Kleptz Restaurant

Kleptz Restaurant stands as a beloved landmark in Terre Haute, Indiana, having served the community for over a century with unwavering commitment to quality food and friendly service. Originally established in the early 1900s, this locally-owned establishment has worn many hats throughout its colorful history—as a restaurant, tavern, butcher shop, grocery store, general store, and notably during Prohibition, operated as a speakeasy and moonshine distribution hub. Today, Kleptz continues its independent spirit, offering diners a comfortable place to socialize, relax and enjoy hearty American cuisine. The restaurant features rotating weekly specials including Monday Pizza Night, Tuesday Fried Chicken Night, and Wednesday Wing Night, alongside a full lunch and dinner menu. Guests can enjoy a selection from their beer and wine lists while taking in the historic ambiance. Kleptz also offers comprehensive catering services for private dining events accommodating groups from several to over 60 guests, as well as offsite catering for events of 200 or more people. Located at 9711 US-40 on the east side of Terre Haute, the restaurant is open Monday through Saturday with hours varying by day. Whether you're a local looking for a familiar hangout or a traveler seeking authentic Hoosier hospitality, Kleptz Restaurant delivers exceptional value and a genuine taste of Indiana tradition.
