The Magic Wand is a place I never tire of. It is an old fashion diner with a clown theme. The staff are friendly and the food is ALWAYS good no matter what you order. You can get breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have daily specials and the diner is a favorite of locals. On this particular trip I had their pork tenderloin with tater tots. My friend had a Magic Burger and onion rings. One thing that I really like about this diner is that you can basically get any type of potato product you want from tater tots, crinkle fries, ribbon fries, home fries, mashed potatoes plus cheese curds, mushrooms, onion rings. Also they has a nice selection of ice cream treats and other desserts. Stop in it is worth the visit.

Okay YUM! The cheese curds were super flavorful. I enjoyed my tenderloin and my boyfriend enjoyed his magic burger. The cole slaw is homemade and delicious. We were happy with the service. It’s a cute old-fashioned diner, but if you have a thing about clowns you may want to order from the window.

Rustic 70s early 80s vibe. Food is awesome and the help is on top of it all of my visits so far. The location is small in the sense that it’s an old school drive in restaurant. Seating is limited

If you’re in Churubusco, Indiana, The Magic Wand is the place to stop for a solid meal. The coleslaw is a standout—crisp, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The fried fish is meaty, well-seasoned, and cooked to golden perfection. Paired with fresh, crispy fries, it’s a satisfying, no-fuss meal. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the hometown diner vibe. For a casual, tasty meal, The Magic Wand delivers.

I don’t often write reviews like this, but my experience recently I feel warrants some feedback somewhere… I came in Saturday night 02/21 with my family about an hour before close looking for a quick bite after a long day of tournaments. We sat ourselves and waited. The waitress and Manager on staff ignored us. After over 15 mins of the staff looking at us and deliberately avoiding our table and refusing to even talk to us we got up and left.
No explanation, no apology. Just flat out treated myself and my family like we weren’t worth their time.
I patron locally often, but I think this will be our last time stopping at the wand. I’ve had some service blips in the past, all of which I could forgive or excuse. We all have a bad day/make a mistake – but for multiple staff members (including the Manager on duty) to outright ignore customers because it’s near the end of the night is a ridiculously poor level of customer service and is a sign it’s systemic coming down from the MOD herself. I hope the owner sees this and considers how these employees are impacting their business. Magic wand has been a local staple for a long time, but this kind of behavior from staff is the kind of thing that drives restaurants to lose regular customers and close their doors.

Definitely stop in to this old-fashioned diner and check it out! Great food and great pricing. Ice cream was delicious, fries were hot, and service was fast. If you’re looking to experience a journey to the past, this is definitely it…

We stopped here for dinner while traveling. The nostalgic-looking sign caught our attention. We were not disappointed. We had cheese bites, breaded mushrooms, the “magic burger,” fries and a banana split. It was all fresh and delicious! The staff was friendly and attentive. The whole restaurant has such an old-fashioned, homey vibe. All the décor is vintage clowns, which some might find unnerving, but I thought it added to the charm! Highly recommend!

Diner atmosphere with classic clowns everywhere. Great service. The server was attentive without hovering. The food came out relatively quickly. Mine was tasty, but my dining companions was only lukewarm. Overall I would recommend this place if you like a diner experience.

Wow, I said wow, there’s not a lot better you can say than just wow this stuff is great. This is one of those little places you just don’t find anymore. The place is spotless. The food is fabulous. The people are friendly if you’re driving by this spot, don’t mess up and go past it. I had the sausage gravy and homemade biscuits for breakfast. Partner out from the south and I know what good biscuits and gravy are and this is some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. They also make something called a breaded hamburger. It must be good half the people in there was eating one.Go ahead and stop. You won’t be disappointed.
