Best place around for great food and a night out. Every time we stop in, the people are amazing, the food is ALWAYS perfect. I love the chicken bacon ranch wrap. My friends like the fish. Thanks for the extra chips, and I can’t wait to go back again.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere. The view of the lake is superb and the inside is clean and warm, if a bit loud when the place is full. Full bar with several craft beers on tap.

Stevey our waitress was outstanding...we celebrated my Husband's birthday with family and friends had over 40 in attendance...she waited on all of us and did an awesome job. We had the Steak dinner... it was good...if you need a place to gather with friends or family this is a good place...call ahead to make sure the family area (back room) is available.

1st time we have been here and it was a great experience! Good service good food and awesome view of the lake from inside or out. We got the orange chicken with rice and green beans and a fish dinner.

This is a wonderful place to have a drink and meal. The food was great and the view was fabulous. This place does not disappoint as it is right on the water with large windows to view the lake. There are not a lot of places in NE Indiana that are right on the water. The Shady Nook Inn is the rare exception and worth the visit. There is a good beer selection and the food was great too.
