Only opened 11am to 2pm Thurs, Fri and Sat. (closed the month of March) but you will not be disappointed. Meet Cherri the owner and her incredible homemade meals. If you like Clam Chowder, this is like no other.

Don't let the name fool you. It is not that at all. This is a great family, small diner. Much of the sandwiches are named after Purdue University Football Players. If it is Purdue Football season, you can go early and see the Breakfast Club. (just a bunch of fun people that dress differently for game day and start the day early here to have breakfast.) This is tight seating so you have no choice but meet the person across from you or beside you.
Get their RootBeer!
Family welcome.
Cash Only!
