“ Traveling to see the grandkids and stopped by. Great wrap, onion scoops were more than enough for lunch. Fast friendly service by the staff. We’ll return when we are passing through. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in last night for supper and couldn't have been more pleased. She had the breaded tenderloin which was big enough for two and the onion rings which were some of the best I have ever tasted. I had the fish with a salad and crinkle fries. Wow is all I can say. Excellent food for a old bar type atmosphere. The staff was excellent. Well worth the 25 mile drive. ”
“ It’s the definition of a “hometown” bar. James and his staff are awesome. ”
“ I have a buddy from Delphos who has been telling me about this place for years. He has been saying for years I need to go there sometime and have the pork tenderloin. It was great. we happened to be coming back from Fort Wayne, and Delphos was barely out of the way. I thought the place was excellent, I loved the old school decor. Everyone was very friendly... Thanks so much.... Even got myself a T-shirt ”

Add in an open kitchen, huge portions, fair prices, friendly staff and rustic but amazing atmosphere, and you have a place worth taking a detour to experience. I love the Rustic. And yes, they have a true, honest to God pork tenderloin. They way He intended. ”

“ We stopped in here last night before the varsity football game. We were told it was a hometown bar with good food & that’s exactly what it was. Nothing fancy but comfortable & inviting. Great service, great food & a fun environment. Kids got chicken tenders, burgers & fries - all were good. My breaded tenderloin was huge, very filling & very good! ”
“ My family and I have eaten here probably hundreds of times over the years. Food is always very good, service is great and fast. They have an awesome AWESOME tenderloin - if you haven't had it - you are missing out. Those things should be in the news. Takes up a whole plate by itself. Not kidding - get one! ”
