The Country Cafe

February 28, 2022 By Ben Cotton

Greater Lafayette is blessed with an abundance of local places to get a good diner breakfast. But my go-to spots are closed on Mondays, so when I decided I'd rather take my kids out for breakfast on Presidents' Day, I had to look for somewhere new. The Country Cafe fit the bill. We got there around 8:30 AM on a Monday, so it wasn't very crowded. We picked a booth and were … [Read more...]

The Downtowner Restaurant

June 5, 2019 By Ben Cotton

Market Square is hardly downtown. But that's where The Downtowner Restaurant has you fooled. When it opened in 1951, it resided on the 500 block of Main Street. It moved to Market Square in 1996, so in 2041 you can complain about the name. But geography aside, it's another fine entry in Greater Lafayette's collection of breakfast and lunch diners. My family loves it in part … [Read more...]

Joe’s Pancake House

May 8, 2019 By Ben Cotton

I've driven by Joe's Pancake House countless times without really taking much notice of it. I mean, with a name that nondescript, it doesn't really jump out at you.

But it was fairly busy on … [Read more...]

Town & Gown Bistro

May 31, 2015 By Lafayette Eats

With all the restaurants going out of business in town, I'm excited to see some new life coming to some familiar locations. At some point last spring, I was out running and ran by the building on North River Road that was previously Spurlocks and then, once upon a time, a place I loved called Windows on the Levee. I noticed something about the defunct building... it had flowers … [Read more...]

Shellie’s Café

June 19, 2014 By Ben Cotton

My wife and I had a rare opportunity to sneak in a date the other morning, so we opted to go out to breakfast. Although we have lived in the area for over seven years, we had never tried Shellie's Cafe. It was a mistake to have waited so long. The building looks remarkably like an old Wendy's on the outside, but inside the decor is far more kitschy. It's an American diner in … [Read more...]
