Treece's Restaurant & Lounge

I have looked around the reviews and they are 9-10 years old. Let's get current. Ok! No other place around the immediate area like Treece's. What you want, baby they got it!..... They don't have it, you don't need it! ....Many food items are fried but everyone needs that at least once a month. How else can you serve whole catfish or fillets, smelt, perch, bluegill, onion rings, etc. etc. They have the meatiest, best catfish fillets I've had. Not up for fish? Fried chicken is a good choice. They also serve a mean grilled steak and prime rib - a little on the rare side for me please. Their menu has many choices to choose from. There are also nightly specials. Lighter items are on the menu; but, you can have that at home. I really like their side salad too-better than others I have had....go with blue cheese. Plenty of seating. Great staff. Oh, full bar too!! Street parking or park in the back lot. Relaxed atmosphere! Suit and tie? are on you; but, that's okay too. Don't like crowds? Don't tell but there is a rear bar with 4-5 tables. Fun place to hook up with friends. Give it a try. I think you will go back.

My husband and I just tried Treece's for the first time. Our server Ashley was amazing! She was friendly, very attentive and quick with her service. My husband got the strip and I got the prime rib and they were both cooked perfectly. It's a 45 minute drive from our house, but well worth it!

My husband had the perch I had clam strips. He loved his mine were fine but nothing exceptional. The coleslaw is good and the baked potato is also fine. The onion rings were perfect. Real onion and crispy not greasy. Service was amazingly prompt and very accommodating. This is a dreary little place but it's clean, the food is pretty good and they have every type of fish you could want on the menu. They have a bar side. I've never had a drink there. If you like fish you should give it a try they do their fish well.

Update 2024: Food Poisoning on 1/24/24....check your mayo. Thanks yall! Throwing up my tenderloin was a really fun adventure. Gladly, never coming back. Don't waste your money, folks--just drive to Lafayette for countless options that won't get you sick. Don't say you weren't warned. Rossville's renowned restaurant. Service is hit or miss, like the menu. As a life-long resident I've had a fair share of visits, yet almost every time I visit I leave the place feeling like it's lacking something. Perhaps it's a need for a more original menu with some creativity. Or perhaps the need for less deep fried options. Fortunately, the town now provides several other options for which I would rather frequent. The only positive they've added to the place is that it doesn't wreak of cigarette smoke any more. Gary is the only star.

Food was terrible. My family's food was uncooked and took a hour to be served. I ordered a steak and it was uncooked and had little to no taste.

Back home again in Indiana!! Think Jim Nabors opening the Indy 500... Took my mom out to one of her favorite places in Rossville IN. She was in the mood for smelt and I was craving an Indiana classic; the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich.Treece's is a very busy family spot on a Friday night, but well worth the drive from Lafayette. The smelt was just like my mom remembered (although a tad small in her opinion), perfectly breaded and fried. The full order was listed at 12 ounces, but seemed like 24!My breaded tenderloin was definitely made in the restaurant as it was a very juicy piece of meat with perfect breading... For our sides we chose the onion rings and seasoned wedges which I am guessing are made in house as well.To top of this night of nolstagia, I washed it down Strohs, a beer have not drank in 20 years. A perfect meal.

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. I wanted a pork tenderloin sandwich, it's Indiana afterall and when I'm back I eat all of these sandwiches I can get. I haven't been here since I was a teenager. The place had several families young and old, and lots of seating and booths. Very quaint hometown-ish dining room. It's right on the main street and there is some FREE street parking available. This place is also known for their catfish so thought I'd get an order to go and share with my husband later. The sandwich was just ok, it wasn't as crispy as I expected. The meat was also thick.... not the pounded out thin meat I was expecting. The breading and the sandwich itself kinda reminded me of a McChicken from McDonald's, only it was pork. Although I took the catfish home, I tore off a piece to try it while it was still fresh and hot. The breading was very different. It wasn't the salt and pepper breading I've had other places. Instead it was maybe corn meal ? I was AMAZED at all the options of fish you can order here. Not sure if it's the same breading used. They have Trout, Flounder, Coho Salmon, Blue Gill (I had no idea you could eat those, when fishing Dad always threw them back !), shrimp, and clam strips. My server was nice. I'd definately come back.

Despite the other reviews posted for Treece's, I stopped in.  I've passed by literally hundreds of times as I've traveled through Rossville.   At my table, we had both the tenderloin and the batter-dipped fish sandwich.   I would hands down get both again.  The batter coating on the tenderloin was crunchy, as it should be.  The cut of meat, was thick and juicy, and seasoned well.  They know how to do a tenderloin.   The batter dipped fish was really good as well.  Similar batter to the tenderloin, but quite the different experience.  The bun was so-so, but the meat inside was the real star.Experience & Atmosphere was mediocre.  The waitress was kind, but she was spread thin.  We were also seated on the opposite side of the restaurant from the other patrons, it seemed.   Maybe because we weren't locals?  I don't know.  That said, I'd call ahead and get carry out as i was passing by in a heart-beat.  In a pinch, I'd stop and dine.  Either way, I won't just pass-by any more.

Breaded tenderloins and onion rings were good but I have had better. The tenderloin was a little thicker than I like and it wasn't as tender as it could have been. Only one server was working for the Saturday mid afternoon lunch. Nice lady but I had to ask for a straw for my tea and she forgot the sides I ordered for my tenderloin (lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes). Drink prices were high but I had three free refills. The atmosphere is laid back small town. There is a large bar area separated from a large family dining area. The remodeling is nice and the restaurant is very clean. They are famous for their catfish dinners but unfortunately I'm not a fan of catfish. Next time I go back I'll update the review and have something different. Hopefully they will get more stars!

Fast friendly service. The catfish was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised but curious that the place wasn't busier.
