Bobber's Cafe at Shadyside Bait & Tackle

Found the restaurant on the Indiana State Parks app. We stopped in after earning a state park pin at Mounds. The view is amazing and the food is even better! We recommend the Piggie Plate. It’s a hearty tenderloin on fries smothered in their award winning gravy. Come hungry the portions are man-sized.

Such a great place to get breakfast. Calm warm food, great garden and a beautiful view of the water! Can get lost for an hour here :)

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian biscuits and gravy that won a competition down south. Iykyk.

The tenderloin sandwich was amazing! The place needs major updating. Friendly staff. Outside has outdoor seating with lake view. Next to it is a trail that leads to the park.

I spent this week looking for the best tenderloin in east central Indiana. We went to Bobber’s in Shadyside state park. A little dive that also has bait and tackle. The staff was attentive and detail oriented. The tenderloin did not disappoint. It was the best I had ever had. The fries were hot and crispy. Along with the tenderloin I had a side of sausage gravy. Wow!!!! Go there you will not be sorry.
