For decades, The Nashville House drew daily crowds for its fried chicken, biscuits, and apple butter. Then, in 2018, the iconic Nashville, Indiana, restaurant closed following the death of owner Andy Rogers.
Now burnished, polished, and returned to its former glory The Nashville House is back, and its new owner isn’t really such a new owner. Andy’s youngest daughter, Andi Rogers-Bartels, and her husband, Lance Bartels, have stepped in as the third generation to run the family business.
“For me, personally, it was what started my family being in Brown County,” Rogers-Bartels says of the restaurant. “My grandfather started it; my dad kept it.”
