“OVER ALL GREAT EXPERIENCE !!! FOOD WAS VERY GOOD !!! WE BE RETURNING“

“Good food! Our waitress was amazing! Definitely on the pricier side so Definitely was a treat out kind of night. 👌🏻“

“Came from Marion and it was so worth it! We ordered carry out but would have loved to stay and dine in. we were greeted as we came in the door and they made us feel right at home. We ordered multiple dishes to try. The portion sizes are large and everything was DELICIOUS. our family especially liked the beef stew with fufu and the plantain meat pie. we will definitely be back!“

“The food is always tasty and Megan is the best server there is!“

“Sadie & Lauren behind the bar were awesome. My first time there & I will definitely be back. Thanks ladies!“

“A true gem of a breakfast place:

- Their menu has absurdly fun variety.
- They are one of the few breakfast places I've dined at that has fine coffee instead of cheap coffee left on the burner for hours.
- Spacious, mini-mall parking lot and big tables to stretch out at.

As someone that has dined at all known breakfast places in Muncie: this stands leagues above the rest.“

“We ate here for the first time today and I have to say that the food is absolutely delicious! The place is really calm and didn't to earth. They have several options on the menu and that's something I really like verses not having many options. The staff was very kind and I'll absolutely return. This restaurant is very well worth it!“

“We went here after my daughter's wedding. We are from California and had never been to a Culvers. They have the best rootbeer and the fish sandwiches were good also. I wish I could run a pipe to CA to get their rootbeer!!!! Or maybe they could open a restaurant here!“

“I moved away from Indiana about 2 years ago and I STILL think about this restaurant. Any time I want an orange juice, I’m upset it’s not from here. While it can be pricey, it is 100% for a good reason. It is an amazing place.“

“No stars on service. We brought the band into town for the first time. We also brought 30+ people with us. Most all have never been to Cheers Tavern. There's always one employee, with tight curly hair that ruins it all. I was assuming that there was table service? I apologize if I'm wrong. However, tight curly haired woman wouldn't serve at the bar either. And when she was told she gave shitty service, she decided to cut one of our parties' friends off. Idk, but if I had that many new people, I wouldn't make the establishment look like a two-bit, low-life saloon style hang out with favorites they'll serve all night long instead of serving the crowd. I'd fire her. No wonder the place is for sale.“

“Great place had a great time ! Staff was amazing 🤩“

“Good beer. Nice people. Could be faster in the kitchen but they get busy.“

“Walked in and was greeted by all the staff right away, the owner brought me over to the counter and asked if I had ever been before and when I said no she showed me the whole menu and helped me decide. Franks were HUGE and the portions were large. For $20 I left completely stuffed with leftovers, solid recommend from me 😄

Very welcoming and social atmosphere, loved it!“

“I absolutely love Roots! I have never had a bad meal from there. The atmosphere is always great and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend them to everyone I can.“

“great staff, great service“

“I wish they'd get the blueberry cheesecake ice cream back. but the lemon is really good too. their prices are fair and the workers are really nice.“

“Got their tacos and beans and rice. They were amazing. The homemade salsa is awesome. Definitely will be back to try their other food.

I really appreciated that they let me call in my order a few hours early and they had it made for me right on time for me to pick up for my lunch break from work. Definitely appreciated that.“

“We had a date night tonight and the food was amazing (Thursday special of shrimp scampi and lobster). We also shared the Margarita Flight and loved it (we had the hot spices left off of the passion fruit one). The Brussels sprouts are worth the upgrade for a side. Service was also excellent. That's why we come back!“

“Nice and cozy atmosphere! Delicious food! Thanks, Thai Kitchen!“

“I became a patron for the food and the general atmosphere. Now it’s my go-to to get out of the house. This little gem is Muncie’s best-kept secret. Known for their statue of Paul Bunyan, this bar serves all the usual bears and has a fairly deep liquor shelf. Their food is out of this world. I personally recommend the ribeye sandwich and fried mushrooms.“

“Was very impressed with food, service and friendliness.“

“Bartender Angel was being rude and talking about us behind our backs. Expecting tips when I'm here to have fun. Getting rude at other customers for eating food a friend of mine brought for EVERYONE. Fire this woman. I don't appreciate the rudeness or the talking behind our backs.“

“Since Rubys 50th Anniversary we visit the Muncie location almost weekly. Great service (Ivy), great ribs (bourbon sauce), a salad bar, and great promotions on the App. Thanks for being in our community.“

“This place is a hidden gem of art and music. We just played here as a stop on our tour and the outdoor stage is beautiful. Whitney has put a lot of effort into building something special for musicians and the sound was excellent! Would definitely play here again and recommend checking it out! Thanks for having us!🍀🤘🖤“

“This was a good experience. Good food, not a long wait at 6:00 about 15 minutes. We sat in the bar area at a table quick to ask us for our drink order but then she had to take care of the bar drinks so it took a few before we got our order in. Once we did normal wait on food to be made when it came out tasted good“

“Stopped here for breakfast with my wife. The workers were a bit loud chatting back and forth but not obnoxious. My only complaint is that they were out of cinnamon raisin biscuits and that was what my wife wanted. The pancakes and fries bologna biscuit was good. But I can't get enough of the hash rounds. They are yummy.“

“Maecy is by far the best bartender at this place. Hands down the best bartender in the world. Every drink is made perfectly, the service is unmatched, and they somehow make every person at the bar feel like a regular. They’re fast, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and always know exactly what to recommend. Beyond the amazing cocktails, they create an atmosphere that’s welcoming, fun, and unforgettable. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. This is the kind of bartender that keeps people coming back again and again. Truly the best in the business. Shout out Maecy!“

“If you’re looking for a bartender who makes you feel right at home, go and see Carry for your lunchtime treat! It’s like she knows what you want before you even do! As long as she’s there, I’ll always be a repeat customer! 5/5 ⭐️“

“I usually visit Muncie in the summer, so when I come here, it’s usually empty at the cup. This time I had an iced latte and a breakfast sandwich, both of which were excellent. This is always one of my must visit stops when I return to my hometown.“

“Normally I’d give Roadhouse a 5 but not this time. Our food was brought out by a guy that had hair hanging below his eyes. I told the waitress that it was unsanitary she agreed and said several people had complained about him. Why is he still working“

“I have always loved steak and shake...the burgers are always good and my favorite restaurant chili resides here. They added cane sugar coke and cane sugar dr pepper which is a big bonus in my opinion. The milkshakes are of course delicious as well and a nice bonus after the meal. If you like old school steakburgers and the shoestring fries and great chili and milkshakes then you must stop here and get them! Great friendly and hard working staff as well so give them a tip!“

“Our family always gets together for breakfast on Thanksgiving. Usually we go to another local restaurant that has a little back room that we reserve for the morning. This morning we went to that restaurant and it was completely closed with no cancellation of our reservation or anything. So last-minute scramble for somewhere for 20 people to go for breakfast. Bob Evans was more than accommodating the food, and the service was wonderful. I should have gotten the name of our waitress as she did a great job! Overall wonderful experience, especially with the last-minute nature of the situation!“
