Lena’s Sugar Shack 5560 S. Brookville Road
This place is a rare item. A neighborhood bar. Not a Gastropub. A Bar. This whole stretch of road had more when I was young. That was when the International Harvester plant and later Navistar was open across the street. Now the building is gone.
They offer basic bar food at a very reasonable price. They also have specials featuring Domestic bottles for $2 and $2.50. Their half pound burger is only $5.99 with chips. That was what I decided on.
One other thing that is unique with this joint is they have a griddle, fryer and cold table right behind the bar. So all the cooking is done in sight. I bet it is a lot of fun when it is busy. As for my burger it was pretty tasty. Nicely toasted bun with a medium burger built the way I wanted it. Instead of chips I opted for some onion petals. I have never had these before and I really liked them.
The Sugar Shack isn’t too close to me but I intend to go back. Breakfast in a bar is great and their porch is just made for a little day drinking.
TENDERLOIN! 😛 I love onion petals, anywhere, and would try theirs.

I have never had them before. Pretty good. Two reasons I like this joint. No pretense and a great front porch. Back in the day you could hang out and watch a big old factory humming away. Now you can watch an empty lot.

Well that’s sad in a way, don’t you think?

Maybe. I just like hanging on a porch with a beer and a sammich.
