121 W. Third St., S.E. Corner SR 43 and Third Street
Daily lunch specials. Smoking is allowed. This spacious corner building has been a restaurant since the 30's when the threshing crews would come and dine family style. (Formerly named Joe's Restaurant, the Corner Cafe suffered a fire in mid-March 1996, caused by a child playing with matches. Although there was major damage, we are lucky the building was not completely destroyed. It is back open for business after some major hard work and rebuilding.) 765-563-4010.
