    Veggie Hummus Wrap
    Ron M.

    Veggie Hummus wrap had great flavors! Great atmosphere. Plenty of street parking. They had sea salt on the tables which was great. Only wish I could have gotten grilled mushrooms in the wrap.

    I stumbled upon this place by pure accident on a cold Tuesday morning in December. I was taking care of some business downtown and happened to see this cafe across the street. The outside looked exactly like somewhere I would enjoy, so I stopped in for a coffee and some breakfast. Oh my goodness! The charm of this place was off the charts. My wife and I just relocated to Kokomo from a bigger city in Indiana due to some unforeseen circumstances, and finding a small local breakfast/lunch spot like this is a perfect reminder of the places we used to frequent, and dearly miss. The fact that such a wonderful little locally ran restaurant is around and surviving really speaks to the character of Kokomo that I think is hidden from peoples general perception. Being in the cafe makes me smile a little and feel like I'm somewhere I can truly come home. Is there a better feeling? Is there greater praise I can offer? I don't think there is. I've found our little corner of Kokomo. I can't wait to be back regularly. P.S. My latté and bagel sandwich were insanely delicious. The rest of the food on the menu looked amazing, as well as fairly priced.

    In town for business and was needing a mid-day cup of coffee. A local suggested the cafe and I am glad I listened! The coffee was very good... I ordered a second! And, I went back the next day as well. There was a bit of a line both times but not too bad and worth the wait. It can be so easy to just hit Starbucks when traveling and I'm very glad I broke that rut here.

    Medium Vanilla latte and a small cookies and cream "smoothie".

    Great little place to grab a coffee or lunch! The staff is always pleasant and the owner is often there friendly and talking with customers. From basic coffee to lattes to blended drinks to Italian sodas, pick your favorite. I often stop by if I happen to be in the area and have time to grab their coffee of the day -which is often a flavored coffee... It's always been ready to go, hot and fresh. We have also stopped a couple of times at lunch time as well and their soups are always good as well... And gluten free! The black bean soup is loaded with beans and flavorful. My husband is looking forward to trying the nitro coffee when they start that back up soon with the warmer weather. I only wish they were open later into the evenings as sometimes we are on our way through town and it would be great to be able to grab a coffee as we are passing through.

    The very definition of a hole in the wall. So review has nothing to do with ambiance lol…read moreI'm a transplanted New Yorker so a tenderloin is not part of my memories and honestly, I mostly don't enjoy fried sandwiches. In the world of tenderloins, these are stars. I ordered a lunch special my husband wisely ordered the tenderloin. Mine was...well look at the pictures. It was very tasty with the tenderloin you can taste that it's pork not a fried cracker. I will certainly get one next time. It's honestly the way to go.. I have a very sensitive nose and I can smell old oil at 100 feet there was no smell of oil at all. My husband had fries and they were not at all oily. Your waiter and waitress are the owners and the cook and whatever needs to be done I guess very pleasant prompt service. I'm going to post a bunch of pictures. The mashed potatoes in the picture are actual mashed potatoes not fake The green beans are probably canned possibly frozen. They were fine. My husband is the gravy connoisseur and he said the gravy was excellent. Everything you see in the pictures that I post everything including a 20% tip came to $22 and less than $.50 unbelievable .

    Artie's is a little corner sandwich shop that has been around since the 1940's. The tiny diner…read moreprobably hasn't changed much over those 80 years with original vinyl counter seats and Formica tables. I counted five booths and five counter stools that stayed full during our visit. The staff (a couple) are salt-of-the-earth sweet and hustle to keep orders coming. They know the regulars by name and cajole about family. The menu offers breakfast or lunch, with tenderloins as the featured items. Prices are inexpensive. Food comes out quickly. The tenderloins are premade and frozen. They are thin and the breading is flavorful. I had the daily special, a Tenderloin Manhattan which came with green beans and mashed potatoes. This was pure comfort food. The potatoes and tenderloin were good, but the gravy was over salty for me. My husband had the tenderloin sandwich with fries. The tenderloin was ok and the fries were really hot and good. An article on the wall indicated that Artie, the original owner, passed away in an auto accident in 1954. A local business award plaque hung above our table. I'm not sure that the shop is A.D.A. compliant as there are steps at the front door and the aisle is very narrow. There may be a ramp at a rear entrance, I couldn't tell. We found free street parking on an adjacent street. I give the place high marks on character and I love the service. The food is ok.

    I decided to check out an unfamiliar vendor today at the Statehouse Market, a weekly farmer's…read moremarket sort of event held from May through early October at the Indiana Government Center complex in downtown Indy. As a State of Indiana employee, I attend Statehouse Market weekly but I can definitely get in a rut in terms of the vendors I choose. The Overgrown Pasture is a relative newbie, though they've been a fairly steady presence throughout this particular season. First off, they have a very cool truck. It's easily one of the more unique ones present and they've quickly become quite popular with that combination of a compelling presence and super friendly employees. I do believe the owner/co-owner was on the truck today and definitely makes you want to come back. They describe themselves as serving "farm fresh street cuisine." That's a great description. The menu was fairly simple with four major entrees - a Monte Cristo, a Pork Tenderloin, a Double Burger, and a Pulled Pork Cubano. They also offered half-pound sides of Mexican Street Corn and Kimchi Potato Salad. They also offered up some creative drink options. This really is just a fun vendor. While I usually go for burgers, I opted for the pork tenderloin. It's cajun roasted pork tenderloin, aged white cheddar, tomato jam, mayo, lettuce, tomato, on ciabatta. I requested it without the cheddar and that was not a problem. The price came in at $12 without a tip. They do take credit cards or cash. I'd be anxious to see how tenderloin connoisseurs feel about this one. It's certainly nowhere near a traditional tenderloin, though I liked it quite a bit. It was a little messier than expected and I hadn't grabbed napkins. The Cajun roasting made it feel lighter than I usually experience with tenderloin. It wasn't quite the best I've had, though I would definitely order it again. Sometimes, it seems like food trucks deliver much heavier food and this was a nice change of pace. The flavor combo was great. Part of me thinks I should go 4 stars, however, I really like the unique take on this sandwich and the flavor combo is a lot of fun. For me, that adds up to a 5-star when you add the terrific customer service. I really want to try the double burger. I might try the Pulled Pork Cubano. The Monte Cristo is outside my taste buds. The ordering process was a touch slow, though the food delivery was rather timely. On a hot day, that was nice. I couldn't find a lot about The Overgrown Pasture, though they do have a website and do seem to make appearances at a variety of events. They seem to be active on social media and I'm kind of surprised this is their first Yelp review. It looks like they regularly appear on the Kokomo and Whitestown areas - thus, my assumption is they are not based in Marion County. So, I'm definitely glad they come to Statehouse Market. I did see they will be at Gen Con in August. Overall, this was a terrific experience and I look forward to their return at Statehouse Market.
