The Cubbard

Excellent food. Excellent service and excellent cooks. Hole in the wall with fun ambiance.In the back of the Cowan pharmacy, just a sandwich board on the street letting you know the special of the day. Table and bar seating. Serve breakfast until they close but the lunch is awesome too.

This spot may be the definition of a little hidden gem. It has textbook small town charm including friendly servers, locals who are on a first name basis with the staff, an old school pharmacy and Hallmark store in the front of the building, and great food. They offer daily specials, and though they serve breakfast through their 2:00 closing, we ordered lunch. The Patty Melt was perfectly done - locally sourced beef, onions, special sauce on grilled rye with fries (my preference would have been for the onions to be cooked a bit more but it was still delicious). The chili cheeseburger was served in a bowl on a pretzel roll with fries. All delicious! We got dessert to go - Apple pie and pistachio muffins. Can't wait to try these this evening. Our first visit was a big success and we are already looking forward to going back!

Date of visit: July 12, 2024We stopped here on the way down to South Carolina for a funeral. I was looking for something simple and easy, comfort food given the reason for our visit down south. The cafe is not very large, or very fancy, but the staff was incredibly accommodating, including providing some things to do for the little ones in our group that were starting to get restless.The food was just okay, and while not really anything that I couldn't have done at home, the price was good and the location is in the middle of a super cute downtown area that reminded me of the town from Back to the Future (it's that cute!).One downside? The bathroom reminds me of something out of a lower-end gas station and definitely needs some help.

Just opened!!! The Cupboard is the diner located in Cowan's Drugstore on the Square in Lebanon (replacing Max's Cupboard which closed last December). The small dining room has had a face lift with fresh floor, paint and table cloths, but maintains the small town charm of a locally owned business. One of the co-owners, Dan Cheech was cooking during our visit. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch and offers daily specials. They bake fresh pies, scones and cinnamon rolls daily. You can get a burger, tenderloin or chicken sandwich but the show stopper was the BLT, which is generously covered in "B". I had the Crispy Chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was breast meat in a very crispy batter served on a fresh brioche roll. The fries were crispy crinkle cuts and I was happy they were lightly salted. The daily special was a Sloppy Joe with fries for $8. The sandwich was served on a brioche roll with a generous portion of sloppy Joe and fries on the side. The Lemon Custard pie was homemade with a light crust and very sweet with a light cream topping. Service was great, Caitlyn checked on us frequently. Food and beverages came out quickly. The place filled up quickly with locals, so get there early. They do pick-up orders if you want. Parking can be tough, but you can usually find a spot on the square.

What a hidden gem! Located in the back of a drugstore in downtown Lebanon. Fantastic place for breakfast. Brunch , and baked sweets. Has a nostalgic diner feel to it and the servers are awesome and friendly. Very reasonable prices. Take cash- 4 % up charge for plastic.

The Cubbard serves a very satisfying BLT. The menu description states six strips of bacon, but the lettuce and tomato were straining to be seen past the mound of bacon on this sandwich. What a perfectly proportioned amount of ingredients between to delicious slices of bread. The accompanying fries were crinkle cut, hot and plentiful. The service was great and quick. The dining area is cozy and comfortable in that you feel like one of the regular customers. Next time I need to try the "Daily Special", which seems to fly out of the kitchen.

Newly re-opened by a gentleman. Fresh updates to floors / walls / tables. Fresh menu every day. I have eaten lunch twice at location with my son. Excellent Bacon Cheese Burgers made to order, Excellent Tenderloin made to order. Food was hot and tasty. Staff is friendly and personable. Hope for continued success for the new owner.

Great and affordable food, cool vibe, and down-to-earth servers. I'd eat at The Cubbard every day if I could!

Stopped here for lunch today. Known the owner for about a year now and finally had a moment. Got the fried chicken wrap with no lettuce. I love a place that offers cottage cheese. It's my favorite food I swear. The warp was huge and delish and all the servers were so sweet.

The food and service were fabulous. We got the tenderloin and it was massive! AND delicious!
