The locals are lucky to have such a classic diner with wonderful help. Plenty of local flair. Food? It’s a diner. If you like diner food, you’ll like here.

Eat here anytime I’m in town. The burgers are great!!! Not some skimpy frozen patties… their salad is awesome as well!

This is a great little diner. I was passing through on my way to the casino in french lick. We stopped, and got two meals for there, two meals to go and desert, all for under $35. It would have cost around $15 for two of us if we had just ate there.

I’ve been craving a home-cooked meal since ive been out on the road. It’s not what I’d make at home but I’m Bougee with my home cooking. It’s exactly what I would have eaten at my Grandma’s and what my mom would have made for dinner. Well done lady’s.

My husband and I moved to Indiana a little over a year ago and found Velma’s recommended by our builder. We have come in every 2 weeks for about 6 months and the food and service has always been amazing. Until today. The waitress we had brought us a drink then went out to smoke with her boyfriend. She came back in an ignored us until we had to ask her to order. I ordered a salad and 2 sandwiches. I watched as our food sat on the counter and the waitress just walked by it several times. I waited as long as I could and just got up and ask another employee if she minded if I just took our food. When we were almost done with our food, she brought us our salad. She also went on to tell us how her 10 year old son was there. I really like it here but if I walk in and see her I will be walking out. If we even go back at all. Had to get my own ketchup and silverware because after I served my own food she never came back.

Can’t pass through Shoals without stopping at Velma’s. Just good home cooking at a reasonable price in an old time diner atmosphere. Save room for pie!!

It was great food. Although they do not accept card, it is a cash only place.

Breaded chicken sandwich had the perfect amount of breading, and was perfectly cooked!

This is a good example of one of middle America’s main Street diners. Tasty comfort food served by friendly small town staff.
