Have been there twice, really good both times. Salad bar looks small but has a big selection, including chicken and tuna salads, enough to make a meal itself. Fried catfish was lightly breaded and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I don't know who supplies their ice cream but it is 'way delicious! And, of course, there is that river view....

Breakfast with a view! Big windows overlooking the Ohio River allow you to feel like you're almost on one of the big barges that move along the river. The breakfast offerings are basic but the portions were sufficient to feel me up. The home fries appear to have been baked rather than fried as they were not greasy at all. On the downside, at least for me, the grits are served with butter flavor already mixed in. I prefer my grits plain with a pat of real butter, thank you.

Stopped in after an ALR motorcycle run. Had the roast beef special. Food was brought out quickly and hot. Very tasty! Great view of the river from inside the restaurant.

A wonderous dining experience. We arrived at General Butler Lodge to find the restaurant closed and the bar with limited options. Welch's looked like the best in town. We were not disappointed. Great view of the river. A fun and more than a bit salty wait staff. Fried pickles were amazing. The bacon on the BLT was the best I've had. Fried Catfish was delicious. Onion rings were great. The fries were ok. All in all a great end to a long travel day.

Well it was just so nice! A hometown restaurant with really good food and the dinner portions were much larger than we were used to. I mean, when you get a catfish strips dinner with sides of house salad and potato salad, you expect a small bowl of three item salad and a 1/2 cup of potato salad. My heavens! the potato salad was filling a big soup bowl, and my salad was layers in a big pasta bowl. The catfish was crunchy, sweet, not greasy, and filled a 10-inch plate. Husband had a cheese burger with onion rings piled up. Said it would have been best if they used Duke's instead of miracle whip for the mayo. Oh, we thought we needed a starter, so we ordered fried mushrooms, delicious, but oh so many. Had to bring most of everything home for later. Definitely will be back!

I recently ate at Welch's during the past few days while staying at Gen. Butler State Park. We order club sandwiches for carryout & they were delicious! We decided to go to dinner there the next night for dine in. The owner is incredibly nice & they have been in business longer than I have been alive. They have a mice menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I ordered the shrimp dinner which came with a salad bar, one side & dinner roll for $13.99. It was definitely good food for a good value. The wait staff was incredibly friendly & told me how good their desserts were. I was full unfortunately. I would definitely go back. Good food, great value & small town charm.

Seriously... thank you. Quite simply... LOVED the place! Food is delicious, prices are more than fair, the view is nice, and the staff is awesome! Not only are they rather quick and helpful, but they'll put a smile on your face. I have been there 4 times now, I live 45 minutes away, and I WILL be back often. They should get 6 stars! (Omletes, French toast, biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Club sandwich was an awesome lunch. Can't wait to try more.)

The view is very pretty. We spent over $30 for a cup of god awful chili with spaghetti in it, a cup of vegetable soup that tasted like a can, a hamburger that was grilled on one side and steamed on the other and kid-sized, a country ham sandwich with one slice of ham, underdone and cold crinkle fries and nondescript coleslaw. Without a doubt the worst lunch I’ve ever had.

Great food, friendly service, but a bit out of date with the building. I understand it's an older building but it's looked the same for 20 years. The backroom view is great getting to see the boats and barges on the river. The kiddos enjoy that!

Cute little diner spot, very slow when my wife, daughter and I stopped in - maybe 3 or 4 other tables. The waitress took our order and disappeared until the food was ready 45 minutes later. I had to walk around and find a coffee pot to refill our cups after we realized she wasn't coming back. Blueberry pancakes were dry and french toast was burnt on one side. Terrible service, subpar food.
