    Almost skinny chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun
    Kyle A.

    I think we are becoming regulars here. It's such a relaxing and friendly place with good food and service. This trip I tried the crab Rangoon dip and oh man, it was simply delicious. It comes with big chunks of crab meat covered in a cheese sauce and fresh fried crispy wonton chips. My only complaint was that I didn't order one entirely for myself! My entree was the almost skinny chicken sandwich. The pretzel bun, bacon, and house made honey mustard dressing combined with a grilled chicken breast and Gouda cheese is a near perfect combination if you ask me. One note for the fine operators here, the side salad in the teeny tiny boat dish was maybe 4 bites. Waaay too small. Pretty sure lettuce is cheap so let's get a nice side bowl next time?

    So I found myself in Pendleton and stopped here. Pretty much sorry that I did. They close at 7pm on Sunday and I arrived at 6:20pm. I sat down at the bar and waited 10 minutes for someone to actually notice me at the bar. I asked for a menu and a cocktail menu. I chose a cocktail off of their menu, Birthday Cake martini. I also chose the Garden Delight panini and the loaded fries on the side (yes there was an up charge for this). The bartender who seemed new put my order in and then started searching for the ingredients for the martini. I heard him discussing the ingredients for the martini with someone who clearly worked there but was on the customer side of the bar eating. I heard him ask about the raspberry cream that goes in the drink and there was none and then I heard her say just use strawberry. What? So they were going to sub strawberry (known allergen) without telling me. I spoke up then and said it is raspberry and she said you can use either one, so be careful y'all. I looked at the bartender and said just give me a pineapple and Malibu rum. Super simple! This was definitely a bar and it matters who is sitting at the bar as to how loud it is. It is all pretty open. So I received my food soon after that and the loaded fries were anything but, take a look at the pics! The sandwich was alright hence the two stars except by the time I got to the second half it was a bit soggy on the second side and I did not eat it or the fries which were severely lacking. Unlikely I will give this place a second try.

    The Almost Skinny is my new favorite!! Great recommendation by the server. The grilled tenderloin was also very good as an alternative to the traditional breaded version. The beers on tap rotate frequently which is great if you enjoy trying new craft beers.

    The food is always good. The service is very personal and friendly. They are awesome and the atmosphere is great.

    Good food, service, and ambiance. Enjoy stopping in for a drink and dinner. Have watched music here and it is fun. It is loud so it's hard to talk, but it's a fun time.

    Good food. Good service. Live music. Kitchen open late. Good price. It was late and a few of us needed to eat before we drove back to Indy. So we stopped in at The Stable to eat. We got the buckeyes for an appetizer. They are pretzel bites with a cheese sauce. I did not get a picture of them because they were eaten so quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger. It was good. All of the food that my friends got looked really good including the salads. I enjoyed the live music. About 3 different groups were up performing. A good variety of covers. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite at night and catch some local bands.

    Dined at The Stable last night and had an amazing Philly Cheesesteak and fries! Looks like weeknights are a great time to get dinner in here, there was plenty of seating available, our food came out fast, and the bartender (who was also our server) offered great customer service. She answered our questions about bands that came to play there, drink options and their menu favorites. I opted for a Philly Cheesesteak based on the reviews I had seen on Yelp. It didn't disappoint! The cheese and housemade horseradish sauce were super YUM! My husband had the Western burger that was piled high in bacon, bbq, and an onion ring. Their fries remind me of In-n-Out Burger fries, which if you've read my review on my first experience there - you'd know these were some of the best fries ever. We also ordered the Buckeyes as an app - pretzel bites and their own beer cheese. Triva is offered the first Wednesday night of every month and they have live music Thursdays-Saturdays. It's a seat yourself venue and bar, 21+ only so leave the kiddos at home. We did for a great date night!

    I visited a friend in Pendleton, and we went to the stable. I really enjoyed my visit! There was a live band doing relevant covers, the food was great, and the service was awesome. We got the spinach artichoke dip and pepperoni flatbread pizza. The spinach dip was extra cheesy, which I love. The flatbread pizza left a little to be desired, as I feel like their pizza sauce may need a little more seasoning. The girls bathroom was a little odd with one main secure door and two seperate stalls facing the door with no privacy. The stalls had no doors or curtains. Overall a great experience!

    Was in the area and decided to grab lunch as we often do when in a different locale…read more Noticed FoxGardin had great reviews and was very close by. We weren't going to get an appetizer but the bone marrow fries looked so good in pictures that we had to try them. They did not disappoint. Very large serving and extremely flavorful. Easily an appetizer for 4 or more people (there was only 2 of us so we brought some home). My dining partner is not normally a fries person and she loved these. For entree, my dining partner had today's special which was a shredded chicken sandwich that had a jalapeño cheese sauce and the house chips. She said it was very good and again half the sandwich came home. I had their breaded tenderloin which was very good, with nice breading to meat ratio and was a bit larger than the bun. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It came ala carte with no sides. Service was excellent, exceptionally friendly and really took care of us. One of the best waiters I've come across. Inside is a bar/pub like feel. We opted to eat in the air condition enclosed "patio" type area which had a bit more light, but was also noisy today due to the tin lined walls/ceiling and another group that was quite loud. Made it a bit hard to converse. Normally don't think this would be an issue. While not tons of items on the menu, the selection was quite varied and you could really splurge on a filet or other such dish and really go all in for a more lavish dinner or have a burger or tenderloin, all at any time of day. Parking was right in front of the restaurant but could see it being a bit tight on a busy day.

    I go here every chance I get, and usually forget to take photos of the delicious food!…read more I am so glad i took the advice of the earlier reviews to entice me to try it out the first time (now years ago). This place has been a hit with my "21+" family due to the great food, great location, and usually good service. Minors are not allowed. Our most recent visit yesterday had less than awesome service but maybe she was having a bad day. The building is old with lots of wood paneling ... very comfy. There are several other wonderful restaurants in Fortville which is great for me as I have several choices. I never would have guessed that this tiny suburb would have such epic cuisine!

    Bonge's Tavern is what would happen if a world-class kitchen crashed a backyard party in rural…read moreIndiana and everyone decided to keep it that way. The parking lot tailgating before dinner is half the experience. Where else can you sip a drink next to a pickup truck, make friends with complete strangers, and then walk inside to eat a meal that makes you question every life choice that led you to lesser restaurants? The food is absurdly good. The famous Perkinsville Pork deserves its own state holiday. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the menu somehow manages to feel both elevated and unapologetically Hoosier. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chaotic in the best possible way. Everyone having a great time. Come hungry. Come early. Bring a folding chair for the parking lot. Leave wondering why every restaurant isn't this much fun. 10/10. I'd drive past three chain restaurants and a dozen sensible decisions to eat here again. Will be back soon.

    Just wow. This place is the definition of a hidden gem. From the overall vibe of the place, to the…read morefood and the service, we were blown away. I can definitely understand why people will tailgate just to get in for dinner. We started off with the meatballs, the pork loin, and the pierogies. The pork loin is a must get, and the other others were delicious as well. For my entrée, I got the pork loin as well because it was so good as an appetizer, and before that I started with the tomato soup, which was also excellent. Addison was our waiter and was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a party of over 10 people and he handled it flawlessly. If you're in the mood for something out of the city in a little bit of a change of pace, I would highly recommend trying here.
