As you first walk into Modoc Diner in Modoc, Indiana, you are greeted by a sign that reads, “Welcome to Modoc Diner, make yourself at home.” Owners Teena and Jack Pemberton live by that motto.

“I sometimes wonder if folks come here more to eat or catch up with friends and relatives,” Teena laughs.

Now, me being a Michigander and not a “local,” I can safely say that folks come for both reasons. I daresay that anyone that stops by becomes part of the “family.” In so many ways this is typical of small town diners, but here at Modoc, it goes a bit further.

Modoc Restaurant is located right smack dab in the middle of, well… nowhere in particular. Teena is sincere when she says, “We need this for our community. There are not too many places for the farmers and locals to go in this neck of the woods. We love the people and we love the town.”
