Under the Arch

Excellent pork tenderloin and friendly service. Best option by far for anyone staying at Turkey Run Inn.

I don’t usually feel compelled to review places but Under the Arch was well worth a visit! If you are driving through the area or staying at Turkey Run you should definitely check it out. Service was awesome and the food was great!

This is a family oriented business. Salad bar is very good. Their food is also very good. Staff friendly and cheerful. If you are camping nearby or just in the area I highly recommend you stop in.

Charming!
This place is highly recommended on Unilocal,and I see why! Small-​town pride abounds.
We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. Upon sitting down, our drinks were brought promptly and our orders were taken promptly as well.
I ordered the Arch burger. It came with onion rings, pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce. I got my sauces on the side. One sauce was a barbecue sauce which was good, but the star was a ranch-​like sauce that both hubby and I couldn’t stop dipping our sandwiches and fries in. So good! The cook on my burger was good, but it wasn’t especially juicy. I still enjoyed it.
Our server was stretched a little thin. She was the only one they had waiting tables, and it got to be a little busy by the time we left. Our drinks could have been refilled in a slightly more timely manner because of this.
The café is decorated nicely with different themes on different sections of the walls. You can tell they’re big IU fans here.
Because of the time we ate there, we were too early to try the buffet that everyone raved about. That was a bummer. But I know we’ll come back here if in the area again.

Came by during the Covered Bridge festival and found this restaurant packed! Decided to come back during the week. Had the catfish sandwich, husband had the tenderloin, also included the salad bar. We were not disappointed. Service was great & staff friendly. Loved the ol’ home, down to earth feel of the restaurant. We’ll be back!!!

My wife and I shared a patty melt and their hand battered onion rings which were, without doubt, the BEST we have ever eaten. Bar none, hands-​down fabulous rings. This place is not gourmet dining. Just good honest home cookin’. The staff was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is warm and clean and the price is right. We’d go back just for the ORs.

Only negative was speed of service. Had a «$ 10 burger» (aren’t they all anymore at most restaurants?) for $ 6.95 which included crinkle cut fries. ¹⁄₃ pound, cooked perfectly but wasn’t exceptional, I didn’t OMG like I’ve done with burgers eaten at some restaurants.
Everybody knows everybody there (except me!). Clean, nice large napkins. Didn’t use the restroom so no comment there.
Came from Turkey Run SP on a cold, gray January day, the police were blocking Marshall street for some reason, the cop had to be laughing as I turned off on a county road to detour in my 2 wheel drive. Monster potholes all over dirt/​mud roads. I was even chased by a dog (Cujo?) at one point. Was really afraid of getting stuck/​slide off. 10 mph was top speed.
On my return to Turkey Run SP the road block was gone — but a very old hearse came by from the other direction, the guy driving it had a weird hat on and was smiling. hmmm.

Headed over here after a long day at turkey run. The restaurant was pretty empty (it was about 3:30pm). Our waitress was nice and seemed very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place if you were just hiking!

Great place!!! Wife and I had lunch here after biking turkey run state park. Good home made food at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for.

Directions were bad to this place, only found a couple horse and buggies and a junk yard dog in the middle of the street, was interested in the place but due to bad gps from Unilocal never made it

Fine family dining! Be sure to try the liver & onions… if that appeals to you. So is the Tortilla Soup is to die for.

Two of us came to Under the Arch, due to the reviews, and were not disappointed. It was a 7 minute drive from Turkey Run State Park. As a rule, I dislike buffets, but on a Saturday Night, theirs looked very fresh and had some nice touches. This is three steps above your Richard’s or Big Boy salad bar, They also had delicious broasted chicken and broasted fries, homemade beef and noodles, and delicious cobblers. The staff was very attentive. I was so good, we went back Sunday and were again very pleased.

Came on a Sunday afternoon after camping at Turkey Run and found they were doing a buffet. All of the food was really, really good, and the service was good too.
The only downside was that the corner they’re on is somewhat confusing and it’s not entirely obvious where to park if it’s busy. We ended up parking in a lot across the street.

Amazing good food, delightful atmosphere, a little bit long to wait for the food to be cooked, but overall excellent!

I like it. When it comes to small town homey diners, you can’t beat Under the Arch. We went there on a local exploration and I have to take my hat off to my husband (and fellow Unilocaler) for finding such cute, relatively undiscovered places like this. The town of Marshall has an arch (of course) that shows you that you’ve arrived in said town. The diner is right there on the town square and has a nice cozy Indiana feel, in the best possible way. One wall of the main dining room is full of shelves of knicknacks and gadgets, the best of which was a little toy Coke vending machine that actually played the sound of a soda rolling out of the machine when you pushed the appropriate button. Really cool.
We ate in the second dining room (it was a very busy day for the restaurant) and it was cozy and nice in our booth. We happened to be there on a community card playing day, and honestly I felt like I was in the set of a movie about small town America, with retired folks at the next table playing cards and betting chips and chatting away over coffee and a slice of pie.
I ordered a burger and one of my companions had the fried chicken. The food was delicious and in keeping with the feel of the place. Service was friendly and prompt. All in all, this was a very nice meal. For a great Indiana diner experience, you must check out Under the Arch.

Wonderful little hometown restaurant! Good service, great food. For a small place they have a really good salad bar and good lunch specials. The Friday night Catfish all-​you-​can-​eat buffet is OUTSTANDING. We have eaten here several times for lunch and dinner this past summer and it is great. Just be sure you go early, they close at 8PM during the week and 9PM on weekends.

Amazing small town /​country décor! Some of the best homestyle food I have experienced in a long time!
