Pulaski's Bill and Babes holds title as Indiana's oldest family-owned tavern

For nearly seven decades, the food at Bill and Babes Riverside Inn has brought a lot of visitors to the small community of Pulaski, located seven miles south of Winamac on SR 119.

Although the unincorporated rural village hasn't seen a post office since 1923, the community of Pulaski sees travelers coming from as far as 60 miles away to eat the fresh seafood, handmade burgers, and more that is served at Bill and Babes. 

Dan Reutebuch took over his parents business in 1999. Bill and Babes had humble beginnings. Situated along the Tippecanoe River, the business was opened in 1954 by Bill Reutebuch, and his wife. Locals knew her as Babe. 

 

Now known across the state for their fresh seafood that Reutebuch has flown in weekly from Boston, Bill and Babes also holds the title as being Indiana's oldest family-owned tavern. 

 

Bill and Babes is open seven days from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Although they do have a carry-out option, dine-in is for those 21 and over only.

Seafood specials vary each week, and can be found on the Bill and Babes Facebook page. Aside from seafood, their menu also includes fresh, never frozen hamburgers, steaks, hand-breaded broasted pork chops.

Customers can call 574-213-9608 for questions or orders to-go.
