Small local diner serving simple, home spun meals at a reasonable price. We enjoyed our brkfst sandwiches w hash brown potatoes. The walls covered w Elvis and 50s car photos, along with postcards from throughout the US makes for interesting decor, not to mention the miniature train running overhead.

A small restaurant gem in the heart of Ligonier. Tucked away in the diamond of the town, you'll see pictures of the past posted on the walls and a train that runs along a track hung from the ceiling. The food has great taste and at a very good price.

Tucked away around the corner you will find this little hidden gem. It's a small place, but they have lots of pictures all over the walls. The pictures help serve as conversation pieces. The food was great, very homley and comfortable place. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are very reasonable, feed 5 of us for less then $50. If your in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Very true assuming place right off of the main square in Ligonier. Delicious diner food cooked by a couple of ladies who know how to make it. Fun little train that runs around the inside.
