Fleig's Cafe

We were in town running some errands, had never been here before, thought we'd stop in on a local restaurant. We got there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the dining room was not opened but the bar section was open for dine in, but you could only get sandwiches, you couldn't get an entree or a platter. So my wife ordered a breaded tenderloin, served on white bread, and I ordered what is called on the menu, a Steakburger. To start with the breaded tenderloin was a small round frozen thing, nearly tasteless. My Steakburger wasn't a whole lot better, in fact I am not sure it was better at all. They had a choice: you could order a cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, or steakburger and then add cheese for 25 cents. I ordered the Steakburger, it was big and thick and I had great expectations, until I bit into it. The taste was not bad, but the texture was just almost unedible. I don't even know how to describe it. It had a dense texture and weird in the mouth. It seemed like they compress the patty so hard, trying to make it into the illusion that it was a piece of steak. The fries were crinkly fries, the small thin kind I like. The service was friendly, the place was old and a little crammed up with cases of beer sitting everywhere, so I don't know, I wouldn't try it.

Hiked a few miles at nearby Ferdinand State Forest, made a pit stop here on my way home.

Asked for the chili but was told they weren't making it that day so I was offered noodles instead. Excellent choice. Tasty, hot, served with crackers and a cold beer, perfect after a long walk. Friendly staff too. I look forward to my next visit.

Was back in Southern Indiana for a wedding and needed some dinner. Stopped by Fleig's and got some chicken tenders and German fries. And oh, those German fries! Reminded me of home cooking, tender potatoes and onions fried to perfection.

The chicken tenders seemed to be hand breaded and were juicy on the inside. A little too heavy on the breading for me, but most people would enjoy them that way.

Next time we're back in Ferdinand, I'll order their fried chicken, supposed to be pretty good.

We've stopped here before when traveling and always had a good meal, so we decided to stop again as we were nearby. They have the best fried chicken meals of anyplace around. So we walked in and sat down at the last table available. Seems as though everybody in the area was hungry for Chicken at the same time. Ed came from behind the bar and asked us what we would like. We said fried chicken of course. He got a sad look on his face, apologized and said they were all out. And it was only 12:10. Said they served almost 100 orders, said he would be glad to fix us something else. While we were very disappointed, we decided to order alternatives. I ordered a double cheeseburger and buffalo fries. He brought it hot off the grill and it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the breaded chicken fillet sandwich and buffalo fries. Also delicious. The prices are outrageous and reasonable. We had a great meal for $10.00. If you travel anywhere close to Ferdinand make sure you stop in for a meal. They also have a full bar and beer by the case, also at outrageous prices. You can't go wrong stopping here.

Food was on point service was perfect good little place to get a bite and a good drink after a long day and it was cheep will definitely go back it is places like this that this world needs more of

Our family (2 adults and 3 children) went for breakfast, I was a little skeptical at first. When the food came I was blown away!! Best breakfast sandwich I've EVER had. The sausage was larger then the bread! The kids loved it as well. I definitely recommend this place.

Pleasant surprise! Menu was limited for lunch because the dining room is closed but there is seating at tables in the bar. The breaded chicken was excellent and my aunt was very impressed with the steak burger.

We were seated within a few minutes and a high chair was provided. The server was prompt and honest.

Great food. Nice neighbor atmosphere

Had the stake burger with fried mushrooms. Fantastic, was a awesome environment. I swear it felt like a movie when you walk in an everyone looks, we were out of town so when no one reconized us it was a little ominous but the environment lightened an was very inviting. We ordered our food to go an because we were having a good time talking when it was done we didnt even realize he had told us i got your food on the warmer for you when your ready. Over awesome experience.
