E Town restaurant

I'd been wanting to try the E Town Restaurant for quite some time and yesterday we finally decided to go down to Elizabethtown and try it out.  If I was ever in Elizabethtown it was when I was young and don't remember it and it's not an area of the state me and the Glue are very familiar with so got to see a lot of places we've never seen.  Some of the towns I'd heard of but many I hadn't.  Names like Herod, Rudement, Eichorn and others.  Once we got south of Harrisburg I had the Glue use her phone gps to get us to the restaurant and it took us on a lot of back roads and I think it ended up slower but it was nice to see the county and makes you appreciate how much farmland and forest area we have around here.
Anyway once we arrived at the restaurant the setting was awesome with it floating on the Ohio River but it had a noticeable list which was caused by the spring flooding.  For the third time in a week or so we went to a place that didn't have beer which is a shame because being on the water begs for a cold one.  For the third time in a week I ordered catfish but this time it was river catfish instead of pond raised and it came with baked beans, slaw, hushpuppies and choice of potato.  The Glue got fried shrimp which came with hushpuppies, slaw and fries.  My baked beans were below par and the slaw was just okay but the river catfish was outstanding and the tator tots were real good.  The Glue's shrimp was also outstanding and she liked the hushpuppies.  Awesome place for the atmosphere alone but the food is great.
Not having been in this part of the state we had to check out a few places on our way home starting with ETown Tap which is just up the hill for the restaurant.  A lot of locals and a lot of harassing each other going on.
From there we drove up route 1 and went to Old Shawneetown and found Nate's Bar & Grill which wasn't very had since it's not a very big town.  It's a deceptively big place and the waitress said they have bands a couple times a month.  We were the only one's there for a little bit but a few people showed up before we finished our beer.  We were told at our next stop that the food is good at Nate's.  Lot's of history in Old Shawneetown and we drove by a few of the markers there including a place that used to be a bank that the James Gang allegedly robbed.
Our last stop was in Shawneetown at the Lincoln Street Pub which is right next to the Dirty Bar according to the Glue but was actually the Diary Bar and was closed.  The pub was quite a bit different than the other places we were at.  Instead of being repurposed old buildings this was a new pole barn type building.
A very nice day in part of the state that we need to visit more often.
