Roadhouse Roots

Driving along the rural roads of Salem Township you stumble upon a historic log cabin restaurant opened in 1947. For over 70 years this storied "roadhouse" has brought joy to its guests offering heart-felt service,  classic home cooking, big drinks & lively entertainment even once hosting a performance by the legendary Johnny Cash. 

Today, Karl's Cabin is a family owned fully restored restaurant that specializes in rustic American comfort food.    Our Chef's take great pride in creating seasonal menus using fresh locally sourced dishes with generous sized portions.  Complimenting the menu is our bar which offers boutique wines that pair with our food,  20 delicious rotating craft beers on draft and cocktails made with great care to suit the season.   Our staff, the heartbeat of our restaurant,  will always greet you with a friendly smile and take the extra steps to WOW you.   We can't wait to serve you!
