On our way back from Indy I asked my wife to find a restaurant in Shelbyville for lunch on Sunday…read more She said "Ok, I found the Chicken Inn". You had me at chicken. We pulled in around 11:30 am and the place was already filling up. I grew up in Indiana and this place just screams Indian chicken decor. My wife and I are in our later 50s and we were the youngest couple in the joint. Service? Wow, almost as soon as we sat down our server was giving us menus and taking our drink order. Food? Quite possibly the best fried chicken I have ever had. Go here, order chicken, enjoy and tip well!!!!! This was after dining at St Elmo the night before. St E was mid

I had a great little breakfast this morning at this charming little cafe on the Square in downtown…read moreShelbyville. We were welcomed the minute we walked in and offered to sit wherever we wanted. The dining area is long and narrow with a handful of tables and a snack bar with stools. We sat where we had a nice view of the counter. The menus are posted at the tables. Breakfast items are a la carte and inexpensive. The coffee is locally roasted - I ordered a latte which came out fairly quickly. The coffee was strong and good. I ordered a couple eggs, bacon and a bagel. The eggs were cooked well done, like I like. The bacon was sweet and delicious. The bagel came with cream cheese and was fine. The staff is friendly and efficient. The lunch menu is interesting, as well. They carry a few gift items, including the coffee beans, and gift cards in the shop. The cafe is connected to a bookstore and salon on the sides. There was a small group of people having a loud work discussion which detracted a bit from the experience. There is plenty of free public parking and even bike parking. There are tables outside if you want to bring your pup. Restrooms were available. I will be going back to try the lunch menu. I loved it.

There is even a large selection of tea and other drink options too! I love that it is attached to the book store!! If I lived closer then I would completely replace my morning coffee run with The Bookmark Coffee, but needless to say, I'll be back!

We were able to sample ice cream flavors before deciding on orange sherbet, blue moon, and cotton candy twist. You can also make any ice cream flavor into a shake. My husband got an orange sherbet shake and a Golden Bear Burger. I loved my bacon and egg Croissandwich i ordered. The bacon was cooked with the eggs. We didn't care for the burger but we'd come back to try some other things on the menu. Pay cash to save on a convenience fee.

And he makes the most amazing pies, cakes, pudding! The staff (mostly family) is welcoming, engaging, and eager to make customers happy. The food is made from scratch, including hand battered onion rings. Tenderloin as well. Mia, our server, had waters on the table. Food came out quickly and she checked on us several times. They have a breakfast and sandwich menu with traditional Midwest favorites. The owner is known for his fabulous biscuits which are served plain, fried with apple butter or biscuits and gravy. We each had Diana's Breakfast Special which came with a whopping bowl of fresh fruit, 2 eggs, toast and choice of sausage or bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crisp and delicious. The dining room is sparkling clean with cute decor. They even have a little counter seating. The unisex bathroom is clean as well. There is parking across the street and an accessible ramp to get into the restaurant. On Sundays, they have a fun little competition for the hearty guests. If you can eat seven plates of biscuits and gravy ($15) you win a free meal and your photo on the wall. As of today, there are only 2 photos on the wall. I left without a piece of that gorgeous coconut pie. But I'll be back. This little diner is well worth the drive to Shelbyville. I'm told it gets crowded during peak hours, so get there early. Hot tip: your Yelp checkin gets you a discount.

Being from Shelbyville, I had not been here for years, as it is pretty expensive for what it is,…read morebut I had a pregnancy craving so I returned for a grinder. (I will still stand by that it's too expensive for what it is.) Staff were not overly welcoming when we walked in, more like you have to tell them you're here to order and then they greet you. The kitchen staff were also dropping things on the ground and the cashiers were having to remind them it now has to be washed, which I did not like that they needed that reminder! My husband and I split the loaded tots, overall these were underwhelming but he liked them. We also shared the large Italian grinder. This is a great sharing size. Flavor was good and satisfied my craving. I did like that the brought our grinders out on two separate plates since we had mentioned we were sharing it! Overall, I probably won't return anytime soon as it was $80 for four people to eat, but hey pregnant lady wants what she wants. ‍
