Traveling along Route 67, you'll see a gray roadside building with a smiling duckling on an elevated sign - that's Pete's Duck Inn, a fine example of traditional Hoosier cuisine. If its Thursday, Greg will be slow grilling ribs out back for the daily special, and on Wednesdays all-you-can eat frog legs are featured. Pull right in and find a seat in the dining room or on the bar side, which allows smoking. Phil (Pete) and Carol Peterson have run the Duck since 1987, and it’s a friendly casual place where good food is taken seriously. The extensive menu says they specialize in pan-fried chicken, charbroiled steaks and chops, but the stuffed shrimp, gizzards & livers, Cajun catfish and salads are worth the trip as well. Pete's Duck Inn is also known for its hefty breaded or grilled pork tenderloin sandwiches. Pete says he doesn't pound them thin because his customers like the predominant taste the premium pork he uses.

Open Mon - Fri. 8 am - midnight, Sat. 9 am - 2 am, Sun. noon to 8 pm. $$
