    I hadn't been in quite some time but have returned to the area several times recently. Had their broasted chicken dinner. So tender and juicy. They Cole slaw is also delicious. Bean soup is served piping hot and is hearty but not heavy. The restaurant has been a staple in this small town for years and still delivers a great dining experience. The bartender has a tendency to wear her mask as a chin diaper. Didn't order any drinks but that should be corrected. Will return soon.

    The food was good, we had a big table and the service was fast. Our group found the history of the building fun.

    Driving to Chicago from Auburn, IN and needed breakfast when we stumbled upon this little gem, and…read moreas soon as we walked in we were already composing this review. The decor is country comfortable, with handmade art and other touches. Friendly staff and customers all made us feel like regulars, and the food was exactly what we'd expected. The place is small and fills up fast and since it was just us two at a four top, we invited another couple to join us. This is a rare occurrence, as my spouse is not real outgoing, but soon we were chatting like casual friends over a meal. The menu is breakfast and lunch (they close at 2pm) and they have all the usual items, but with a made-at-home feel. I had French toast and bacon and the bread was very thick and flavorful, and the bacon was better than average. Coffee is included in the price of the meal and was good, too. If you're driving west from Auburn and taking the path less traveled, time to visit Avilla and get fed!

I was able to get a seat fairly quick, as someone else offered to move onto another table with a friend. After looking over the menu and getting coffee, I ordered the stuffed hashbrown at $12.50. 10-15 minutes later I received a mountain of food. There was hashbrown, of course, bacon, ham, sausage crumbles, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, scrambled eggs and gravy. I might have left out an ingredient or two. Hard to tell. I wasn't able to eat it all. The waitress was very attentive and brought coffee refills. I can't wait to go back and try the sampler platter!

I was glad to get my visit in, as they are seasonal and will be closing for the winter next week. This time, there were about 12 cards in front of me, and it took about 30 min to get through the line. I know from looking at past pics that their prices have gone up (hasn't everything?!) , but nothing too extreme -- maybe $.50-ish on items, still really great deals. I ordered a cheeseburger/ fries/ drink combo, a small pup cup for my dog, and a chocolate cherry milkshake. I also ordered extra packets of ketchup and mayo. So my one :( is that I got my bag, an no ketchup or mayo. Then I asked for some and was given ketchup pakets but told mayo was an extra charge. How much? $.60. Meh, no thanks. Not that that the $ would have mattered, but I think at a burget joint, you shouldn't charge for that as a customer service issue. Especially when things like lettuce, tomato, onion etc are already included if you want them! Anyway, the buger was good, the fries were a little salty (they seem frozen, not homemade, but I ate them all), the shake was tasty, and my dog loved his pup cup! #yum #ReviewsByRL

Kind of pricey if you ask me. They added corn dogs to their menu however they are just frozen ones. I thought they were homemade batter dipped or something special. The line was extremely long which was not surprising as there is not many other choices to eat in town. Expect a wait if you go the evening time. With that being said, the hot dogs were still very good.

This facility is a little older but in good repair and clean. It's decor is a little dated. The team here was very nice and prompt with service. Sometimes you don't get this full treatment unless you are a regular. My wife had the fish tacos and Cole slaw. She really liked the presentation and taste. The fish was flaky and moist. The dressing and lettuce were fresh tasting. The Cole slaw was okay. It was chopped somewhat fine with a slight mayo base. The cabbage was fresh but it really could have used more mayo with some seasoning. My side salad was very plain. The items were fresh but nothing to really distinguish the iceberg lettuce taste from the dressing. It was just kind of there. The onion rings were very good. They had a thin piece of onion in a little bit heavier batter. The batter has a slight salty flavor and retains some greasiness. That said...I really liked the onion rings. I had to try the fish and ribs combo when I saw it delivered to another table. The ribs were very tender and moist. The BBQ sauce was slightly sweet with a nice BBQ spice. The fish and tarter sauce were outstanding. The white fish was very flaky and moist. The portion sizes are pretty big. The tarter sauce was a bit more plain with a slight hint of sugar and relish. If you like fish...give Turkey Lake Tavern a try!
