Love their food and fast service! Everything is delicious can’t go wrong here ! The chick club grinder their breadsticks pizza and salad all r amazing ! Don’t drive by you’ll regret it!
We tried this place out on Valentines Day in the evening. It's a cute place and surprisingly, wasn't crowded. It was also conveniently located near our hotel. We told my brother and sister-in-law who happen to live close to Peru about it so maybe they along with my nieces will check it out some time.
The food is great and the Cobb salads are the best in town. The ranch dressing is fantastic. Staff is great. We get lunch here at least once a week. Love this place.
My grandsons and I each tried different sandwiches, two of us got soup, and the other a salad. All were top notch. We were warmly greeted, told about the menu, and service was prompt and attentive. I will most certainly return.
Very impressed by the Boardwalk Cafe! Our first visit last month was amazing and our 2nd visit today was even better!! Give it a try soon!
Been here twice now and both times they knocked it out of the park. Everything I've had is fresh, hot and delicious! Staff is friendly and upbeat! Great place!
We stopped in for a late lunch. My wife and I shared the Mediterranean Pizza. We changed it a bit by adding chicken, removed the onions and replaced the garlic butter with marinara sauce. That pizza was amazing. The kids had their chicken strips, which were great, but as soon as they saw our pizza, they wanted some pizza too. Boy, it was good. My step-mother had the Italian sandwich. It was also great. Not only was the food so good, but the service was equally amazing. I will definitely bring my family here again each time we visit Peru. Thanks for the great experience!
First place since arriving in the USA in early March that has served 1 sitting but very filling and satisfying portions that we didn't waste or take out in doggie bags. Oh, and at a very reasonably priced. We had 7" pizza and 8" stromboli. It is worth dropping in when cycling between the 2 sections of the Nickle Plate Trail on either side of Peru, Indiana.
I have been there multiple times, I have tried their Pizza.., which is really good, especially paired with ground sausage. I've also tried their sandwiches that are always made well & taste really good. There are breadsticks & cheesy bread always made properly hot and paired well with their dipping sauce. The just staff are genuinely sweet alway a smile & working like worker bee well keeping loving atmosphere. If you're ever in Peru.... I would recommend trying this, even if you're only trying it once. Have a good day review readers & may your food journey be blessed.
Stopped by for lunch while working in the area. The Italian combo sandwich was really delicious and filling. The garden salad was good as well. I would highly recommend stopping by and trying their sandwiches.
