Becky's Village Restaurant is in downtown Willshire, Ohio, a tiny little burg on the way back to Indy from Van Wert. It was Sunday morning... before the churches let out, I hoped, but when we got in there it was already quite busy-- must've been a lot of folks who attended the early service! I was dressed in my traveling clothes, shorts and a t-shirt, so maybe that gave me away as an outsider? Every head turned to look at us quizzically, like they'd just seen us park a space ship outside. Seeing that we appeared harmless, however, they soon turned back to their own conversations, although I did see one lady immediately don a tinfoil hat to ward off our energy beams (jk).
It was a pretty simple, straightforward diner menu. I had a breaded chicken breast sandwich, and The Little
Woman ordered her staple grilled tenderloin sandwich. I thought the wait would be lengthy given their booming business, but both orders arrived promptly and were excellent! The fries were julienne cut, my favorite, and they were cooked just right, too. Real brewed iced tea topped off a great little meal that was beyond reasonably-priced, something like eleven bucks for both of us.
The best part of the quaint, simple decor was a big clock on the wall that appeared to have been made out of a carnival Big 6 wheel. I reeeeeally WANTED that wheel! I was thinking about offering to buy it when I saw a group of townsfolk outside with torches and pitchforks, testing the hull of our saucer, so we just teleported the hell back aboard and got outa there.... We may yet return to study these Willshireans, though!
