CJ pours it out for Come Back Inn

[Robin Garr]

At a surprisingly hefty 773 words, Marty's review of Come Back Inn (the Swan Street original) in today's CJ is, I believe, the longest essay that Gannett's editors have permitted in the shrinking SCENE for many years. It's a good, workmanlike review, too, with plenty of room to discuss Mark and Gena Wagner's Italian-American menu and describe a good selection of dishes. The report is more descriptive than critical, but the three-star rating seems to fit.

The review is about the original location, but kindly permit a plug for the downtown Jeffersonville Come Back Inn's great draft list of craft beers.

The review is about the original location, but kindly permit a plug for the downtown Jeffersonville Come Back Inn's great draft list of craft beers.

Of course! He actually mentioned Jeff in passing, but nothing about the beer list.

I know this has been discussed before, but it seems that the Come Back Inn got the highest rating possible from the CJ for the type of restaurant it is. The service was fine, the food was great, not a disparaging word, but only three stars.

I guess the only way to get a better rating is a white tablecloth place that does as well as the Come Back Inn.

I much prefer Robins way which means that Flabbys, Cottage Inn, and Annies can get a 90s rating.

I wouldn't complain if it was put in writing that you have to be a fancy place to get a top score.

I prefer the downtown Jeff location myself. Food is consistently great as is the service. No it's not white table cloth but still...
Maybe the number the stars given should reflect how soon you'd return for another meal? I'd easily eat there 2 or more times a week if given the opportunity.

<-------------------- absolutely LOVES the Come Back Inn.

I can get quality Italian Food, but not feel like I'm out for an elegant dinner, which hits the spot sometimes.

Plus, their Antipasto Wontons are

Love...Love...LOVE this place!
