We went to Nashville Indiana to view the turning of the leaves! Well, the leaves had not turned too much last weekend, it would be much better to go this weekend.

We enjoyed ourselves nonetheless! If you have never been to Nashville, it is a quaint little town in Southern Indiana, near Bloomington. It has rolling hills and tons of trees. It is beautiful. We make sure to go to Nashville a few times a year. We go on our anniversary and stay at a cabin that we rent through Hills O’ Brown Realty, and then we go in the Spring and again in the Fall.

We walked around a bit and then went to The Nashville House for dinner.

The Nashville house is located at the corner of Van Buren and Main St in Nashville, Indiana. It was built in 1859 during the Civil War as the first Hosltery in Brown County. The original building burned down in 1943 and was rebuilt with no guest rooms. It was built into a country store and restaurant.

The restaurant is not fancy but does have alot of history, if you like that kind of thing. The country store has a few interesting things in it as well as Apple Butter and other home made preserves.

The service in the restaurant can be better, when we walked in we waited about 5 minutes before we even saw a employee. By the time someone finally came out of the kitchen there were a few of us waiting. We were taken right away to our table with red checkered table clothes on it. There was apple butter sitting out on the table, which I did not find too appetizing as there were a few flies in the room as well! I am pretty sure they were enjoying the apple butter before we were!

This restaurant is known for it’s fried biscuits and aforementioned apple butter! As well as their unique “savory” cole slaw which I LOVE!  These items were delivered after a bit of a wait and lived up to their reputation. We had arrived during a shift change which could explain the service not being spot on.

Within about 20 minutes we had ordered our meals. 2 fried chicken meals and 2 roast beef. All of the food was good and much more then we could eat. The service could have been better throughout, especially considering there were only a couple of people in the entire restaurant!

This place is a tradition for us, we usually go alone as our friends can never justify paying so much for a regular meal, nothing special  The meals run around $17.00 each! 

And the bathrooms? They were OK…nothing special and old. Now check out my Indianapolis airport review for a great bathroom!  LOL
