    Waitresses here are rude. They have visible attitude. Including eye rolling, and generally being short with you. I visited on 7/27/23. Food is just so, so honestly. The atmosphere and family style dining I believe lure people in. I was not very impressed with the food personally. We were with a large party, and I tried many food items, including beef with gravy. Thin sliced, still somewhat tough. Baked chicken breast, dry. Livers, fried, oil tasted old. Sides: mashed potatoes, felt like they are some sort of instant (maybe they aren't but they had no wow factor) slaw, this was actually the best thing I had. Nice vinegar tart. Corn, greenbeans were both just ok. The bar area is vintage and pretty cool. I could take it or leave it. Nothing impressive. Not sure what the waitress problem is but they have some attitude.

    Neat place. The food was pretty good. The menu had Ala Carte or family style choices. Catfish filets were crispy, and the pieces were large. The chicken liver was good, and one serving is more than enough for a family of 4. Sides come family-sized in large bowls. The atmosphere is outstanding, and we really enjoyed sitting in the original log cabin, which Abe Lincoln ate. A nice place to visit at least once in a lifetime.

    It was a long day on the road, 96° and high humidity, so it was a pleasure to find this historic Inn and then discover the food was simple comfort family style and delicious. The menu was small, but there were plenty of Midwest choices. Took dessert to go, German Chocolate cake and Caramel Apple Nut pie. Service was so fast, like less than 4 minutes from ordering, hot, delicious and our waitress was sweet and efficient, pleasant and deserved a great trip. Huge parking lot for 200+ cars was 60% full upon arrival, we got there about 7:15, and just about empty when we left. I highly recommend Log Inn for Midwest comfort food.

    I visited on 09/17/23. We were invited to a party and it was my 2nd time ever being here. We booked a party for upstairs, it was roughly 30 to 40 people. Our server was very attentive and took care of us. When we first arrived it was very busy! The food is awesome! I like how they serve family style, cause, well, family is always a great reason to get together. The food was hot and delicious! I will be back, I don't know why other reviews I had read weren't as good, but my experience was fantastic!

    We had our Company Christmas party here last Thursday. Kathy and Darryl were so helpful in planning the party and went out of their way to make sure that everything went perfectly. The food was absolutely great! We had chicken, roast beef,and ham. Everyone had a wonderful time and I can definitely say it was the best Christmas party we've had in 43 years! Shout out to Sara, our waitress,and all the staff that pitched in to help. It was an awesome experience! Definitely going here next year!

    Came with a few of my brethren from church that came to help at the church camp in Dale, Indiana. We all were impressed and enjoyed ourselves. For me, it was joyful to eat at one of Indiana oldest restaurants. I was impressed with the quantity and amount you get. When back in the area , we will be stopping by again.

    My wife had introduced me to this place back when we were dating, and we had the pleasure of enjoying a meal here one more time with family and friends prior to getting married. This place has a ton of history, with each room's decor being different than the previous. The restaurant is split into many dining rooms, each accommodating quite a bit of seating. This place serves family style meals, American style. The fried chicken is a must when choosing your protein (moist crispy and massive pieces!), and there's a medley of sides that you can choose from! We typically choose corn, mash and green beans, but the last time we went we had German potatoes (cooked in a cast iron skillet) and coleslaw also. Proteins include fried chicken, roast beef, ham, catfish etc. The coleslaw wasn't the best. It's a vinegar based dressing and holds a straw raw cabbage taste. The corn and green beans are definitely canned; however, these do not detract from the overall meal as the proteins are amazing! Service is always stellar for a restaurant of the size. Dessert is to die for. Definitely worth checking out. It's dirt cheap per person at ~$14!

    This historic restaurant is a great place to have dinner, especially if you have a large group or a special occasion. They only accept cash or check no cards but there is an ATM on the premises. Their claim to fame is that Abe Lincoln ate there and it is likely. Dinner can be served family style and I assure you that you will take food home. The do take reservations but only for large groups so plan ahead. They are quite busy.

    Amazing food in an elegant yet old-timey atmosphere. If it was good enough for Abraham Lincoln, it's definitely good enough for me, and that was certainly the case.

    This place came recommended, but I would not recommend it to others, or go back. This place certainly has a unique style, and I enjoyed most aspects of my visit. We liked *all* of the sides, and I thought the slaw in particular was unique. However, THE main draw, the chicken, was disappointing. It hadn't been seasoned at all! It's pretty sad when you don't want a second piece of hot, juicy fried chicken because the (dark) meat itself was so bland. My niece got the gizzards, but I found them tough and flavorless. Gizzards are my favorite part of making a whole chicken at home, so again, this was disappointing. They should do *something* to give the chicken some flavor.
