    BBQ Grilled Cheese Sandwich
    John S.

    Some of the nicest food service workers I've ever met. Super helpful when selecting a meal. They overcharged us and came over while we were eating to inform us of the refund. Then the worker came over to check how our food was and if we needed anything else. Highly recommend the BLT or the BBQ Grilled Cheese. If you do the meal, get the parmesan ranch style chips. The portions were great! The interior has a small store and a dining area beside the salad bar. The restroom is small but has a baby changing area if needed.

    Found another gem in West Lafayette! When you walk into The Homestead you're immediately transported to a farm stand that has a cafe attached. The ambiance was soothing. . .soft, relaxing music was playing in the background. I went for lunch when they offer soups, sandwiches, and pizza. I had half a Homestead Stack and the salad bar as a side. The fresh made bread was toasted to perfection while the inside was warm and juicy with ooey, gooey melted cheese. Be sure to visit the shop on your way out to take home more tasty treats!

    Breakfast Croissant 10/10! First time here and it didn't disappoint. I got some to go items and a hot meal as well. I'll definitely be back. This place is the perfect place to go if you want meals frozen for a gift.

    Simple sandwich stop but very tasty. I had the Italian with the dressing on the side and was very satisfied with the delicious crunch of the bed and melty cheese. They also have a salad bar and tons of home cooked frozen meals to go.

    Menu as of 9/12/22

    Let me start with straight up honesty here. When I saw that this place had ALL 5 Star reviews, I was skeptical. Looked to me like some sort of "loading of stars" going on here, but I must come clean. This place absolutely 100% deserves ALL THE STARS. The Homestead is part homemade food to go (they have a lovely little frozen grocery area with tons of homemade food items) and part fresh food made of excellent, highest quality. It's a simple place where you order at the counter and then have a seat til your order is ready. They have a large, delicious looking salad bar (you pay by weight so prep your salad first and the pay), delicious looking desserts (the doughnut was in buy top 5 of best doughnuts of all time), and the most amazing sandwiches. I never knew a BLT could taste this good! My husband and I split a Stack sandwich - it was delicious. I don't imagine there is a single item on the menu where you could go wrong. We will be back to visit every time we see our kid in West Lafayette - it is that good!

    Samples!

    The Homestead is like a warmer, friendlier, less corporate Cracker Barrel. It has a charming old-timey vibe, and a down-home menu to match. Food-wise, the Homestead is something like a deli, with a decent salad bar, a *great* sandwich menu, and a tempting dessert menu to round out your stay. And "stay" is the right word here, with a few comfy couches and plush chairs to hang out in, a knick-knack shop, and generally a feel that makes you believe that they're glad you're there.

She was awesome and hooked me up with all three, which turned out to be the perfect move. The sandwich was massive--easily a third of a pound of meat. I went for the fatty cut, and it didn't disappoint; you could see a legit smoke ring on the meat and the deep, smoky flavor stood up on its own even before adding a drop of sauce. It was a solid experience from start to finish. I'm definitely swinging back through when I need a quick, heavy fix.

Once you walk in, you walk up to a counter place your order and they will call out your name on the order is ready for pick up. There is also a fully self service station for sauces as well as Takeaway boxes if you need them. The menu offers a lot of different combinations and samplers and meats from pork to chicken. The sides are also a little bit unique in the sense that the vegetable sides also have added bacon, which is great to see. I personally love to see hush puppies, which is a very antiquated and rare to find option for food. And they did not disappoint. Overall, I would say from the sampler of the ribs and the chicken were fantastic as well as the pulled pork. The brisket was OK, but did not necessarily stand out. We did try four different barbecue sauces, which were all fantastic. The hush puppies as I stated earlier were absolutely delicious and I would come back just for these. We also got the corn pudding, which was a little bit on the sweeter side, but made and baked fresh just like everything else here. And this was a great alternative to cornbread. To top it all off, the staff here was so super nice, especially the young man at the counter when you first walked in as he also offered up a sample of the corn pudding because I've never heard of corn pudding nor did I ever tried it and this was also my first visit. I would definitely come back here again, and/or visit any of their other locations closer to Indy.

Down a winding hallway and up a flight of stairs, the Rat Pak is a medium-large, long rectangular event space featuring two bars offset from the main space, a pretty tin ceiling, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a gorgeous view of the courthouse from a wall of windows. For the event I attended, there were string lights strung over the seating and stage area that were very pretty. This would be the perfect place for a wedding reception, quinceañera, or other large party event. Employees were friendly, energetic, and seemed happy to be there. The bartenders at the smaller inner bar were especially friendly. The event I was there for was packed, and the bar line w/ one bartender moved pretty fast I would give 5 stars, but several of the employees (of the venue, not the event I was there for, as they seemed to be affiliated with the owner) were drinking heavily before and while working. one kept trying to get back in the bar line, and kept heckling guests to be allowed to cut in front of them. When he was checking tickets, after the event was already under way so the only people were attendees going to the bar or the bathroom, he was weirdly aggressive and was still drinking while doing it. People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary to interact in this way. (purple dress-shirt, black vest, multicolored tie, short white man... his coworker, a white women in a glittery wrap dress who got up on stage to yell at people about where they were sitting was also drinking, and egged the drunk employee on while he was harassing guests in the bar line) People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary.
