The three story brick building was built in 1890 and housed a hardware store for decades. The locally owned J.G. DePrez Co. was a prominent feature in downtown Shelbyville, Indiana. The building now houses a unique restaurant on the first floor .

Pudder’s opened in 2019 and was able to survive the pandemic. It has maintained its local patron base, and is beginning to gain a reputation in surrounding areas. The restaurant is spacious, has two bars and interesting interior decor.

Interesting rustic decor
Sher and I went to Pudder’s for a late lunch. We were seated immediately, there were a couple of other tables occupied. The service staff is very attentive and meets your needs without delay. Sher started with one of the signature cocktails and really enjoyed it.

Sher’s Pink Drink
Their menu offers an assortment of burgers, wraps, salads, wings and tons of appetizers. Sher ordered the veggie wrap, which was absolutely filled to overflowing with good stuff. I wanted to go with the Fish and Chips. The two pieces of cod were served piping hot, and each piece was very thick and filling!
We had a great lunch
Pudder’s has live music each weekend and a regular schedule of trivia nights. The drinks, food and service is good. Hard to beat that combination, plus for us Pudder’s is close by.

Unfortunately my fish and chips came out ICE COLD, and 45 minutes after I sent it back, I STILL had no dinner. We got a refund and left. We won’t be returning, as IMO, service has greatly decreased and management is not visible like they had been in the past, checking on customers. Last 3 times we were there service was not good, and no manager walked around to check on us. Not returning, at least not anytime soon.

Sorry to hear you had a bad time. We did notice the lack of management when we were there…

Yep…..we were regular visitors of the place since it opened. I think management needs to be around again…seemed to help.
