Corydon eats?

I will be in Corydon, IN tomorrow with my special little man and want to take the opportunity to maybe grab something to eat. From what i see, there are a crapload of chains, meh. I have seen a couple of itty-bitty Mexican restaurants, but never tried them. Because of him, a basic burger and fries would be great.

Sorry, Becky. Don't have any suggestions for you except Culver's (just past Wal-mart). I'm sure there are some great places down in Corydon that I haven't tried.

lots of restaurants, nothing really spectacular.

I've heard Magdalena's on the square is good.

O'Charleys will have burgers up by walmart, same with cracker barrel.

I like El Nopalito for good chips and queso and cold beer.

Magdalena's on the Square...it's not a 5-star place, but the location and ambience are quaint. The food isn't half bad, and it's locally owned.

Thats ok Lois, i knew it was a tough one. I have never been to Culvers, what does it compare to?

So, two for Magdalena's..... "on the square" ..... ummmm, where is that?
I do not know my way around Corydon.

You'll see why it's called "the square" when you get there.

Culver's is a (forgive me for blasphemy) . . . chain!

They have "Butter Burgers", which means they butter the buns before toasting them. I don't recall their burgers as knocking my socks off (only tried that once, not a huge burger fan). Hubby can eat burgers 8 days a week and he really liked them.

I find they have some excellent salads and soups and interesting sandwich options -- Walleye fish sandwich, pot roast sandwich, turkey sourdough BLT, shaved prime rib sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, grilled ham & swiss, etc. They also got Cheese Curds (deep-fried little balls of cheddar cheese), a Wisconsin mainstay. I've heard lots of folks rave about their fried chicken.

But be sure to save room for dessert -- frozen custard! Yum!

BTW, I've heard from several people that the Culver's in Corydon is far and away superior to the one on Hurstbourne in Louisville.

When you get off I-64, just as you pass the Wal-Mart, turn right into the adjoining shopping center. I think there is a Ryan's there. Culver's is a bit behind Ryans, a bank, etc., but look for the bright blue roof.

thanks Jason. That looks good. I just hope they dont make a face when i ask for my sons basic, basic burger with just pickles and ketchup......

Well Lois, you have now put me in a predicament. I am wondering, what would my 3 yr old son want...... Magdalena's (which Mommy loved the menu) or Culver's..... Frozen custard??? In all seriousness, i just want some personal time with my little one..... and i think he might feel more comfortable at Culvers.

Culver's is a (forgive me for blasphemy) . . . chain!

Culvers ROCKS !!!...For a chain.

I can't imagine Magdalena's not being able to fill this bill. It's seemed friendly for all ages the times I've been, and it ISN'T A CHAIN.

Culver's burger is similar to Steak and Shake, very thin and quite yummy.........

I think Culver's is far and away the best chain burger in these parts. Double Butterburger Deluxe with cheese . And for some reason, the buns are always hella fresh. Nice to be able to swap out fries for a good little salad on the meak deal, too.
