At the bottom of the I-69 exit ramp to Gas City, you can travel a mere 100 yards to the east of the highway, turn in at a hand-lettered sign that says EATS, and visit Payne’s. You can get drive through, but it’s so much more fun to walk through the little porch festooned with wind chimes and take a deep breath in the coffee scented green and teak living room before ordering premium coffee and treats from owner Stephen Payne at the counter. Caramel frappes, milkshakes, and espresso or classic sundaes are made with old-fashioned frozen custard in vanilla or chocolate. Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy head up a full breakfast menu that includes healthy choices such as oatmeal with strawberries, and feta, spinach, tomato and onion on a toasted bagel. Homemade soups served in bread bowls and daily specials such as Grilled Chicken Lasagna with Spinach Salad are less than $7. Grilled sandwiches are served on artisan bread and fresh salads on the menu are packed with fresh spinach, vegetables, herbs and Indiana corn.

Open Mon. - Fri. 8:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. - 10 a.m.
