The owner is my former neighbor, and both she and the waitress are incredibly friendly, quick, and eager to assist with any questions or feedback you may have about your meal. The food served here is quite good as well. Having grown up in Ossian, I've always enjoyed coming here for a meal with my father and savoring the cozy atmosphere of this diner. While the hours are somewhat limited, it’s definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend it to anyone living in the area or passing through on Indiana Hwy 1.
