New American Restaurants in Muncie, IN

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

“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.“

“I booked Be Here Now for my college TV show's 25 year reunion. We held the party in the backyard, and it was the perfect space - looked cool, lots of room for people and a photo booth, big water jug set up without us asking, and we were able to play our own music. Our group (around 60 people) ranged from current Ball State students to people who graduated in '02 and everyone had a great time. There were a couple of bartenders, someone working the door, and an audio guy included in the price, plus we got a great deal on pizzas to bring in from Greek's by mentioning our event at BHN. Yes the bathrooms are dive-y, but it's a small tradeoff if you want to have a fun, casual event in a place that doesn't feel like a sterile conference room. Most of us ended up staying past our rental time to afterparty in the bar. It's a real unicorn of a venue - here's hoping this place and The Chug never turn into condos!“

“Tucked in the heart of The Village, this has been a lovely coffee shop for decades, even under previous names and ownership. You can get any sort of coffee, latte, cappuccino or espresso your heart desires here and it will be great. The food is delicious, especially the croissant sandwiches like the Moon Rise I ordered today.

The proprietor, Martin, is a welcoming fellow with one of the most magnificently manicured mustaches in Muncie. The employees are friendly and helpful. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available.“
