FamilyMarlin and Ruth Miller along with their family, turned a dream into reality in February 1994 when they opened their new home-style restaurant on 21rst Street in Newark, OH. The delicious homemade food, relaxed atmosphere and delightful staff made the restaurant an overnight success. Soon, it became apparent that more room was needed, and in 1996 the Miller's purchased their present location.

Marlin and Ruth are happy to have many family members involved in the daily operation of the restaurant. Ruth's mother Clara works in the bakery while her father Emanuel greets you at the door with a friendly smile. Ruth's brother Michael, is kitchen manager, and Marlin's sister Linda is bakery manager. The Miller's have twelve children, Jairia, Kristin, Alex, Jordan, Jace, Kylie, Kelsi, Claire, Cameron, Andrea, Chloe and Ashton. Jairia is married to Steve and lives in South Carolina. In the spring of 2006, Jairia gave birth to Elaina Grace. Marlin and Ruth are proud to be brand-new grandparents. Kristin recently graduated from college and designs the menus, photographs the food, and maintains the website. Jordan and Kylie help out in the coffee shop and kitchen. Alex and Jace help out in the bakery. Kelsi and Claire are in school and Ruth spends a lot of time at home with Cameron, Andrea, Ashton, and Chloe.

The goal of the Miller's is to provide a positive Christian environment for their employees, while giving you the best in food, value, and atmosphere. They are thankful to God for His help and continue to ask for His blessing on their work.
