We found your town thru a detour off the interstate due toma accident....we went to the train museum n were instantly invited to see the grounds even tho they didn't open for a few hours yet! They then gave a few suggestions for eating places in town and your establishment was given a high rating!!! So after a day at the truck show we stopped back in to check it out! O my my! It was an amazing place with great service and food was scrumptious! We even got dessert! As we were headed to our vehicle we heard the train ..are you kidding!!! Wow what a treat!!! We got to have a train run right past where we were parked right down the middle of town!!! These are what make great memories!

Amazing meal, incredible service, great and fun atmosphere. Did I mention the food was out of this world? They had a very unique menu, I got Fruit of the Loin. It was tender pork 🐖 loin on mashed potatoes 🍠 with pecan pieces, and beans with almond slivers. The loin was covered in baked apples 🍎, pecan crumbles, and the most incredible amaretto sauce. For desert, not that that was needed there was a cherry bread pudding 🍮 in an amaretto sauce as well. Dissent, now I must hit the gym.
Wow, all I can say is this was great. Way better than anything I have ever ordered at a national chain restaurant. I do mean ever.
My loving wife ordered the braised beef 🐄, yet again, amazing.
Check out the menu, this place is quite unique. We highly recommend it. 😊

This restaurant is a must-visit when in La Grange. The menu is quirky, especially the kid's menu. You have to try the fried banana un-split (pictured) and the bacon pie. Yum! Monica took great care of us.

One Nineteen West , Thank for serving and hosting us in your restaurant. We stopped in there while traveling from Toronto towards Memphis Tennessee. I stopped in this town after seeing some YouTube videos about LaGrange.
It was a great dining experience. The young man that served us was absolutely incredible. He was kind friendly and knew the menu well. He didn't let me leave without trying their famous bacon crumble pie. (Who wouldn't want bacon for dessert) 🤣
The food was so good there I wanted to try everything off the menu.
I might even take another trip down from🇨🇦 to dine here again . It was one of my best memories from our road trip . Even the Mayor came by to greet our family and officially welcomed us to LaGrange .

You will not be let down coming here!!!
My husband and I were traveling and we like to find small mom and pop places to stop. I Googled the area and found them. Their menu intrigued me because it had some very unique ways standard dishes were changed... and boy is it for the good!
It's a quaint restaurant and it seemed the locals liked to frequent there. The place was packed out when we got there.
My husband order the juicy fruit and I got the braised beef. I would highly recommend both, but my husband meal was phenomenal. If you want a twist on bonless grilled pork chops that is like no other smothered in an amaretto reduction, order this! My braised beef was more like glorified pot roast, but it tasted AMAZING. We both were commenting how good our meal was the whole time we ate.
Once we finished our meal, because it was so good we decided to order dessert. He got the bread pudding and I got the cream brulee. Both were phenomenal and full of their own unique flavors. I don't normally get dessert because I don't like the sweetness. These both were nit overly sweet, but so tantalizing to your taste buds.
If we travel through this area again, we are definitely making a stop here for a meal. Don't pass this place up!! You won't be disappointed!!

Tyler was awesome.. Filet Mignon & Rueben wontons were excellent. The restaurant is small, but quaint and was very clean. Tyler served us and was friendly and attentive. Things you should know: they serve beer & wine only and portions are huge so consider sharing.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while waiting to make a video of the train on main. As an ex fine dining restaurant owner in NYC I have very high standards when dining out. But this place hit the mark on everything. First off restaurant was at 80% capacity at least and we still received very attentive and personal service from our waiter Carter. Food was served promptly hot and fresh. My steak was cooked rare to perfection, the beans and bacon mashed were perfect. Both deserts the deep fried banana and the creme brûlée was creative and full of flavor. All of this was less than half what you would have paid in a fancy restaurant in a major metropolitan. I would say this place is 100% worth visiting if your in La grange or from anywhere near its worth the drive.
