It is known for the family style meals and is a great place for parties and other events. This will be great for my research because it is the oldest restaurant in Indiana, which allows me to get a better understanding of what foods were popular in the past. One thing that makes this location great for research is that it tries to keep its old time theme, with interior decorations and a more communal and familiar style restaurant. It has likely not had much of a menu change in order to retain the feeling of the past and history that it is filled with. This location truly gives us a look into the history of food in Indiana.
