After a fried chicken dinner nearby, a stroll around this charmingly quaint little town and visit to the antique store, I spotted this place and from the look of the outside, we had to stop in for a beer.
The barmaid greeted us with a smile, and was friendly and open to conversation. She appeared to be also discussing business with another employee, but was prompt to serve us and did not neglect us in any way. Â In fact we chatted quite a bit as they weren't busy, and she was kind enough to give us some recommendations on the Indiana chicken thing. Â When we left, we were thanked for coming in, and asked to please come again.
Good sized bar, designed with an antique look. I could see a dining room at the rear. We learned this is one local joint that does NOT serve fried chicken, but seems to focus on German influenced cuisine.
Place was very clean, as were the restrooms.
Normally I would probably give 3 stars due to it being a brief visit only at the bar, but in justice I felt the need to counterbalance what seems to me a very  inappropriate review below. Does not seem right to slam a place because you were listening in to a private conversation and didn't like what you heard.
First of all..this place is NOT quiet about its opinions. And when I say that..I am talking about the workers AND owners. Yes..OWNERS.
The service neglected us and was taking entirely too long.
I can't complain about the food..we were so offended we got up and left after about 20 mins. We heard VERY racist comments. They were basically "crap talking"..apparently about people they knew...and even one of the tables that was dining there. A pretty nasty comment was made about a man who came in to get his pick up order. Not to his face of course.
This place is full of ignorance and hate. They discriminate against people who apparently keep them up and running. That is pretty low.
As I stated prior..they are verbal about their opinions..and they kind of stare at you with an unwelcoming look as you enter the door. This is in one of the top 5 restaurants that I would rate as one of the most unfriendly and unprofessional..that I have ever visited.
