    The Log Inn – Haubstadt, Indiana

    Bob here to share the BOBortunity of The Log Inn located in Haubstadt, Indiana!

    A big and ducky thanks to Bill from Indiana for bringing this nostalgic eatery to our attention as his entry to win week 26 of the Get Your BOB On Contest!

    This charming restaurant has a rootsy tale that stretches back to 1825.

    I can only imagine how it may have looked when it was originally built as a stagecoach stop and trading post.

    Having eventually transformed into a local dining spot, it is now recognized as the oldest restaurant in Indiana.

     Can you believe that none other than Abraham Lincoln himself dined here?

    Lincoln reportedly stopped by during his travels, adding an extra sprinkle of historical charm to this lovely establishment.

    When it comes to dinner, family-style home cooking is the name of the game!

    The Log Inn boasts a full menu but…..

    Bill and his family always go for the family meal.

    Sharing is Caring!

    Picture a cozy atmosphere where diners his family members each choose their favourite proteins.

    Succulent fried chicken, tender roast beef, or delectable ham. 

    Top it off with a heap of sides that evoke the warmth of Grandma’s kitchen!

    Think creamy mashed potatoes, buttery corn, and fresh green beans.

    And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance!

    If you’ve got any room left after all that deliciousness, you absolutely must indulge in their homestyle desserts.

    From rich German chocolate cake to classic apple pie.

    My beak is watering.

    The Log Inn isn’t just a place to eat; it’s where friends and families gather around the table to share laughter and create memories.

    The rustic decor, accentuated with wooden beams and nostalgic memorabilia, really sets the stage for a down-home dining experience.

    When waddling through Indiana, make sure to flap your wings and head on over to The Log Inn!

    You will enjoy great food, friendly service and a heaping side of history,

    A huge thanks again to Bill for this fantastic BOBortunity!

  • Bynum’s Steakhouse – Indianapolis, Indiana

    Bynum’s Steakhouse – Indianapolis, Indiana

    I recently found myself on a grand adventure in the bustling city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Oh, what a delightful journey it was! My humans, always on the prowl for a fantastic meal, wanted a place that celebrated their love for beef.

    After some quacking around, Bynum’s Steakhouse caught our eye. They had their heart set on something great, and oh, did they make the right choice at Bynum’s Steakhouse!

    Bynum’s Steakhouse isn’t just any eatery; it’s been a cornerstone of the Indianapolis food scene for over 20 years! The second-generation owner, Ritchie Curry, believes strongly in making every guest feel valued. This place is all about serving up joy along with a great meal, and boy, did that resonate with us as we hopped our way inside! Dining at Bynum’s Steakhouse was an experience to remember.

    As we arrived, massive Hereford and Angus bull statues—the official welcome wagon—stood proudly at the entrance.

    It was like stepping into a cowboy movie, with a rustic yet elegant ambiance that made my rubber heart sing. I might not eat, but I sure can appreciate a good vibe at Bynum’s Steakhouse!

    The service? Let me tell you, it was like sunshine on a warm day!

    Our server was bursting with enthusiasm and made it his mission to ensure my humans understood every item on the menu. He refilled their drinks faster than I can float down a stream, and even rallied the other diners into a joyous celebration—talk about a duck-filled good time!

    The menu was a feast for the senses!

    Some ventured “from The Deep,” choosing delightful morsels of Swordfish and Lobster, while others gravitated towards the beefy “House Specialties” featuring Angus beef aged for a whopping 21 days.

    And then there was the star of the show—the legendary 32-ounce bone-in Prime Rib. Talk about a beefy challenge! Two brave souls decided to compete in an ultimate meat-off. Who would conquer this colossal portion at Bynum’s Steakhouse? My little rubber flipper was cheering them on!

    While waiting for our main courses, the humans enjoyed their onion soup and salad—oh boy, did I wish I could taste that! The laughter and camaraderie that filled the room made it feel like one big happy family. We even exchanged stories with a group celebrating a special occasion nearby. It was pure joy—a true gathering of souls over good food.

    Then, the moment we’d all been waiting for arrived: the main dishes!

    The sight of those prime rib dinners took our breath away; they looked positively glorious. One enthusiastic human tackled the entire portion, while the other waved the white flag of surrender, something I completely understood—32 ounces is no small feat!

    Our stellar server, like a culinary artist, packed up the leftovers with such flair, wrapping everything in foil as if it were a precious gift. The whole experience was a whirlwind of flavours, laughter, and sheer delight.

    If I were to rate Bynum’s Steakhouse—as a dedicated rubber duck who’s seen many great eateries—I’d give Bynum’s Steakhouse a jaw-dropping 7.5 out of 5!

    There wasn’t a single thing that could have made the experience better.

    Thank you, Bynum’s, for creating such a memorable part of my humans’ Indianapolis adventure!
