Blue Rose Restaurant

We had lunch at the Blue Rose, which is always a lovely experience. For lunch, the menu consists of soup - all kinds of soup: potato cheese (their specialty), taco soup, chili, broccoli cheese, chicken noodle, vegetable, sauerkraut soup, French onion, chicken and rice, and chili mac...all you can eat. The cost is a donation that goes toward the support of the developmentally disabled persons who live and work here. Also served is break and your choice of desserts. The view, and the experience, can't be beat!

Picture a quiet dining room.  It's clean, it's cozy, and it has a beautiful view overlooking the Mississippi River.  The servers are focused on making sure you have everything you need and the best experience possible.  You have delicious food in front of you-- but not for long!  The check comes and it's less than you're accustomed to paying.

This is the typical experience when you eat at the Blue Rose Restaurant.  The Village of the Blue Rose is a place where adults with developmental disabilities work (in stores, a B&B and a restaurant) and live (in housing) and on the large property in Clarksville.  

I have had many a filling meal at the Blue Rose.  Clarksville has some unique stores and antique shops, and I love to unwind after a day of shopping by gazing out at the river, studying the fall colors or the swooping eagles or the blooming spring or the green summer... and then I love to shop in the several dirt cheap shops on the Blue Rose property.

Wonderful view of the Mississippi River, fun to watch the many colorful birds during lunch! Delicious food, gentle, caring waiters....lovely!
