    My brother had a delicious sandwich and so did my husband. My nephew ordered the wagyu burger…read moremedium and it came out well done! dry! He could not eat it. An astute wait staff would have asked how his burger was and if she looked at it, it was well done, no red, or pink. My brother's dessert was excellent. We have eaten at Sinclair several times and it was better because of the food was done as requested and waitstaff was attendant.

    Perhaps I'm a bit jaded, but I didn't expect much from this place, situated in a tourist…read moredestination. After navigating the charming but challenging rural byways-- which included horse-drawn buggies and flooded out roads--tourists from the north deserve a good meal when they arrive, and they will get one. My lunch companion chose a Reuben, which was served on delicious dark rye bread, along with a cup of fresh fruit. Yes fresh, not commercially prepared. I chose the 1/2 soup and sandwich. Flavorful tomato basil soup and half of a club on focacia? I believe. That was a little difficult to eat, but it tasted good. I chose French fries with mine, which were hot and plentiful. We both had iced tea which was fresh and good but we were never offered a refill. Service was efficient but not super attentive. The snack mix that arrived with water when we sat down was a nice touch. Oh, and did I mention the atmosphere in which we dined? Only the 8th wonder of the world. See it for yourself. Although this hotel seemed less popular than its nearby sister hotel, French Lick Springs, West Baden hotel was a better experience for a day visitor. We had a lovely day; well worth the trip.

    This place is the true definition of hole in the wall dive bar, in the best way possible. Depot…read moreTavern is in the middle of nowhere Indiana but it was hopping on Friday night. There was a live band (the reason we sought out this place) and they charge a $5/pp cover charge. Their menu is basic bar food - mozzarella sticks, burgers, poppers, fries, etc. (no wings). The burgers looked REALLY good and everyone was ordering them but we weren't hungry enough to get one. We arrived around 7:15PM and stayed until last call. We each had 4-5 beers in that time (since we had to drive out of there on back country roads) and we split an order of mozzarella sticks and our total bill was only $30! Amazing! Note: they do allow smoking, almost everyone in there was smoking, and the ventilation system didn't do much to help the air flow. At one point my eyes were burning pretty bad - but it's a dive bar and I was not expecting it to be non-smoking. It's a cool little joint and I'm glad we went!

    This is a very subjective five stars. Here's why:…read more 1. It's the only bar in Orleans. 2. They have Not You Father's Root Beer 3. The NYFRB and a PBR was $5.25. Like, total. Not each. 4. It's the ultimate dive. It's filled with all the dive bar regalia: Miller Lite mirror, Coors neon sign, Bud Light neon sign, Busch Light neon sign, pool table. They've got one TV. It's set to NASCAR. Smoking allowed inside, a true relic. When you only have 1 option, it's truly your best bet.
