This restaurant was one of few which made me desperately desire to live a street across from it! First of all, upon entering, we were greeted with the atmosphere so comforting and warm, it made me want to move in there.The decorations around the restaurant and the interior is very clean and fascinating to look at, especially the pictures on the walls, the cows were adorable! My favorite part of the decorations was the wall of money which was incredibly cool. I saw 2 Ukrainian hryvnias, and to me as a Ukrainian, that hit VERY close to home. Decor however, was not the only thing incredible thing there. The staff were so nice and understanding, they were attentive and made us feel at peace. But food. OH THE FOOD. we ordered a lot, expecting the portions to be small, but oh man were we wrong. The portions were huge and filled with flavors so satisfying, I didn't want to stop eating. Thank you all the staff, for it was one of those places where I felt the need to return to as fast as I can. HAVE A GREAT EVENING :D read more

Oh my goodness what a find. We were visiting from Ohio! This restaurant is a must. The staff was very helpful and sweet. A small hole in the wall that had everything! Italian, pizza, burgers, fish, fried chicken and breakfast all day! The food was generously piled high on the plate. Wish we lived closer, so we could visit more often. read more

Howe Restaurant - BLT and fries - American Near Me - Howe, Indiana

OMG, small time vibe with absolutely hearty meal! The hotel we stayed at recommended this cute place. It didn't disappoint. Service was on point. The lady was informative about the menu. I did ask if hubs & I could share a plate, she did say no. The downside was that we could have shared either item that was ordered. The portions were huge! Neither of us finished our dinners. Another downside - Diet Pepsi. If you know me, I'm a Diet Coke gal. read more

I never expect much when pulling off the highway to grab lunch or dinner. Howe Restaurant is amazing! Angelo, the owner and chef, greeted us as we came in. He arrives at 2:30 am to get the soup going. It's a tomato soup with orzo and Greek spices - it's amazing. Try the soup!!!! Our server, P, gave us samples since we'd never heard of it. Our dinners were all fresh and delicious. Angelo said he makes everything from scratch. You can taste it. The meats and desserts are delivered from Chicago, he's very selective about his ingredients. Highly recommend stopping by the next time you're on interstate 80. Warning - it will NOT be a fast stop, Angelo is very talkative. But it's totally worth it!! read more

Has an amazing breakfast!! I've never posted on here but I have to say they had French vanilla creamer which was awesome and the foood was outstanding hot and exactly what I could have wanted hot and fresh excellent!! read more

The service saved at least one star that the carpet took away. Man, this carpet - just put it out of its misery already! Food is decent, especially for small town dining. Having to listen to Fox News during lunch left me wishing for other options. Plates are generously portioned and the coffee is good. Diana was our waitress, we liked her a lot. She's really sweet to the little kids here too. Adding edit because... I just can't understand why on this earth anyone would use canned mushrooms for anything these days. I've eaten here several times now, and keep getting disappointed by those pasty little flaps lurking in my food. And darn it, I like (real) mushrooms! read more

Had an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful dinner. The best hot beef sandwich I have had in a long time. Such a friendly place. The highlight was the pie. If I lived close to this I would eat there often. read more

Small family restaurant. Clean and well maintained. Appears to have employees that care. Lunch , I started with a cup of chili. Good not great , could have been hotter. Then a large salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was cold , so not fresh . Salad was very good and a large portion. read more

A hole in the wall loved by the community! I got the Greek skillet and my boyfriend got the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The gyro in my skillet reminds me of the small local lunch spots in Chicago. Fresh, moist, seasoned well. It went so well with the hash browns and small feta pieces. It was a savory delight! The burger was seasoned well (I hate unseasoned ground beef) and cooked just right to be juicy. I can't wait to go back and try the sandwiches! Can't wait to try more of their menu read more

Always good food! The people are great! We are blessed to have a wonderful restaurant like the Howe Restaurant in our area!

I was just at the shipshewana horse auction and the horse stalls where cleaner than this rug the food is way to expensive and not hat great

This is the PERFECT small town diner. We came off the toll road looking for breakfast and Howe Restaurant filled the bill. Table service was excellent and the food was very good. This is a small restaurant in a small town. I expect there's a wait on the weekends. Five stars. read more

We have heard nothing but great reviews about this place & looked forward to trying them! My husband picked up a pizza on his way home one evening and upon opening the box (at home)- the pizza looked strange. Literally half was cooked & half was undercooked. Toppings separated from the pizza crust. Very unappetizing and neither of us could finish. We called and were told that when my husband came in for breakfast the next day with a group- he would be refunded. Angelo was there and honored the refund & told us that next time we should ask for him to specifically make it. Unfortunately, we had no desire for another. My husband had a large breakfast & thought it was decent. Typical diner food. Recently at a family dinner, 3 more pizzas were ordered from here. While the pizzas actually seemed evenly cooked this time- we still didn't like them! We ended up with stomach aches. We have no desire to go back. read more

We enjoyed our meal at Howe. The staff was friendly and service was quick. I had a French dip with fries and my husband had a hot, open faced sandwich. The portions were very generous and the food was tasty. Thank you! read more

Food is very good, really good portions! Down rated as kitchen exhaust fan was not working well and the carpet was dismal! So caked with kitchen grease it was hard to tell original color!! read more

What you'll get here is an overwhelmingly large menu of pretty much anything you can think of. After all, isn't that what diners are all about? A little bit of everything to please any person in your party. A easy stop along the interstate, this place serves up some good ol' home cooked food. The real treat here is if you happen to have a chance to meet the owner Angelo, a character he is but also a great guy with endless stories to keep you entertained. I had the pleasure of chit chatting with him and you can't help but love the guy. We had a pleasant time here and to top it all off he even offered dessert on the house. You meet a lot of people in your life and most are easily forgettable, but not him, he's a stand up guy that works hard and you can only want nothing but success for him. Stay fat mother suckers read more

We were camping nearby and ate at Howe Restaurant frequently. We ordered a variety of items from the menu. We were never disappointed. Food, price and quantity were all good. Staff was always friendly and helpful. At a glance the price can be intimidating, but we always had leftovers for another meal. The only suggestion I have is replacing flooring. Best wishes for continued success. read more

Adequate if you are in desperate need up nutrition. The kitchen help look as if a good scrubbing is in order. Our server is friendly but that is the ONLY POSITIVE. Judging by the menu I am guessing it is not a local mom & pop at you might think with the name Howe Restaurant. I left 1/2 my sandwich and all but two of my french fries. The fries were warm but not a bit of crisp or body to them. They were limp, tasteless mush. I had the party melt minus the mushrooms, so I would have thought the onions would have been generous, but there were barely any on the entire sandwich. My dad ordered biscuits and gravy for his dinner. He said they were cold and not very good. By chance I heard a lady next to our table send back her soup for being cold. Do yourself a favor and drive to Topeka or somewhere and find a true local restaurant. I rarely ever give bad reviews but this deserves one! read more

Howe Restaurant - Not good enough to finish. Lousy fries! - American Near Me - Howe, Indiana

Went on a Thursday night, pick your seat as it wasn't really crowded. Waitress promptly took our order and brought us our beverages. Husband had chicken fried steak and said it was good. I opted for the lasagna which was good with a lot of meat sauce. More than I could eat so I had leftovers which heated up nicely the next day. Meals were served with soup or salad. Nice mom and pop restaurant that we had forgotten about. Will put this back on our list when we go through the area again. read more

The food is decent, but, do not take your family! We live close, so have visited multiple time. We have decided to not ever return. Went with daughter and family, and the owner was yelling profanities at wait staff! We got up and left! He lost a table of 6. Tried talking to him but he was not man enough to face us. He went out the back door when he was told someone wanted to speak to him. We have heard him other times and it us well documented in the community! Felt so sorry for the wait staff. No one needs to be yelled at like that in public! He could take them aside and speak nicely to them if they are not doing something right. read more

Packed and dangerous to pull out of the parking lot, and the food is mediocre. Sharp service, with a small town diner feel.

Stopped in while on a drive. We were looking for a place to get a quick bite. Just a typical diner but the people were very friendly and the food was excellent. read more

The breakfast is really good. Really good coffee. Super friendly service. A very clean and welcoming atmosphere.

Great little home town restaurant. Friendly staff and delicious food. What else can you ask for? Highly recommended!

Very good home cooking. Ordered the meat lovers skillet and it was delicious. Everyone was courteous and kind. The service was prompt and efficient. read more

Yum yum yum delicious Harry breakfast perfectly prepared presented and served. Glad I ditched the fake eggs at the holiday inn express.

I grew up with this place basically in my back yard. It's not much but it's home food. Not every option they have is for everybody but they will do their hardest to find something that suits you. When you dine here your treated like family. They say looks can be deceiving. This place will forever be 5/5 for me. read more

The food is ok. The staff tries but the management is poor. The staff complain to guests about management and the manager yells at employees in the dining room. I don't care for the environment at all. I have been there several times and it is always the same. I'll not go back if I am given my pick of restaurant. read more

We have ate here many time before and the food was good, but today it was terrible, my husband got the gyro on pita bread and the meat was overcooked, I got the liver and onions, the liver was like shoe leather, it will be a while before we go back. read more

Nothing special food-wise. No idea where five star reviews came from. Just ordinary Don't want to hear your politics, thanks very much. It's rude. How about improving the food & menu instead? read more

Great food and very friendly staff! Such a cute small hometown feel while we where in Howe for 4 days!

Great local restaurant. Clean and friendly. Food and service great. Generous portions. This place will not disappoint.

About to write this place off! The hash browns could have used more cooking time, they were on the raw side. The biscuits could also have been baked longer, they were very doughy in the center. read more

This review contains multiple reviews, the first day we ate here we had the large Grilled Chicken Salad, this salad is huge and was really good. The waitress we had was great and attentive. Now the guy behind the register is another story, he was rude to the staff in front of everyone always raising his voice to them. The second and third day the guy that was rude the previous day was not there, the atmosphere in the restaurant was more relaxed. We had Diane as a waitress and she was spot on, she was friendly, attentive and had a great personality. We had breakfast the last two times we ate here, they were quick and delicious. So ask for Diane and tell her you want a deep fried skunks a**, she'll get a kick out of that. read more

We've eaten here lots of times. Nice people. Great place to have breakfast. They were very helpful when we had a birthday party there with 50+ people. Update... Angelo always tells me they make the best pizza in the world, so I finally tried it, and he might be right. It's good! We had the Angelo's Special. Homemade crust and homemade sauce. read more
