Boone County Junction Bar & Grill | Our Story
A promise kept
Boone County Junction Bar & Grill was born from a deeply personal promise — John Lasley fulfilling his late wife Chrisanne's dying wish to open a restaurant in Lebanon, Indiana. What started as an act of love has become a gathering place for the whole community.
The promise
Before Chrisanne Lasley passed away in November 2025, she asked her husband John to use a life insurance policy to open a restaurant. John said yes — and he meant it.
The junction
The name says exactly where this place is rooted: Boone County, Lebanon, Indiana. The train theme in the logo and décor honors the area's heritage.
100 Smith Street
The brick building at 100 Smith Street went from an empty space to a full house — bold food, cold drinks, and a room that feels like it's been here for years.
For everyone
As John puts it, "It's not just for younger people, and it's not just for older people — it's for anyone who wants to be there." The fire pit and live music back that up every weekend.
