12 Best American Restaurants in Shelbyville

“First visit to The Lucky 7 Café. I was so pleased with the owner's generosity in donating warm meals to our city's homeless population that I wanted to come support this local restaurant. Food was delicious. Tater tots were surprisingly amazing! Perfect small town spot to get a home cooked meal without breaking the bank. I can't wait to come back!“

“the biscuits and gravy were excellent.“

“Country Diner is a real gem. Great home cooked food from 6am to 1:30pm. The hand breaded tenderloin sandwich was large and meaty. Daily specials like beef manhattan, beans ham cornbread with fried potatoes, chicken and noodles, and great breakfast choices. Plenty of parking with room for semi's and right off the highway. Typically very busy, we arrived at 12:45 and had excellent service.“

“Saw that this place was on the list as one of the ten best chicken places in Indiana. We decided to road trip here just to find out. It did not disappoint. The chicken is cooked fresh after you order so dont be in a big hurry. Everything came out piping hot and was delicious. The service here was outstanding. This restaurant is very clean and well kept. It is very easy to find using Google Maps. There is plenty of free parking around the building.“

“I am frequently at this cafe especially on Sundays. They have a buffet that well small offers plenty of choices to have a delicious meal. Excellent fried chicken! The atmosphere is very friendly and accommodating. The place is clean. It is small so if it is crowded it's sometimes difficult to get a seat but if you're there on a non-rush time it is not a problem at all.“

“Awesome food and the soup is delicious. Anything I have ordered has always been great. The servers are so cheerful and helpful. And that makes you want to come back and try something else. It's like home and the floors are clean and the bathrooms are spotless.They are the BEST keep up the awesome job!Thank you for being in the neighborhood.“

“3 of us arrived at 6 a.m. 12/24/23. One table left , "Ski" as they called him, greeted us at the table and turned us over to the best possible waitress anyone could have! Susan had been with the company 39 years and just lost a husband with similar time at this location. What a genuinely nice lady who was responsive to our needs, far exceeding our expectations. The entire staff stayed busy and the place operated like a well oiled machine, no pun intended. Everything was on point and exactly how it should be. When we walked out the door to leave , yet another employee giving us fare wells and cleaning the lot at the same time. Thank you Ski, Susan and the others , corporate should use you guys as an example of how things should be done. Our society needs this level of customer service everywhere. Thanks again.“

“Every time I order it gets here faster than it says and it's always hot and fresh. Very happy with the service and it's cheaper to have delivered than the big box store chains. I appreciate this part very much! Second time this week I ordered!“

“This was a great local bar and grill. We found our server to be full of energy and very friendly, I think her name was Chrissy?I was really surprised to see that smoking is allowed indoors; I haven't experienced this in over 25 years (where I'm from)Beer was great, food was great and came out quickly, prices were very fair!“

“Server Chris E. working on the evening of 4/4/24 deserves a promotion. This gentleman fully embodies what companies like Cracker Barrel can only hope their servers are presenting nationwide, but usually aren’t. He was kind, attentive, had a positive attitude, and very knowledgeable. You could tell he truly took pride in his work. Workers like this unfortunately often go unnoticed. I hope management sees this and acts accordingly.“
