We are, which is right on property here in the Storm Museum, which is great because then if you're spending all day at the museum, you get that hunger.
You can just head over here.
And I see families here.
This is family friendly.
Very family friendly.
Yes, I love it.
Okay, we have to talk about the menu.
I know this is we're going to talk about this first because I know you are all looking at it as well too.
This is like one of your signature burgers.
This is the public house stacked burger that featured a little bit of breakfast.
Yes.
An egg over easy.
Egg, bacon, cheese and our famous upside down burger.
Upside down burger.
Okay, let me show you a little bit of that, too.
That means.
What is that?

The bun is upside down.
The bun is upside down.
So it literally is when you grab it and bring it up to your mouth, it's right side up.

You guys think of all these kinds of cool things, but you guys also thought of a lot of really cool things in this space too.

Has a little bit of a Studebaker history.
You'll see a lot all of our public houses.
We have a lot of photos of local celebrities, of them friends, neighbors.
I don't see my face.
Yes, we have to fix that.
So anybody that are has been close to us getting helping us through the years.
And so it's very cool to see some very familiar faces.
So that's a tribute to those who have along this journey.
Exactly.
Yes, I love that.
Now I see there is outdoor space here too.
Yes.
My favorite part of this is our outdoor dining.
We have several picnic table style with covers and there's little lights on the inside.
This is a very cozy, beautiful place out there to sit and have dinner and talk.
So for the dining here is it.
Lunch and dinner served?
It's lunch and dinner.
Okay.
And when are you guys opening to?
Do you have special summer hours or is it all year?
No, it's open all year round.
We open at 11:00 and then we close at 10:00 during the week.
Okay.
Awesome.
And I know I see a little stage over there.
We do.
We have some very awesome entertainment, usually Thursday through Sunday.
Okay.
You can check our Facebook page.
They'll do a weekly list of who's going to be here and when.
I love it, but a whole range of music, solo players as well as full bands that come here.
It's very timing.
You guys can sit outside.
You can sit inside.
We got to talk about the menu because I know we're just looking at one of these options, but yes, there's kids menus too, right?
We have a kids suites feature dino nuggets of course, but yeah, we have a smaller kids menu.
Burgers are definitely a popular item.
We have about eight different ones, I think.
Different toppings.
They're just amazing.
And they are.
They have a water line of sandwiches, dinners.
We have some pasta and some steaks, some appetizers.
We have a very popular Asian tot appetizer, which if you get a ticket to the museum, you get a coupon for a free Asian appetizer.
Oh, that's really good to come over here.
Yeah.
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
All right I'm going to try one of the fries because I'm a sucker for fries.
And I feel like you could dip your fries in the running edge.
Completely.
Can't.
Come on.
I'm a sucker for French fries.
These are delicious.
We have really good tater tots to.
The food is delicious.
I love it here.
I love the environment.
I love the colors and everything you guys have here too.
And I think next door, you guys also have the South Bend farm.
Absolutely.
And we can walk through that door to door right back there that you can walk right through and get to the to the farm, take this burger to go and we're going to head there next.
