I use to work there years ago. Never been back since because they have to pay the health inspector off or something. Their fridge and freezer are disgusting food put in there with no lids not clean like it should be. The owner is bipolar and disrespectful to everyone. The regulars are old men who try to touch your ass and you're just suppose to ignore it. read more

The food was delicious and the staff was even better! I've never felt so welcome at a restaurant

We ran across this restaurant during a long road trip & loved it so much we are planning to stop again on our way back through town. The food was fantastic and the service even better. They even allowed us to bring our small dog in since it was so cold out & we didn't want to leave her in the car. To top it off the owner made our dog a special meatball on the house! It was charming, friendly, reasonably priced & delicious! Very family friendly - Definitely recommend!!! read more

I wouldn't let the exterior and the basic name throw you off here, for the price you are paying you are definitely getting your moneys worth in Howes Breakfast Gem. The service is always friendly, the food is great for what you pay for it and it really does feel like a hometown restraunt. If you are traveling through Howe Indiana looking for a good breakfast, this is a go too place for not only Howe but a majority of the area. read more

When we got to the restaurant it was packed which is a good sign. The menu is expansive with many options. All day breakfast, wraps, salads, burgers etc. We are from out of town and had a great experience here. It was kid friendly and had a family atmosphere. The food was great. I had the Greek scramble and the hash browns were nice and crispy and my eggs were cooked perfectly it was a great combination of flavors and a large portion. My Mother in Law is a regular and loved her salad. The owner is very friendly and all the wait staff was very attentive. We will be back on our next trip to Michigan. read more

Seems like a local gem. Food pretty meh diner style. Pancakes were good. Would have preferred tastier food.

Excellent food. When I see a menu this big I usually find that they can't make it all taste good but this restaurant does! Never disappointed with food or service no matter when I go or what I order. Especially like their stuffed noodles! read more

Great Food and Great Service! Parking lot is always full during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Food is always fresh and hot. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody, Love it! read more

Want great food look no further! They have a great menu. Owners are so personable and funny. The waitress we had, had a beautiful smile, was attentive and we'll informed with the menu. We order the sampler appetizer. Huge onion rings, fries, chicken strips, battered mushrooms, jalapeno poppers, and cheese sticks. I personally order the 21 shrimp platter, came with fries and vegetable and a salad. So much food I had to get a box. Checking out with the owner I asked about their delivery hours, he responded "6 am to close" 15 mile radius. The delivery menu is fantastic. Thank you! read more

Will not be back. Did not receive the food I ordered and the waitress' excuse was that the kitchen sometimes gets busy and doesn't pay attention. The entire time we were there the owner was singing his own praises and talking politics so loudly that we couldn't hear each other at our table. read more

Very good breakfast. The spinach and feta omelette was loaded with spinach, which I really like. Light on the feta, which I also like. My husband like biscuits and sausage gravy. They need a few more waitresses-service was slow but very friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend read more

Howe Restaurant - Gravy and biscuits skillet! Very good - American Near Me - Howe, Indiana

Only ever been here for breakfast. The food is always good but the dining room is so cramped full of people. The staff is always hustling, trying to not collide into each other. If they upgraded the dining area I would give 5 stars. The place is always absolutely packed due to the food. read more

This is my special needs kiddos favorite place to eat. And I must agree with him prices are good you get well more that what you pay for and all of the staff makes you feel like family read more

Delicious food and great service. The House Burger was huge! So glad we stopped in for dinner when we stayed in the area for vacation! read more

Comfort food at its best! Nothing fancy, just super-generous portions of good home cooking. I had fried chicken (4 pieces!) and it was crispy and very tasty. Would have been 5-stars but the breast piece was refrigerator cold in the center. Not a problem though, just saved it and ate it later, picnic style. read more

We were passing through and looking for a restaurant with a variety of meal options. This place fit the bill. It is a typical small town cafe. They have breakfast all day and many options for lunch and dinner. I had the Combo Biscuit Which was biscuits and gravy (two large biscuits) and shredded potato hashbrowns (like they should be - not those sorry excuse cubed potatoes). The flavors were excellent and the quantity is humongous- there is a reason they offer a half order - I should have gotten the half order. My wife had the tuna salad sandwich and fries. She wasn't overly impressed with the sandwich - it was fine, just not anything special, but the home sliced French fries were outstanding. We will definitely go back the next time we are in the area. read more

Rudest server ever!!! We went there today for lunch. It was very busy and all tables were full.We thought the food must be good and we're looking forward to eating here as we never had. We got our table and drinks and after 9-10 minutes without having our orders taken I asked the girl cleaning tables if we could get our order taken. We noticed several tables that had been waited on who arrived after us, and we were not being impatient. A few minutes later the server arrived. She said she had 6 tables to cover and she didn't need to deal with rude people and she didn't care who heard her. We weren't really sure she was talking about us and gave her our order. A couple minutes later she walked past openly talking about dealing with rude customers and looking at us as she went by. Now we realized she was talking about us. We did not say anything because we really did not want to make any more of an issue of it. Within 2 minutes she came to wait on the table behind us and as she finished she said to that table. "Thank you for not being rude like the table behind you" At this point my wife and were so offended we got up and confronted her and left. During the exchange she continued to say we were rude and didn't have to wait that long to be waited on. We didn't care that it took a while to get to us but her open hostility to us was disgusting. As we left she acted as if she did nothing when the other staff asked what was the issue. I told them we will never be back!! Rudest. Server. Ever!!!! read more

Place needs a deep cleaning. If it is that dirty and dusty in the dining room, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like! We won't be back!! read more

This is the place that no matter where I am in the country, when I say I'm from Howe, Indiana, people somehow know about this restaurant. The food is very complimentary of the area where most people have sit down, home cooked meals daily. Food is great, the staff feels like family and the owner is always happy to see you. They deliver too! If this place didn't exist, summers spent on one of the local lakes wouldn't be as pleasant and carefree. It's wonderful that Howe, as a community, is home to a restaurant that is loved by all that pass through. read more

Local diner that offers a welcome break from all the turnpike plaza McDonald's. It's a very mom & pop kind of diner just south of the turnpike. If your stomach has started to turn itself inside out but you're still fighting the dark side that is fast food plazas and rest stops, then this is a great place to order some decent chow. Having traveled to many states from California to D.C., I will admit that there are better diners out there with tastier food but this place has a real nice local allure and the staff is friendly so it makes your visit feel quite welcoming and the food isn't bad either. We ordered omelets, sausage links, corn beef hash (a bit dry), mac and cheese (wish it had more flavor but it wasn't greasy so that's a plus), and fresh squeezed juice (which tasted great). Not much more to say, keep your eyes open so you don't pass it up and don't be surprised how busy it can get. The worn-in, probably-looks-the-way-it-did-on-opening-day is appealing so I hope they never change the interior or exterior. Overall 3 stars, but if you've never left this town then it's probably like a 5 star. Hmmmm, ok, I'll give it 4. read more

A foodie should never judge a restaurant by how it looks. I stayed in Howe on my way to Michigan just for one night. I ordered the Agelo's pizza with thin crust and homemade sauce. That pizza was FANTASTIC! It was not too salty at all, which happened to lots pizza. The crust is thin but not too dry or too chewy. All the employees in this restaurant were super friendly and helpful when you had no idea what you want. Any of them knew any of their food! Another thumb up for their delivery service. I didn't order for delivery but I thought that could be convenience because the restaurant was located in the middle of almost nowhere :) read more

This restaurant is a perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover." This quaint, homely, local restaurant appears to be a low-quality diner from the outside, however we were pleasantly surprised. Situated in a small town a few minutes from the toll road, it is very convenient for a pit-stop meal. The food was better than expected from the outside and the chocolate cream pie was delicious! However the waitress was the best part of the experience. She was very attentive, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. She will make you feel happy that you had stopped to eat there. I will definitely stop again if I find myself nearby! read more

Better then ever love this place try the hit turkey sandwhiches u won't regret it delious

This place is bomb! Owner very friendly! Thank you Angelo!!! Food was amazing! Ordered the French toast. Delicious!!! read more

Tired of the same old chain restaurants? Had a wonderful breakfast and going back for dinner. Excellent food and service with a smile :) read more

First timers & will stop again when traveling by Howe, Indiana. My husband prefers breakfast to any other meal & this restaurant does not disappoint. For him eggs, smoked sausage, served with a pancake he said was in his top five for fluffiness & flavor. I chose the Greek scramble and it was not only a size-able portion but equally tasty. Heard there was a good breakfast pizza (not currently on menu). I will try it next time. read more

Howe Restaurant - Greek Scramble - American Near Me - Howe, Indiana

Staff are friendly, pleasant warm atmosphere, and good food. There's a large variety of food on the menu, and portions are big. The only complaint I have is the burger was plenty big but there wasn't enough cheese on it. The shrimp dinner my wife ordered was big and came with all the sides and a salad which was great. Will be back. read more

I've been stopping in at this place about once a month for the past four years on the way back and forth to Culver Academies from Cleveland. Until recently, I've always enjoyed burgers, soup, sandwiches or dinner specials here and have never been disappointed. Then a couple of months ago, owner Angelo told us about the pizza and brought out some sauce, cheese and pepperoni for us to sample, so next time I ordered one. This was one of the best pizzas ever! All of the components - crust, sauce, cheese and toppings - are super fresh and tasty. The sauce, cheese and toppings go all the way to the edge. I wish someone could make a pizza like that where I live. The service is always friendly and attentive. I get the impression that Angelo runs a tight ship and that the staff like and respect him. They do everything they can to make sure the customers are happy. The end result is a delicious, satisfying, hearty meal every time in a clean, pleasant setting. The prices are very reasonable. Everything on the extensive menu is a bargain. Great value for your money! Pro tip: When you're about 20 minutes away, call ahead to order a pizza and it'll be waiting for you, nice and hot, when you walk in the door. read more

Love the 21 shrimp platter. Wait staff is always friendly. Owner is kind and likes to chat.

Finally made it here for a night time meal. Ordered a pizza - Hawaiian, my favorite (don't judge lol). Came out quick and was hot and delicious. Would definitely order again. My hubby had the Village Salad - which is really more like a traditional greek salad in Greece. Lots of tomatoes and cucumbers with some kalamata olives and feta - no lettuce. Came with a side of fresh pita. He really liked it. We also got a subway sandwich to go - we have a long drive ahead of us. This place continues to be our go to spot when we are travelling through. read more

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. The Breakfast Is always amazing they give you a ton of food. There Burgers with Fries are amazing. They also have an amazing Lasagna. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The owner has added Pizza with fresh premium toppings. Very good! If you come for breakfast you could be waiting for a table. It fills up fast but it's well worth the wait. read more

One of the best places to eat around Lagrange County, In. Food is very reasonable and also very good. You don't have to worry about leaving hungry. read more

Where do I start? 1. Order wrong: I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and a small cheese pizza with ham and pineapple. After waiting quite some time, just one pizza came out. It was a large ham and pineapple. 2. Menu prices just don't add up: there is a long list of toppings including ham and pineapple. A small two topping pizza is $9.99. But if you order ham and pineapple, they charge you for a "Hawaiian," which is $10.56. Of course, because they made a large Hawaiian, they charged me full price for a large Hawaiian. I asked about the discrepancy and he said it was because they don't usually put pineapple on pizza (despite the fact that it is clearly on the ingredient list). 3. The pizza is not good at all: they use chunky ham with giant pockets of gristle that you can't chew. The cheese is just piled in the center and makes it soggy and all the ingredients fall off. The crust is dry and tastes like cardboard. 4. The restaurant is disgusting: I waited quite some time for the pizza so I got a chance to look around. The candy dish by the register was the first red flag. It was dirty and had the sugar crystals from sour patch kids at the bottom. The sour patch kids were gone but instead of cleaning the dish, they just added various wrapped and unwrapped candies together on the top. Just gross. The desserts all looked old and congealed and there were random drinks and other stuff in the case. Just a dirty restaurant. 5. Customer service is ingenuine and insincere: I ordered clearly and they simply got it wrong. There was no sincere apology, no offer to make it right. In fact they charged me more than they should have. I spent more time than I should have on this whole ordeal and now I still have hungry kids. Just sad. read more

This wasn't a good experience. First, had to seek out the waitress to take our order. Food scraps were strewn on the floor. I had to swat flies off my legs and finally my breakfast order was cooked incorrectly and had to be remade. I won't ever return read more

Best family restaurant/diner in the Midwest. Angelo and his team serve up a great variety of food with a great staff!

It is as best as it can get for small town place, The food is amazing and I was much more impressed by staff who is as friendly as family. We order pizza and country burger with fries, It was finger licking goooood.. :) read more

We were traveling from Chicago to NW OHio to visit family and our two toddler boys were overtired and hungry. Usually they're quite well behaved little boys. My husband and I discussed their epic meltdowns and we agreed it was a top three tantrum while eating at Howe's. We had to take turns taking our kids outside to calm them down, it was so bad!!! I am writing this review primarily based on how kind and hospitable the staff were to help us calm our kiddos down so we could grab a couple bites of food. They talked to them, distracted them, had hidden candy to quiet them down, they were working overtime! And the food was very good. The applesauce must've been homemade and the burgers were big and tasty. Thank you, Howe's Restaurant for turning a disaster into a very nice experience! read more

This is a pretty simple restaurant... and for a pit stop on the highway it isn't bad. The food was pretty good and affordable though I wouldn't say it's the healthiest place on the planet. Dinged one star because they were playing FOX News in the diner and one of the waiters began talking politics to us during lunch. No bueno. read more

We went here for breakfast with our children and brother and sister-in-law from Detroit everyone done an excellent job. Candy had a table all ready for 14 of us. We had a cute little blonde waitress who was so efficient I would give her five stars just for the way she took care of everybody not just at our table but throughout the restaurant we never had to wait for anything he had to make out five separate bills and cater to several small children at our table. Cuz it was my wife Lynn birthday and everyone there was so polite and professional couldn't ask for a better meal read more

Great home cooking and huge portions! Had a side of stuffing and it was a whole dinner plate. Soo good! Everyone knows everyone there and as soon as you walk in they treat you like a friend also. This is the place all the locals eat so you know it's good. They also deliver and the phone didn't stop ringing with orders. They were so busy at 5:00 they were telling callers it would be an hour wait! And they were willing to wait. Didn't affect our service dining in though, it was great! read more
