"Not anything fancy, but a nice kind of old fashion Mom and Pop type of family restaurant. Has its own bar separate from dining area. Good food. Friendly service. When I'm back in the Terra Haute area, I definitely will go back."

"This place is legendary. I can remember my grandma driving all the way across town for the fish (pronounced feesh) sandwich. Glad to see that some things never change. Hadn't been back home for nearly 10 years. The tenderloin and the fish sandwich were still as amazing as ever. Don't pass up on the Bush (pronounced Boosh)!"

"First, the slaw. Not typically a huge slaw fan but this is legit! 2nd I fly in annually to eat here, er, umm *clears throat* I mean I fly in to go to my family reunion... But eating here at some point over the weekend is a priority. 3rd, the fish & the fresh Tartar Sauce... Don't pass that up either! Excellent food. Ive been to Germany to compare. The Bush makes it better!"
