Looking for a quiet little restaurant and we found it. My husband had the special eggplant and I had a chicken pasta dish. The best thing was dinner salad with house raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
The owner and chef served our entrees and checked back to see if everything was satisfactory.
Would definitely consider revisiting if ever in the area.

The Deli at Sixth

Reviewed By Scott S - Sarasota, Florida

We went here during the grand opening week. We had a large party of 10 and the service was prompt and excellent. The variety of sandwiches offered as well as the other items is amazing for business this size. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was super fresh and the cookies.....Oh the cookies are amazing too. We will definitely be back and be sure to tell our friends as well.

Topping off a lunch, down the street, a good cuppa coffee from Starbucks. Unfortunately, all of the many selections are wasted on me, as I normally will get just the regular coffee. More expensive then the local gas station, but their regular coffee is great!

Bo Doogie's Bbq

Reviewed By slishof3 - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We stop at Bo Doogies whenever we are in the area. The food is delicious, the service awesome, and the portions are huge for the price! I really don't have any complaints. My only critique would be maybe more dessert choices?! I thought the menu had banana pudding but it's never been on the board when we've gone.

We stopped here for lunch while visiting the Duesenberg Museum and were pleasantly surprised.
My friend ordered a burger and fries which were good and I ordered the Viet Binh MI which was excellent and a pleasant surprise.
Could have ordered many things from their extensive menu and enjoyed one of their many brews but....next time.
Would definitely return

I saw a billboard for this restaurant while traveling south on I-69. There are no signs at the off ramp, but it's just west of the ramp. I expected a typical Chinese buffet but this was very nice. Everything was very clean, the sushi was good and nicely chilled. There was a large salad bar with cooked shrimp, desert bar, a hibachi grill, soups, stir-fried green beans, the best crab rangoon I've ever had, lots of fried chicken and fish, and of course, some classic stir fried dishes. These were not plentiful, but there is a tremendous variety to suit every taste, even pizza or simple quesadillas for the kids. The billboard promised prime rib but I didn't see it. There were pieces of sirloin on the hot bar, and I was able to find one that wasn't over-cooked.
The restroom was spotless and the service was quiet and efficient. I'll definitely make this a stop on my next trip. The lunch price, which ends at 3:30 p.m., was $7.99 for an adult.

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By doug12345bb - Waynes Fort, IN

We've been stopping into this CB for years but the last few times kept slipping more. This is a restaurant with seating for a hundred ++ but let a tour bus with 30 stop by and all bets are off. How would they handle a full house. We sat for 15 minutes to get waited on and an hour for our food after which they excused that someone lost the check. Not the case as the food for all of us was ice cold having sat for a while. gravy literally had a skim that could bounce on a fork and ice cold liver was really something. The kids barely touched theirs. We were brought replacement potatoes which had been nuked and having no more time to waste waiting for it to cool down nibbled a bit then took the kids somewhere else. The only constant good point is the young man who seated us as he's always professional. As for wait staff they take your order and someone else dumps it off with no followup

Reviewed By kumarcheryl - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Good food, good service, friendly and attentive to the needs of the guest. I was alone and not that hungry. Ordered the Caesar Salad and Chicken Tortilla soup. Both were good and filled my appetite for the evening. Very inexpensive at less than $5. Whats not to like? Better than going to a fast food place! Very satisfied.

Auburn's Town Tavern

Reviewed By phislamajama - bluegrass state

Came in on one of the people @the museum recommendation. It's a small restaurant with a bar on the other side.
I ordered the grilled pork tenderloin sandwich and fries. It was tasty. There is a salad bar with plenty to choose from. They had 2 soups also. That day was stuffed pepper and vegetable. Fries were crispy and good. Service was good and quick.
Bathrooms needed work. It is an old building. Nice local lunch spot. Total bill for 4 was $35.
