    Egg Roll of the Week!
    Jen F.

    Everything about this place is amazing. The food is creative and delicious. They feature an egg roll of the week and it's always something thoughtful. On my visit, it was pot roast and you dipped in gravy! The entrees were heavenly. The building is so beautiful inside and out. Everything is well appointed. Service? Outstanding. The also went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our special occasion extra memorable. It's 1.5 hours from Indy. Just. Do. It.

    Wife and I had 6pm reservation, were a little early, but seated right away. The greeters were very friendly and Carrie was our friendly, helpful server. I ordered Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and vegetables on the recommendation of Carrie. My dish was fantastic!!! Tender chicken with wonderful mushroom sauce and the carrots and broccoli were some of the tastiest I ever had anywhere. They tasted like they were pulled out of the garden today. Wife ordered Chicken Tenders which I already know are fabulous. They come with fries. She said everything was GOOD. Wife had 2 tenders left to take home. I helped her finish the fries. We ordered Key Lime Pie to share for dessert at Carrie's approval. We were SO glad to order that item. It is the BEST Key Lime Pie we ever had ANYWHERE. What an absolutely delightful dessert. The cheesecake was so good, but had the most exquisite strawberry sauce on the plate with 2 spots of whipped cream and 2 large strawberries sliced, but still intact with the top. 1894 has incredible food with amazing presentations. I think I have said this before; there is a great following in the quaint town of New Washington Indiana. If this restaurant was in the areas of Louisville with some of the Big Boy restaurants, they would easily compete for favorite dining spot. 1894 is historic and delivers epic food and service. Nothing is done halfway. Logan is doing everything PERFECT.

    French onion soup
    Mark M.

    Went to 1894 Lodge with some friends on Thursday. Decided to sit upstairs because there was a half price special on wine and appetizers on the 2nd floor only. Started with a bottle of Trefethen vineyards red wine, the egg roll special, goat cheese fritters and bang bang shrimp. They were all very good. We then had French onion soup which was great. The main courses were Lodge fried chicken, meatloaf, fish and chips and Luke's schnitzel. All were unique combinations but very good. The fish was a very large portion. We finished with bourbon bread pudding. Our server Audrey was very good and checked on us often. Sorry but the only picture I took before we dug in was the French onion soup.

    Meatloaf

    We visited 1894 on a Saturday night in January, we had a party of 8. The waitress was very pleasant, prompt, and took such great care of us. Amongst the table, we ordered the Philly cheesesteak wontons that came with a beer cheese dipping sauce - very hot, crisp, and tasty. We also had a wedge salad with blue cheese, it was super fresh, loaded with bacon and dressing. Excellent wedge. For entrees, two people had the fried chicken and said the chicken itself was fantastic, but the macaroni it was served with was just okay - not cheesy or creamy, kinda dried out. I personally had the meatloaf, which was served atop of mashed potatoes and topped with BBQ and crispy onions. I LOVED this dish!! Would definitely order again. Another person had the lobster ravioli special and said it was superb, and it was also a huge portion. Overall, we loved our experience here and will drive back out again. The only complaint is that the building is old and it was pretty cool and drafty. Dress warm if you visit in the dead of winter.

    Specials - the egg rolls are to die for

    Found myself with a half day off so I decided to make the 40 minute trip to New Washington because this place has been bookmarked by me for quite some time now. I made a reservation just in case and boy was I glad I did, people were waiting outside for the doors to open - but I kind of get it, this is a little oasis in what is otherwise a dead small town. The only other things on this street are a gas station and a hardware store. Leslie was our server and she was amazing, very prompt, professional and friendly. She recommended the smoked old fashioned which was delicious and came in a little box filled with smoke. Very clever! My entree was the meatloaf, which came with mashed potato and roasted vegetables. The menu said it was first come first serve and that it sells out fast and I can believe it. Very moist and flavorful! I also got to sample the egg roll of the day which was italian beef and those were so great. If they made those a permanent fixture on the menu I might have to drive up there once a week to get some! Also the goat cheese app? Next level, what a treat. Definitely get those if you are here. All in all a five star experience that was so unexpected and delightful. Highly recommend.

    Hot Brown
    Jeffrey G.

    The first time going to 1894 Lodge for me, my spouse, son and daughter. The other guests in our party of 11 had been there before on multiple occasions. Very good experience. Our party included 2 small kids...1 and 5 years of age. We all shared apps of wings, Big Mac egg rolls and crab dip. 2 in our party ordered the Hot Brown. They reported as excellent. Three of our party ordered the Chicken Marsala. Reported as excellent flavor, with mashed potatoes, asparagus, broccoli and carrots (roasted vegetables). One person ordered the pork chop dinner also with roasted vegetables and a cherry sauce. I got a taste of the pork chop...I know what I'll be having next time!! Two of us ordered the 14oz ribeye. One with Brussels sprouts (as shown) and one with Mac and cheese (not shown). I had the ribeye with Brussels sprouts. My complaint is I thought it would be a thicker cut. So a medium steak was medium in a few places but medium-well to well done in several places. The steak was delicious even with that. Kaci was an awesome server. She was attentive and excellent!! I'll be back!!

    This is a very classy joint. They request you dress up. But most I seen were in jeans and a nice top. This was once an old school house and converted into many things afterwards before it became a restaurant. It has a romantic feel but is also family welcoming. The service was a little slow. But as most places are struggling right now it was not a surprise. But they worked their butts off and delivered great service. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was very good. We got the crab dip and Big Mac in a egg roll. The crab dip and bread was very delicious. They had a nice balsamic reduction drizzled on the bread which gave a nice sweet bite. The egg rolls were a little too prickly for my taste. I got the fish and chips for dinner with a side of their beer Mac and cheese. The max and cheese was a little dry but had a very nice taste. The fish was very moist and a nice crispy breading. The tarter was also a little prickly for my taste but was very nice and refreshing. I highly recommend this place. I would definitely like to go again.

    This is a hidden gem. The fact that this restaurant is as busy as it is in the middle of nowhere is a testament to the wonderful food

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service but I feel the food could have been a bit better. I…read morewould have rather seen/had some homemade potato chips vs some store bought chips as my side. Also the same goes for the buffalo chicken dip, I feel the plain Tostito rounds just weren't it and should have been restaurant style tortilla chips. My favorite thing was the bar setup and the close proximity to have some good bar conversations for sure. I'd be willing to try some other things here though if ever given the chance to go back.

    This locally-owned neighborhood bar and restaurant is located in a converted older home on Main…read moreStreet in the historic downtown area of La Grange. Train tracks run down the middle of Main Street and while we watched a train through the window while waiting on our meal. In addition to a bar area, there are multiple rooms with seating. The ambiance is cozy and nostalgic, and it feels as though you are sharing a drink and meal in someone's home. There is also an outdoor patio with seating. The menu has a variety of options, mostly higher-end bar-type dishes. I had the cheeseburger salad and it was huge and delicious. Our table shared appetizers (stuffed mushrooms and goat-cheese/artichoke dip with chips) and they were both great too, especially the goat-cheese/artichoke dip! This will definitely be where I get a meal when I visit La Grange. Parking is available in a lot behind the restaurant and street side in the walkable neighborhood.
