Train Station Pancake House is a family owned, local restaurant that sells way more than pancakes…read more The menu is broad with hamburgers and tenderloins and prices are great. The restaurant is in a renovated train depot. The decor is a mix of styles. We were seated in a comfy booth by a window. Daily specials were listed on a board. Our server was attentive and friendly. She was busy with the lunch crowd, but managed to check on us frequently. I had a patty melt with a side salad. The salad was huge and fresh. The patty melt was covered in fabulous fried onions and melted cheese. It was a tasty and filling. My husband had the tenderloin with fries. The tenderloin was hand breaded and delicious, but could have used a bit more seasoning in the breading. The fries and pickles were good and lunch was filling. The restrooms are clean and gorgeous. There is ample parking in their private lot. I recommend and will definitely return.

Would not recommend!!! First and last time going.

My boyfriend asked for a high chair again and this time the lady cleaning tables kindly got one for us and no apology from our waitress. Our waitress comes back for our food order and mid order runs off to grab sweetener for the other person with us and then takes the rest of the order quickly asking no questions about preferences. The food came out cold, the Mickey Mouse pancake was not even close to Mickey Mouse shaped and huge for a kids menu. Never once asked how we were doing, if we needed anything or how the food was. I would not recommend, they were not busy and there were plenty of people working at the time. Prices are somewhat high for the quality you get, I could have made better at home for less. Tables and decor is outdated and worn, but cute. Side note: they threw out a pair of someone's prescription eye glasses as well after two days.

First of all, the atmosphere/ambiance of JD is faultless! Sitting in the lovely conservatory…read morereminds us of visits to Tavern on the Green (sadly no longer) in Central Park. The bar area is old school cozy, and darker hued. Both areas are beautiful! The kitchen is open (always a plus) and filled with a very talented culinary team. Hosts are warm and welcoming. Service is impeccable with great attention to details, yet somehow, not stuffy. We've dined at Joseph Decuis many times over the years. There was a very brief period when the menu was a bit less than expected, mind you BRIEF, but we were happy to experience an evening dinner this past weekend that was once again par excellence! Exactly why we choose Joseph Decuis for special evenings out! As others have mentioned, it is pricey. However, if you appreciate exquisite freshness, innovation, and preparation (truly an art), and are looking for something out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to make a reservation! Photos of tonight's menu and some of our choices (a table of four) with explanations, below.

Came here upon recommendation of a work associate. The atmosphere was nice. The servers were really…read morenice. The wine list was concise but good. The food was surprisingly bland. We ordered tartar as a starter, and tomahawk Waygu steaks and while they were prepared properly, they were both just so bland. Both my business partner and I left the evening saying, "meh. That was underwhelming." I've had better steaks from my own cast iron pan at home with a sprinkle of sea salt. Another point of contention was that I specifically asked for a green vegetable and I was given carrots and peppers. Nothing green. For a meal that cost an arm and a leg, it was disappointing. Stars are for the great servers and the atmosphere.

I have been looking for sugar cream pie since my grandmother passed away. I try, and it never…read morecomes out right. Sweetie came close, and my cousin can make great ones, but I need it more often than just at holidays. You can't find it at restaurants. Oh, you can find the brown sugar version, but we're talking REAL sugar cream pie, with just sugar, cream, and a little nutmeg on top. This lady does that. Place your order, pull up to her house on a gravel road not quite in the middle of nowhere, and there is pie. For $10 (I think it was on special, normally $12?) you get a real, home-made sugar cream pie. Great crust. Filling that is a cross between pudding and custard in texture, and subtly sweet. Is it as good as grandma's? Close. I'm biased, of course, and we ate the whole thing in a day, so no real complaints. But differences: a little coconut flavor, which must be a local variation? Crust was not quite the same. But on its own, as a pie, as a sugar cream pie, very good. We heard of her on PBS, and had to come by as soon as we were up this way. We will be back. I saw variations like chocolate sugar cream, and she makes many other pies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc. Well worth a detour!

I'm a cookie snob. I'll admit it. Why eat a cookie if it's just ok? Well, these looked like that…read morehad good potential of being good cookies and...they were AWESOME. Of course I see that others said they had this one and that one but...I had all of the choices (I did share with my friend). I had the snickerdoodle - spot on. I had a bite of the peanut butter and my friend wouldn't share anymore because it was so good. I had the molasses (hello old school) and it was delicious as well. The chocolate chip was also good but why have that if you can have one of the others. I'm not sure where this business is located as I ate these cookies at Board and Brush. I might have to sign up for another class just to eat more cookies!

While we love FF, we had never attended one of their monthly (in season) wine dinners. This dinner surpassed our expectations, which were pretty high already! The service was warm, welcoming, friendly but not intrusive. Their natural casual ambience was enhanced by white linens, fresh flowers, and candles at the tables. The food...oh the food! Fabulous (see pics)! Next wine dinners will likely resume in the fall. It's a small restaurant so only the lucky ones who reserve in time get in! The chef and his wife, Kendra, are wonderful hosts!

The restaurant was a lot more kitschy than I was expecting, which I loved. Our waitress had a wonderful energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had several unique items. I ordered a Scottish soda called IRN BRU. I love trying food and drinks from around the world. It tasted like an Orange Crush soda. Our waitress said they were known for their Cauliflower soup. It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

It's a few minutes off the highway, but certainly doesn't feel like you're in Gas City, IN. It looks like they added on an outdoor space recently. Nothing too extravagant, but nice enough for lunch. A nice younger man took care of us on the patio. The menu was quite eclectic and unique. The tortilla chips and cold bean dip was a great way to start. Both our soups were fantastic....cheddar cheese for one and leek soup the other. Fish and chips hit the spot and apparently a fan favorite. My wife had the club sandwich of GF bread. Great little local spot if you're ever in the area.

Breakfast food doesn't typically merit strong opinions one way or another, but everyone in our party of 5 remarked at how good it was. Ambiance: Lots of natural sunlight, although the noise factor was a little high. Service: Well, there were a few issues. They were at-capacity, and one person in our group never got his pancake until we asked multiple times. By the time they finally brought it to the table, everyone else had finished eating, I had already paid the bill, and I had my car keys in my hand. They'll eventually work out the kinks I'm sure.
