s Restaurant Food

Corydon, Indiana: Magdalena's Restaurant Reuben Sandwich

Hubs ordered the Grilled Portabella Mushroom “Burger” which came with a side of Sweet Potato Patties.

I got the Reuben Sandwich, a lean cut topped with their own special sauce. What do you mean I never try anything new?

Joking aside, well, you know I can’t resist a good Reuben Sandwich!

The kids were very happy with their order– Chicken Strips.

I wish I had noticed before that they had Pierogies! Oh my goodness would I like to try theirs! Oh, well. There’s always next time!

Go There

Corydon, Indiana: Magdalena's Restaurant Grilled Portabella Burger

A hometown staple, Magdalena’s Restaurant and Cafe is a great dining option in Harrison County.

It’s the kind of place that invites you to linger, have that extra cup of coffee, and enjoy yourself. What a great ending to our day!

Go There

Remember to tell ‘em little Indiana sent you! Oh–and make sure to save room for dessert. I heard it’s good!

Jessica Nunemaker — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:00:13 +0000

Demotte, Indiana: Jim's Cafe

little Indiana hit the road and head for DeMotte, Indiana or, more specifically, to Jim’s Cafe!

Well, let’s just say that in this small Indiana town shop, there’s plenty more than just coffee.

Jim’s Coffee Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

When you take a step inside, you will smell the lovely, lovely smell of coffee–and food!

Jim’s Coffee Shop serves the breakfast, lunch, and dinner crowd. Which was a good thing because little Indiana (and family) were hungry!

They’ve got a nice menu over at Jim’s Cafe. It was an easy choice for Kid #1 and #2 (hot dog and grilled cheese). Hubs and I waffled.

Demotte, Indiana: Jim's Cafe Reuben Sandwich

Food at Jim’s

The sandwiches sounded so good! Hubs finally went with the Patty Melt. But as for me? Well, they did have a Reuben Sandwich on there!

I chose the Onion Rings, Hubs went for fries. I’d recommend the Onion Rings–crispy goodness. Man those hit the spot.

Of course the kids enjoyed what they ordered. But what haven’t I mentioned yet? The coffee!

Indiana Coffee Shop

Demotte, Indiana: Jim's Cafe Frozen Mocha

Jim’s Cafe has quite the assortment of coffees and teas. There are so many yummy-sounding flavors!

You may remember that I didn’t actually enjoy coffee until after Kid #2 was born–and I only like it black. Even so, there’s a lot here that I could really get into.

While I didn’t actually get coffee personally, I did drink quite a bit of the Frozen Mocha that hubs ordered.

He stated, and I agree, that it is the best Frozen Mocha he has ever had. Ever! So take that, big box coffee!

Go There

Here’s just more proof that you can find everything you need in a small town. You just needed to know where to look! Jim’s Cafe was very good–and a place I wouldn’t mind returning.

Mayberry Cafe in Danville, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:00:00 +0000

Mayberry Cafe: Danville, Indiana

When in Danville, Indiana do like the locals and head to Mayberry Cafe when you need to eat.

You can’t miss it–it’s the mom and pop restaurant with the classic police car in the front. You know, the type of car that, say, one of the fine folks from Mayberry might possess!

Mayberry Cafe

After the magical Christmas on the Square experience, I can’t think of a better place in which to share a meal. Mayberry Cafe is quaint, it’s cute, and it’s definitely got that wholesome Andy Griffith vibe going for it.

This place is also ginormous. While Danville may be a small Indiana town, Mayberry Cafe has enough space to fit half of it!

I may be exaggerating a tiny bit–but there are two stories of comfortable seating.

Mayberry Cafe: What’s on The Menu

Mayberry Cafe: Danville Indiana is Kid Friendly

I love a good small town menu. Homemade meals and a few fun and unexpected choices.

I kept waiting for Aunt Bee to scurry out of the kitchen.

It is also super kid friendly! Right away the server handed the kiddos small Etch-a-Sketches.

They also received a token apiece to use either for a prize at the end of their meal or for a scoop of ice cream for dessert! Is that cute or what?

Mayberry Cafe Food

Mayberry Cafe: Danville, Indiana

We managed to order before the kids revolted. Don’t you hate when you are so hungry that you can’t make simple decisions?

I went with the fsd and hubs got the fasd. Wow did his salad look wonderfully fresh!

We got a basket of bread, too–I ate an embarrassingly large amount of the cute little loaf. I may have elbowed Kid #1 away at one point.

Danville’s Hometown Favorite

After one bite of my adf and tried a bit of hub’s sfdasd, I knew why Mayberry Cafe had such a hold over Hendricks County folks. The food was great!

Browse the walls and look at all the Andy Griffith show memorabilia. Check out the classic car in the front before you leave–it’s nicely decorated for the Christmas season. But whatever you do–don’t leave without dessert!

Moorefield Market Images from Moorefield, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:00:51 +0000

Moorefield, Indiana lies just outside Vevay, Indiana. It’s very tiny–but thanks to Moorefield Market, it is a place you just HAVE to go and see!

Moorefield Market is a general store.But more than a place to get groceries, etc. it’s the local hangout. It also has the best ever homemade potato chips (eat ‘em with Ranch).

You know how much I like a good Indiana general store–and Moorefield Market is so much fun! Great owners, great stuff, and awesome food. What more do you need?
