Stopped in Lebanon as a midway point during a roadtrip and so glad we grabbed lunch here. The lasagna, the sweet Italian salad, the Maurice burger and fries… all a 10/10. The service was friendly, warm and quick. The atmosphere, quaint and comfortable. I genuinely wish we lived closer because we’d frequent here often. Highly recommend!

We had a party of 8 and sat out on the outdoor patio. Good atmosphere, the service was great and everything was tasty! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of everyone's order but we ordered the gasthaus burger with onion rings and the honey chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. Plus I had a Tito's with cranberry which is pretty standard but for some reason theirs tasted much better. Great place!

The home town feel you are looking for. Filled with mouth watering burgers, generous sides and a twist to some of your favorite dishes. Also a place you get your moneys worth. They have some nice inside dinning that could easily take care of my family of 7, plenty of outside seating, along with a bar side that opens up to the patio. There is plenty of parking and its right down town Lebanon on the brick road. Great place for a nice meal.

Great place to eat with family! The food was delicious! We had toasted ravs and I had chef Maurice's dinner special. 8oz steak with summer veggies and fried mashed potatoes! The fried mashed potatoes had a nice and light panko bread coating! Delicious. Highly recommend eating here.
