Bakers Square Restaurant & Pies

"You're not in Kansas anymore" is what I was thinking being back in IN driving around on Christmas day looking for a place to eat. Even most of the McDonald's were closed.  Several Chinese restaurants were open, but fried rice and Christmas don't seem to be an ideal match.

My family was out of town and I was craving a full Turkey dinner.  As it turns out, Baker's Square was the only restaurant open with a decent menu (the McDonald's close by was also open).  It was very busy and I so didn't want to be lost in a crowd.

To my surprise, I was seated within 10 minutes AND there was a special menu which included a full turkey dinner with a free slice of pie for $12.99.  It seemed made to order for what I was looking for.  Being that I had mashed potatoes the night before, I opted to get a potato pancake with my dinner.  So, there's opportunity to augment the traditional turkey dinner menu, but choosing different sides.  I chose raspberry pie (Yum!).

I would have to say the food was good.  The turkey was just a little dry, but I don't think there's a good way of serving turkey to the masses without this happening.  It did taste freshly sliced and that's all that matters as there was plenty of gravy on the turkey and stuffing.

The service was also fast and cordial as I know the staff was working its butt off.  I also saw large families having their Christmas dinner there, most were Christians and a few were of other faiths that don't celebrate Christmas.  Interesting!

Thank you Baker's Square for being open on Christmas Day and providing a decent meal.

Recently Remodled and looks great!

Was there a couple minutes after 7am (posted opening time). Two people saw me through the door and bother to come and open it. You lost my business today.
