My shoes kept sticking to the floor near the salad bar. This is the Mother’s Day meal. The fried chicken was so over cooked, I couldn’t eat it. Much of the salad bar was gone. The peach cobbler was great but that was the only highlight of the meal. I sat with nothing to drink most of my meal. Terrible service. I usually tip at least 20 % plus but the service was terrible so we only tipped around 11%. Filthy carpet.

I had a great experience at Raquel’s Restaurant & Catering. I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch quesadilla with homemade chips and finished it off with their lemonade cake. The ranch and the cake are both made in-house, and you can absolutely tell. The ranch was packed with flavor, and the lemonade cake was outstanding. I’m a huge lemon dessert fan, and this one easily sits at the top of the lemon desserts I’ve tried. I was greeted right away by one of the owners, who seated me and personally waited on me. He was very friendly and took the time to explain how they prepare their food fresh and in-house, which I always appreciate. The layout and environment felt like a mix between a funeral home and a library, and it was a bit cold inside — but the fresh flowers on the tables were a really nice touch and added some warmth to the space. Overall, the food and hospitality really stood out, and I’ll definitely be back.

The food is excellent with large portions. I got the soup and salad bar and everything was delicious and homemade. Grilled chicken on salad bar was the best. I enjoyed the broccoli cheddar soup too. My husband got the club and it was huge and delicious too. We had a large party and with one server it made for slow getting our food. He did his best.

if you are in or near Salem, IN looking for some authentic, homemade from scratch recipes then this is a must stop. Located in the square there is plenty of seating family and kid friendly. The ambiance is very welcoming and the owner and staff are very friendly. There is something here for everyone and the portion sizes are excellent. I had the grilled chicken salad and the roasted Brussel sprouts. Delicious! Highly recommended.

We stopped by for dinner on our travels through southern Indiana and so glad we did. We ordered the fried pickles, they looked like french fries! Tasty! We had Salmon with roasted vegetables. One of the best salmon’s we’ve had. Also the Bacon Jam Burger with Beer Battered Fries had so much flavor, more than we we were expecting. Finally the large Pork Tenderloin with gravy threw it over the top. So worth the trip in to eat some from scratch amazing food! Thank you for making my birthday dinner memorable! ♥️
