Shop the Lake : The Takeoff
Downtown Shelbyville’s The Takeoff is more than just a bar and grill — it’s a place where great food, small-town heart, and big dreams meet. From their tender pulled pork and chopped brisket to their can’t-miss Saturday Steak Nights, The Takeoff is quickly becoming a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.
When the opportunity came to purchase the space, the owners knew it was the perfect fit. They’d lived in Shelbyville for years and always loved the town — so when former ownership was ready to pass the torch, they jumped in. What began as a bar has since expanded into a full kitchen, and they’ve poured their time, energy, and heart into making it something special.
The Takeoff is a true community hub, built on hard work and fueled by support from neighbors, regulars, and friends. The staff has become like extended family — and the kind of warm, welcoming atmosphere they create is something you can feel as soon as you walk through the door.
