The school served grades one through eight until it was closed in 1950 and students were transferred to the Indian Hill school system. The restaurant was opened in 1962 by the late Don and Phyllis Miller. Mrs. Miller remains the owner and her son, Chris, manages the restaurant. Don t expect anything too trendy at this restaurant at the foot of Indian Hill. But do count on plenty of genuine old-time charm at the Schoolhouse Restaurant, starting with how the food is served.
Every selection comes with a tempting a la mode option.
Our side vegetables were mashed potatoes as fluffy as a summer cloud and stewed tomatoes that our kids wouldn t touch, even though the tomatoes were delicious. All eyes must have been on that dessert menu. We breezed through the meal and tore into desserts of lemon meringue pie and a blackberry cobbler before heading out back where a pen holds a tribe of goats and a gaggle of geese that welcome visitors with greedy eyes and honks. They, too, like to eat at the Schoolhouse and can t get enough of the feed that comes from a nearby coin dispenser. Bring plenty of quarters.
