Description
Our Mission
To offer the best value in foodservice - exceptional quality, healthy foods, generous portions, fairly priced and rapid, guest-oriented service.
Long before there was a Baker Bros Restaurant, there was a Baker family. Born and bred in the great Midwest, brothers Tom and Ken Baker were raised to appreciate the value of an honest days work and a good meal in return. And in the Baker home, hearty, honest foods were always served in generous portions and made true to original family recipes handed down through the generations.
Today, those same Baker Brothers bring the authentic taste of the heartland to your neighborhood. As you'd expect, they insist on serving just-baked breads, the freshest produce and only premium quality meats and cheeses. As their guest, you'll find a variety that satisfies both appetite and curiosity.
Come experience our handsome dining room, softly playing jazz music, exceptional value and terrific service.
